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 reviewOne of the best hostels I ever stayed in my trips. There are many beds from which you can choose one and settle in. I was not bothered by the cranking bed sound, seems like it was minimal for the bed I choose. The instructions to get to the location is clear from the hosts message. Also a lovely host who comes and greet you when you arrive. Also host respond quite quickly to your requests. I was struggling to find the air conditioning remote and within minutes of me asking this, I got reply. That was nice! Also it's 10 minute drive from Kotor old town, so not much crowd in this place. For the price you pay, this is one of the best option to stay in Kotor.
Thank you 😊

Verified reviewOur host was fantastic! This felt like a real homestay and a community. Everyone was so friendly! Our lovely host gave us such good tips both locally and in other cities. The property is overall good and I would stay here again. It was really hot when we were there, so it wasn't that comfortable staying in the common areas, but the rooms did have air conditioning. I was worried about other reviews saying that the air conditioning unit was too close to the bed, but we were lucky with our room that it wasn't an issue. The bathrooms and showers were great! Nice and modern. And the kitchen was well equipped. The top bunk one of us slept it was indeed a bit wobbly (per other reviews), but still felt safe. The location is good! It's close to a grocery store, bakery, and several restaurants. The old town is approx 20-30 min walking, which isn't too bad when you see the traffic driving there!
Would be nice if the bunks were more stable. Also, the fridge seems a bit small for the number of guests, or it is not cleaned out often enough. A lot of guests were storing their 2L bottles of water in the fridge, which didn't leave a lot of room for our perishable food. These were not huge problems for us and we would absolutely stay here again.

Verified reviewAmazing owner Vesna, great location (restaurants, supermarkets, several minutes to the beach, 15 mins to Kotor old town), spacious common area, good kitchen, two cleanest bathrooms, several balconies with a view. The vibe in this place is insane! Not like a hostel, rather like renting a chique apartment with a bunch of your friends.
Probably my best hostel stay ever, no disadvantages
thank you 😊

Verified reviewVesna is so kind, warm, and welcoming. The apartment is very well kept, cozy, and homey. The terrace is nice and large and offers a lovely view of the mountains. Well stocked and spacious kitchen with two pleasant bathrooms. Good location as there is a little convenience store right below, a medical store and the beach is not far. Definitely recommend!
