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.).

Everything was perfect.
Everything looks brand new and squeaky clean!!! Not in the very center of the city, but just 5 min by bus (there is a bus stop just 30m from hostel), or 20 min on foot. Nice and safe neighbourhood with park, cafes, restaurants, supermarket, bakery etc within 70m radius.

The host was friendly and super helpful. I really liked that it was quiet, probably be cause it isn't in the city centre, but the location is right next to bikes you can use if you download the BicikeLJ app (for only 1€!). Only a 12 min bike ride from the city centre. Super clean too!

Nothing, the hostel is great. Some may prefer to be a little more central, but I walked everywhere and never took a bus, and also felt very safe.
A small hostel, family run with lots of pride. Great on cleanliness, traveller safety, and communication. Extremely professional and friendly. Cosy clean kitchen with additional desk for work/charging. Bedroom spacious and light, not crammed, 2 lockers. Fantastic bathroom.

A bit far from the Ljubljana center, but easily accessible by public transport or shared bikes.
I was in a shared room for 4 people and we were two there. It wasn't very easy to find the hostel entrance, but the instructions worked well in the end.

The decor is a bit bland and IKEA-esque, frustratingly the kitchen seems to have no oven and my bed had no bedside light despite all the others having one. Very quiet when I visited in late September 2022. Went to brush my teeth at half ten at night to find a very dark hallway with all the lights off!
Nice hostel, the rooms were clean and modern. Bathroom and kitchen, personnel friendly. Bus to town leaves right outside the hostel more or less so very convenient.

It is quite the walk to the city center, at least a 30 minute walk, although there is a bus next to the hostel. Even though I enjoyed my stay I thought the price was little bit too expensive for an hostel, but I guess it is what it is during the summer season.
Staff was very nice, room was big and comfortable and everything was super clean. Two lockers and two power outlets per bed was a nice plus. All in all it was a pleasant stay and I would stay again.

Only a minor point. Not having a common seating area (except for the kitchen) gave the hostel a bit of a soulless feel. But what it lacked in soul it more than made up for in functionality!
Spotlessly clean and very well equipped kitchen. Staff friendly and very helpful. The location of the hostel out from tourist area, in a business & residential area, a short bus ride from the centre I see as a positive. It allowed me to get a good feel for the city. Nice local sports bar a few 100m from hostel for a relaxing evening beer.
