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 reviewFantastic location: a mere three-minute walk from the bus terminal in Vlorë. (Don't trust Google Maps, which take the king way round. Just get behind the residential buildings and follow the narrow path. ) It's more like a guesthouse: the hosts (a couple) live in the same building upstairs. They don't speak much English but are super nice and helpful. The whole property is very clean and well-maintained. The bed linen even has a pleasant smell.
The bathroom is a bit small, but that didn't really bother me.

Verified reviewFor starters I loved the location. I had to be back, but I could have stayed longer easily. It’s a silent very authentic neighbourhood. The dorms are very well done, given all the comfort you need. And they have decent heating. There is an outdoor area. I don’t know if I personally liked it 😀 but only later I realised the meaning of the hostel's name and the set up is so you feel like you’re in a family. Like you’re home. The owners live upstairs. Friendly but Nana was watching me not using the kitchen 😀 I might not understand cultural habits here. Still it was a great place to be.
I was a bit confused as this has dorms and is listed as a hostel. And there is a kitchen, but I was - besides making drinks - not allowed to use the kitchen. And I know the food in Albania isn’t expensive. But due to some health and back issues I sometimes like to stay at the place and have easy access to my (budget)food. I think this place would run much better in winter if the kitchen could be used. It was a pity I was alone.

Verified reviewThis was one of the best experiences I have ever had in a hostel. Nana and her family received me with such kindness that I felt at home immediately. They were really helpful and attentive. They even gave me a gift before I left. The facilities were spotless, the room was spacious, the beds very comfortable, with clean sheets and comfortable pillows, and there was a big common area and two beautiful gardens to hang out and relax. The hostel is literally two minutes away from the bus station and really close to all the main attractions and the old city. It's a very convenient location, with supermarkets, bakeries and everything you need at hand. There is also a city bus that can take you to the beach in a few minutes. I would definitely go back there and I highly recommend it.

Verified reviewThe hostel was perfect for us. We spend two nights there and were totally amazed. The owner Nana is a kind and lovely woman who welcomes everybody in such a nice way. She speaks a mix of Albanian, Greek and English and with a little help of google translate we had the most wonderful talks with her and the other guests. It’s in a more quiet area with cafes but there’s a bus every 12 minutes that takes you to the port or the boulevard. We would always come back since it was such a warm experience.
