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...).

There is no elevator on the property so if you book the room on the top floor it is quite a struggle. and the private bathroom is located outside the room. i dont know what to feel about that.
The staffs are really helpful to give you information about the city. and it is located inside the old town so you can wander the old town at night and still near your hotel.

Feels like home. Very clean. One of the best hostels I have stayed in. 1- Kitchen: Comfortable to cook in, the pans are actually usable (Mind-blowing for a hostel, I know). 2- Bathroom: Big, comfortable, clean (but cold in the winter). 3- Bed: Comfortable. Not squeaky. Curtains. Warm. 4- Social space: Warm. 5- Location: At the heart of the old town. 6- Staff: They can make the best christmas tree, also nice and helpful.

-The fact that they close at 10pm, no body has told me before. But the gentleman working there can olen the door whenevr you comeback but still i don't feel comfortable asking someome to do something out of time of service. - there was an awful smell as the cleaning was not done correctly.
The hostel is nice and i can't remember the name of the lady and the gebtleman working there but they were super nice and always with a good smile.

It was the most impressive hostel experience I have had. Staying in the old city was like returning in time, and there is so many cats. The place was perfectly clean and organized. I had curtains on my bed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The hostel is located in the heart of the Old Town. It was clean, tidy. My bus arrived in the middle of the night, and one of the lady stuff went out of her way to help me with an early check-in. I am deeply grateful for her kindness and support! I would definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately, there was no possibility to hang anything up in the room or put anything down, which was rather impractical for drying towels or hanging up a jacket, etc.. There was also only a small wardrobe with two shelves for clothes, but unfortunately the top shelf was unusable as it wasn't properly fixed and kept breaking in.
The staff at the hostel were super friendly and helpful, the location was perfect in the old town and the hostel was clean and the bathrooms were cleaned regularly.

Not really a big deal but it could have been better if there were wall mounts to hang towels.
Conveniently located at the heart of old town Kotor. Facilities were well-maintained and clean.
