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 reviewThe hostel was perfect and well located but the bed I stayed in had bedbugs.
Thank you very much for your feedback and for pointing this out. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. Please kindly note that our hostel regularly carries out professional disinfection and pest control treatments, as we do our best to keep everything spotless for our guests. Unfortunately, bedbugs can sometimes be brought in unintentionally by travelers from other accommodations, which is something beyond our control despite all preventive measures. Still, we take such comments very seriously and will immediately re-check the room to ensure the comfort of our future guests. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again under better circumstances.

Verified reviewVery good location as just 5 minutes to old Kotor and 1 minute to the beach. Very clean.
Some tourists were cooking in the communal kitchen every evening—likely preparing Asian cuisine—and the strong odors lingered for days. The smell became overwhelming at times. The kitchen definitely needs improved ventilation.
Thank you very much for your kind words about our location and cleanliness – we’re truly happy to hear you enjoyed your stay so close to Old Town Kotor and the beach. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the kitchen. We understand how important comfort is for all our guests, and we’re truly sorry to hear that cooking odors affected your experience. We will definitely look into improving the ventilation system and also reminding all guests to be considerate when using shared spaces. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to welcome you again soon under even better conditions.

Verified reviewAmazing hostel, right next to the beach and just a short walking distance to the Kotor Old Town. I was working while there and never had any issue; the hostel was quiet enough, so I could sit in the kitchen and take a meeting, and the internet worked quite well. I recommend it! The staff was very nice, always supportive and great at communicating!
Nothing to complain.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the location, peaceful atmosphere, and reliable internet. Our team will be happy to hear your kind words! We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Verified reviewLocation was great. Room and Showers were clean and tidy. Host was useful for providing info on where everything was.
Only potential dislike was that there was no blinds - which meant I woke up with sunrise.. which for the most part I didn’t mind, but would’ve been nice to have the choice.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed the location and cleanliness, and that our host could assist you. We appreciate your note about the blinds and will consider it for future improvements. Hope to host you again!

Verified reviewThe accomodation is very clean and easy process to check in. The staff are nice and relaxed. The accommodation was very easy to reach from old town with a s supermarket nearby but out of the main noise and traffic of everyone. Bonus, you can get discount at the other related businesses for staying here.
I walked past the door and the keypad doesn't light up at night. There is also no given key for your room door meaning anyone can enter
Thank you for staying at our accomodation and rewiev Dormitory room has not key, because it is shared with our guests. Guests can choose and take private rooms with key. Best wishes and regards.
