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.).

On the second night there was loud techno music in the nearby bar, so it was noisy until late.
The hosts were incredibly friendly, the guesthouse is super cute and the location is great.

Renato and his partner were brilliant hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Renato helped to clarify our route to Theth / Valbone / Lumi I Shales and back to Shokdra. We received advice for a booking agent nearby which was fairly priced and great service too. We received a packed breakfast which was delicious and they kept our bags whilst we did our walking trail for a few days. The location was excellent, a few seconds walk from lots of bars, restaurants and cafes. Our room was super comfy and clean, we also enjoyed using the outdoor area.

Renato was the most helpful and generous host. He helped us organise all our transport for the Valbone to Theth loop and was always available for any questions. The accommodation was also so lovely and in an amazing location with access to the old town. The accommodation had parking and when we had to leave our car for a few days, Renato also organised this for us. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

The most beautiful guest house we have ever stayed in. Renato and his wife were so welcoming,friendly and kind. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was homemade and delicious and served in the shared garden. It is in an excellent location too, just off the main street so it feels quiet. Definitely recommend hiring bikes and cycling to the lake. Thank you. We hope to return one day.

Felt like a home away from home the minute we were welcomed by the hosts! Such a lovely couple that run this guesthouse, very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The room is perfect for a couple nights stay, with plenty of storage for bags. The bathroom was was clean and well kept. Beautiful shared courtyard to unwind and relax, especially in the evenings and for a lovely homemade breakfast in the mornings! Could not fault this guesthouse, would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything here was perfect. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Renato was very helpful, he helped us book transport to Theth, looked after our bags while we were away and printed off our bus tickets for onward travel to Montenegro. The breakfast was also lovely, I would definitely recommend staying here!!

There was nothing we didn’t like.
Everything about this property is first rate. It was particularly nice to be met by the hosts, and to interact with them throughout our stay. Renato gave us great advice about the town and suggested 2 restaurants, both of which we tried and both were excellent and reasonably priced. The breakfast was great, and on the morning we left for an early bus we were provided with a packed breakfast. They also store luggage free of charge for those (like us) walking the Valbone-Teth trail.

Everything was great!
The location was perfect, just off the main road so it was quiet enough but still very close to the action. I got a private room which had a decent sized bathroom, small room and small single bed but that that is what I had paid for. I even received a take away breakfast before I left for my hike. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone else looking for a casual stay in the heart of the town.

Absolutely beautiful little guesthouse with friendly helpful hosts. The guesthouse is immaculately clean, food fresh and delicious. The guesthouse is perfectly located for access to the main town, but set back on a quiet road so little night noises. Host very helpful in arranging bike hire, transport to Theth etc Highly recommend.
