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.).

FranceWe had an amazing stay at this guest house and honestly, we can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, the host made me feel so welcome – incredibly friendly, helpful, and always with a smile. The hospitality was truly top-notch and made me feel right at home. The place itself was spotless – everything was clean and well-maintained, which made my stay even more comfortable. The location is perfect too – close to the main attractions, but still peaceful and quiet at night. If you’re visiting Gjirokastër and want a cozy, clean, and welcoming place to stay, this is the one. I will definitely be coming back!

United Arab EmiratesWe like everything
The house is located in a strategic location, near the bazar and the castle(within walking distance). There is Free Parking, Free Wifi, Air-conditioning, washing machine, and fully equipped kitchen. There is also a big balcony with a fantastic views. Jona's parents are so gentle and respectful. They showed us the true Albanian Hospitality. They take care of all details from start to end. Overall, the house ambience gives you a feeling of the old nice times, along with gentle family. Definitely we will book there again. Highly Highly recommended.

HungaryIt is a bit tricky to find as there is no signs of the house at all, but the hosts were waiting for us outside and showed us the way. They even sent the location via WhatsApp. Be careful as Google Maps might lead you the wrong way. We took a taxi and the driver had to do some detours to get there.
The hosts were the nicest Albanians we’ve met! They are super nice even though they didn’t speak English at all! It is an old couple but they really are the nicest people. We had a welcome snack and drink when we arrived. There was cold water in the fridge. The room was clean and cozy, had working AC. The location was good too as it is very close to the old town and the castle. The shower is really nice too and I loved the mirrors.

AlbaniaEverything was perfect. The owners ( Landa and Thomas)were so sweet and very welcoming. The house was very clean, comfortable, and very warming. We felt like we were in our home. The location was very convenient, but little bit hard to find it. Jona was very helpful to explain how to get there. I would recommend everyone one to select this house and I’ll definitely choose it again. Once again Thank you Landa, Thoma dhe Jona for help us to have a wonderful time at Gjirokaster! See you next time

TurkeyPerhaps the best hosts I've ever encountered during my travels. They were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The thoughtful gesture of having the fireplace lit upon our arrival was greatly appreciated on a rainy January day, and they generously provided ample firewood throughout our stay. The accommodation was perfectly clean, comfortable, and cozy, offering lovely views. I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Gjirokastër.

United KingdomNo complaints!
Jona and Thoma were wonderful generous hosts and the house is well appointed with lovely views. You have everything you could need and it’s good value. The narrow streets were interesting driving in, but they sent a helpful video to find the garage, and helped us out when we left. Lovely welcome with home produce, and great to feel like you experience a tiny bit of real Albanian life. Would happily have paid some extra for a breakfast option as the house is a walk away from town.

The apartment is beautiful and incredibly comfortable. It's really like being in someone's home. Both me and my friend had probably the best night's sleep there. The apartment was clean and was very well looked after. The location is also great, super close to the castle and the bazaar, which is then close to the other sights to see in gjirokaster. Also, phenomenal value for money.
