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.).

Verified reviewClean and easy to use
Although it is said to be 1 km from the city center, be aware that it is not flat and involves a steep climb. Considering the location, the price is in the same range as other hostels, so it didn't feel like a good deal.

Verified reviewThis is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, hands down. The place was beautiful, clean, well organized and had a great vibe. Every detail was super thought out. The owner was so nice and clearly made an effort to make everyone feel at home.
You have to make an effort to get to the property as a backpacker since it’s uphill but it’s 100% worth it and not far at all from the city centre.

Verified reviewThe best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Such a lovely atmosphere. The host is an exceptionally kind and welcoming lady, and the whole place carries the same cozy vibe. Guests are mostly quiet and polite, which makes for a perfect antidote to the hectic festival energy in the center. Yes, it’s on a hill, but honestly the 15-minute walk is more than worth it for this little oasis, with its beautiful terrace overlooking the city. The common spaces are great, everything is spotless, the lockers are unusually spacious (!), and the kitchen is well equipped. Bosnians really are the best hosts. Definitely coming back!
Loved everything about it!

Verified reviewWe liked the terrace & the kitchen were clean. The staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations for our stay.
Our room was a 6 bed mixed but there was a 7th bed & person in our room during our stay. Limited showers/toilets. Parking is not necessarily “on-site” as advertised, it’s a short walk from the hostel which was fine but should be advertised clearer

Verified reviewIt was a very big room with big beds. The bathroom was clean although shared. They give tea and some tours if you have time. We could live our luggage even after check-out time.
There were many stairs to get to the room, so it is not accessible for people with disabilities. It is not too close to the train station, but it is to the city ammenities.

Verified reviewI like the ambience of the place. The staff are really helpful and they are always smiling.. I would like to say thank you so much to Ing as she really really helped me from fixing my sim card and making my request 😊. Thank you girl 👧 😊 💃 you are amazing 👏 💃
What I really don't like is the location (even though it is close to the old town), as you will really get tired of climbing uphill to the hostel.. and yeah, the room is kinda warm.. they have to do something to their AC..

Verified reviewVery comfy and modern.
This is at the top of the city, so to come back from the city center, you go up a hill around 20/25 min

Verified reviewVery nicely done. Has everything you need. Not a party hostel as such, has no planned activities but sitting in the common room everyone was friendly.
It’s a bit out of the way, and on top of a hill. Although we knew that when booking. It’s near some transport stops but only a 15/20 minute walk to the old town. So doable on foot

Verified reviewAt this hostel, I've finally had a good, sound sleep that I've been needing in my 2 weeks in the country. I was amazed how spotless everything was! However, what really stood out, were all the extras in the room which are usually always needed but always missing....such as hooks, surfaces to place one's stuff...there was even much more.... seating, hangers, lockers....truly impressed ....this must be the best hostel not just in Bosnia but all over Europe and possibly worldwide, especially when you consider what you get for what you re paying.... Amazing hostel indeed!
Dear Catherine, Wow – what an incredible review! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that you finally got the good rest you needed and that you found everything clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We put a lot of care into the little details, so it’s truly rewarding to know that the hooks, surfaces, lockers, and extra touches made a difference for you. Your comment about us being one of the best hostels not only in Bosnia but possibly worldwide absolutely made our day! It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back anytime your travels bring you this way again. Warm regards, Šejla
