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 StatesIt was very very hot in Zagreb, and the fan in the room did not cool it enough, so we woke feeling a little sick and without enough sleep because of the heat.
The best part is the helpful friendly staff. The room was big and airy, with a comfy bed and the shower was perfect. We liked the common room and free juice!

A beautiful space, great value for money and a good location. The exterior doesn't impress but walk inside and the owners have done a great job. It's welcoming with a kitchen area where tea, coffee and juice is available for guests. It felt like a Guesthouse. Beautifully decorated with attention to detail. Comfortable bed. Spacious rooms with good quality linen and towels. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Very clean, safe, easy walk to the center. Staffs were very friendly and gave us a lot information. We stayed with 2 little kids. We all enjoyed and were happy to stay at Dots hostel. There are two great restaurants 1 minute walk from the hostel which is taste of India(we went twice during our stay) and GOSTIONICA RESTORAN PURGER (great Croatian food). And bakery is a block away from the hostel.

Excellent location at walking distance to city center and railway station. Comfortable room with enough space, bathroom equipped with miniproducts, Personel really nice and helpful. There is a common area when you have access to the kettle and teas selection which is really nice. Excellent price&quality ratio.

FranceThe Dots Hostel exceeded our expectations, be it for the helpfulness of the hostess who was attentive to all our needs and gave us lots of useful info; or the excellent rooms which were adapted for families, quiet, very clean. We really appreciated the spacious lobby and fully equipped kitchen that made us feel at home. The central location was paramount for visiting the city by walking. This is definitely a reliable address.

AustriaPersonally, I think there are limitations with the internet connection inside the rooms. Also tiny bits of mold are visible in the bathroom and shower areas. These however are rather minor issues.
I like the layout of the entire hostel. Each room was based on a city or town in Croatia. The reception and the breakfast lounge had either Christmas decorations or positive message. The host Josipa was friendly and accomodating.

GreeceSometimes in the room the internet had a bad connection but possibly because of the weather! Not in any chance that ruined my stay!
Amazing people, very friendly, very helpful and welcoming!! I arrived earlier than the check in time and even if I didn’t ask for, the room was prepared instantly and I checked in!! The location was great!! Very close to public transportation, (tram lines and the central railway station), yet very close to the central square and the main sightseeing district as well!!! The room was super clean, the lobby area, the breakfast room were super clean! The hostel is as seen on the internet photos!! I would definitely come back!!

Perfect one night stay for a solo traveller. The room is clean and quite which is just like a hotel room. I love the free snacks and drinks, as well as the spacious common kitchen area. The host is very friendly and nice and polite who allows me to check out a bit later, and store my luggage until late night. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Zagreb!

Friendly, accommodating staff. They went out of their way to be helpful. We had scheduled a day trip and they said we could drop our luggage at 8am. When we got there, they had arranged it so that we could check in right away (posted check-in is in the afternoon) and access our room immediately. They also arranged our taxi for the airport. Everything was made easy. The room was bright and cheery and the whole hostel felt clean comfortable.

FranceI didn't notice it was a public bathroom before moving in, actually I kind of minded this. It's actually a cost-effective option if you can accept public bathroom.
My main point is to compliment the hotel staff, our bus was late (I want to complain about flixbus always being late) and the staff were waiting for us. Since our plan for the next day was to go to Plitvice Lakes, we placed our luggage at the hotel and they kept it for us until 6pm to pick up our luggage.
