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 reviewEverything was incredible! The grounds of the property are immaculate— lush, green, full of fruit and olive trees, grapes, vegetables and plants and flowers everywhere! The room was clean and comfy, the food was delicious and unbelievably fresh and Linda and her family were very kind and hospitable. We absolutely loved our stay and wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Verified reviewWe spent one night at Hotel Villa Linda and left early next morning for Valbona. The room was clean and comfortable, but the best part of our stay was the service and hospitality: Linda and Marko made all of the arrangements for travel to Valbona and back from Theth for us, and that went smoothly. And we really enjoyed our afternoon in the garden visiting with their family. Lovely people, really generous hospitality (and good wine, too!).
For us the location was perfect, and it was nice to relax in their garden, but it is 10-15 minutes outside of Shkodër, so maybe not a great pick if you prefer to be in town.

Verified reviewLinda is the nicest hostess. She made us feel very welcome, and was always there to help us with any questions and going out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Breakfast is so nice! One day when we were leaving early to go on a day trip and told her we wouldn't be there for breakfast during the regular breakfast hours, she was up early to make us a small breakfast before we left. Everything is super clean and the rooms, garden and breakfast area are all very comfortable and nice. Linda, we didn't get to thank you in person since you were out. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
Everything was superb. The only thing you might want to consider when booking is you hear pretty much everything from the rooms in the main house. The doors/walls don't keep a lot of noise out. But we didn't have any problems with that since everyone staying there was very mindful of each other.

Verified reviewWe were a family of six, travelling from Montenegro to Albania, and stopped for one night at Villa Linda. It turned out to be such a wonderful choice that our children (all teenagers, 16 and older) even asked if we could extend our stay! The villa is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully kept. Linda and her partner were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Linda speaks good English, which made communication easy, and her lovely grandson Liam, introduced to us as the “business manager” 😁, helped translate with the grandparents and made us all smile. They gave us fantastic local recommendations, including a good fish restaurant that we loved. Overall, it was a five-star experience, sweet hosts, an amazing villa, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. We would definitely book again if passing through. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewWe booked 2 rooms and everything was perfect. Everywhere was spotless clean from the rooms to the bathrooms to the downstairs reception, the rooms were big and spacious, and the courtyard was very pretty and full of nature. The location is also good with it being only about 15-20 minutes from the center of Shkoder. The owners were also very nice, helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend it here.

Verified reviewBeautiful oasis on the outskirts of town. Linda is a wonderful host and her establishment is impeccable. Comfy bed, screens on windows, and shower enclosure ( not that common across Albania)- all very much appreciated. Nice breakfast included. We travel by car and prefer to be in a quiet place where we can easily drive to the attractions. Besides the beautiful garden, Linda and her husband also farm and have some animals, so you might be woken up by a roosters crow or you may get to see their cute donkey.
Can't think about a single thing!

Verified reviewOur landlady, Linda, and her lovely husband were so attentive to us and our children, it was as if they were our parents. They are such loving, genuine, honest, and sincere people. They truly are like a family. Thank you for welcoming us into your home, caring for us as if we were one of your own, and for allowing our children to take care of everything at the facility. Thank you for everything. We're so glad we have you.
I don't think there is anything not to like about this facility.

Verified reviewLinda and Marco are the best hosts we’ve ever had. Their attention to detail and love they put into this project made our stay very special. Breakfast was delicious, with ingredients grown in their garden. The cabin was very cute and neat. They gave us great local recommendations for our visit. It’s very close to skhoder and the lake by car.
Everything was perfect! We had a car to get there, maybe not ideal for public transport?
