How ranking works

This page explains in what order listings appear on Stay in Bosnia, and how promoted listings are marked.

Search results and landing pages

By default, results are sorted as Recommended:

1. Listings that were bumped (moved up) most recently come first. A new listing counts as bumped when it is published.
2. When you search for a word, the listings that match it best come first. A match in the title, the place or the category counts more than one in the description.

You can also sort by Best rated or Newest in the search.

Every listing is checked by us before it appears. Hosts can't pay to change their reviews or ratings.

Promoted listings

Some places on the site are reserved for listings we promote:

• Featured on the home page: a row of featured listings.
• Highlighted: a listing card with a border, in search results and on landing pages. A highlighted card stays in its normal position.
• Bump: the listing moves to the top of the "Recommended" order once, as if it had just been published.

Promoted listings always carry a "Promoted" label. While we start, we choose the promoted listings ourselves and don't charge for them; paid promotion will come later and will be explained here.
