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 apartment has two rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs. We had the one upstairs with double bed and it definitely is the better one. The kitchen is big and well equipped. All a was spot clean. The position is very good to move by foot.
A little of a nightmare if you have a car. The entrance has no space to stop the car and unload it. The road is one way and there's a cycling path running in front of the door. Plus finding a parking nearby is difficult and we had to pay for a parking 400m away.
Dear Matteo, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay at Vila Koltrina. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness of the apartment, the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, and found the upstairs room with the double bed comfortable. It's also wonderful that you appreciated our central location for exploring on foot. We sincerely apologize for the parking difficulties you experienced. We understand how frustrating it can be to navigate the narrow road and find suitable parking in our historic city center. Your feedback is valuable, and we're working to provide clearer parking information and directions to our future guests to help avoid these challenges. Thank you for choosing Vila Koltrina, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another visit! Best regards, Vila Koltrina Team

Verified reviewThe host was really lovely and friendly. Location to centre is great and comfortable bed. Villa has lots of space.
Unsure if we were the first guests of the season, however the downstairs was smelling of damp. Damp on walls in bedroom- no good for anyone's chest. No WFI No running hot water so we had a cold wash late at night when we got back to the property then realised the boiler was not switched on in the morning. Neighbours dog barked till early hrs of the morning..continously. not the host fault. So little sleep had to be woken by building work going on in the street at 7am. Garden area overgrown to sit on the patio.
Dear Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're pleased that you found our hospitality welcoming and appreciated the location and spaciousness of the villa. We sincerely apologize for the multiple issues you encountered during your stay. The problems you've described - the damp smell, moisture issues in the bedroom, lack of WiFi, hot water system malfunction, and overgrown garden area - fall well below the standards we strive to maintain. We take your concerns very seriously and are addressing each issue you've raised. We're implementing immediate improvements to our property maintenance, utility systems, and guest communication to ensure these problems don't affect future guests. Regarding the external noise factors (neighbor's dog and street construction), while beyond our direct control, we understand how disruptive they were to your rest and will consider ways to better inform future guests about potential disturbances. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback as it helps us improve, and we're committed to ensuring a much better experience for all our guests going forward. Best regards, Vila Koltrina Team

Verified reviewThe location is perfect. It is an old house very near to the city center.
The humidity and luck of light is a problem. And it is a bit freezing in winter. I guess summer would be much better there.

Verified reviewVery good value for money and plenty of room in the upstairs apartment. Nice to have the garden and kitchen. No one else had booked a room, so we had it all to ourselves.

Verified reviewAfter some difficulty and misunderstanding to find/get into the guest house all was fine. I guess we were not used to finding a guest house behind an iron door... Suada sorted everything out and we had some good talks, food and tips for what to see in Skodra :-)
Maybe add the second phone number in the description and maybe describe the entrance. Only other thing would be to add some reading lights with the beds.

Verified reviewLooking from the main road (in the heart of the city center) you only find a steel gate. Once inside, you'll be surprised to find a small garden and a rather spacious room with air conditioning next to a big living room/kitchen, which you share with 1 other visitor (couple). We did not meet our host, but we had good communications by WhatsApp. Everything fine!
