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.).

Very spacious room for two. They don’t have an AC , but they have provided a fan which has made our night much comfortable. It’s quite near the bus station which we took to get ourselves to lake bled for an early morning hike and stroll.

NetherlandsThe closets had no clothing hangers, and there's not that many toilets for the number of guests. Other than that it's a wonderful place and we would stay again!
Friendly staff that would help us with anything we needed. The location is great, in the old city center and near a car park across the bridge. Nice common area, although we did not use this. Our room was spacious enough and clean.

JapanWe didn't take note of the handwritten external door code on the check-in form and after returning from dinner (just after 9pm I think) the front door was locked with no way to contact the owner to ask for the code. In future, a reminder to take a photo of the code would help. Or having the ability to use WhatsApp in emergencies.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The actual name is Cukrarna Hostel (and it is a hostel) but it is lovely and the room was large and had everything we needed, in a great location.

United StatesThere was no outlet located near my bed so I had to hang out in the common areas before going to sleep and when I woke up in order to make sure my phone was charged for the day (a good idea would probably be to use extension cords so there could be a plug by each bed). As far as I could tell, there was: 1 unisex toilet and 2 showers on the top floor, 2 unisex toilets and 1 shower on the first floor, and 1 male toilet and 1 female toilet on the ground floor. While the showers seemed to be a sufficient number, the bathrooms did not seem to be and you had to try multiple floors and often wait to use one. That said, for the price of the stay, it was worth it.
Location is ideal in the old town and only a 5-min walk to Kranj Globus station and about 10-min walk to Kranj AP station. Staff were super friendly and helpful, allowed me to store my bag when I arrived before check-in, and remembered my name each time they saw me. The wifi in the place worked great. The bed was comfortable and the bed was already made for me, plus a towel was free. The locker keys are also free and the lockers are a really good size, sufficient to storage large luggage. The bathrooms and especially the showers were very clean. There's a kitchen with a large fridge and freezer to store things, a kettle with tea and instant coffee, a hot plate and pans to cook with, a microwave, and plenty of cutlery and plates. There are also plenty of common areas (indoor and outdoor) to hang out in and talk to other travelers. And security is decent--you need a code to enter the property at night. A great deal for the affordable price I paid.

BelarusWould be good to have a table in the room. We haven't had it. And usually in hostels there are free tea/coffee in the kitchen and shampoo in the shower, but here there are not, so would be good to have it also.
Great location and super friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. There is shared kitchen where possible to cook. Also cozy shared that I liked very much. Also there is a mini coffee shop inside where you can order delicious traditional štruklji

CroatiaRoom gets very hot in the morning due to lack of blinds or blackout curtains (sun hits the window very early). Pillow was very thin, not comfortable enough for good night sleep.
Big room, comfortable bed, new bathroom, great location - in the city center, but in a quiet street. Very close to caffe, bakery, town center and parking (hostel is in the pedestrian zone). We liked online check-in and possibility to have double room with bathroom.

SerbiaThe kitchen space could be monitored a bit more frequently, considering not all guests respect hostel etiquette in regards to cleaning up/washing dishes after using them.

UkraineThe only downside is the noise outside the window. Despite the fact that the hostel is located on a narrow street, we heard the sounds of passing mopeds and cars all night. There is a kettle in the room, but this is not enough, I would like to have a refrigerator or at least a shared kitchen. Also be prepared to pay a tourist tax, since the price on the website, as it turned out, was without tax, and we had to pay a little more.
The overall impression of the hostel was positive. The girl at the reception was very kind and answered all our questions. Despite the fact that the bathroom is shared by all rooms, it was quite clean, which is a big plus. The rooms were also clean. It is also possible to wash clothes for an additional fee.

United KingdomThe only thing I can think of is that it was a surprise the hostel is completely closed if you arrive before check-in time, so if you're planning to arrive early and leave your bag you should discuss this with staff or call!
Wonderful modern hostel in the centre of Kranj which is a lovely little town as well. Great value for money, so much better than what I've experienced in Ljubljana. The hangout area has an amazing view and comfiest hanging chairs :) There's a well-equipped kitchen, and rooms/bathrooms are clean and modern too. It shows this place is run with lots of love by the whole family. Will definitely stay again!
