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 reviewIf I say that this is the best hostel I've ever been, I won't be wrong. If I say that this is the worst hostel I've ever been, I won't be wrong as well. For sure I'll come back to this hostel one day. Atmosphere of the hostel is amazing, people working there and guests are really cool and there's huge yard in front of the house with lot of hammocks and places to chill. It's like you went to your friend's house and you're having a barbecue in the yard. Design of the walls is really interesting as well. You can camp in the yard as well, which could be even better option. So if you're looking for some good time, this is definitely hostel for you. They also had two puppies while I was there 😊
However, facilities are extremely poor. Other than bed that is pretty clean and comfortable, everything else is disaster. It's not very clean, there's bunch of mosquitoes and house is old. There's no AC. There's one poor bathroom in hostel and few additional (that are better) 200m away. Location is not the best as well. So if you're looking for peace and clean facilities, this is definitely NOT hostel for you. But don't be cry baby and go feel the vibe 😊

Verified reviewVery friendly staff and the place is very chilled. Good if you look for a proper hostel experience. The location is actually okay. It's a bit of a walk but it's a nice and quiet neighborhood
Not the cleanest place on earth but for this price you just get what you pay for. Also it's quite hard to communicate with staff on booking or WhatsApp at times

Verified reviewall was bad, not close to the bare minimum of hygiene, the toilet and shower was very bad and only one to share. The location is in the middle of nowhere very scary path way, as no bus or taxis in the area if you arrive late, I had to walk over 30 minutes to reach and has no local shops or restaurants, the beach is 1:30 minutes by walk. I had seen 🪳 in my bed. The only good thing is the nature view when I woke was nice but hard to make my way back to the station in hot weather.
Everything was terrible

Verified reviewProperty was very unic and peaceful. I felt like home there. Every creature is accepted in namaste hostel. I could be myself there. Gotta get back under those fig trees!
Just one bathroom for all. Perhaps a dry toilet in back garden would make a good invest

Verified reviewWoooooow I didn't know such a place still exist? This is possible only in Montenegro I guess Old building with walls painted inside & outside, around lot of trees with fruits that I was free to take! Ultimate hippie hostel that you are going to find, no doubt.
As house is old have some things to be done and improved but this is part of this experience.

Verified reviewI liked absolutely everything about the place. All fellow-travellers are amazing people, very communicative and kind. I could never think that staying abroad might be so friendly and engrossing. The location reminded me of my native town with its natural simplicity and hospitality. The warmth of this little house away from city's hustle and bustle made me forget about huge stress and emotional burnout. It really help to revive when you stay there. And also to make new friends with whom you may continue travelling. I will definitely return there since it's unique. Mostly because of people, who are easy-going and welcoming. They will never let you stay bored. Secondly, its flora which is full of fruit trees and bushes all around, so you don't have to go shopping for it. It's all there with all vitamins and other nutritious elements for free. In the end, this atmosphere with party mood in the evenings will surely keep you fascinated and happy
Some minor details which can only be noticed when you are very picky about everything. Which exists in any place despite the level of quality. The advantages definitely overweight the drawbacks.

Verified reviewIt's a nice little place, great for getting away from it all if that's what you want. Quite cozy and we had good chats. Great for arriving super late!
Mosquitos! Lots of them. Also the toilet wasn't fixed properly and we had to walk around the street to use a proper working one or risk the one in the hostel. It is also very far from everything. But if that's what you want then so be it.

Verified reviewI liked the beach nearby- although quite a trek. I also liked some of the workers, but could have been more personable.
There was no air conditioning or moskito nets, and with the windows and doors wide open I was eaten alive at night. It was far too hot to sleep…the air felt so thick, but also was v cheap and i liked the idea of the space.

Verified reviewClose to the train and bus station
One bathroom to share for the whole hostel. Very messy rooms with strange people hanging around. It is run by volunteers so i wouldn't expect anything more than a bed. No lockers
