Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOnce you find it ( it’s in a shopping centre) it is a very modern and clean hotel. Not too large and with good customer service. Breakfast was in fact excellent in terms of choice and plenty of options for everyone. I think a nice addition would be a cozy bar rather than the rather bland bar in the main dining area. The Spa is a lovely bonus and I also had a great massage there.

United KingdomOur stay at Grand Duka Hotel was fantastic. The staff were incredibly helpful, even taking our suitcases from the car park to our room. Erno at reception went above and beyond, explaining everything about the hotel in detail and giving excellent tips for exploring the city. The cleaning ladies kept our room spotless every day, always on time. We felt safe throughout our stay, and the secure car park was a big plus that gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommended!

United KingdomMy room was in a corridor off reception. There was a door into the corridor with no automatic closure, which meant that noise from reception and the bar could be heard. Very odd having to go into a shopping centre to find and access the hotel. The sign for the hotel was hidden down the side of the building. One loo roll for the stay. No spares. When I commented, I was horrified to be told I should have asked. Ask for loo roll?! It's meant to be five stars but there's a lot of learning to be done.
Easy parking once I'd found the entrance, which is on a side street. Central location.

RomaniaHotel security is not great because you can acces it from the fire escape stairs of the mall. The mall itself isn't updated in fire security measures.
The hotel looks brand new and the staff was nice (like every place we went in Albania this week!)

United KingdomWe recently stayed at the Grand Duka Hotel for 2 nights as a group of 16, and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and well-located, but what really made our stay exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff. A special thanks goes to Kristina and Elona, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly for our group. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional — assisting us with restaurant reservations, arranging taxis, and always making sure we had what we needed. Their warm and attentive service truly made us feel welcome. We highly recommend the Grand Duka Hotel for anyone visiting the area

United KingdomI have no negative things to say about the hotel, they were more than willing to help and exceeded my expectations everytime!
Where do I begin? I have stayed at many hotels in the past, but the service I was provided at the Grand Duka is honestly the best! This hotel ticks every box! Location-wise wise it is so close to everything! The Beach, Nightlife, Bars, & Restaurants were walking distance away (cabs to and from the hotel and bars were relatively cheap as well). The hotel is absolutely beautiful, it's modern, minimalistic, with a neutral tone that flows through the property. Rooms are just as impressive, they were so clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was great too- so many people asked me where I was staying! The spa & wellness centre was well-kept and very clean! All of the gym equipment worked properly, and they had a variety of machines to choose from. The spa facilities were a great way to relax (I spent a lot of time in there!) The restaurant and bar were great, and the breakfast menu had lots of variety to choose from! The dinner options were well-made and delicious! The bar and bar staff were great, providing great customer service & recommending drinks (my favourite was the Aperol Spritz!) The staff are some of the friendliest and helpful people I have come across when staying at a hotel - they greeted us with a smile every day, they made excursion recommendations for us to make the most of our holiday, and they would always ask if there was anything they could do to help! I would like to give a special shout-out to Anisa, the Marketing Manager; she was amazing, such a lovely lady, and super friendly! We were celebrating my Sister's 23rd birthday, she went over and above to help make sure it was special, assisting with getting special decorations, planning the surprise, and the cake! Honestly, Grand Duka was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had! If I ever find myself back in Durrës I know exactly where I'll be staying!
