Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FinlandNo complaints really, but if the top bunk beds all had some kind of shelf for little items like your phone or a water bottle, then the place would be perfect
One of my favorite hostels in a while! The location is very convenient and everyone working there were warm and friendly, with the cozy decoration in the common areas it almost felt like visiting someone's home. Beers are not expensive and there's free coffee and tea whenever you need it. Good AC in the room too.

Common areas are pretty nice and large. Kitchen is a nice spacious area to cook and prep on a budget. Walkable distance to malls, centrum and bus station. Typical hostel bunk beds. Two bathrooms on the ground floors.

United KingdomThere were no charging sockets next to ALL the beds.
So close to the bus station, perfect for early or late buses and 20min walk to central, can leave bags. Friendly staff and they can arrange taxi for you which you pay at hostel. Free lockable lockers with key provided.

Staff was so kind and helpful, real hostel vibe, met tons of wonderful travelers. The breakfast is amazing, a Moroccan volunteer cooked up a tasty meal one morning and it was FREE! The front desk kept in touch with me via what’s app to make sure I found my way to the hostel, that was a great detail. Izmir can be a bit dull but I love it here.

North MacedoniaNothing to complain about, really.
Very convenient location -- within a ten-minute walk of the bus/train station and the city center -- but quiet neighborhood. Friendly and helpful staff. Friendly, casual atmosphere, yet quiet during the night and early morning. Outdoor lounge/patio potentially large enough to accommodate both smokers and nonsmokers. Curtains on beds. Plenty of power outlets. Lockers and towels provided. Sufficient bathrooms and toilets, including hair dryers. Kitchen available with microwave and lots of dishes and utensils. Free coffee and fruit. One of the best places to stay in Skopje for budget travelers/backpackers!

United StatesThe mattress was very comfortable. There were curtains for privacy for each bunk. Lots of places to keep your stuff as well as a locker for each bed. There are 3 bathrooms for the hostel and I was never waiting for someone to finish. The ladies who work there were all really nice and knowledgeable about the area. Lots of great info! It's a short walk to the bus station. And about a 15 minute walk to the old bazaar area. It's a lovely riverside walk to old town and doesn't seem like 15 minutes.

United KingdomIf the hostel is full, I could imagine you might be waiting for one of the few bathrooms, but wasn't really an issue when I was there (out of season)
Staff are absolutely lovely (especially Filiz (sp?) and her adorable dog). Location is handy for the bus station, down a bit of a side street - quiet neighbourhood. Walk into the city centre is about 20 minutes along by the river. Beds decent, with privacy curtains. Helpful with local information and recommendations, and the manager may greet you on a Sunday morning with an offer of rakija at 1030! 😂
