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.).

My favourite hostel, and I’ve stayed at many throughout Europe and Asia. Igor is an incredible host and really knows how to build community with and for his guests. I hope to come back in the future.

AustraliaFor some reason it was common for the very narrow hallway to be used as a hangout space(rather than the large living area right next to it). This made going to the bathroom at night very awkward as you had to climb over a bunch of people who were smoking and drinking
The location was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Bathrooms were clean and there was a small fridge that you could store some food in.

Igor is a wonderful host! He is knowledgeable about the city and provides me with good tips for my short visit. Even graciously, let me check in at around 1am due to flight delays. The location is just above the walking street at the corner of the Eternal Flame and only few minutes away to the Scared Heart Cathedral.

KazakhstanThis is the only hostel where I felt so sad leaving. It’s not just a hostel, it’s Igor’s little commune where everyone is welcome:) go to Sarajevo and never miss a chance to meet Igor, he is the legend. About facilities: beds have curtains, bathroom and shower is clean, the common area and the balcony where you can people-watch all day is a gem!

PakistanThe banana I couldn’t reach.
If you haven't met Igor, you haven't truly experienced Sarajevo! Igor is more than just a host - he's a brother, a guide, and a friend. His kindness, care, and golden heart make you feel right at home. I was initially worried about spending 5 days in Sarajevo, but Igor showed me the ropes and introduced me to a wealth of activities to enjoy. Good Place Hostel is more than just a place to stay - it's a therapy haven! The positive energy, cool guests, and amazing volunteers create a supportive community that will lift your spirits. What truly sets Igor apart, though, is the genuine care he shows for his guests. He takes a personal interest in each person's journey, offering guidance, support, and encouragement whenever needed. Igor's warmth and hospitality made my stay truly unforgettable. And, as he would say, we became 'brothers for life'! If you're looking for a genuine Sarajevo experience, a place to heal and connect, and a host who truly cares, look no further than Good Place Hostel!"

ArgentinaThe hungovers...
I arrived late after a really rough couple days and I was immediately received by Igor, the owner, with a big smile and heart. He first offered me coffee and after showing me the place we drank Rakija, in about an hour I had already stopped caring about everything that was troubling my mind and was just able to enjoy a nice night with him and a couple other guests. For Igor, as he later explained to me, his hostel is more than just a place to spend a night in. He has a philosophy of hospitality that goes beyond mere accomodation. The common area is a place of friendliness and freedom where, unless you are intolerant, you'll be able to debate just about anything; everyone, no matter where they come from or where are they heading, will feel welcomed. Due to Sarajewo's historical significance and Bosnia's lax touristic visa requirements I was able to meet people from all around the world, and thanks to Igor's good vibes the intercultural exchange is, from the get go, an ideal put into practice. Showers, bathrooms, linen and beds were excellent too, but that's secondary to the experience. I ended up extending my stay in Bosnia two more weeks and volunteering as well. živjeli Igor, živjeli The Good Place, živjeli Yugoslavija. ✊🏻

Tram to the west terminal is about 200m. The 103 bus stop, to the east terminal is around 500m. The hostel's entrance is behind the coffee shop. You can see the coffee shop on the cover picture, to the left of the red roofed section.

The best way to define this hostel is that it's a hostel where you will feel like at home! It's cosy, clean and it's super well located. Igor is a great host. Thank you for answering all my questions regarding, main places to visit, public transportations, and all the interesting discussions we had about the history, the politic and the futur of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Swedennothing. go here!
So, where do I start? I am a backpacker who have been to 84 countries so far and this was one of the best hostels I ever had stayed in. Igor is a really cool host, the place is very friendly, it’s so clean and fresh, perfect location, even a “indoor” balcony where you can sit watch people walk on the street. There’s small mirrors in each bed for your morning routine, there’s small pockets for your important belongings. The bed are comfortable and you create your own space with curtains. Highly recommended!
