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 stayed at this hostel and was very happy with it! The location is excellent — there are plenty of shops with ready-to-eat food and affordable cafes nearby, so finding something to eat was never a problem. The beach is literally just across the road — super convenient! The administrator was great — always available, helpful, and friendly. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the location. Overall, a great combination of comfort, convenience, and value. I definitely recommend it!

Verified reviewI stayed at a retro-style hostel — a very atmospheric and charming place! The vintage interior creates a special vibe, and the spacious layout along with a large balcony made the stay even more enjoyable. There are 4 toilets and 2 showers in the hostel — I never had to wait in line, which was a pleasant surprise. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen is small but very convenient — everything is well thought out and within easy reach. I also appreciated the two large fridges — there was plenty of space for everyone’s food. Overall, it’s a cozy, clean place with character. I can definitely recommend it!

Verified reviewA very atmospheric hostel, fully lined with wood — it feels like stepping into a 1960s retro film. The interior is a true gem: vintage posters from the era cover the walls, and every corner has a nostalgic charm. The bed was surprisingly comfortable — I had a great night’s sleep. There’s also a large balcony, perfect for relaxing with a book or a cup of coffee, especially in the quiet of the evening. If you enjoy vintage style, wood interiors, and a touch of the past, this place will definitely win you over. A truly unique and memorable hostel with character.

Verified reviewI recently stayed at this hostel and realized: if I had found this place back in the ‘80s, I’d have driven up in a Lada, popped Modern Talking into my “Vesna” cassette player, and never left. 📍 Location — Straight Out of “Yalta ‘87” The sea is just a short walk away — like going from your kitchen to the fridge at night: quick, familiar, and deeply satisfying. A big shopping mall is just across the road — everything you need is in there, from food to fun. Around the corner: cafes, bakeries, mini-markets, even shawarma that would make a Soviet cook jealous. The bus stop is right there — hop on and ride, like a weekend trip to grandma’s. 🏡 The Terrace — A Power Spot (With Tea) The large, cozy terrace isn’t just a feature — it’s a stage where you play your daily role: morning coffee like in an old movie, evening tea like on a courtyard bench — but with Wi-Fi. In the evenings, we’d sit with other guests, share stories and cookies. Almost like the old days — only now it’s lattes and phone chargers instead of tinctures and transistor radios. 🧼 Facilities — No Shortages Here Rooms are clean, beds are comfy — you can toss and turn like it’s a school disco. Showers worked fine, always had hot water (not like in ‘89 when everything was “temporarily” shut off). The shared kitchen had everything — stove, kettle, dishes. You could make soup, or just stare at the fridge like it’s a locked “Beryozka” store. 👥 Staff — Like a Cultural Center Host Friendly, helpful, and with a good sense of humor. They’ll give you tips, directions, and even lend a charger if you forgot yours. It felt less like a hostel and more like visiting good friends who happen to have Wi-Fi.

Verified reviewThe hostel’s good — chill atmosphere, quiet, no one bothers you, and people are generally friendly. Conditions are totally fine: clean, decent shower, kitchen, bed — no complaints. Check-in was easy: the hosts sent a detailed guide with photos, so I found everything quickly, zero stress. Big plus for that. Location is great: the sea is literally two minutes away on foot. There’s a shopping mall, cafés, and public transport nearby — super convenient. Overall, a solid spot if you want a comfy place to stay without any hassle. Would recommend.

Verified reviewHostel itself is decent. There is a lot of space & common areas like the terrace or the dinner tables.
Beds have curtains which are always a plus, yet the matress was definitely old and not so comfortable. Bathrooms are also very old and not always so clean, there is a lot of construction going on and the staircase up to the hostel feels a lil sketchy. Sadly I didn't really meet anyone while being there cause the only people staying there were man way older than me... Also the owner will offer you a discount for a good review which I didn't take because I really dislike it if opinions are bought.

Verified reviewWhen i arrive, there was no receptionist. When i called him, he told me to find my place by myself. There was no welcoming. This is absurd. And at the evening there was no internet connection. And i told the same receptionist and he told lots of people connecting the internet and he said its normal. This is hostel, somebody should tell him. Bed was so uncomfortable also.

All was good

Verified reviewThe place has all of the amenities for short or long term stay. Great location, 2 minutes walk from the beach and close to a couple large Supermarkets. No alcohol allowed in the hostel, so you dont have to deal so much with loud people coming in at 3am. Washing laundry is free and machine dry is 2 lari. A terrace for when the weather is warm and comfortable indoor common area that makes it easy to be social. Lots of electrical outlets available plus a small work station. Well stocked kitchen for doing your own cooking.
The oven doesnt work Bedrooms could benefit from dark curtains on the windows to keep the light out. Its a bit far from the old town, although there is a bus stop 20 meters from the hostel.
