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 reviewI loved everything about this place. I stayed there for a week, but Volkan was very communicative and made sure I was comfortable there. The owners dedication to ensuring everything is working fine, everything is cleaned, and the guest has everything they need is amazing. He also provide helpful tips of where to go or how to get there. Thank you so much for everything! I had a wonderful time in Budva.

Verified reviewLocation is only less than 10 min walk to the bus station. Around 15min walk to the old town. It also has restaurants and markets around. The room is comfortable enough but i guess it may be too crowded if there were full 8 people. I like that it has AC tho.
I hope there was shower curtain in the bathroom so the floor wasnt wet after someone takes a shower.

Verified reviewLocation is great, you can walk to beach & Old Town. Cafe & restaurants are close by. Host is great, knowledgeable, approachable and very quick to communicate by msg or WhatsApp. Bed comfortable, working air-conditioning, small but usable kitchen. Power outlet by bunk. Little outdoor area to hang out. Very close (10 min walk) to bus station.
No privacy curtains, no lock on bathroom door. No power outlet by top bunk so have a long cord to reach lower bunk one. Bathroom is small and shower water goes everywhere, floor is always wet. Hostel is on a busy road so can be a little noisy, bring earplugs.

Verified reviewThe location is nice because there is a good supermarket close by
The private bathroom doesn’t lock, so you can’t use comfortably because you need to keep attention if someone is not trying to enter. The bathroom outside the bedroom was completely dirty all the times that I had to use it. The staff was nice with me, but I had to wait someone to appear after some time when I arrived because the reception is just a table in the kitchen and there wasn’t someone there

Verified reviewI stayed at this hostel and had a wonderful, relaxing experience. What stood out the most was the Turkish guy who runs the place—polite, helpful, and truly elegant in how he treats guests. Always smiling and ready to assist with anything I needed. The hostel was very clean and quiet, with a perfect location in the heart of the city—close to everything. I especially loved the courtyard; it was cozy, well-kept, and gave a warm, homely vibe. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a simple yet peaceful place to stay.
The bathroom in my room could have been cleaner, and there was a slight odor in some shared facilities — but nothing major. Overall, still a pleasant stay.

Verified reviewThe owner is an incredible human being, very humble, and willing to help anytime! I am very picky rating places, but this place was great. The good vibes who transmit the owner to the people make the difference! The location is very good, very close to the beach, restaurants and stores. The environment and guests were also great. I will definitely recommend this hostel to everyone. Not every day you find places and people like this. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY!
Thank you for everything 🙂
