Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The mattresses are rather used and have a distinct hole in the middle. It could be cleaner, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. Staff was trying their best, but the guy in charge when we were there just isn't born to deal with customers. Closing the door when going for a pee and not getting drunk mid afternoon should be known minimum standards for staff even in the most basic of places....
Ok value for money for a short stay, centrally located, well equipped kitchen

For the attention of other solo female travellers. I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend this property for you after my experience here. If you're with others then it would be a nice place to stay. But I was made to feel quite uncomfortable at times during my stay. Especially when I was the only person staying there. The man who runs the property is quite forceful and doesn't take kindly to you saying "no thank you" when he offers you things. I'm aware it could be him just being hospitable but it might be better for him to accept when someone doesn't want to drink vodka with him, or doesn't want a massage from him rather than getting angry about it. Sorry for the very negative part of my review. The rest of my stay was great. I just wanted to make females aware that you could be made to feel extremely uncomfortable whilst staying there.
The 6 bed dorm was really nice and spacious. It included nice big lockers and a table in the middle. The location of the hostel is great. Just a 10 minute walk from the bus station. The lady who checked me in and the owner of the property both seemed very lovely, although I only saw each of them for a very short time. There is a man who lives at the property and says he runs it for the owners. He took me on a tour of the Lori Region and we saw a lot. It was a shame that at times, it was a little uncomfortable with him (see comments below)

the person in charge there was helpful, but weird He told me I left my door unlocked when I left for the day (turns out the lock doesn't always work) but since the door was closed I don't understand why he would try to get in (and it definitely wasn't to clean the room) The bathroom was not clean (shoe marks and pee stains on the floor) The bed was VERY creaky And the room I got was right above a busy noisy street, but that was nothing compared to the loud noises the residents of the hostel made... Literally standing by my door (which in fairness is adjacent to the entrance) and speaking loudly no matter how early or late it was... The kitchen is cute but very lacking, and plates and utensils were not always clean
The person who received me was very friendly and helpful (the owner's son or son in law)
