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 reviewIt has all the basic services. The location is decent. Free towels and the clerk/owner was very kind and helpful. Easy check-in
I paid 48€ for one night for what is basically a sub-par hostel (I've been to countless). Look, I chose it because I had no other option, it was the cheapest place I could book on the same day in the tourist season. I'm sure if I booked in advance it would cost less, but even for 20/25€ please reconsider coming here if you have other options. The whole place felt very cheap, it is small, many bunk beds in one room (therefore very smelly). The building is oldish too. If you've been to many hostels you know this is below average, ESPECIALLY for 48€. But anyway, I'm glad I haven't slept in the car, so thanks to the clerk, I had the minimum I needed and best of luck. Edit - ironic reply by the hostel, make of that what you want. My review is not malicious, it is an honest review meant to help travellers, I don't earn money by being detailed and honest and I'm not the owner of the nearby hostel... It's not them to set the final price - may be, who cares? I judge the value for money I got for 48€ (specifying it's high season same day) not their moral integrity which I don't doubt. Same for the old building and small rooms - ok, not their fault, but I report this to fellow travelers. Who cares if they own it or not? I didn't say they don't clean them I say it's small and, if you can, look around. They tell me not to book through the app - where then? No site or number They write I have a shared room and not a private one - why mentioning that, it was clear from my review. There are hostels with dorms and way more space for cheaper, I review what I see... The hostel is central and tidy, fair, but still sub-par and still very small. They imply I have hotel standards, that's a way to handle remarks you don't like which I don't share, since you dismiss them. Anyway. My 2/3 cents, good luck!
Thanks for the ironic and witty review😊 You really have time 😊 We would be happy to rate you as a guest😊 Good luck😊

Verified reviewWe stayed in a double room with a private bathroom and a balcony — cozy, clean, and pleasant. The little balcony totally stole our hearts. An air conditioner in the room - its absolute magic! The hostel is near the train and bus stations. Check-in starts at 5:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:00 AM. The host is the soul of the place — kind, attentive, and clearly puts a lot of effort into making guests feel welcome. That really shows. For security, the entrance to the hostel is locked and accessible only with a key — a thoughtful detail that made us feel safe. We got lucky — it was quiet and peaceful during our stay, though that likely depends on your neighbors. Overall, this place really exceeded our expectations. For a hostel, it’s very impressive — clean, cozy, well-run.
the bed corners Maybe we just weren’t careful enough, but we bumping into the corners of the bed. That thing’s a stealthy ninja) be warned!

Verified reviewExcellent location, comfortable bed, loved sitting on the balcony of our room. The common kitchen area was always super clean, the staff very friendly, and other guests were quiet and courteous to each other. Some reviews complain about the 5 pm check-in time, but it's not a big deal because you can store your bag in a locker at the train station for €2 until then and walk around and explore in the meantime. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Thank you

Verified reviewI liked the level of hospitality. The host gave me advice on what to see in the city.
The price could be cheaper but Croatia is generally expensive when it comes to accomodation.

Verified reviewThe reception staff was friendly and recommended places to eat or got to
Tiny room for the price. The bathroom is smaller and has a weird, unpleasant smell (possibly of urine) all the time. There are no toiletries (at least an all-purpose body wash) If you are coming here for the first time and want to stay closer to the beach, I would not recommend this place. The nearest beach is a 20-minute bus ride.
Thank you. Photos and the size of the room and bathroom are visible before booking. It says how much it is. You could have told us during your stay so we could have done something. The hostel is located in the center, in the old town. It says the distance to the beach.

Verified reviewHostel Kvarner really exceeded all my expectations. Being naturally a bit skeptical after reading all reviews good and bad I didn't know what to expect. When I got at check in I met a very nice enthusiastic friendly owner working hard to make his guests feel like they were at home. In general the owner was very friendly and attentive all the time I was there not just with me but also with the rest of the guests. I spent a lot of time at the Hostel since I had a work assignment in Rijeka and had to be rested for my task. The Hostel itself was very clean. You can see right away that they put special emphasis on cleanliness and spend hours cleaning it daily. The Kitchen was pristine. Fully functionable and equipped with all needed cooking utensils. I cooked a few meals there. Was a joy using it. The dorm was great too. The bathroom and shower in the dorm were pristine clean too just like the dorm itself at all times. I really could not find anything wrong with it. The other guests were also really nice. I was the last to check in that day and only one top bunk was available I would have preferred the bottom one but nevertheless I slept great. The mattrace was very comfortable I got a lot of good rest there. The Lockers aswell were good the only thing that would have been better is if they were a bit larger to fit all my stuff. Aside from that everything else was excellent. I will come back here next time with my family when I am in Rijeka again. BOOK HERE with confidence you WON'T REGRET IT! Hvala Puno na svemu!
Nothing really everything was great. The Lockers could have been a little larger but that's about it.
Thank you

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, close to train station, walkable distance from the centre. I booked a private room, which was totally ok for what i paid.
Some minor issues with the room but it was ok according to the price. You hear every sound on the floor, especially if people are socializing in the common areas it can get real loud in the room.
Thank you. This is hostel
