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 reviewI had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment arrived. They even prepared a lovely dinner for me, which was both generous and delicious. The hotel was very clean and the location was perfect - close to the city center, the beautiful Albanian Alps, and the Prekal River. I truly appreciated their hospitality and kindness. Highly recommended.I- would definitely come back!

Verified reviewModern fittings, newly renovated. Mini fridge included. Cold air con. Towels provided. Shower didn't have a divider but was far enough from the toilet so the floor didn't get too wet everywhere. Beautiful mountain views. 10 min drive from Shkroder but very peaceful setting. Follow the instructions given via booking.com instead of google maps. Walking distance to some nice restaurants (Paradise). We really enjoyed this peaceful stay. We used it as a base to go to Komani/Shala. Famous bridge a 5 min drive down the main road. I want to thank Ded and Vera for your incredible hospitality. Hearts full of gold. Enjoyed an evening of google translate conversations and fruit.
Nothing we didn't like. Just a few points to note: The bathroom door handle came off, used one of the key sets to close the door from the bathroom side. Not a biggie. Some clothes hangers would be nice for future guests :)

Verified reviewThe apartment was simply perfect — everything was brand new, clean, and thoughtfully equipped. But what made this place truly special were the incredible hosts. They were the kindest, warmest people we met on our trip, and they made us feel like part of their family. The view from the balcony was breathtaking — we could have spent hours just enjoying the peaceful scenery. Nothing was missing; every detail was taken care of. We felt completely at home and truly welcome. If you’re coming to Albania, don’t miss the chance to stay here. This place is a hidden gem and an unforgettable experience.
If I had to suggest anything at all, it would only be to maybe add a hairdryer in the apartment. But honestly, everything else was exceptional, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! We’re truly touched by your review — it means the world to us that you felt at home and welcomed during your stay. It was an absolute pleasure to host you, and we’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the apartment, the view, and your time here. Your suggestion about the hairdryer is very helpful — thank you! We’ve already taken note and will be sure to add one.

Verified reviewAccommodation is new and comfortable. Very good mattresses. The hosts are very friendly even though we had to talk via Google Translator.
The door handle on the bathroom door was loose and needed to be fixed.
Thank you for your review, we will check the door handle straight away, thanks for letting us know

Verified reviewThe room looked like brand new with the bathroom. It was also spacious. Parking is possible inside the courtyard. The place was also very clean, the communication with the host was also easy
It was not easy to find it, since Google Maps directed us to a wrong street. Also in the room a water kettle and a fridge would be very convenient.
