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 have travelled a lot. Stayed in hundreds of hotels and hostels. This is without a doubt the best place. Nicola, the manager is absolutely fantastic. You will be taken care of extremely well. As an added bonus, the place is basically on the beach and in the middle of the old town.. Don't expect any luxury. But if you want a service you've never experienced before, this is the place for you.
Absolutely nothing.,.

Verified reviewThe apartment’s location is perfect, very close to all the main attractions in Ohrid. The room was very clean and well equipped. On top of that, Nikola is an amazing host. He waited for me at the bus station and picked me up. He was always available and offered to also drop me at the station when I left for Tirana. He definitely goes above and beyond and that improves the experience altogether.

Verified reviewThe apartment is very clean and comfortable.. It’s perfectly located in the heart of the old town, just steps away from the lake, making it an ideal spot to explore and relax. Nikola is easygoing, as if we’ve known each other for years. He was very helpful throughout my stay, offering plenty of great ideas for places to eat and things to do. I will be back !

Verified reviewWe found Apartments Authentic when we were first staying in Ohrid and decided to stay longer but our previous accommodation had no future rooms that week. It was fantastic in every way, and we will definitely return to both Ohrid and these apartments because 3-4 days is not enough – you need a week or more. Nikola and his wife were so welcoming (just like everyone in Macedonia) and so informative. The apartment was gorgeous with everything needed for a short or long stay including two bedrooms, living room, fully fitted kitchen and private balcony. It is right in the middle of the old town with a balcony partially overlooking Beach Saraiste. The brilliant Nikola also gave us a ride to Ohrid bus station to catch our early onward coach to Tirana – thank you so much for the ride and everything else.

It could not have been better.

Verified reviewFrom the moment, Nikola picked me up from bus terminal, I felt like home. The location is very good. You are directly at the beach and the famous walking path. I really enjoyed my morning coffee with the view at the view. The apartment is clean. Beside the apartment, Nikola and his wife made my stay very memorable. They are just very friendly and welcoming human beings. If I am going to Ohrid again, definitely booking them
They only accept cash payment. So keep that in the mind to avoid any further stress

Verified reviewNikola and his family welcomed me to Ohrid, as if I was an old friend! During my one-week stay, I experienced incredible hospitality: #1. Nikola personally picked me up from the bus station when I arrived and dropped me off again when I left. This was something unexpected that I really appreciated. #2. He invited me out for drinks on two occasions. The first time, he drove me to a hilltop restaurant a few miles outside the city, with great sunset views of Ohrid. The second time, he brought me to a fantastic local spot that I never would have found on my own. #3. He offered really useful "from a local" advice and put me in touch with excellent tour guides, cafes, and restaurants - always pointing me toward the most authentic experiences. #4. On my final day, he kindly arranged for my laundry to be done free of charge, which was a huge help after several days of travel. Throughout my stay, Nikola was always responsive and helpful over WhatsApp. He is a very genuine person and his passion for what he does is obvious, and I can’t recommend the experience highly enough! All the best from Ireland. Thank you.

Verified reviewThe hosts were extremely nice and ready to help. The place is well equipped and the location is great. It was a real pleasure staying at Authentic!
Perhaps the fact that the apartment has no independent entrance but guests need to walk through the hosts' living room could be made more explicit in the property description. It was not a problem at all (the house was empty most of the time, and the interaction with the hosts was extremely pleasant anyway), but it would be good to know in advance. Also, the internet connection was slow at times. Other than this, everything was just perfect!
