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.).

Is not very clean, the room and the shower towels; owners didn’t speak much English and as a result of miscommunication we were late for breakfast and couldn’t take it at 9:40

Verified reviewThe main thing is the view of the lake which is stunning. Quiet location and easy access to the lake for swimming. 10mins from a little town with loads of restaurants.
All of us got food poisoning from the breakfast and we were not the only one as we could hear other people being sick in other rooms. When we mentioned it to the son (only one who can speak English) he replied :" everyone gets sick here "!!!!! No blackout curtains, no mosquito nets, Access road is horrendous and does not look finished for a long time.

Verified reviewGreat location and good size room with amazing balcony views.
Better pillows and we had a bright light outside of our room for the parking in the front of the house that was on all night and the curtains were not thick enough to block it out.

Verified reviewThe view of Shkodra Lake
The bathroom facilities in the room, and bedsheets being dark blue, would have felt more pleasant if the bedsheets had been white.

Verified reviewAmazing view on the lake from the room's balcony and breakfast area. The room was big and airy. The air con worked well. The young man of the family was the only one to speak English but everyone was friendly.
We had booked two rooms with view on the lake, but only one ended up having the full view, the other was on the side of the house. It did have a partial view only. We assume that people checking out earlier claimed it...

Verified reviewThis beautiful small hotel is located on a quiet and not too far from crowded and busy Shkoder on the Skader lake...about 10 km away We had a tiny but comfortable room with a balcony ... the view over the lake and sunset was just amazing. Free parking is a big bonus The lake beach is just across the road but not used. Local restaurants are located on walking distance.
The set breakfast wasn't really my favourite but the coffee was good.
