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 social hostel - lots of fun! Would definitely recommend.
Facilities are passable at best. Kitchen and fridges need a good clean out, and better maintenance. Rooms are quite small.

A small lamp next to each bed could be a plus.

Verified reviewIt has such nice vibes — clean, friendly, and with a great international atmosphere, that makes it easy to meet people from all over the world. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. They organise well-planned excursions during the day. Himare has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen! Crystal-clear water, clean, and perfect for swimming. A great spot to relax and enjoy the Albanian coast. Also different social activities every night at the hostel — perfect for solo travellers or anyone looking to connect. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the main beach and just 5 minutes from a bus stop, so it’s easy to get around. I originally planned to stay a few nights but ended up extending for 10 days. Definitely coming back again! Thanks, Faleminderit ☺️🙌
It would be great to have a few more shaded spots during the day to make hanging out in the common areas even more comfortable when the sun is strong.

Verified reviewGreat friendly hostel. Brilliant kitchen, nice outdoor space. Dorms were clean and spacious. Aircon in the rooms is great and needed in the summer! It's a short little walk into the centre of Himare, which was great for me as I prefer not to be right in the middle of town. It's easy to get everywhere, and a market nearby, etc.
Bathrooms need hooks! and some ventilation. Other than that, it's a great spot.

Verified reviewLocated fairly centrally
So much i did not like here. I would never stay again or recommend. Avoid this place like the plague! Really poor customer service here. No one cared about guests. Most of the staff are untrained volunteers getting a free holiday. The woman who showed me around took 5 minutes to find my room & apologised saying it was her 2nd day & there was no training. I asked about the bbq & was told i would need wood etc. The manager actually fired up & used the bbq that night but had no thought to offer this to others. I was so annoyed to have to street park my car in albania. Who would have paid if my car was broken into ??? Oasis hostel ?? Booking.com I booked a carpark. There were none as advertised. I stayed here b/c of the carparking facility offered but there was none. Zero- The frontgate was on rollers & it was obvious if the staff had bothered they should open the frontgate & securely park 4-5 cars inside the hostel area where there was heaps of room. They could not be bothered. The manager dennis barked at me like a dog to move my car 150 meters away & park on the street. I had no choice but to leave my vehicle, belongings out on the street. Not secure ir safe parking. The kitchen is open air with no door. There are 3-5 cats here & they are in the kitchen, around food & into rubbish bins. As soon as i cooked chicken cats were everywhere. A volunteer told me to leave bones for the cats so i did & then the manager abused me. I would never stay here again. It was so uncomfortable-

Verified reviewEverything. Deniz, who was managing the Oasis, was ever so helpful and friendly. When I arrived he informed me that he would be making pizza and it was fantastic. A really great vibe around the place and the other guests were such good fun. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay with a great atmosphere then look no further.
The fact that I had to leave!
