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 man working there, the free tea and coffee and good wifi
Extreme dirty bathroom everywhere dead insects. Also at the bed. Stained pillows. Hard matras and very thin pillow
We are very sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Although we do not agree with most of your objections (taking into account that for the same period when you were in the hostel we have completely opposite evaluations), we will seriously consider them. About the dead insects (flies), Let me remind you that you were the one that asked for the door to stay open overnight, which together with the lights in the room probably attracted these flies into the room during the night. But nevermind, it's our fault, because we always try to fulfill all the requests from our guests.

Verified reviewThe 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.
There's only one bathroom and it can get quite busy sometimes, especially in the morning.

Verified reviewThe owner is quite friendly and helpful. It was very hot when I was there and the AC worked very well.
The hostel is an apartment, actually and small compared to the general understanding of hostels. This is OK for a short stay, but I would prefer a spacious one if I was staying longer. There is one bathroom and toilet, can be a bit difficult when it is full.

Verified reviewI 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.

Verified reviewWe 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!
