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 reviewStaff were so warm and friendly. Beautiful clean swimming pool with tables around where we sat and ate our breakfast. Easy parking out the front. Easy walk to all the restaurants. Loved our stay here.
Our twin room was a bit small but we had a balcony with soft furniture which was like having a second room so this definitely made up for it.

Verified reviewI stayed here with my husband in September 2024 and we loved it, so when my daughter and her friend (both 19) wanted to also visit Gjirokaster I booked them to stay 3 nights at this hotel. Hotel staff were once again lovely and helpful (special thanks to Jenny), and the place is beautiful and well located. I felt happy knowing my daughter was in good hands at this hotel.

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and I loved sitting out on my balcony for reading. Although the pool is small, it was great to be able to relax there at the end of a hot day. Finally, I had to take an early bus to Berat, so a member of staff took me to the station for a small fee. I liked it so much that I hope to return.
The area around the pool was quite tight with the large sun chairs.

Verified reviewXheni was incredibly nice, polite, and ready to help for anything we needed ❤️ We really enjoyed the pool, which is clean and warm. Everything is clean in the maximum even the area outside is well taken care of. The hotel is spacious as the typical culture of Gjirokastër city with the pool is the perfect combination, especially for the summer days and is totally worth the price of the accommodation. The breakfast was very tasty, especially petulla and komposto! We really recommend this hotel, and we want to say a big thank you for hosting us😊
The only thing that it will be very helpful is another plug for the fridge as it is next to bed and you can't charge your phone near you, so you have to move the fridge to the another plug or to turn it off😊

Verified reviewLocation is fantastic with super views over the city, added bonus is the swimming pool, and the staff were really super friendly & helpful
Our room (delux) was small which is okay except for the fact no where to put anything, cupboard was full with bed stuff and an extra bed took up too much space for the size of the room

Verified reviewGreat location in the old town just a short walk from the old bazaar etc. The 2 young ladies that work reception here were first class fair play 👌🏼. The pool is also a big bonus after a days sightseeing. Parking available at the property. I’ve added pics of the view from our balcony and the pool.
Just for info, don’t rely on Apple Maps to get you to the property, the girls at reception will send you a link.

Verified reviewThe staff were SO lovely and went above and beyond for us. Any help you need, they’ll be there. Xheni was especially lovely, she was so kind and sweet and made us feel so comfortable and safe there. We needed help with ordering food, using the washing machine/ dryers, taxis, getting around and Xheni helped us with everything! The other gentleman who works the night shifts there (so sorry I can’t remember your name) was also so incredibly sweet and out of the kindness of his own heart, he drove us to the bus station after we checked out. We were so touched by that, and all of the lovely service we received. The room was clean, comfy and the hotel had everything we needed. Breakfast was also lovely, with juices, milk, cereal, croissants, sandwiches, etc. The pool area outside was also really nice.
Nothing, it was perfect :)
