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 reviewA good hotel, located right on the edge of the city center, just a two-minute walk to the pedestrian zone. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is quite decent. Highly recommended for a stay.
However, the parking area is a bit intimidating, especially if your car is low. The cleanliness parking could be improved, and it would also be better if, when booking a room for a family of four, four blankets were provided instead of fewer.

Nothing in particular, maybe there was not a lot of choice at breakfast, but it was still a good compromise considering the price

Verified reviewThis small hotel offers great value for money and a pleasant stay in Shkodër. The lady at the reception was extremely kind and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the city center. Rooms are well equipped with air conditioning and a fridge, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is decent, and overall, the experience was very positive.
Just a small note: be aware that there are about a dozen stairs to reach the reception area.
Dear Arie, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re so pleased to hear that you had a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us in Shkodër. Your compliments, especially regarding our reception team and the room amenities, truly mean a lot to us. It's wonderful to know that our central location and service contributed to a positive experience. We also appreciate your note about the stairs leading to reception. While it’s a small detail, it’s helpful for future guests, and we’re exploring ways to improve accessibility. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime you’re in Shkoder again!

Verified reviewNicely decorated hotel, in easy walking distance from the centre of the town. Very modern rooms, very chic! Staff were friendly and organised a day tour for us very professionally. The room we had was spacious and well laid out. Breakfast was good, not great. Staff at breakfast, however, were very friendly.
The hotel has a big staircase at the front that you need to lug your bags up. We had a few issues with housekeeping, getting towels, etc. The reception staff were excellent at fixing things up quickly, but a little more attention to these matters would be appreciated.
Dear Trevor, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us — especially the modern design of our rooms, the convenient location, and the service provided by our reception team. It’s also wonderful to know that you appreciated the day tour we arranged and found our staff friendly and helpful throughout your visit. We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding breakfast and housekeeping. We’re already working with our team to ensure smoother coordination, especially in delivering towels and improving the breakfast experience. As for the front staircase, we understand it may be inconvenient for some guests, and we’re actively exploring options to make arrivals more comfortable. We truly value your comments, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to Shkodra. Warm regards, Hotel Dirista Management Team

Verified reviewWhat a beautiful and clean hotel. This was one of our favourite stays in Albania. The room was so clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with the option of a thicker duvet if you run cold at night. There were slippers and robes, and the bathroom and shower facilities were fantastic with excellent water pressure. There was a coffee machine and kettle in the room, and a fridge. The staff were so so helpful and kind, and the breakfast spread was lovely. We would definitely come back here. Parking is underground which is so helpful when there’s scorching summer heat outside!
Dear Ayesha, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your stay was one of your favorites in Albania.
