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.).

TurkeyI found the showers a bit cramped. Other than that, the only issue —which isn’t really an issue— was that I had a friend in Shkodër. So, during my stay at the hostel, this friend kept me out exploring from early morning until midnight, so I didn’t have the chance to socialize. I just hope they didn’t think I was some kind of anti-social guest :) But I’m sure you’ll get to make plenty of great connections.
This wonderful hostel is located right in the heart of Shkodër and feels like a true international hub. The cubicles are comfortable and cozy. The bathrooms are clean. The receptionists are extremely helpful and attentive. I definitely recommend it.

AustraliaGreat value! This pod hostel has spacious, clean rooms with a comfy bed for a truly great night's sleep. They offer cheap laundry for only 3 euros and provide a bath towel. Staff were accomodating with luggage storage while on the hike and with other requests, would stay again - highly recommend!

BrazilCleaning could be better maintained during the day. It’s one big room with more than 40 beds. Coworking space is good but might get hot and not so quiet some times if you wanna work.
The pods are cozy and private, all the volunteers working there were super polite. Breakfast is also nice as you can do it yourself. Shout out for the lovely Sunday pancakes!!! Even though it’s 40 beds in one room is quite silent. Overall is an excellent value for money and I would (did) come back!

United KingdomNot anyone’s fault and just where my pod was placed (right in front of the doors out and to toilet) but when I’d gone to bed people kept coming in and out of both which was slightly annoying. But that’s just me being boring and going to bed early
It was a five minute walk from the street where all the buses stop. It was close to a big shop

CanadaIt’s advertised that they have luggage storage in a locked room, this isn’t the case. If you’re storing a bag, it is just left by the reception desk, which isn’t always staffed especially at night. However I had no issues leaving my items for 4 nights while hiking Theth - Valbona. Watch your head going up the stairs…bonked my head too many times. Air conditioning is only on at certain times, which made it uncomfortably warm, especially if you close the privacy curtain in the pod, as there’s no circulation. Pods could use hooks or shelf. Washroom is in the dorm so the smell can get bad. Not the nicest washrooms and showers.
Good location, good value, friendly staff, nice rooftop view, good wifi, good size lockers, towel provided.

The manager is the nicest guy I talked to in a long time and really cares about his staff and the guests. Overall the staff is helpful and the hostel has everything you need and if you need something the team is ready to give it to you. The location is excellent only a few meters from the main road a supermarkets restaurants etc. The rooftop is great and the breakfast a big plus. If you try to decide between the hostels in shkoder do yourself a favour and choose this one!!!!!

FinlandThere are too many beds in one sleeping area. This means you can always hear people packing/unpacking/coming in/ going out/ speaking. Don't forget ear plugs.
Having been travelling in the Balkans for some time now, I have found this to be the cheapest hostel to stay in with fairly good services. There is free breakfast (basic ham and cheese sandwich), good showers, and curtains for the beds. The location is superb. For 3 euros, you can also use the laundry. Above all, there is a spacious common area for work and socializing on the 3rd floor. The kitchen is in the same area.
