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.).

United StatesPerfect stay for good vibes, nature, and delicious food. I came to recover from getting sick and left in great health and this was the perfect place to be. Really nice staff, volunteers, and guests. Vegetarian food is delicious. I am missing the food already. And they sell kombucha. Nice location and not far from pretty nature spots.

BelgiumThere were a lot of spiderwebs and spiders in our room. We liked the social aspect but might not be for everyone.
Very nice atmosphere and incredible people! A lot of cozy places to sit. Surrounded by nature. The food was really really good, both diner and breakfast, different everyday. Option for individual rooms with very beautiful interior. Very social. 😁

GeorgiaStaying at Karma was a great experience. It's the perfect place for anyone eager to connect with fellow travelers from every corner of the world. The atmosphere is vibrant, Staff is very welcoming. I stayed in the dorms, and despite being fully booked, the environment was peaceful. Everyone was considerate, making sure the nights were quiet, and the space was always clean. Highly recommended. Love, Lika

BrazilThis is place is amazing! The rooms are big and confortable. They have homemade breakfast and dinner and the food is just perfect! It is a feast, it worth it. But if it is too pricy for your budget, you can use the smll communal kitchen. Emma and all the staff were very welcoming and kind. You can get along, have some beers and wine with everyone, or just lay on an hammok on your own and chill. Enjoy the dog and cats, the breeze and the peace. The location is a bit far from the city center, but you can always hitch hike or get an minivan. If you have a car, then it is perfect.

GermanyThis hostel is a true oasis, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home from the moment they arrive. The space is designed to make you feel comfortable and authentic, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Within seconds of stepping in, you’re embraced by a friendly, familial environment where you can truly be yourself and connect with others. It's a place where relaxation and genuine connection are effortlessly woven together, creating a memorable and uplifting experience. In addition to this, the vegetarian feast they’re offering on a daily basis is absolutely magnificent and tasty. I have been there several times by now and sure thing I’ll be back rather sooner than later.

GermanyThe dorm is very big so if you are a light sleeper, make sure to bring ear plugs. If you are looking for the "real Georgian experience" - this is more like a European/Anglo-Saxon "enclave". But for me, after a month in Georgia it was what I needed.
I really enjoyed my stay in this little paradise. It was what I needed at that time. It has kind of a festival vibe - spontaneous day trips to stunning natural places (the canyon! The hot springs!), super delicious vegetarian food in the evenings, an impromtu dance party (ABBA!), just sitting at the table or on the porch and share stories or sing together... lots of friendly people, animals and kids around. Unforgettable. The place has a very nice vibe and was thoughtfully created by its owners. The bunk beds are comfortable, there is lots of space to chill or do some work, the bathroom is clean and has three separate toilets and showers. There is also a small kitchen that you can use if you are on a budget and want to prepare your own food. The area is very peaceful, a little outside of Martvili but within walking distance to a small supermarket. The owners can borrow you a bike for 25 lari, or if you don't mind walking longer distances/hitchhiking, you can reach most places easily.
