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.).

BulgariaThe beds could be more comfortable, on the first floor people in the common area could be noisy, but not extensive.
Very central location next to the main street of the city, easy check-in, not so crowded place with clear bathrooms and big enough rooms, nice common room with small terrace, friendly staff and clean towels.

AustraliaBarely slept the first night as I didn’t have a blanket. Absolutely froze. The next morning, I noticed one high up above the lockers under another guests stuff. Also, another guest had the light on until almost midnight, talking loudly on her phone and tapping away at her laptop for hours. When she finally went to bed, she snored like a train all night. Not really the hostels fault, just an inconsiderate guest. Shower over toilet in tiny toilet space. Nowhere to get changed before or after.
Central location, well stocked kitchen with big fridge, large common area, cool decor. Lockers in dorms fit cabin baggage. Good for keeping valuables safe.

CanadaYou have to check-in before 8pm. Beds are creaky and loud: bring earplugs. I didn't have a towel hook. Doors lock from the inside by key, so if you want to leave the room at 3am to piss, you have to fumble in the dark with your keys without waking other people, which is very difficult. Seems like also a fire hazard to lock from inside using keys, no?
Location is perfect, staff is knowledgeable about Varna, and kind, facilities are adequate, price is very fair.

CanadaNo check in after 8pm. Mattress slightly more uncomfortable than other hostels. Wooden beds are creakier so use earplugs. If you lock the door at night but you need to piss at 3am, you have to fumble in the dark to find the right key, and unlock the door painstakingly. Seriously you need a key to leave the room. Seems like a fire hazard.
Location perfect. Staff kind and knowledgeable. Facilities good enough. The place was cool yet orderly, at least in May before the real peak tourist season.

BulgariaI realize most clients in hostels likely smoke or don't care if others do, BUT...some people are allergic to smoking. Smoking was allowed in the stairwell -- which is a common area that everyone uses -- but the hostel is advertised as a "none smoking facility." This is not completely honest. Excepting the balcony, which is technically outside, the corridor/stairwell is inside and if the dorm door is left open (as it sometimes is) the smoke might also travel into a second common dorm area. Solution: advertise that there is smoking aloud in the corridor. Inform people to ensure %100 honesty. =) THANK YOU~!!!
Staff was EXTREMELY accommodating and friendly. The place was conveniently located near the best attractions. Yo Ho was clean, quiet and artistically VERY welcoming. I would recommend this hostel to anyone. I would give the hostel a score of 10 but for one small discrepancy. See below...

United KingdomOnly downside if I am being really picky is I would’ve liked a power socket near the bed but the fact that there wasn’t one didn’t affect my stay.
The staff were genuinely amazing, great guys with great advice. I didn’t research the hostel beforehand but seems to be quite historic and maybe a destination hostel, it’s really quirky, like something from a movie.

PortugalGuests smoke on the stairs, so your clothes will constantly stink. Cleanliness is also a bit of an issue and it lacks facilities, for example, in my bed there was no socket to charge my phone and I don't like to keep my phone out of sight or in someone else's bed while charging. Overall, for an extra 3 or 4€ per night you could find a better hostel.
The location of this hostel is simply perfect and the staff is also very welcoming and kind. For the price they offer, it is difficult to find a better option in central Varna. The showers offer warm water with good pressure. What I like the most about this hotel is probably the decoration when you enter the building, full of posters and art.
