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.).

Belgium/ it was great, nothing to not like.
Everything. You will find the friendliest host who gives great tips. And he is also a free taxi driver. He will leave you at the tunnel that brings you to the castle of Gjirokastër and pick you up until 23 o’ clock. We had a great experience and whenever we choose to come to Gjirokastër, this will be where the place to come as well. 🫶🏼

TurkeyThe only downside was that, due to its location, the hotel doesn’t offer views of the main cityscape — but apart from that, everything was absolutely amazing!
Before describing the property itself, I must mention the hotel manager—interestingly named Maradona. He was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about our stay. After we made the reservation, he contacted us right away to share useful information about how to reach the hotel. He also gave us great tips about the city, which really added value to our trip. Although the hotel is within walking distance to the city center, Maradona kindly drove us there himself and picked us up at the time we requested. Since some members of my family are older and could have gotten tired walking, this gesture was deeply appreciated. The rooms were very well-maintained with a nostalgic charm, and the breakfast was satisfying. Overall, it was a warm and memorable experience thanks to both the hospitality and the comfort.

I had an amazing stay! Maradona, the owner, was incredibly communicative and responsive, always available with great recommendations for places to eat and visit. The service was next-level, including free pickup and drop-off. The room was spotless, stylish, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable.. I slept better here than anywhere else during my time in Albania. The location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Breakfast was delicious, and the price? Honestly, it felt too good to be true. This place exceeded all expectations. HIghly, highly recommend!

China-
The family are very very nice . They provide free pick-up from the bus station to the hotel. When I checked in, I was given very detailed information about Gjirokastra. Every time when I asked for any information, I always received a quivk reply . The room is very clean and comfortable. The location is also very good, only 10 minutes walk from the ancient city. The breakfast is nutritious and very ceremonial. They make them different every day for guests. Every day when I come back from outside ,the stuff needed for the roon was carefully put on the door . This is the best hotel I have stayed in this trip. I highly recommend it.

United StatesSmell from drain in the bathroom can be unpleasant but if you can open the bathroom window then it's fine. Also I think this is something that is common in places like Greece and Albania due to plumbing standards. Not something I would blame the guesthouse for. I would stay here again!
Wonderful hard working host who is extremely helpful. Nice that they accept credit cards for payment! Great shuttle to get close to the old town and back. Great breakfast. A real value. I would stay again!

The owner provided a free taxi service from the bus station/stop and again early this morning for my 7 a.m. bus. The town is very hilly. This was very kind of him. He also gave me instructions on how to get to the castle and to a local shop for water, as well as giving me restaurant recommendations.

UkraineI really enjoyed my stay in Hotel Bebej Tradicional. The room was beautifully decorated in a traditional style, very stylish and clean. The bathroom was spacious, with a great shower. The location itself was excellent — it’s situated on a hilltop, so walking to the city center was no problem at all, especially since part of the way is downhill. At night it was very quiet, and during the day — especially in the morning — you could hear birds singing, which made the atmosphere really peaceful and pleasant. A big plus goes to the owner — he was very kind and welcoming, always checking if everything was okay. He helped me park the car and also helped me get it out when I was leaving. One amazing service he offers is free rides to the city center or the castle — and back as well! Just note that this service is available until 10 PM. I used it and he kindly drove me up to the castle. That was super helpful. Breakfast was rich and delicious, and the host prepared everything quickly and with care. A great stay in every way!
