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 reviewIt is located in the main square of the city and has a very cheap price. Unbelievable.

Verified reviewThe place is clean and the staff are friendly. That's why I am not rating it completely negatively
The 6-person dorm is basically a walkthrough. You have no privacy whatsoever. There are people walking around the room in the middle of the night, turning the light on and talking loudly. There is nothing you can do about it. Moreover, although it's centrally located it's above a night club (or whatever that is) and the music plays really loudly, stops at about midnight. Overall it's not miserable but I wouldn't stay there again

Verified reviewThe location and the cost.
All the rest was disappointing. When we arrived, they told us the place was full and moved us to another location, where the hostel was awful.

Verified reviewThe location is 10/10 and it's relatively clean.
Kitchen lacked stuff to actually cook with (pots, pans, etc.) and had no table to sit down at. Payment was challenging and pricing inconsistent. My shoes got moved to a closet outside of the hostel that I wasn't told about, and no staff in the building for me to ask - I would have lost them had a guest not helped me out.

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly and helpful
Not recommended at all. The flat is extremely small and overcrowded with bunk beds. There's only one toilet, which was highly inconvenient. Additionally, there isn't a single chair or table available, making it very uncomfortable

Verified reviewI really liked the manager. He was really helpful. There's no parking there, so he actually drove with us to show us where we can park and just showed us around the squere where the hostels are located.
When we got there, we were told that it was all booked but that they have another location, literally 2/3min away and although it had all the necessities, it was basically a unfinished project type of situation. Also, there were 2 rooms and would've appreciated if they were separated into Man and Women and not mixed(even though the guys in the room were really respectful and polite). It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best either.

Verified reviewThe hostel that I had booked was overbooked and they sent me at another building that wasn't working as a hostel yet. The first day there was not even an employee when I arrived and nobody was answering my messages that I had sent through booking. When the employee arrived, he wanted to eat firstly and then to check me in. The card payments weren't accepted while it was written that they are.plus it was dirty and there was no air-conditioning.

Verified reviewThe only advantage is that it is very close to the center. Price performance is good, don't expect too much.
The room and the areas used were not very clean.

Verified reviewGreat position and price, the guy dealing with the guests and reservations is nice. Lockers and safe.
Not sure what's going on with Kosovo and Turkey, but on my 3rd stay in Kosovo on 3 different hostels, all of them were presumably managed by Turkish people and guests were almost all Turkish. Nothing against them, but be aware it might be hard to strike up a convo if you like to do such stuff when travelling solo in hostels...also the common area is minimal (small kitchen communicating with a room). Towels have one euro fee. Bathroom seemed clean enough but running out of paper.

Verified reviewWhen I arrived at the address, and contacted the owner for directions, they sent me message that they are full and won't accept me. I said that I have reservation, but they stopped communication.
