How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

This is my second stay here. I came three years ago. It felt like home then, and it feels the same now. Everything was perfect. Tigran made everything easy for me. If I come back, this is where I'll stay again.

I knew in advance that it was in top floor, but it is a consideration in this heat, there was a lot of coming and going in the room from late arrivals so didn’t get the best sleeps of my trip, but that’s his hostelling!!
Well equipped hostel, great WiFi and helpful staff

It’s up quite a few flights of stairs so might not be the best if you have mobility issues as there is no lift option.
Great staff working here and a very cosy hostel with good common areas, kitchen & food storage as well as good toilet to people ratio. I’ve returned for a second stay as a testament to how much I rated it the first time round.

If you're carrying a lot of luggage, the stairs might be a challenge.
Everything was amazing. I arrived in the middle of the night, but I was promptly welcomed. Sean is a great host: he shared many tips about Yerevan/Armenia and a lot of helpful information, which made my days in Yerevan much easier. The place is clean, bathrooms are spacious and there is a great welcoming vibe. At the end of each day, it felt like coming back home after many hours of sightseeing. I enjoyed it so much I ended up extending my stay. Other guests were also super friendly - I had a great time with them. The hostel is very well located - I walked pretty much everywhere. Definitely recommend it and will stay there once I have the chance to visit Yerevan again.

Extremely comfortable private room, and warmly hosted by Sean. Was always relieved to come back here after a day of heavy tourism, which is the sign of a good hostel. Received sweets from a friendly lady who lived in the same block of flats, and spoke to her for a good half hour about all sorts, so look out for her.

While it is close to most attractions, the entrance is hidden in the back alley way. Which isnt a bid deal but the the amount of stairs to climb to the top was exhausting. Just be prepared!
The place was clean. Room was clean. Very chill vibe hostel. Nice staff too!

Convenient central location. Small clean & quiet hostel in an apartment that feels very much like home. Acting host,Daniel,was super kind, respectful & helpful with everything! He went above & beyond call of duty to get up at 2:30AM to help me order a ride to the airport and bring my suitcase down 6 floors of stairs to the vehicle. That simply is genuine kindness!! What an incredibly wonderful person! Tigran the owner was so sweet & often brought in treats for the guests. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience at this hostel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived, making me feel right at home. The location is perfect – close to everything I wanted to see, with easy access to public transportation. The hostel itself is spotless. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were all immaculate and well-maintained. They take pride in keeping the place in great shape. What stood out the most was the atmosphere – friendly and relaxed, but also professional. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, this is a great place to stay. I’ll be back the next time I’m in town. Highly recommended!
