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.).

Everything was very good and appropriate. The location is perfect because it is just in the centre. Moreover, managers are friendly. I asked about the registration paper (in case if it was asked on the border) and they provided me with it. Also, using an iron free of charge was available, although many hostel don’t do it. I stayed in a private room that was cozy with a good bed.

RussiaSometimes I had problems with internet, the signal disappeared and it was slow especially in the evening :(
10 out of 10. The hostel is located in the central part of Saraevo, the location is literally superb if you want to go everywhere by foot. There are tons of interesting places around, actually I didn't use public transport at all, and I spent there almost five days. The facilities are great, I booked a mixed room with bathroom inside, and it was really convenient. Water was warm, sheets were clean, free towel, coffee and tea in the common area, and they helped to turn on the heater because it was a little bit cold. And you can leave your bag here, at the reception, in case of early arriving or later check-out, and that's really helpful! The common areas are nice, there are all the things you need. The hostel itself is pretty quiet place, and my roommates were great! I was an only girl in 4-beds room with men, but no one was snoring 😂 And!!! The goddess of the reception, the hottest director of laundry, Svetlana, just made my staying here so much better!!! 😘 Before that I actually was kinda introverted in things like making contacts in hostels, going to bars or something like this, but I spent the greatest time there. She is nice, kind and adorable person. Thanks for take care of me ☺️ And I found some friends there too. I'm really grateful to her and all of them, cuz my staying was awesome because of them :)

ItalyI absolutely loved my stay at Franz Ferdinand Hostel. Traveling solo for a few days, I had the opportunity to meet some incredibly friendly people. The staff, in particular, was great - always ready to assist and create a welcoming atmosphere. They also allowed me to store my bags and enjoy the common areas both before and after check-in/out. The location is perfect, only a few minutes away from the old town. I highly recommend!

GermanyThe staff is super nice. You get a towel and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen also offers the opportunity to cook for yourself. The location of the place is great. It's generally super clean & taken care of but at some corners you see that the hostel is not very new. But totally fine for a few days' stay. ^^
