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.).

BrazilThe toilet was a little narrow, not much space to sit between the shower box and the wall. There's nobody in the hostel during the day, you have to call the owner who is in another building, The owner needs to learn English.
It was meticulously clean. I'm very impressed. It's quite uncommon to see a hostel room that clean. I really liked the opportunity to have a single bed room with private bathroom. It made my trip much more comfortable and joyfully. The owner was quite helpful (when available).

Hostel Havana in Banja Luka proved to be an excellent choice for my stay. The location is unbeatable - perfectly situated in the heart of the city with everything you need within easy walking distance. Getting here was hassle-free, with a convenient route from the airport bus drop-off point. The staff deserve special mention for their outstanding hospitality. They were not only friendly but went above and beyond to help, making the stay much more pleasant. The hostel maintains high cleanliness standards throughout, and I felt completely safe during my entire stay. For travelers prioritizing central location, accessibility, and a welcoming atmosphere, Hostel Havana is an excellent choice in Banja Luka. The combination of helpful staff, cleanliness, and prime location makes it a great value for both short and longer stays.

SingaporeThe hostel location is convenient. The airport bus stop is only 10 minutes walk from here. Just walk straight all the way until u see the hostel sign. The entrance is bit confusing but is just at the side of the cafe. It is not under the hostel sign. Even the owner do not speak well english but she tried and explain everything. The room is very clean.and new. The room is facing the street so it will be some noise. No problem is just one or two days exploring Banja Luka.

LithuaniaAbsolutely great facility for such a low cost! Separate bedroom and small bathroom with shower. Very clean! There is an air conditioner in the room so that you don't melt in summer :) If you go from the airport by bus, the hostel is on walking distance from the stop in the city center. And it's in ~30min on foot from the new bus station. There is a grocery store on the other side of the street. Although the host lady didn't speak English much, she did her best to help and answer all the questions :) Definitely will stay here again if go to Banja Luka! Thanks for your hospitality!

GermanyThe hostel is centrally located, you can walk into the city center within a few minutes. The lady at the reception was very friendly. The room was small but clean, it had a double bed, a small closet, a TV and a bathroom. As I came by car, the car park directly behind the hostel was very practical.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThe room is next to busy street, the first night was very noisy as there was some music event going on even I closed the windows completely. I would also like to have a small fridge that I can put my food and drinks in. A common kitchen would also be wonderful but not a must.
The location is good. The single room with bathroom is clean and comfortable. Air conditioning is very useful for hot summer days. The host is friendly even she couldn’t speak much English.
