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.).

TurkeyI guess I didn't find anything I didn't like
I liked everything. There is a very clean hostel.ve a young boss. You can tell when you see the hostel. There was shampoo, shower gel and conditioners in the showers in every cabin. And there was a lot of free herbal tea in the kitchen. There were many playing cards and books in the common area for those staying at the hostel.I had a good time.I felt at home. I would definitely recommend it

United KingdomHonestly, there was nothing I didn't like about my stay at Vagabond Hostel Sarajevo. I loved everything about it!
I recently stayed at Vagabond Hostel Sarajevo for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is definitely the highlight – right in the center of the center, making it incredibly easy to explore everywhere in the city. The hostel has a great vibe with good energy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff and receptionists were exceptionally nice and helpful throughout my stay. The bathrooms were clean and towels were provided, which was convenient. The common area was really nice, perfect for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers. One of the perks I enjoyed was the free tea and coffee available until late (around 11 or 12, I suppose), which was a nice touch. The room was comfortable, and the bunk beds were of good quality. Additionally, it was very convenient that the hostel accepts cards, making payment hassle-free. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

CanadaWish the beds had curtains, but got to meet a lot of cool people in my room because they didn't.
Great hostel! Location was perfectly central, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen/social area always had people in it. Ivan the owner was an awesome guy - even got to meet his family after he recommended a jazz bar they were going to that night together.

AustraliaNoisy at night. Heard very loud s&x sounds, woman scr$aming for about 90mins over night the first night. Either slept thru the 2nd night, or didn’t happen? Sink in the kitchen is in a different room which is a pain to go n fill up the kettle or wash dishes. Didn’t realise they locked the kitchen at night so I bought some stuff to have for early breakfast the day I left but couldn’t get it out of the fridge before I left at 5am unfortunately. Having said all that, I would probably still stay again
Fantastic location on the Main Street. Great staff, very helpful and kind. Decent sized room, lockable storage for your bags, each bed had own charging ports which was good. Bed was a little too firm for me but it was warm - good blankets and pillows and a bank of lockers in the middle of the room afforded some extra privacy. Felt safe as the front door was locked with a code although individual rooms not locked, it still felt safe. Can store bags before checkin or after check out but I didn’t do either

New ZealandStaff were so friendly and full of information. There was a board with local food recommendations too and sign ups for free walking tours plus a hostel group chat. Rooms were quite small but plenty of luggage space. Location was right in the centre! Social room was quite small but that makes it great for socialising.

United KingdomIt was a little awkward having to hold up the shower yourself, but that's only a minor issue - I'd still highly recommend staying here.
Loved this hostel. It's in the perfect location and Ivan is an amazing host. It's easy to get chatting in your room or the common room and there's definitely a nice vibe.

Hong KongGreat ambiance! The people were awesome (staff + travellers), the hostel was clean and well maintained, there's even draft beer on tap! Amazing location and strong WiFi. The host is a solid guy as well, who knows the best places for good quality cheap food, bars to hang out after touristing, and all the things to see around. 5 stars all around!

Everything! The hostel provides fresh towels, safe lockers, and cozy common areas to cook, chill, and meet people. Comfortable Crocs to use inside of the rooms are also provided and help to keep everything clean! Thank you to the amazing friendly staff who is always there to welcome you and help with anything you need, with a special shout to Denis! The location is also perfect, right at the city center, and with easy access to public transportation.

Italy*These are not important minus at all* Maybe the showers in the second floor are a bit small, but there’s not much to do about it as the hostel is built inside the city center. The common room isn’t open all night long but it’s understandable because is near to the dorms so they have to keep it quiet.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming, Ivan which I guess is the manager does his job perfectly, the environment is chill but at the same time very involving. I’ve been in the hostel a few times because I’ve been volunteering in a place nearby and I can assure it’s the best hostel for backpackers in Sarajevo. Also the position can’t be more central.

United KingdomToilets/showers could be cleaner. But I think it's not completely their fault as the travellers need to be cleaner too. The kitchen areas could be cleaner too. They cut the water from toilets/showers at night, something that should be consider as some people might need to use the toilet at night.
People were so nice and kind. The staff is always helpful giving advice and tips about the city. The room was small but ok for what you pay. Big lockers where you will need your own 🔒 I met nice people there. They let me leave my backpack after the check-in. They provide a towel
