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 reviewLovely owner, nice homely atmosphere, big kitchen, nice back yard, comfortable bed and blankets available in the cupboard, great big balcony, breakfast option for extra 2€
Not enough sockets in the room, with a full house there is a wait for the bathrooms, the roosters start at 4am
Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your experience 😊 We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, comfort, and our spaces. We’ll take your suggestions about the sockets into consideration, and we understand that with a full house there might be a short wait for the bathrooms.

Verified reviewThe hospitality was palpable from the very first moment. And indeed, it was like that, we felt at home throughout our stay. Everything was very clean and tidy. Also, the breakfast was plentiful and very delicious, which we enjoyed in the garden. The place is close to the departure point 7 minutes by foot, which goes on various tours to Komani lake, Shala river, Theth and others, the tours are worth going on - you won't regret it, because it is beautiful. We recommend staying here.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🌸 We’re so happy to hear you felt at home and enjoyed the breakfast in our garden. It’s great that you could also explore the beautiful tours nearby — they truly are special! We hope to welcome you back again for more adventures in Shkodër. 💛

Verified reviewVery nice hostel in a big house with very friendly owners. It was so nice staying in a private home instead of the usual hostels. Good and very big bathrooms and kitchen, and it was so clean everywhere. There is a big garden, where you can sit and eat with the chickens around - very cozy. Very nice having the breakfast there. Value for money!

Verified reviewAmazing visit! The hostel is very clean and feels like home. Comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The location is perfect and close to a large supermarket, restaurants, and other stores. The best part of the visit was the host who is super kind, generous, and helpful - she stored our luggage safely while we were hiking in Theth, looked up stores where we could find gas for our portable stove, and fixed a taxi to our next Airbnb. We also bought all transfer tickets from Shkoder to Theth, and from Theth back to Shkoder at the hostel which made our trip very smooth. I really recommend this hostel and would totally book it if I’m in Shkoder again!
Everything was perfect!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 💛 We’re truly happy that your stay at our hostel exceeded your expectations. It was a pleasure to host you and help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable. We hope to see you again in Shkoder someday! 😊 Warm wishes from all of us at Blissful Hostel 🌿

Verified reviewExceptional experience – highly recommended! The hostel is in a great location, just a short walk from the city center. Everything is spotless and well-maintained, and the neighborhood is very quiet. The hosts are incredibly friendly and always ready to help — they responded to all our messages quickly. Breakfast was delicious and when we needed they serve it much earlier. The kitchen is well-equipped and has everything you might need — from coffee and tea to a toaster and more. I would definitely choose this hostel again!
