Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

AustriaThere are only 2 toilets and 2 showers, luckily the hostel wasn't that full, but I can imaging this causing some waiting times in the morning when all 16 beds are booked.
There is a sign in the common room that says "Where guests are treated like friends" and the owner, Igor, really lives by that. There is almost no need to go out as you can stay at the hostel and spend hours talking Igor and the other guests. The location is amazing, directly on the main pedestrian street (with a balcony perfectly for people-watching on a lazy afternoon - there is always something going on down there) and the beds are really comfy and with a nice privacy curtain.

MaltaNothing not to like. Just please note that this hostel does not have a full kitchen for cooking facilities but has a kettle and refrigerator. Anyway, it is surrounded by cheap eating places.
You are greeted so nicely by Igor here, immediately giving that homely vibe. Igor is so well informed about Bosnia Hercegovina and is always present at the hostel ready to help you. The location is superb, only two steps away from eternal flame, 5 minutes pleasurable walk from old town and 30 minutes walk from train station. Very clean hostel and Hun, the volunteer was such great company. Really great experience and really enjoyed my stay here.

JapanNothing, but I needed some practice to open the entrance door because the key was old style.
The owner Igor was very friendly and we could enjoy local liqueur together. Curtain was provided for each bed. I could borrow a hair dryer. Everything was kept clean in the hostel though exterior of the building seemed old. Hostel owner may be Igor's calling.

It was absolutely the best hostel experience. There's no need to describe what they have In the hostel (good luck trying to find anything they don't have). Everything has already been said multiple times in the reviews by other guests. I will just use this opportunity to thank the squad once again. Many thanks to Igor, Khan (I hope I wrote it correctly, otherwise pls don't kill me Ninja😏) and Denis. Unbelievably awesome guys.

GermanyThis was by far the most amazing hostel experience that I've ever had! The hostel is located directly in the Center of Sarajevo, the mattresses are probably better than mine at home. But this was not the main reason why I've enjoyed my stay there so much. The main reason is the owner of the hostel IGOR. He lives with the guests in the hostel and shares his life, knowledge and stories with the guests. That's what makes it so special and very comfortable. There is no kitchen, but Igor knows all the good places to eat well and cheaply. Thus I could experience the Bosnian kitchen thoroughly. If you see this Igor: Thank you soooo much!!!🫶 see you soon!

TurkeyActually i didn't needed that time but you can't cook in this hostel. There is no kitchen for you. Only the little things like coffe or sometings.Let me warn you about the sound. Sometimes when people get together and chat, it can be a loud environment. If you want to go to bed early, you can consider this. In addition, this is my word to the Turks; Do not bargain with Igor😅. If you want to bargain, you can bargain with Denis at kucha hostel. He is a very kind person will help you.😉😂
Igor's hospitality was very good.Thank you again, Igor. I felt like at home. Hostel's location was very good. Street view was also very good. For those who are a solo traveler, almost everything they need is considered. That's why I'm saying it's not the best but a pretty good place hostel.

GermanyBest Hostel stay I ever had. The owner (Mister Igor) is a very cool person. If you need help, guidance or a piece of wisdom he will be there for you. I have to mention the beds too: Sleeping in them feels like slowly sinking into the most comfortable cloud of warmth and cosiness. (They are really good) The location of the hostel couldn’t be any better. If you are ever lucky enough to visit Sarajevo, The Good Place Hostel is more than a Good Place to stay at - it’s the best!

The location is excellent. The windows off the reception give a full view of the busy pedestrian street below. The post office is across the street and it’s also close to stores and restaurants. The owner, Igor, is an amazing source of information and is open-minded and willing to go above and beyond to make guests comfortable.

United StatesThe entryway, at first, can be confusing. But, after going thru it once (twice for some) all is well. Everything else was A+
You will arrive as a guest, but leave as a friend. Igor was one of the better hosts I've encountered in 80+ countries of traveling. Thanks for making our stay in Sarajevo a memorable one. The 4 day/nights wouldnt have been as fun without his educated suggestions based on LISTENING to our aspirations. *dont miss the bobsled track atop the ski lifts* Fun common area, clean facilities, wonderful shower. Really, and I mean really comfortable dorm beds! Without hesitation would stay here again—even though there's some cheaper options I felt the value received was well worth a couple dollars more per night. Location walkable to everything including airport bus 🚍
