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 room doesn't have a window, it was a bit cold as it is like a basement, and there's only one bathroom.
The staff was super friendly and even provided us with local food on New Year's Eve. They are very nice and helpful!

The bed was not very comfortable and in the rooms there are no windows (is basically a basement). There is only one toilet.
The ladies managing the hostel were very nice and helpful although they didn't speak English. The location is good to move around and close to the metro. The place was clean and the price very reasonable.

It says that the room has air conditioner but it didn’t. There is only at the reception but it’s usually off. It was a little hot in the room during summer.
Everything was clean, comfortable beds and it has a small kitchen with microwave

Nothing really! The place was clean and nice staffs but maybe a small point as the room is at basement floor, I guess.
The staff, ownership and the house maid were very kind to me. I arrived at Tbilisi at 5.15 AM and it was cold in March. I book another hostel before this "Hostel Near The Square" but the host was horrible and didnot want to take me. So, I changed the hostel and book this "Hostel Near The Square" instead at the same date at 6.50 AM and went to check in at 7.00 AM. The host was sleeping but she wake up with her smile and service mind attitude to take me in the building and take my reservation immediately. I booked female dorm for cheap price but in the end, I got the entire dorm to myself because she managed it for me for free without my requested. They were really nice, it was a bit cold in the room because it is the basement floor but in the end I got the heater equipment into my room and the night went great afterward. Thank you so much for your kind and excellent service!

My room had a window only into the hall, which was good from one side (it lets the cold air from A/C to get into the room), but it also was a reason of noise from other people sometimes.
Good location, room was clean. There was a fan inside the room. Wi-fi was also good. Staff is very helpful. Most of them don't know English, but they are happy to help using Google Translate. Also there appeared to be some breakfast inside, while it was not mentioned in the booking.

- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 1 night
Room was very small with 2 bunks (4 bed spaces). I was the only one so it was fine but with 4 it could be crowded. Also there was not a lot of table space to work at. Later I saw one other guy in another room also. These rooms were in the basement, which was ok for me but some people may not like that. If you're looking for a more active place with more people and activity this would not be the best place, it was quiet and peaceful.
I was looking for a clean comfortable place with air conditioning. This worked fine. Easy and friendly check-in, the room was cool and comfortable, and there was a small area with two small table where I could work some. Everything seemed clean, especially the room. It was mostly quiet. Price was fair.

- • Solo traveler

I didn't like that I couldn't stay in Georgia longer!
The staff is extremely kind. They helped me by receiving me at strange hours... sometimes early in the day (at around noon) and sometimes late at night (at around midnight.) They keep their location impeccably clean and I thought all guests were polite and respectful in the "public areas" such as the dining area and the bathrooms. This hostel is not located in the "Old Town" but rather in a district across the Mtkvari River. Hostel Near the Square is easily accessed from the Marjanishvili Metro Station and it is an area where native Georgians live, work, and play. There are supermarkets, bakeries, banks with ATMs, and other establishments very close to the hostel. Being near Marjanishvili station, it is very easy to get to the airport, the main train station, Old Town, etc.

The hostel rooms re in the basement without any windows, there is some ventilation system, but the air was stale and musty. It felt like a prison cell. There were no lockable cabinets, where you could keep your luggage safe. There was only one key for each room (for 4 people). There was no connector in the room, it was only possible to charge my electronics in the corridor (common area). The kitchen was poorly equiped. I only stayed in the hostel for the nights, but it was awful escpecially compared to other Georgian hostels for the same price.
The staff tried to keep the hostel clean, they cleaned the common areas multiple times a day, but it was still somewhat dirty.

Slightly congested windowless basement dormitory. Ventilation issue. Needs to be aired out from above more often. Like a damp humidifier. You can hear everything around you. Especially someone beside you talking in the next room. Lower the cost of stay per night to balance it out. For that price you can get a better deal across the city.
Very clean. Such nice people on staff. They are trying their best. Proficient English-speaking staff. Coffee & tea. Clean sheets & a towel. Adequate location with plenty of shops around. Great refrigerator & kitchen area.

Only the manager speaks some English but he's never there and he isn't any nicer than whoever else anyway. Unwelcoming, no Hello/Thank you/Bye, soulless and unpleasant. Being nice doesn't cost anything. All in the basement, no windows/ventilation/light, only 1 shabby bathroom for all rooms to share. Very rundown area, far from Old Tbilisi.
The bed was comfortable, the room and kitchen were clean and the place is easy to find, 10 minutes walk from the metro station. It's cheap.
