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 reviewEasily one of the best hostels I've stayed in! Sinan and his family have put so much work into creating a beautiful, welcoming home for people and it shows in every way. They make sure that every person who stays feels like both friend and family. The beds are comfortable with curtains and the softest sheets, and the whole place is incredibly clean. It's in such a central location and the rooftop terrace also offers such a beautiful view and a great place to watch the sunset. I ended up staying an extra night and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Verified reviewI’ve stayed in plenty of hostels but this one’s on the short list for the best ever. The owner/host sets the tone by being incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. That rubs off on the guests so you immediately connect with people. Awesome rooftop terrace is the perfect hanging out space; great for watching sunsets and listening to the amazing blend of muezzin from competing nearby mosques. Short (but steep) walk up to the ruined castle. The host will steer you to good, cheap eats and he seems to enjoy hanging out with the guests and sometimes handing out beers…
No complaints whatsoever. I can’t imagine a better experience — and very cheap, to boot…

Verified reviewThe host and his family are very nice people, always there to help or just have a little chat. You can enjoy stunning view from the rooftop terrace. You can see most of the centre and beautiful sunsets from there. In conclusion - budget friendly warm place with very nice people in it. Can't wait to come back.

Verified reviewThe host is very kind and welcoming, and the hostel is clean and comfortable. It’s a good choice if you are looking for a simple, friendly place to stay in Prizren.
The hostel has just recently opened, so the host still doesn’t know much about traditional restaurants or local activities like tours, via ferrata, or equipment rental. He doesn’t yet have strong connections with the community, which makes it harder to get local recommendations. Prizren itself has a lot of potential, but tourism here is still developing.
Dear guest, we've told you about all the local restaurants and the most affordable places. Just as we share the touristy parts of the city with all our guests, we've also informed you about them. We're doing everything we can to make all our guests feel at home here. We're in the best location and we strive to provide the best possible service, so we don't think we've received a fair assessment from you regarding our rating. Regards

Verified reviewThis is a very nice hostel, brand new. I enjoyed my stay so much. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Gave me tea and lemonade when I arrived, and when I sad on the terrace in the evening he also came with tea and biscuits. A lovely atmosphare. The terrace upstairs have great views over the old town and perfect for sunset. Good dorms with curtains and clean toilets.

Verified reviewThis new hostel is run by an incredibly hospitable family, with Sinan in the forefront. They welcome everybody with huge smiles & warm hearts, which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The accommodation is in one of the best locations in the old city, quiet, spotlessly clean & with bottomless cups of tea (which will always win me over)!
Nothing, really. When I was there, the weather was particularly hot, but we had a fan in the room & a/c in the common area, which helped a lot.

Verified reviewThe hostel is nestled on a quiet street just a short walk from the old town. The rooftop terrace has a breathtaking view of the mosque and mountain backdrop. The hostel environment envelopes you with friendliness and Turkish hospitality. It’s run by a passionate backpacker and his darling family. They have lots of local recommendations to experience the city as a local. It is so clean and welcoming with endless cups of chai. Can’t recommend it enough!

Verified reviewSinan and his father Mehmet have just opened Hattusa Hostel. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hostel has an outstanding location, the view from the terrace high over the mosque and town one could gaze at forever. Highly recommended.
There was a slight mix up with a double booking, but Sinan went to extra lengths to quickly sort it out, demonstrating again his desire to provide a great service.

Verified reviewOverall great place with super nice staff. There is kitchen with a stove which wasn't clear from the listing.
The biggest issue was lower bunk beds were not tall enough so not very comfortable and couldn't sit up in bed.
