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.).

Verified reviewWe experienced true Albanian hospitality at Hotel Aleks! The whole family is so friendly and attentive. They gave us a lot of fresh figs (directly from their garden) as a welcome treat, helped us organising our transport to Valbona and provided free parking and safe luggage storage during our multi-day hike in the mountains. We also enjoyed the free bike rental to explore the city. Impressive cleanliness, exceptional helpfulness. Best hotel of our three-week journey through Albania!

Verified reviewThe owner and family were outstanding - helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations and directions to parking. The room and bathroom were spacious, spotless and had everything we needed. The hotel is easy walking distance to downtown but in a nice quiet area. We loved Shkoder and will be back. Definitely staying here when we return.
Nothing not to like

Verified reviewHotel Aleks was a great place to stay for a few days. I used it as a base to be able to explore the north of Albania. The hotel was easy to find, down a dead end road so it was quiet. With a gated parking area it felt secure. It was family run and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. It was great to have a small fridge in the room, which was huge. Good wifi and a lovely shower too! It's a little way outside the main streets, but I prefer that as it's quieter.

Verified reviewAbsolutely unforgettable experience at this place. Aleks Hotel in Skhodar is 10/10. The rooms are perfectly clean, spacious, tidy and cozy. The family who’s running to hotel is so hospitable and friendly and helpful. They made sure to made our stay beautiful as possible. We could rent a bike free of charge to tour around the city, had fresh brewed coffee every morning, freshly picked figs from their garden and they organised a tour for us to a Shala River. The location is only a 15 minute walk from the city Center, so it’s central but still a very quiet and cozy. It felt like staying with friends and family. We would highly recommend this place and surely will come back in the future.

Verified reviewThe people running Hotel Aleks were THE best to be found! So very friendly, helpful and professional, with perfect English spoken too. We were able to borrow bikes, meaning we could easily get to the nearby lake to swim. Always available for advice on where to visit, and able to arrange an organised trip to Komani Lake for the day. I'm SO looking forward to returning, hopefully to do some hiking next time.
Just nothing - Hotel Aleks was pretty close to perfect

Verified reviewThe family that runs this hotel is exceptionally warm and helpful. I arrived late at night with terrible weather and they arranged dinner for me. The bikes they offer for free are very nice, it gives you the opportunity to explore the lake and other small towns around. The free coffee in the morning is just a little gift but so nice before starting your day outside. The room and facilities are perfect; all new, clean and everything works. This family will help you with everything you need.
To visit the bars and restaurants you have to walk for just 10 minutes. Not a problem at all, but maybe if you are not able to you should take a taxi.

Verified review"Our stay in this beautiful hotel room was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the manager and his wife, who made our experience even more enjoyable. The amenities were of exceptional quality, with attention to detail that makes all the difference. Comfortable bedding, impeccable cleanliness, and everything we needed for a worry-free stay. Additionally, their invaluable tourist advice allowed us to discover authentic and off-the-beaten-path spots, which truly enhanced our stay. Their care and availability made us feel right at home. We will definitely be back! Thank you for this wonderful experience."
