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 reviewLocated in central Shkoder, in a very easy place to get to buses and restaurants. The layout of the building allows for very social stays depending on the guests, or a very quiet and calm stay also. The host was very helpful with everything we needed

Verified reviewQuiet, big yard, really useful parking spot Lack of things in the kitchen such as cutlery (only plastic spoon) and chairs in the dining room Broken shower door and lack of toilet paper
change the annoucement of 3 beds to add "shared" since it's a shared dorm not private. Talk to the owner to settle this and found an adjusment.

Verified reviewGreat location, rooms are spacious and clean, was helped with parking, communication was via message and replys came quite quickly I also was kindly helped concerning a parking ticket i got (not in front if the hostel but earlier in town, no worries there) and given great recommandations for food etc
I didnt know i had to contact them for arrival, and waited a little bit (to be fair, i was there quite early). Once we established communication, it was very swift and uncomplicated though :)

Verified reviewQuiet hostel with a nice outdoor area. We were just two people staying there, so there’s not much of a social vibe, but that was perfectly fine with me. The double bed was really comfortable with good pillows. Air condition worked well. In general a good stay and the hostel has great potential if some minor things are improved.
Kitchen is lacking in equipment. There is a pot and a small pan, but no proper knifes, cutting boards or other utensils to cook. The shower upstairs doesn’t get warm and the shower downstairs has water flowing all over the bathroom. There are no hooks to hang clothes on neither in the bathroom or bedroom. I was confused by the booking site, thinking the three-bed room would be a private room, but it is in fact a dorm. I realized this before staying and changed my booking to a private room. Just wanted to clarify this to others who might be confused about the same.

Verified reviewVery nice host, who was available when needed and he also provided some recommendations for things to do and where to eat. The room was very clean. Even though, the room could not be locked, lockers with a set of keys are available inside the rooms which are big enough to fit in a big tracking backpack.
The shower door was broken so water would go outside into the rest of the bathroom. Hardly any cuttlery was in the kitchen; the plastic spoons bend easily.

Verified reviewIt was a quiet hideaway right in the middle of a lively bustling community with everything you needed close at hand; bakery, markets, cafes etc. The centre of the city with wonderful nightlife was walking distance away. The hosts were very helpful with local information about where to go and what to do...it was a family affair and they wanted you to enjoy their town. We loved exploring the local spots and seeing life unfold in the close-knit community. Thanks for your hospitality. Chris and Wayne from New Zealand
