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 reviewLovely little guest house set back from the main road. A bit difficult to find with Google maps (Maps.me is better) but the hosts are very helpful and will come to find you! Marsal speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable on hikes in the area. Breakfast and dinner are great and they'll make packed lunches as well.
Nothing - everything is excellent.

Verified reviewThe hosts are very nice and helpful. We needed to go to Shiroke and the host took us himself and brought us back for a much cheaper price than the taxis. Good breakfast. They offered us fruit and rakia which was a nice touch.
The facilities could be improved, the bedroom was a little cramped

Verified reviewNico is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.
It's hard to find, a sign outside would be nice. The room is cramped up with so much stuff. The bed was not the best.

Verified reviewNiko and his parents are very helpful, talkative, and friendly people. A very nice bonus of Stairway to Heaven is that they serve a wonderful breakfast every morning: two eggs cooked in various styles, bread, and some cheese. I almost never bought lunch outside because I was still full from breakfast!
A pedestrian street with lots of entertainment, restaurants, and cafes is only a 10 minute walk away, but I found the route from and to was confusing. GPS signals and map apps don't work very well with the overhead power lines in Shkoder, so don't completely trust your map app.

Verified reviewGreat location, just a few minutes' walk to town with a lot of restaurants and bars. The host was super friendly and we even got a local breakfast. The room was clean and tidy.
While traveling through Albania, we noticed that in most places the shower is combined with the toilet, without a separate cabin. Because of that, showering can be a bit tricky since the water gets everywhere.

No aircon.
