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 reviewAmazing hostel with amazing staff, very friendly and helpful, great room, clean bathrooms, extremely good value for money and great very central location. Google maps leads you the wrong way however all the locals in the surrounding area are incredibly nice and willing to help point you in the right direction.

Verified reviewOverall, a nice experience, and very good value for money.
There was a homeless permanent resident from Albania in our room, who was drunk during our night there. When he woke up to see that the air conditioning was on, he got angry and shook our bunk bed, and walked to the hallway where he was shouting for a few minutes. He also turned off the air conditioning and created an uncomfortable atmosphere in the room. I would guess that this isn't the first time he did something like this. If true, then it's disappointing that the hostel allows this.

Verified reviewNice rooftop and a good location for bus access. Also pretty much right in the city center so close to many restaurants/events and such. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and answered the phone late. Good price for laundry too and cool rooftop view.
Pretty hard to find, especially later at night since it was down an alleyway between crowded restaurants. Group of people were having loud very loud conversation (yelling) outside past 1am, which could be heard clearly even 3 stories up. I know that is out of the hostels control, but it was still an inconvenience due to the location. Other than that, no issues.

Verified reviewFantastic location, right in the city centre. The staff were very down to earth and friendly, giving great advice on food, things to do, and general other travel related things. Showers and bedrooms were very clean, and the laundry facilities were handy to have. We will stay here again when in Tirana

Verified reviewGreat location! By the side of the stop of the bus from the airport - reason why I chose it. The guys from the hostel were cool to let me do late check in in the middle of the night. Very close also to shops and restaurants and all transports to Tirana and other cities. For staying one night in Tirana on my way go Berat it was perfect.

Verified reviewWell ...the staff were very nice people,but...
So I had booked an all female room, for reasons ( had bad experiences in mixed rooms before) + I requested a bottom bunk bed due to fatigue from heights. Now, you might say I've got lots of preferences, but the hostel said that my bottom bunk request is possible. Then I checked in, and at first they put me in an all men room...and on the top bed... Now nevermind the top bed, sometimes this is not possible, I understand, but I had booked the all female room, and they put me in an all men room... Then they told me the all female room is already fully booked, ok but I had also booked it. Then they did put me on a lower bed, but in the same room as one of the male receptionist, and even though they were all nice guys, after a bad experience you don't care how nice someone is. It was all good at the end, but it made me really confused and nervous. The place itself is also a bit hard to find, thank god for the construction guys nearby to navigate me. I would add a microwave to the kitchen.
thank you for your review. we made the bottom bed ready for you and for your comfort and moved our staff member from that room so you vould be alone. You know for sure that he left imediately the room and this was to fullfill your request for a bottom bunk bed and female only. Sometimes we feel sorry for ourselfs because we do the impossible for our guest to feel secure and welcomed.
