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):
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.
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.).

DenmarkSuper Beautiful and close to the bazaar but without all the noise and rush. The little outdoor jazucci is fantastic. Great beds, breakfast etc. Parking is a bit difficult but agree on an exact arrival time and wait at the restaurants nearby and be guided by the sweet female owner the last 50 steep and narrow meters. The best little restaurant in town is called Castleview and is located 100 meters away, a little up the road on the right. Look for the blue awning. Everything is young Maria's own production, tastes fantastic and there is a beautiful view of the castle, and a cool breeze.

GermanyThis place is very new and comfortable. On top of the old town with a superb view on the castle from the jacuzzi. Very clean, super tasty breakfast and friendly hosts - we felt almost like home. Parking at the street also worked well for us. (I am adding pictures since we drove past it the first time. Look for the white sign. Google doesn‘t find it very well. 😉)

SingaporeI understand it’s a small hotel but we felt a bit rushed out in the morning. 1030 am check out feels a bit early and staff were asking us if they could enter the room to start cleaning around 9.
Beautiful location north of the old town with a stunning view of the valley and castle. The suite with the bathtub was well appointed, comfortable and has amazing views. Breakfast on the terrace was also very nice.

United KingdomThe parking situation should be clearly defined from the beginning and the guests should be informed where to park. The street was closed to cars due to roadworks so we spent some time trying to manage that. It would have been easier if we would have been informed where to park.
We had a wonderful stay at the Aqueduct inn, with a great view of the castle from our room. Our room was big and had a nice bath tub to admire the views. The breakfast was one of the highlights, served by a very nice lady with a great English. Our kids loved the jacuzzi and still talk about it. You can sit there and enjoy the views of the city.

NetherlandsNothing, everything was super good.
Really nice and good looking room. We stayed in the suite, the bathtub with view was wonderful. The jacuzzi was super nice as well. It is a really old building and the owners have made sure all the old features are still there, which makes it lovely. The owners are super nice and attentive as well. Would 100% stay here again if we ever go back to Gjirokaster.

SpainEverything was perfect!
Very special accommodation with an incredible view. We chose the best room, huge and with an enormous bathtub, and a comfy bed. Also, they have an outside jacuzzi that we were able to use it at any time. Everything was spotless! The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts simply lovely! One of them waited for us outside because the place is a bit hidden in the narrow streets, and can be a bit tricky to find. We recommend it 100%!

United StatesSome work needs to be done assisting guests to get to this location. To our surprise, the road in front of the establishment is under construction, and we basically had to back our huge van down a narrow alley to escape the dead end. The hotel entrance was poorly marked, so it took us at least 10 minutes to find it. I highly suggest the hotel send a notice to all guests about how to get to the hotel and where and how to park ... especially while the road construction is ongoing. Fortunately, the hotel has arranged for parking accommodations down the hill for guests. Note however that there is a huge hill to climb to get your bags up from that parking lot to the hotel. Again, more information from the hotel would be helpful.
So, I love small proprietorships like this, and I really wish there were more like it. The entire facility consists of 4 guest rooms, and they are presently adding a 5th room. All rooms have access to a wonderful public veranda overlooking the city. It has some kind of water tub (see listing pictures), but this was not heated so we couldn't use it. We did however sit out there and smoke a couple of cigars, and that was a really spectacular experience. (Don't confuse this with the "Suite with hottub" which we didn't book) I liked the rooms, and the breakfast was very intimately served in the morning by a nice young lady. The best thing I can say is that I would stay here again, now that I know the ropes about how to get there and park (see my notes on that below).

GreeceThe jacuzzi was out of order and there was no notification about that, only when we asked ourselves. It was challenging to find somewhere to park the car.
The breakfast was homemade and really delicious. We booked the suite with the hot tub and we enjoyed a great view of the valley and the castle. We had a really relaxing moment there! The suite was very beautiful with traditional Albanian style, spacious and comfortable.
