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.).

IsraelThis is a brand-new place that perfectly captures the charm and spirit of a traditional home in a picturesque, historic neighborhood. The house is full of character and beauty. The host is wonderful – despite speaking little English, she communicates remarkably well and helped us with restaurant recommendations and any request we had. The location is excellent – just a short walk to the old town – and breakfast is served in a small, traditional dining room. Everything is fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The entire property is spotless, sparkling clean, and well maintained. Parking is available, and the rooms offer a stunning view. Don’t be worried about the narrow alleys when arriving – they are part of the charm and lead you right to this lovely place. Pros: • Perfect combination of new comfort and traditional charm • Close to the old town and main attractions • Delicious, fresh breakfast • Extremely clean and well kept • Wonderful host who is always happy to help • On-site parking and great views from the rooms Cons: • The bathroom is very small, with no rain shower head • No balcony for enjoying the view, unlike some similar properties • Breakfast is not served outdoors • No elevator, and the stairs are narrow with several floors to climb (we knew this in advance, so it was fine for us) Overall, a delightful stay in a beautiful home with a fantastic location, a truly charming atmosphere, and a host who makes you feel genuinely welcome.

CanadaOur stay at Hotel Argyropolis was absolutely wonderful! Tatiana made us feel right at home with her warm and welcoming hospitality. The room was very clean and the homemade breakfast every morning was delicious. The location is also perfect walking distance from the city centre and main sightseeing spots in the city such as the castle. Overall, we definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing and convenient stay in Gjirokastër!

We loved our stay at Argyropolis Hotel in Gjirokastër! The house itself is stunning—full of historic charm, and beautifully maintained. The location is ideal, just a short walk to everything, but still very peaceful and quiet. What truly made our visit special was our host, Tatiana. She is kind, caring and thoughtful. She is one of those special people that puts you at ease and makes you feel like a welcomed, treasured guest. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at home. Every morning, she prepared a delicious homemade breakfast with fresh, local ingredients— so YUMMY! Also her recommendations were excellent so ask her where to eat and attractions to visit. Staying here felt like staying with family. We can’t recommend Argyropolis Hotel enough, and we’ll definitely return. Make sure to follow her directions and don’t trust Google Maps!
