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.).

The bathroom was quite small. The heating is provided only by the air conditioner. The room was warm as long as the AC was on, but the hallway and kitchen were quite chilly in February. The sound insulation is almost non-existent, you can hear everything going on in the hallway. All these drawbacks are consequences of this being a historical building, so if you enjoy the ambience, that's the price to pay.
A nice location in Zemun, near the district with historical buildings, and not far from the bus stop. There are a couple of small grocery shops and many cafes and restaurants nearby. The room was well decorated and had everything necessary. There is a shared kitchen available where you can get tea or coffee or even cook something. The host was extremely helpful and friendly.

nothing that really bothered me. during the stay of 3 days. especially after i got used to radical changes in Belgrade local and international transport, brrr...
A comfortable, clean, calm, relaxed accommodation in the old upper centre of Zemun, 5 min away from the local bus station. It has all the necessary amenities, top wifi, the bed is great, no street noise with the windown looking at the garden. Aircon gives enough warmth in cold months. Not overpretentious so you start feeling very relaxed in it very soon. The place is very calm for a hostel and Alexander is a good host. A shared kitchen. All that at a budget price for Belgrade and Zemun. There are a few eating locations nearby, especially Stara pivnica with excellent Serbian food, and shops and markets inside 5 minutes walking circle. Be back soon.

When people in other rooms were using bathroom, there was really loud noise from the water going through the pipes.
The location is perfect, quiet street next to the centre.

If you ever think to go to Belgrade, this is the property or Apartment I would suggest everyone! The owner is really nice and everything that you need you can talk to him! The bed is very comfortable and you have really much space for one person! When I come next year, this is the apartment I choose!

There was a pretty strong smell of smoke in our room. I didn't really pay attention when booking whether it was a 'smoking allowed' kind of room, but still, the smell was overwhelming.
The accommodation is in a relatively central location (short walk to the main street and Gardosh tower), but it's in a pretty quiet neighborhood. There's street parking all around the property - as long as you can find a spot. The host was really kind and helpful. There's everything you might need in the room, plus a kitchenette.
