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.).

GermanyA place with heart&soul&views, perfect for all nature, hiking and mountain lovers. The host Sylvia is a lovely, warm person, she gave us many great recommendations and local tips for our stay. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding, all prepared with fresh and local ingredients. The rooms are comfortable and very clean and there is a nice outdoor space to chill after hiking. Nearby there is a natural pool we called *magic eye*, it couldn’t be better. We would come back anytime!

United KingdomNice quiet little spot near the end of the Theth/Valbone trail. Very clean. Sylvia is very friendly and helpful. I dont understand why some of the other reviewers said they had problems with her, but I suspect that the problem lay with a lack of sensitivity from them rather than Sylvia. The food was probably the tastiest we had in Albania, delicious trout. Accommodation is more expensive in Theth than other towns, but this place was worth it.

LatviaOne evening and morning there was some trouble with the electricity – it was on and off for some time.
The place is located right by the Theth-Valbona trail, so it was easy to access it. Plus, it was very quiet and peaceful there. The host was very friendly and welcoming, she even went above and beyond to acommodate our needs, picked us up at the village and helped us get back there to our car, and offered us dinner on the day of our arrival.

FranceBe careful the house is not fully accessible by car. There is the last 15min to do by walk.
A hidden gems in Teth mountain. We have been welcomed by Silvia and she took care of our stay with lovely attention and her brilliant personality. The room is very clean and there is everything needed. The house is in a middle of the nature that allows you to disconnect and appreciate little moments. It is perfect to start some walk in the region. Breakfast is delicious. We had one night dinner as well which was a very nice dinner. I can only advise this place.

LithuaniaIt was really a great stay, close to the hiking trail. Also, the staff was very nice and offered to help a lot with everything, so we were very thankful. One night we had dinner and it was very good. The fish we had was super tasty! As well as other dishes. The atmosphere is great, you can enjoy the garden and just sit and watch the mountains. After hiking all day to the peak and being very tired we were even offered some special juice with milk to restart. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay with them!

I first stayed at this magic place for one night as a starting point for the Peaks of the Balkans trail. It was absolutely perfect, clean, comfortable, and the family who runs the guesthouse is so kind and welcoming ! The food also was delicious, everything you need for a good day of hiking. when I finished the trail 7 days later I new I had to come back to Magic Space ! So I went back for one more night and it was still perfect !! So glad I could meet and talk to Sylva :) I wish you and your family all the best

We felt immediatly welcome in Theth by our host. Also she was kind to cook dinner for us. It will be the most traditional dish you will eat during your stay in Albania. We embarked the next day on our hike from Theth to Valbona quite early (at 6am) they were so kind to prepare for us a little foodbag which help us survive the day. We appreciated this so much.

United KingdomTheth is very spread out. Just be aware it’s about a 30 min walk to where the buses drop you off on a fairly rocky road
Near the start of the Theth-Valbonë trail so shaves a bit of time off. The room was clean and the bed comfy. We were looked after and given a nice sandwich for the trail the next day.
