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 dorms were very nice and it was a good price
It was not super clean. Also the car that is advertised is not available, there is only a more expensive car available, but I found the communication for not not smooth, so I did not end up renting it. Furthermore, most days there was nobody at the hostel, kind of lonely.

Verified reviewThe rooms were well equipped and clean. The beds had curtains and little installations so that everyone had a socket next to their bed. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. he went beyond expectations and showed us real Slovak Hospitality. Would definitely recommend staying there!!!

Verified reviewMy stay was without breakfast. The place of residence was not important to me. The rooms were clean. I was alone in the apartment - perfect :)
The electric kettle did not work. The name of the wifi network wasn't correct, that's why I couldn't access the internet.

Verified review+ self-checkin possible during day + kitchen bar + reconsturcted facilites + price + good for short stay
- during the night check-in, somebody has to open you the main door to the building - 6 beds in one room is quite tight

Verified reviewAn apartment in a block of flats turned into a hostel with 2 rooms with many beds, a kitchen and a large meeting room with balcony. Everything is new and well thought of. The host is available online. There are some snacks to buy too. The hostel is close to the highway with free parking. But also very near the city centre with supermarkets and spas.
There is only one toilet and one bathroom. This may be tricky when the hostel is full.

Verified reviewIt was my first stay and it was quite OK. Turčianske Teplice was really nice spa town, not anymore. It looks like the whole country is slowly destroyed by greed and evil. I am pretty serious about this. People are dissapearing like in some south american dictatorship country and almost everybody is doing nothingh. It somethingh similar to nazi stay on Channel islands in WW2. So if you like fascism, evil worshipping, kidnapping of innocent people and general hatred you should definitely go for holliday stay in Slovakia and to be honest in neighbouring countries is the same or even much worse ...
Total luck of honesty and I should read warning about stealing sensible information about my private pension , but this happened on my next stay and I will even tell you about fighting attack by medium sized giant squid in hostel bed. It is truth!
Hello Mr. Kret Thank you for your review of your 14 days long stay, which is mainly based on a giant squid attack in your dreams and about the sociaetal degradation in general, not about our Hostel at all. Thank you very much that you are trying to destroy a image of a accomodation, wich we build just by ourselves with love and a hope that we are doing something beneficial to the society. And you, as a gift are letting us reviews like this about your perspective of the world, which dosn't have anything to do with our hostel. Karma might this hate which you spread, give you back one day. Have a nice day !

Verified reviewI liked the bed and bathroom a lot. You can feel yourself in your home. Everything looks like quality. And when you call the owner, he turns you in a sec.
I cannot say anything I dont like. May be toilet is a little bit small, but okay.

Verified reviewThis hostel is a blessing in an otherwise pricey city. It's conveniently located just around the corner from the bus station and 15 minutes to the train station. Rooms are small, and there's just one bathroom and shower, but this wasn't a problem during my stay, and there are nice, thick curtains in the dorm for privacy. At this price, it's a great deal. The host was friendly and informative. He gave me great hiking tips for the national forest and local bus transport.
