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.).

SpainThis is one of the best hotels of our stay in Albania so far! It is a very quaint, quiet, family run hotel that has all the amenities of a luxury boutique hotel. The decorations are impeccable, the views from the terrace and some of the rooms are breathtaking, and the beds and pillows are heavenly. You CAN’T go wrong if you stay here.

SpainMore information on check in would have been appreciated- Fyi: we were not informed that rooms aren’t cleaned unless you ask them to, and that there was a coffee machine available to use. Bathroom - shower: only has half a shower door so the bathroom floor gets wet.
Lovely hotel, good sized room and comfortable bed. As away from main centre it’s quite too with great views. Located a short walk from castle and old bazaar. Staff friendly and gave advice on where to eat etc. Recommend.

This boutique hotel delivers big time - stone house renovated to a very high standard but you get the charm of the original building plus all mod cons ! Staff are both very friendly and welcoming and helpful - especially the Owners who helped us hugely with our luggage on arrival and transfer back to Tirana. Recommend big time !!

DenmarkThe most beautiful little boutique hotel with a completely stunning view to the mountains. The interior and exterior decor so nice and with great respect for the originality of the building. Very friendly staff. The location is perfect since it is not located in the middle of the buzzling bazaar area, but only 5 minutes walk away.

This boutique hotel is one of the best Accomodation I have stayed in. It is beautiful inside and out… gorgeous communal balcony spaces. Located walking distance from the castle and bazaar. Rooms and spaces are of exceptional quality. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

UkraineWhat an absolute gem! We were traveling around Albania for two weeks and we booked this hotel for three nights, just for a bit of a rest. We were both surprised and delighted by this place. The rooms were extremely comfortable -- the most comfortable bed and best shower we had in Albania -- and the space is thoughtfully and beautifully designed. The staff was beyond kind, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. The hotel was an easy walk to all Gjirokaster's attractions. And at the end of the day, we loved sitting on the patio, enjoying the hotel's sweeping views of the city. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

EthiopiaSome tips for the owners: A little shelf by the bed would be great so you don’t have to leave your phone/ water on the floor which is a long way down from the lovely big bed. Softer chairs on the terrace would be well received. Overall our stay was 10/10
Everything about this property is finished to a high spec with great attention to detail. The bed, sheets, towels were top quality and comfortable. It’s a quiet hotel within 5 mins walk to the Main Street. There’s a couple of lovely terraces to sit outside. Owners are lovely and very helpful. We loved our stay here. The hosts recommended the restaurant Furra - although it is on the main tourist street, the food was amazing (pork belly esp, - so much meat and so tasty and the rocket salad) Enjoy your stay

United StatesPerfect place to stay when visiting Gyrokaster. A little difficult to find using google maps, and if you have health or mobility issues, it was a struggle to carry the luggage from the parking place to the accommodation.

United KingdomIt's a shame that it was not possible to have breakfast at the accommodation but numerous places to eat are only a few minutes walk away.
The room was superbly appointed offering great views over the countryside. The outside courtyard area was particularly pleasant offering an opportunity to relax and take advantage of the good weather. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room finished to a high standard. The staff were very accommodating and even drove us to the bus station on the morning of our departure.

United KingdomThe suite covers a small area - as you can see from the property details. It has its own entrance and the shared space is the courtyard. What you see in the photos is what you get.
The owners are friendly and were there in the afternoon or evening both days we stayed. The property is part of the husband's family home, and family members occasionally passed through the courtyard which was very nice. The courtyard was great and had stunning views. Everything was new and the owners had clearly spent money to create a high quality experience, as is evident from the photos. The location is fantastic.

AustraliaThe hosts - Linda & Arsi & their staff were very hospitable and helpful. The girls met me at the taxi to navigate the cobbled stone laneway to the hotel, Arsi drove me to the bus when left and the girls checked in on me as I’d been ill —- all very much appreciated! Felt like a home away from home. I loved the location( 5 minute walk to old town), quiet setting & morning serenade of distant roosters and birdsong :)
