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 reviewThis is such an amazing hostel, 10/10 recommend! The hosts are seriously the best! Sonja and her family and incredibly kind and welcoming, she gave lots of great recommendations and I truly felt like I was welcomed into their home. The beds are really comfy and good AC in the rooms. There’s a nice backyard to hangout in. The location is great, close to old town but without the noise and chaos of being in old town.
Nothing I didn’t like

Verified reviewLocation is great and hosts are nice!
Bathroom and toilet are downstairs, it’s very inconvenient to use toilet at night. Bathroom was freezing, the temperature was even colder than outside. Also I didn’t remember when I booked, the method of payment is cash only was mentioned. Compared to Mostar Hotel a three star hotel, this hostel if it is a real hostel is a little expensive.

Verified reviewActually I didn't stayed at this property because they didn't closed the rooms on bookinh.com and they were full booked. I phoned property and lady eas very polite and helpfull, full of understanding, but 7nfortunatelly without any option for overnight.
Low grade is just because they didn't closed the rooms on booking.com since they were fully booked, but otherwise communication was pleasent and helpful so in general I reccomend that facility if they have available rooms.

Verified reviewGreat stay in nice hostel in the heart of Mostar. Owners are extremely kind and helpful. Beds were comfortable and hostel was mostly clean during our stay. It does feel like a home, which was nice during our travels.
We experienced the bathrooms being full several times we needed to go – only two toilets for dorm rooms as one is locked for the private room only. Outside area doesn’t look exactly like the photos and was not as ‘happening’ during our stay. There wasn't a kettle which would have been nice. On two instances staff came in past 11:30pm and turned on the main bedroom light and spoke loudly (likely checking people in but they were not trying to be quiet whatsoever).

Verified reviewLovely place, very close to the city center and main attractions but quiet at the same time. The room was comfy and very clean the same as the bathroom and the kitchen. Sonja and her family are wonderful and very welcoming people. She booked from me an amazing trip to Kravice, Blagaj and Počitelj.

Verified reviewlocation is very central, right next to old town on Otoman side. the staff is quite helpful.
not the typical hostel I am used, a family place converted into 'hostel'. Limited wifi coverage (though fast). Kitchen has not got much space for when it rains + has not really got almost any electrodomestics besides fridge.
