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 reviewVery nice and modern flat in a typical Albanian building in lower Gjirokaster. It is very quiet even though it is not far away from a bigger street. It is tastefully decorated, new and spotlessly clean. We felt at home immediately. The large balcony is a nice goody as you can sit there and relax or watch the bustling neighbourhood. The area is so much nicer than the old and now very touristic Gjirokaster as you get a better glimpse of the normal Albanian life. Then there are supermarkets and great bakerys where you get all you need at reasonable prices. As the kitchen is fully equipped you can cook your own meals. And for the steep walk to the center: we enjoyed it, it is a good exercise and it is quite a short walk of 15 min actually. Finally, Roza and her sister are so friendly and helpful. They even gave us a topper for the beds as some guests said that the mattresses are a bit hard - I can confirm: they are not hard at all and I did not even need the topper. In addition the linen is a dream, like in a 4 star hotel. All in all: this is the perfect flat to explore Gjirokaster!
Absolutely nothing

Verified reviewThe apartment looked even better than in the photos and we really loved staying here! Everything is new, very spacious and super cosy so we felt at home right away. We also really liked the balcony and that the windows were facing a quiet backyard. Very friendly hosts as well!
Everything was perfect! :) - only the mattress was quite hard.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you felt at home. We appreciate your suggestion about the mattress and will take it into consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Verified reviewWe received a video from Rosa so we could easily find the appartement. Rosa is very friendly and easy to communicate with. The appartement is very luxurious, we like this modern design and we enjoyed the balcony. It is on a walking distance to the old downtown.
A coffee machine would be fine. However there are enough cafés in the area to buy a cup of coffee.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall. We appreciate your suggestion about the coffee machine and will take it into consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back.

Verified reviewThis apartment has just been renovated and is excellent in every way. Spacious and spotlessly clean. It is on the third floor but a lift is available. A full kitchen and lounge room feature. The bathroom is ultra modern. Quiet, while still being close to everything. Parking in the streets nearby is easy. Well recommended.
Some signage would help find it but the owner was very helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Gjirokastra Design Apartments. Your kind words are truly appreciated. We’ll do our best to improve the signing in the future.
