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 AC was positioned right over my bed, so it was rather chilly for most of the night.

Me and my mom arrived around 8pm and there were left 2 beds only on the top (of a bunk bed), it was also too hot inside, a bit better at night but still - open windows even though there was a conditioner on.
Close to the city center, clean and comfortable. We paid around 30 euros for a person per night(9 people in the room) - it was the cheapest option for Zadar, but still expensive for a hostel.

The space for leisure/ common room was really tiny, so were the sleeping rooms
It was very close to the city centre and the stuff was very nice to allow me to leave my bag and to take a shower before the check in time. Toilet and shower facilities were very comfortable and clean.

The hostel entrance is shared and the main hall feels a bit dodgy, with visible graffiti and signs of vandalism. However, once inside, it does the job.

The two hospitalarios managing the hostel on my second night need to think about how their behaviour is seen by guests.
Accommodation was good. Hospitaliaro on the first night was very welcoming. For the location was good being situated opposite a small part and not far from a shopping centre

There is only 1 bathroom, which can lead to a bit of a traffic jam. It’s manageable, but you need to change your clothes in your room.

They very kindly offered me a late check in, however the instructions were a bit confusing. I arrived late at night and was poking around other peoples letter boxes, and couldn't see the sign for the property over the door. It's like an aparment inside an apartment block. In the end, i pushed open the only door i could find with a light on. Instructions should say 'go inside building front door, our mailbox is inside on the right, there is a light switch located xxx if you arrive in the dark. our door is xx''.
The room was nice, and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The lady on reception was so kind and helpful.
