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 reviewVery hospitable and kind owners. Very clean rooms with a great breakfast. Just outside of Shkoder (10 min by car from the city center) and walkable (30 min) distance from Rozafa castle. Great access to the lake for cyclists. There are few restaurants within walking distance at the river bank.
Outside of the city, if it's important.
Thank you for staying with us! We hope you had a great time and look forward to seeing you again. Safe travels and all the best! 🌟

Verified reviewOur stay was very good because our hosts were amazing! When we arrived they gave us really delicious home made Baklava with a tea. The home made breakfast was really delicious too! The portions were enough and very good in comparison to other restaurants and hotels. Besides, the helpful hosts helped us solving a parking fee. We will definitely come back!
Nothing bad ;)

Verified reviewThe hosts were amazing - even though my bus was late, they picked me up in the middle of the night. The room was really big and cozy, with fruits and cookies. The morning breakfast is the biggest and tastiest I've ever had in a booking.

Verified reviewThe house is owned by the host's parents, who are very nice and attentive. They don't speak English, but it wasn't a problem. There is secure parking. The big rooms are large and I got a very comprehensive breakfast.

Verified reviewOur host gave us a warm welcome. She made sure we lacked nothing. The room was spacious and clean, with enough blankets for the slightly chilly nights during the fall. The rain shower was wonderful and the breakfast was excellent. The best breakfast we had during our stay in Albania.

Verified reviewStaff was very friendly and helpful. The location was 15mins by car to the centre of the city next to the lake. The room was very clean and the beds very comfortable.
The only thing we didn't really like was that two rooms was shared one bathroom. However we had different schedules and we never wait for eachother.
Thank you for review😊
