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.).

PortugalUnclear on booking that a double bunk bed is not a bunk bed, but rather a couples bed. The girls bathroom had a really bad smell, but the boys’ was ok. There was a cat in the hostel, which was not said before and could be bad because of allergies.
Lockers are huge! Felt very safe, it was quiet and the bed was very comfortable.

SwedenNot as clean as it could have been, and much more of a backpacker vibe than pictures imply (which is to be expected at this price). No AC in private sleeping "box", so there is a trade of between privacy and air quality if using the privacy curtain.
As advertised. Unbeatable location. Fair price for this type of accommodation. Helpful staff. Comfortable bed.

SwedenSome lockers dont work or you might get the wrong key. It would have been good with a bit lower temperature airconditioning though as it may get warm, but this depends on your preferences.
The hostel is good for the budget. There are lockers behind beds which is smart. Bathrooms are moderately clean and they have showegel/shampoo in showers.

IndiaIt pretty much felt like a library with closed cabins in a basement of a 3star hostel. The bathrooms & shower rooms were always super dirty with hair & stinking smells. You pretty much wont even have a chance to socialize or talk with anyone because of the atmosphere.
Location & help from staffs, very quite (but too much).

GermanyThe floor of the common washrooom was constantly wet, so one has to be careful with the flipflops, not to slip. Apart from that there is not much to complain about.
Nice capsule bunk bed concept. Just stayed for one night and it met my expectations. You cannot get a better location that this one. Next to the historic Skopje Bazar and the city centre is like 5-10 minutes by walk.

ChileThe lock in the locker looked very cheap so if somebody wanted to open it, wouldn't be difficult. There was also no door in the room and the reception is for a very big building so they don't check who enter. But even this way, we felt pretty safe. The bathroom smelled of humidity and there was mold in the showers, which was pretty disgusting. Would be good to have a fridge in the common room and some cutlery to prepare simple meals or even breakfast. Still for the price, cant really complain.
Really comfortable mattress and very nice sheets. Enough space for the luggage in the locker. Having a towel included in the price was also very useful. Very good location. Internet worked well and there was a kettle in the common space which was very useful.

IndonesiaBathrooms and showers were okay but I didn’t feel comfortable using them. There was very little security. There were no doors to the female dorm. You just walk into the hall. You could easily smell smoke from the other side of the hallway.
The bed was big and very comfortable. Most of the time it was quiet.

PortugalIt was pretty hard to find the place since the name outside the hostel is not its own. Dorms at underground level (not advisable for claustrofobic people). The female and mix dorms are only separated by a thin piece of material that doesn't actually cover the space of what could be a wall (not a problem for me, but just so you know the rooms are not as separated as one might think). The bunkbeds are organized vertically, which means, to get to your "safebox" you need to pass with all your stuff over your bed... And that box definitely needs some cleaning done... The showers could use a place to hang stuff inside.
The staff was really nice. The place is really central. The beds are very comfortable and there's almost no external light inside the bed (which for me was perfect).

SpainThe common areas were not clean at all, there were food scraps on the tables. The bathroom was large, with enough showers and toilets but always full of water from the shower. The hostel on the outside has another name (De Koka hotel) and can be difficult to find. Fortunately I went in to ask and I was surprised that this was the hostel. It is in a basement so there is no natural light
The hostel is suitable to spend 1 or 2 nights in Skopje very close to the center and the touristic part of the city. It has a lot of beds, but the space is quite big and the beds have a curtain, so it gives them more privacy. Towels available and locker to store luggage. Super nice and friendly staff, they allowed me to check-in in advance since my bed was available, something that was very appreciated after a whole night traveling. On the other hand, the reception staff also helped me to print my next bus ticket, for which I am very grateful to them.
