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 reviewWe arrived in the evening at Artists Guesthouse from Tirana Airport. Tim & Tina immediately make you feel at home. We were welcomed as if we were new members of the family. Breakfast was amazing. Fresh food, generous portions, and above all, incredibly tasty. The drinks (also raki ;) and food you get offered are traditional Albanian. Tim & Tina also gave us tips on what to do in the area and even helped us rent a car for the day. We 100% recommend this place!

Verified reviewRina together with her husband were very welcoming and friendly, they made sure we had everything we need. We could relax on the terrace, breakfast was nice, and beds were comfortable. They also have a very cute and friendly dog and cat.
The room was too small for three people, the shower in the bathroom didn’t work properly. Although we kept our windows closed, we could still hear the street noise.

Verified reviewTina and Tim were incredibly warm and welcoming! Their friendly dog and cat helped greet us! Parking was easy in the spot in front of their gate. They offered us homemade raki upon arrival, a truly authentic and generous gesture. The room was very comfortable and nice and cool when we arrived. The view from the terrace was gorgeous and I wish we had had more time to sit there and enjoy it! Their dinner recommendation was also on point. The best was the fresh made breakfast in the morning in their front garden! So delicious!!

Verified reviewWe felt very comfortable and at home with Rina, her family and pets. It was the perfect stay for us to rest up before leaving for the Theth to Valbone Hike. Comfy beds and not too far to walk into town. Rina is an excellent chef too! The breakfast was delicious and we got good recommendations for nearby restaurants. Rina was very prompt replying and helping us organising our trip and transfers. Would definitely recommend you come and stay!

Verified reviewWe had the such a great stay at the Artists Guest House. We highly recommend this stay to every person who is visiting Shköder. The hosts Rina and Tim are very helpful, caring and friendly. They won't feel like hosts, rather like family. Their property is breathtaking beautiful and very nicely decorated. There is a nice patio in the front garden where you can relax. Our room had enough space to organise our luggage. The breakfast is very delightful. Rina prepares the Albanian breakfast very well and the taste is beyond words. The location of the property is very convenient. It is very nearby the Shköder main city centre and near main spots like the Mesi Bridge. The hosts can also help you recommend with the best spots to visit in Shköder and surroundings.

Verified reviewWe've travelled the world extensively and can honestly say we have never experienced such a warm, effusive, friendly, loving and genuinely caring hostess than Rina, ably supported by her friendly, fun loving husband Tim. Being an ex-restaurant owner Rina knows how to cook, so her breakfasts were something to look forward to. Their home exudes a unique, charming flavour and it is situated quite close to the Shkoder city centre and its array of fabulous restaurants. Highly recommended.
Nothing.

Verified reviewE mrekullueshme . Shtepia ndodhet ne rrugen kryesore vetem 5 min larg qendres . Tim dhe Rina jane njerezit me te mire qe kemi njohur ne Shqiperi. Çmimi ishte shume i lire vetem ( 40 euro) per dy persona . Parkingu ishte falas. Ato ofronin edhe biçikletat e tyre per te bere nje xhiro neper qytet falas . Na mbajten valixhet tona falas disa dite pasi shkuam ne Theth edhe ky sherbim ishte falas . Nje mengjes fantastik i bollshem . Me pelqeu “ krepi” ishte 😋😋😋. Tim ,na ndihmoi te rezervonim tek “ Lumi i Shales” Gjeja me e bukur ishte kur ne degjuam te luante me “kitare”nje artist i vertet Ata kane dhe nje restorant super te bukur ne “ Liqenin e Shkodres”. Ishte nje “mrekulli” sidomos kur perendonte dielli qetesia e liqenit te linte pa fjale. Tim dhe Rina ju tani jeni miqt tane . Faleminderit per mikpritjen 🙏

Verified reviewBooking in Artists Guest House was one of the best travel decisions me and my wife we ever made. Trust me, just book this Guest House - you will not regret it! The owners, Rina and Kujtim, are the nicest people you will ever meet. I have never felt so welcome at any other Guest House . This is Albanian hospitality at its best. We spent 1 incredible night here, really enjoying the atmosphere, view, food, and company. We ate dinner here because it was so good. The breakfasts were wonderful and we enjoyed sitting and having drinks on the balcony. Thank you so much, Rina and Kujtim, for making our honeymoon so incredible!
