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.).

United StatesFacilities adequate but a little rundown; showers run hot and cold unpredictably. Half-hour or more walk to the good beach…
Very friendly ambiance, helpful staff, nice terrace for hanging out. Big beers for 1.5 euros, full kitchen. Good restaurants nearby…

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is the top bunks don't have any rails on the side and the showers are either freezing or boiling but other than that was great. Would stay again!
The property has a big communal garden and indoor chill area with good WiFi. Is right in the centre with a 5 min walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Each floor has 3 bathrooms and 2 toilets so there is always availability. Outdoor hanging area for clothes and fridges available to store food

United StatesIt's an older property so has some aging issues. It's a little shabby but clean. The young staff don't speak Albanian or know the city so couldn't help with busses or any traveler questions. The garden needs attention.
Great location near the walking street in a little alley. Quiet, with a courtyard. The included breakfast was a nice surprise. House rules were clear, nothing Draconian. My room was a private which was spacious with a very good private en suite. There was an iron to borrow and space in the kitchen for private provisions.

United KingdomThe showers are not the best: water constantly changes from freezing to burning back and force and there're just curtains, no doors.
The place is great, right next to the central square with a lot of sights and cafes/restaurants around. It has a nice private garden, it's very clean and they let me stay with my dog without any issues. The team who runs it is simply amazing and I will definitely come back.

United StatesIssues with the stove, lockers were broken and/or not really secure, and the toilets were a pain to flush. Lots of little easy to fix issues everywhere that obviously no one cares about to fix. There was no heater/AC in my room, so it was pretty cold.
Good location with a large kitchen and common area. There is a large outdoor patio as well. It is close to the bus station and the ferry terminal. Good for a couple of nights, and best option in Durres. Decent value for the money. Be sure to check out the amphitheater ruins, and hike up to the lighthouse, and check out the abandoned Zog Palace. It's a nice pine forest and there are very nice views of the sea from up there, once you get past the piles of trash.

It would be best without NO rugs in there.Plus mould ceiling and walls.Room not warm enough.Only an electric heater which did not help much.
Location. Right in the middle of everything.Pretty convenient.Breakfast.(lovely).And reception staff very helpful.

Super central, close to the port, and the bus terminal, just two blocks from the amphitheater and other tourist sites in Durres. Breakfast was super tasty. Very friendly staff.
