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.).

I loved the fantastic location 5 minutes from the lake and the beautiful views from the window. My 4-bed dorm was spacious, not overcrowded, in nice colours. Every bed has a curtain for privacy, a small lamp and a power outlet. The owner are friendly and helpful.

It could be a good idea to put a stand/mirror to do the make up or hair so that we won't blcok the wc or shower for that.
Everything about this hostel is just good. Lovely staff (much loves to Vladimir 🫶), clean, big enough social area.

It was all great. My suggestions would be fobs for private room rather than a single key would give more flexibility for two people staying in the room. Bigger bins in the bathroom as they sometimes overflowed, although the size is standard across the Balkans.
Lovely owner and team with great local knowledge to share. Their cleaning routine is next level and greatly appreciated. Beds are comfy with thick curtains and air con works well. I stayed in female dorm with ensuite, 6 bed mixed dorm and private room and all were comfortable. There’s a common area inside and outside to meet people and proper coffee available in the morning. They also facilitate a sunset boat tour and wine tasting every couple of days. Location in the old town is fantastic. Lake is 5min away and the best beach Labino a scenic 20min walk. Bus to the east side of the lake is 5min walk and the team can recommend the best beaches. Supermarket, ATM with no fees, and cafes within a few minutes. Make sure to dine at Plate Bistro. For those arriving by coach it’s 10min walk from Classic Bus Company, or 30min walk from main bus station (beware taxis overcharge). Ohrid is stunning and the hostel was so great I kept extending my stay and ended up there 9 nights.

Just nitpicking... The ladder to the upper bunk bed gets a bit of time to get used to. As well as the gap there is between the bed and the wall. Just needs some time to get used to so you don't drop your things.
Hostel has everything you need. Good location, excellent staff and good facilities. The social area facilitates interaction between travelers.

Honestly nothing, this is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.
Super clean, great location, comfy beds (especially the pillows!) and the BEST staff/ ownership. Natasha, Vlad, and Alex all so kind and go above and beyond with everything. So much local knowledge too.

One of my favourite hostels. Natasha, who runs the hostel is so warm, intelligent, helpful and a gorgeous person. She also provides excellent coffee. The hostel is so clean and comfortable with air con, bunks with their own curtain, charger and light. Well located, an easy walk to everything. A special place to socialise in the evening.
