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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Unfortunately the common room had no windows. neighborhood is quite boring and not really a place to relax except for your bedroom.
David, the host, was an exceptional nice and helpful man who was always interest what you are about to do and was willing to help. It was close to the busstation where you can go to any part of Georgia. Good facilities and the especially the kitchen was very practical and clean. Everything was very clean.

I really enjoyed my stay in Mandaria. The owner David went above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need and made me feel very safe. The apartment provided me with all necessities, I liked the fact that it was outside of the actual hostel area. Location is great with a lot of options to dine and shop.

We spent here one nigh in a apartment with kitchen and washing machine and I know we will back. Place is located 1 km from the bus station, what is nice if you want to ride somewhere. Apartment is clean, inside is warm, double bed is really comfortable. In this object is also sharing space - kitchen and tables. The owner is friendly and caring about their guests. He offers also trips and other facilities. It was our sixth times in Sakartvelo and this place was one of best when we stopped. I recommend this place :)

We were visiting Georgia for 3 days, spending most of our time outside the place. The room was clean, big and, what's important considering our stay took place in November, warm. The bathroom was really cosy and nice. Also the host, David is a very helpful person that you can count on. The place is close to Youth Park, a lot of grocery stores and exchange places. Also not so far from the bus station to Batumi and Tbilisi. Bolt is also really cheap in Georgia, so it's really easy to get to the city centre and to the airport any time during the day and night. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who looks for the comfortable and affordable place in Kutaisi.

Hostel seems to have guests rotating quickly in and out not staying more than 1-2 nights. Bat flew in hostel, but was taken care of by manager.
Nice facilities with big common area and well supplied kitchen. Staff was nice and responsive. Close to bus station.

I asked the staff to print my boarding pass (as required by the airport and mentioned in the airline app) since they offer printing for a small fee, but the guy told me that’s not true and I don‘t need it. I don‘t know if he was just too lazy to turn on the computer, but I do know that he was wrong, as I had to stand in line at the airport for an additional 30 minutes.
ok location, food close-by, parking on the street, well-equipped kitchen, several bathrooms and showers
