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 reviewThe view across lake Shkoder was stunning with the mountains rising above the opposite shore of the lake, it was so peaceful, clean and well equipped, even with thoughtful details such as excellent binoculars! Ardit and his family couldn't do enough for us, providing recommendations for trips and when we had a problem with our car getting stuck, they got all the neighbours to help. We had a wonderful time and would heartily recommend it.
We had to pay cash not card, but we are finding that's the same in many different shops and places.

Verified reviewWe stayed here for 4 nights at the end of May 2025. The apartment was located approximately 150 meters north of the boulevard center of Shiroka. Via a fairly steep path (from Shiroka turn left at 42.05977, 19.45196), we reached a parking area for guests behind a gate. The gate was closed for the night. The apartment was not indicated anywhere else. We were waited for and let in shortly afterwards. The owners lived on the ground floor (with a separate entrance). On the upper floor there were two complete apartments, each with a balcony. The apartment was spacious and consisted of a living room with an open kitchen, a bathroom (with toilet, bidet and shower) and a spacious bedroom. The balcony with sliding door offered a beautiful view over the lake and the narrow coastal road with a grey heron and a little egret as regular guests. On the balcony there was a hanging chair, two garden chairs and a small table. The balcony had no covering, which meant we had to stay inside on a rainy evening. The kitchen was well equipped with a refrigerator, coffee machine (a video instruction was sent via WhatsApp), ceramic hob, grill, pans, crockery, cutlery, glasses and cups. Useful basic amenities such as washing-up liquid, olive oil and salt were present. The biggest plus point of the apartment was the view of the lake and the proximity to the cozy boulevard of Shiroka, with various restaurants, terraces and a small supermarket with a currency exchange office. The boulevard was car-free, with a maximum speed of 5 km/h.
Throughout our stay, there were construction works going on at the waterfront about 50 meters from the turnoff. There was little left to be desired, such as a kettle, a tea towel and a microwave.

Verified reviewThe apartment was clean and comfortable with air conditioning and a great view of the lake. About 20 mins drive from Shkoder centre. The bed was comfy and the lounge has a huge sofa. Ardit, the owner, is a very kind man who goes out of his way to make you feel at home

Verified reviewNice apartment with beautiful view. Could spend more time. The owner was very helpful. There were airconditioners in both rooms which was nice.
It was not easy to find a house because roads are not as wide or driveble as you could think according to google map. There was also a garage for parking but due to deep hill it was difficult to drive there.

Verified reviewThe owner mr. Ardit and his family were very welcoming. The balcony has an incredible, relaxing view. The Lake of Shkoder is truly panoramic. Its near Shiroka's centre and has a small mini market right next to the guest house. Had a comfortable stay and recommend it to everyone. Until next!
