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):
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.
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.).

The place was tiny, but had everything we needed. The location was good - short walk to the bus station and city center. The host responded quickly and tried his best to accommodate us well, sharing information we asked for.

United KingdomThe owner was responsive to messages and call. He met us at the time of check in. The apartment was super clean and tidy. Though room was not so big but loved how room was arranged. It is over 5mins walk from bus station to apartment. The owner let us keep our belongings in the room even after the check out time while we visited the castle. Also helped us with bus enquiries to our next destination. The apartment is located on ground floor closer to road so some noises from outside, though it is not main road hardly any noise at late night but for those with light sleep it might be a problem. We slept without any disturbances and it was very comfortable stay for us.

AustraliaWater on the bathroom floor from the shower as happens at so many places. There is a mop and broom outside which is helpful.
The room was cosy, comfortable, an easy walk from the bus stop, the Old Town and castle (although these last two are both uphill and quite challenging on foot). They very nicely gave me an electric kettle upon my request. And breakfast was delicious at a cute little table outside the door. One whole day it rained heavily while I was there and had to remain inside nice and snug.

HungaryDue to the apartment's location it's a bit dark inside, but I think that this is an advantage in the summer months, when it's too sunny and too hot outside.
Ideal place for few days, equipped with everything that we needed - incl. a washing machine. Though it's located a bit far away from the historical center, but not too far away and this way one can get to know the other areas of the town. There are grocery shops, pastry shops, restaurants close to the apartment. The host was very friendly and checking in was easy, too.

Lovely new apartment, well furnished and very comfortable. We received a wonderful welcome and enjoyed our stay in Gjirokastër. The walk up into the old town was fine, 15 mins and quite scenic. Finding the apartment and parking was easy. There is a great bakery close by and lady down the road makes a mean ‘Freddo Cappuccino”

PolandMind that this apartment has common bedroom + living room space, not separate rooms as described in the offer. Nice place for a short stay in Gjirokaster, no parking problems so if you have a car you can stay outside of the crowded tourist area. Very comfortable beds, all amenities worked and the host was very nice :)

UkraineThere’s a stovetop, but if you’re into cooking - it’s complicated due to bad kitchen ventilation.
Very nice and friendly family, they offer a good breakfast and tasty compliments, excellent communication Good location - 5 minutes from bus station and 15-20 minutes from the castle Big and nice room, very comfortable bed, a/c, big and comfortable bathroom, Netflix. Kitchen is good to make any salads, sandwiches. There’s a fridge, kettle, sharp knife, olive oil, salt. Everything is clean. You can see mountains from the window. As a bonus, host family has a super cute, smart and friendly cat, which never disturbs you, but always is willing to play ;)

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing!
An absolute 5 star property! Tan and is family were excellent hosts - warm, welcoming, proactive and unobtrusive. The room is so well fitted out - decor was subtle and tasteful; the kitchen was surprisingly very well equipped for a studio, and the little things like the candles were an excellent addition. Breakfast was delightful, flavoursome and plenty - clearly prepared with love. Located just a short way up the cobbled streets with the option of parking, it’s a great option for those not keen on driving further up to the very windy roads of the old town.

This is a great little apartment for one or a two night stay. Apartment was really clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was all homemade and plentiful. Walking distance to see the sights of Gjirokaster and where the buses pick up and drop off. Yes you do have to walk up the big hill to the Old Town and Castle but it really is not that bad. Owners were lovely and friendly, even if they didn't speak little or no English. Highly recommend this apartment.
