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 reviewAlko Hotel was the best accomodation we were during our Balkan motorbike tour. I can mention only positive points: the safe parking lot for motorbikes with a security guard; the ladies at the front desk were extremely kind, helpful and nice. The hotel is very high quality, with modern, clean, well equipped and comfortable rooms. We found everything we needed in the minibar. The city center is a few minutes walk away. Breakfast was No 1! Thank you very much, I am sure we'll return again! :)

Verified reviewThe location was very convenient, a few minutes away from the main central part of the city. The parking facilities were also good. The room.itself was fine, quite spacious. Breakfast was good in the neighbouring building.
The hairdryer was broken in our room.

Verified reviewThe location was kinda in the city center(5 minutes walking). The room was pretty comfortable. The value for money was good compared to European standard but I think we would find something better.
The fan wasn’t working, just making drill sounds. Most of the staff wasn’t speaking English and the receptionist wasn’t at the reception most of the time, but at least she spoke English and was polite. She made us promise for early breakfast because of a morning trip, but when we came there was nothing prepared. They offered us making of some food but we didn’t have time for it-that’s why we just wanted to have it prepared in the first place. Our first breakfast was super cold and the waitress just brought us water and didn’t ask for anything. For the third breakfast we didn’t expect anything better(ofc because one wasn’t even hot and the for the second we didn’t get anything) but they surprisingly asked if we wanted coffee and the food was at least hot.. which didn’t help the disgusting sausage. This breakfast wasn’t what I would expect from 4* hotel, there was nothing to choose from when you don’t like eggs and tomatoes like me and ofc dont enjoy old rubber type of sausage…

Verified reviewThe hotel was very good, big and comfortable bed and personal very nice. Breakfast was good too.
We booked the bus-ferry-bus to koman lake and then Valbona. The driver came in the morning, we mentioned several times that we were going to koman lake and not Theth but he wouldn’t listen. Even the tickets mentioned the lake. Finally he said ok for the lake… One hour later, in the middle of the way, he received a call and he started asking again where we we going, we kept saying koman lake. He turned around and went back to the hotel with no explantion. Apparently there were 2 guys waiting for him to go to Theth… so he left us there, outside the hotel, with no solution or anything, he took the other 2 persons and left. We entered in the hotel and at the reception they were not even aware of all this. The gave us the money back, but no other solution to bring us the the lake that day. We lost our trip to Valbona, everything that was already booked over there, we couldn’t make the trecking as the rest of the week was already organized and we couldn’t loose one more day .

Verified reviewLocated centrally. Walking distance to and from buses to Theth and Valbona. Rooms a good size. Reception staff very helpful.
Located above a pool hall so very noisy until quite late. We had to leave window open as there was no Airconditioning in the room - might have been ok with window closed
