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):
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.
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.).

TurkeyThere's only one bathroom and it can get quite busy sometimes, especially in the morning.
The staff was amazing — super helpful. You can ask about anything you need and you’ll get the best answers. The owner, Zoran, even lent me his own umbrella when I was desperate to go outside during heavy rain. Many thanks again for the generosity and kindness. The facility is clean and the location is good — only a 10–15 minute walk to the main tourist areas. There’s a big shopping mall and supermarket just across from the hostel.

FranceI really enjoyed my stay at Hostel Central Skopje. I found the place very nice, comfortable and sparkling clean, it has this at home kind of feeling. The owner and the other staff were welcoming, accommodating, very friendly and extraordinarily helpful. I would without hesitation stay there should I go to Skopje again.

United KingdomWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, it is a smaller hostel, so fewer guests but this made it easier to get to know others. The hostel had a great kitchen- with all equipment you could need and basic cooking ingredients too. The beds are comfy, each with a light and powerpoint and cubby holes to keep your belongings. Large lockable lockers were provided. Tea and coffee were also provided. Zoran the owner was so welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the area too!

PolandOwner. So nice, funny and helpful. Now I am repeating his jokes to my family. Hostel is just one small apartment with just 2 rooms, bathroom, kitchen, massive common space and balcony so you feel like at home with international family. Location - literally 5 min to bus station, in front of shopping mall (great if you forgot something and don’t want pay tourist charge on sunscreen, extremely cheap and tasty eatery), just 15 min to Old Bazaar. Hostel like service - you can leave bags before and after check-in, you can do laundry, has locker for staff, gets best budget tips.
