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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The best hostel in Sarajevo, I think. It was my first trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina and I am glad that I have chosen this hotel. I advise you to book here. You will not regret it. Location is one of the best in Sarajevo, I didn't even want to go somewhere another place because right outside of my hostel, there were the most beautiful places. Beautiful staff. Thanks!

United StatesNothing to dislike, just a suggestion. Just a microwave(maybe it was in the downstairs kitchen, tbh i didnt ask) and a rug or doormat outside the bathrooms. Thats it.
Everything. I booked it for 2 nights then extended it for 2 more nights. I didn't expect it to be this good! The location is perrrfect. All the major attractions restaurants and historical sites are within walking distance. Even for me who takes an elevator even going downstairs one floor lol. From airport you have buses and can cath trams. Or just €15-20It was very clean. Very decent room n beds. It may look different from outside but once you enter the actual hostel, you'd be surprised. The hostel also has lots of tid bits about WW1. The staff very friendly very helpful I'd like to mention Svetlana(hope I spelled it correctly) was so sweet and nice n friendly. She gave good recommendations for the restaurants bakeries and Mostar and also gave some history about Mostar. She's very knowledgeable and very good guide, if i must say. I would have extended for my full stay but the rooms were all booked. A huge group of girls booked it. This shows that women find it safe as well. I saw ladies travelling alone also staying in this hostel. Oh and they give you a big good quality towel. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sarajevo and I'd definitely stay there again.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaCertain segments could be improved, it definitely needs certain refurbishment after 10 years of use, at least in smallest segments, like ledges of windows, windowpanes, bathroom doors, showers, etc.
My third stay here. Been there when they just opened it, 10 yrs ago. It is a bit worn out after 10 years of use but still the beds are alright. I would recommend. It is perfect for short stay. The staff is super-friendly. Luckily, you will not find people living here from obscure origin and countries, like in Zagreb or Belgrade, and it is enormous plus.

ChinaThe bunk beds don't have curtains so privacy is slightly compromised. The ladder up to the upper bunk can be a little bit tough on your feet. But still, pretty good value for the money and experience.
The people and vibe here are great, and the location is awesome, within walking distance to everywhere. The hostel is located within an arguably old building but is designed pretty well. The common space on the first floor is pretty good and there were more rooms on the second floor.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming! In an alley in the center of the old city, it is very quiet to sleep at night! With two clean kitchens, you can cook your own dishes! Complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day! There is a night light and a clean bath towel by the bed! Each person has a large locker with lock, the second floor door has a lock, the first floor has staff, very safe!

GermanyThe reading lamps in our room didn't work and the showers were too small to get changed in there.
We had a lovely time at this hostel. We spent two nights in a private bedroom with shared bathroom and kitchen. The room was very large and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom areas were kept clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the location, close to public transport and the main old town attractions. Great value for money

JordanThe entrance of the building is very old and not clean, and I hope there were a hair dryer in the bathroom. I hope there were also shampoo, although I think those are some miner points that don't affect negatively the overall good experience.
The staff,the first thing you do in any hotel or a hostel is the check in, the guys were so nice, friendly and funny. This let you feel comfortable before even having a look to the room. The location is simply WOW!
