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.).

Minor problems: (1) we had to wait for about half an hour to be checked in, (2) the water pressure in the faucets and the shower wasn't always great, sometimes in the afternoon it was almost a trickle. Besides that, external (but private) bathroom and shared kitchen and refrigerators were what we paid for, so no complaints here, but there were a lot of people using the kitchen so it was somewhat inconvenient. Also, as always, it's really hard to keep your towels and clothes dry in Batumi in August. The guest house does have an open balcony with driers but even with the sunny weather it wasn't always enough.
Extremely cheap for a pretty comfortable stay with only minor drawbacks. The location is not too close to the beach but the road is nice and scenic. The air conditioner worked perfectly which was our top concern.

Construction 🚧🏗️ The area has failing infrastructure and they are continuing to build new hotels. It disrupts the ground and the environment. I met a guy from Azerbaijani and he showed me a video that produces the desire to travel off buildings that look like art, are BIG, and $$$ high end.
Most wonderful family and beautiful location. Must visit to preserve that local homeowners can house guests rather than huge hotels that are much overpriced and dangerous in cases of natural disasters. This hostel was beautiful with a garden and outdoor kitchen. The price was wonderful.

It's located outside Batumi but that is what I wanted. It is peaceful and quiet and still only a few minutes away from all the important places. Very easy to catch the local minibus nr 40 to get around.
When I arrived after a long day of travelling I was upgraded to a better room than initially booked. A beautiful 2 bed room with bathroom and balcony. The room also has a fridge. It was a super nice surprise and gift after a long day. The owners are very helpful and speak English very well. You can ask them anything. They give good recommendations and information. The rain shower is amazing after a day out. The rooms are hotel standard. And if you come in the right season you might be lucky to taste fresh fruits from their garden, so delicious!

A bit tricky climb on Amagleba street to the guesthouse - I choosed the wrong way although I remembered the road)
Great guesthouse! I was happy to return here after 2 years. Such a nostalgia!) Thank you Jamlet for your hospitality! As before I was offered the other room, better than booked, with the bearskin on the wall! The cozy cafe "Veranda" at the seafront was under reconstruction that time but there was another one in a ~0,5 km to the left.

With this review I just want to help other people so that they will not share the same problems upon arrival as I did. We family of 4 called TJ guest house 5 hours prior our arrival to just make sure that rooms that we booked were available upon arrival (rooms I booked two months before, I had confirmation on my booking.com application). Noboday answered us on the phone. But apparently this was just a tip of an iceberg. When we reached property, we have been informed that rooms that we booked were occupied. We have been offered other rooms one at the basemant without TV and conditioner. And other room on the 5th floor of the building without elevator. Elevator or room at the second floor of the building was important because my sister was undergone surgery and could not walk that much. All in all I just wanted to live in the room that I was paying for. We sett 5 hours with a hope that owner was gonna fix problem, but neather owner or stuff was doing anything. Moreover owner left while we were waiting and never came back. After waiting 6 hours, we left. Information on booking.com, about room availability, that is provided by TJ guesthouse is not correct and location is wrong as well, property is at least 800-1000 miters away from beach. Misleading information from TJ guesthouse owners makes booking.com less attractive place to plan a holiday. This kind of disrespectful behavior should me adressed. I hope TJ guesthouse will show some respect to other costumers in future and nobody will ever undergo things that we experienced at this place.
