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 reviewI think it is a very interesting place, not only for resting and sleeping but also for making new friends, engaging in cultural communication, and learning about different cultures. People from various countries always stay at this property. I would also like to mention the hospitality and friendliness of the hostel administrators. I was checked in late at night without any issues, and they provided great guidance about the place. .
There was never a situation where I didn't like something. All problems were solvable, and the neighbors were friendly.

Verified reviewFirst of all - Brendon is a very kind soul, the owner is very lucky to have him. The beds were comfortable, people were kind, the place is fairly clean, the water are warm, not many stairs to carry my luggage on, AC is good, locker with a lock and drawers under the bed, comfortable kitchen etc etc...
The shower near the 4 beds bedroom should be built in a way that it won't get everything wet. Please provide hand towels in kitchen and toilets!

Verified reviewI feel a bit conflicted about my review of this hostel.On the positive side, everything was spotless and well maintained. The common areas were comfortable, the kitchen was immaculate, and the location couldn’t have been better. Most importantly, Brendon, the manager, was exceptional — his attentiveness and kindness truly stood out. He alone deserves a 10!
On the negative side, the upper beds had no privacy, and the hallway motion sensor lights lit up the entire room every time someone walked by, even in the middle of the night. Finally, the number of bathrooms was not enough for the amount of guests, which meant waiting almost every time. This was ultimately the reason why, when I came back to Tbilisi, I chose to stay at another hostel.

Verified reviewGreat location and overall a good hostel. The host Brendan was amicable (even going to the effort of learning everyone's names) and really helpful with any questions I had. Rooms have comfortable beds and strong A/C. The whole hostel seemed really clean.
The bathrooms need more hooks for hanging clothes, and the top bunks would be better if they had curtains.

Verified reviewAbsolutely amazing hostel. The manager Brendan was so kind, helpful and even learnt everyone’s names which felt very personal. I only met the owner on the last day but he is also super lovely! The room was extremely clean and spacious, the shared bathroom was also very clean. Free washing facilities are a huge bonus! Great location, walkable to most things.

Verified reviewPerfect stay – 10/10! I stayed in room 2 and absolutely loved everything about this hostel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly – a real lifesaver in the summer heat. There’s also a small shop nearby where you can easily grab some water or snacks. It’s a great spot for a short stay or if you’re planning to explore the old town – the location is very convenient. The only thing to keep in mind is the sound of passing cars, which might bother light sleepers. It didn’t disturb me at all, though, and I left completely impressed and happy. A special thank you to Brandon, who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable – I’ll always think back to this place warmly because of him. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewBrandon & Jason are the Heart & Soul of this wonderful "new home" away from home. They are loving & caring making you feel like part of the special Cosy Koala family. I have traveled for over 80 countries (and counting) and I manage international training in customer service/talent/leadership development so I have plenty experience to say that Cosy Koala Team(Jason & Brandon) have a wonderful customer service. Looking forward to meeting them again in my next visit to Tbilisi. Wohoo! Double Kuddos to Happy Heart & Sweet Soul: Brandon & Jason!!! :-)
