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 reviewWas fine for one night, handy to have parking. The beds not so comfortable and there was an event near by with music blaring into the morning so we got no sleep. Breakfast was good
Location makes for loud surroundings and little sleep due to it!

Verified reviewCentrally located within Shkodër, this hotel was staffed by supportive personnel who assisted us with any issues or needs. The room was clean, organised and very tidy. Breakfast was nice and the options appealed to both of us. The decor was a lot of fun!

Verified reviewThe location was perfect and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. On the first day we had a very early start and when a member of staff saw us leaving, brought us coffee and cakes even though we had not asked for anything.

Verified reviewPerfectly centric. The room was “gigantic” and by this I mean we could have things all over, open suitcases and have plenty of room. Big bathroom, a really nice medium fridge, closet and aircon. Breakfast was great to start the date. You will be right next to the main pedestrian areas with restaurants and shops but chill.
The ramp from the basement parking proved to be a challenge fore our rental. Steep and curved.

Verified reviewFriendly and helpful owner. They waited for us despite the late hour. The room was clean. The shower has a curtain. Good air conditioning, shower gel, hairdryer, iron... Everything you need. View from the balcony of the city. Good wifi. Good breakfast. We parked in the garage under the hotel. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the main attractions. We drove to the castle by car. You can hear music from the street, but it ends by midnight.
The double bed is a little uncomfortable. When one person moves, the other feels it. Some shelves for cosmetics and an extra towel hanger in the bathroom would be welcome.

Verified reviewThis is an absolute gem of a hotel! What a great find, I can't believe we lucked out. The hotel lobby and courtyard are beautifully decorated, the room we stayed in (family room with balcony) was very large and spotlessly clean. Thank goodness there is free onsite parking because it is hard to find street parking in the area. The location can't be beat--across from a park with a small playground and one block from the beautiful pedestrian street with cafes, shops, and restaurants. The owner was so sweet and helpful. I would stay there again if traveling to Shkoder!
