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 reviewThe owner was wonderful — she thought of everything and had everything ready for our arrival. She welcomed us with cold water, dessert, and freshly washed seasonal fruits. The room was clean, cozy, and even had a small terrace with a lovely view. Breakfast was generous and delicious — we truly felt at home and treated like queens!
The toilet was downstairs, but it really wasn’t a problem for us.

Verified reviewImagine having a sweet albanian aunt and getting to stay in her nicest room with a view over the river and bridge. And the next morning she makes you a great and elaborate breakfast. Not a hotel experience, something nicer.

Verified reviewGreat communication from the start. Great location in the center of town. Perfect instructions to find the place. Easy payment. Nice large room. The decoration is rustic but what a view and many windows! Very clean. Very good breakfast. Their spinach burek was the best one ever!!! Very good quality price!
It felt a bit like the owners, a friendly elderly couple, was a little too present. Like if they were checking on us. That's the only thing I must "criticise".

Verified reviewGreat location and the host was very hospitable. Breakfast was awesome as many others have said.
I booked the place because it was supposed to have parking. What I learnt is, you have to find a spot on the main road which is already very busy and hard to get after a certain time. The place is not easy to find and needs more signage on the path. If you don't like climbing a lot of stairs then you should consider alternative accommodation.

Verified reviewSuper central location in old town, lovely hosts, wonderful homemade breakfast. The balcony from our room had a great view.
We have nothing to complain about! But it’s worth being aware of that since this is a very old house, there is just one bathroom shared by the two rooms that the property consists of, and it’s downstairs.

Verified review(stay in April) This place is out of this world!!! The view from the balcony is amazing, the host is fabulous - constant snacks and drinks! - the breakfast was delicious and the beds really comfortable! It's one of the house of the Unesco 1000 windows - you can buy a postcard of where you stay, amazing!! It's an old traditional house so lots of stairs, and the extremely clean bathroom is downstairs.
The was a club night in the more modern part of town which was noisy til midnight, I put in ear plugs though so no problem, and absolutely nothing to do with the accom, just a thing of Berat I guess.

Verified reviewWe loved staying here in this very traditional house. The little balcony is a bonus along with the main room being very large with amazing views. Mikel and Georgia are the most wonderful hosts. I think it’s worth staying here for her amazing breakfast (the best in Albania we think) and the great location with the outside lane made so beautiful with Mikel’s flower garden. You will not be disappointed. Fantastic value for money. I hope someday I can come back and stay again. Thank you for making our stay so special.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is located in the most beautiful alley in berat. The Lady who runs the guesthouse is a lovely and sensitive person, who offers an excellent service and a rich and homemade breakfast (the best we had during our whole trip!). The ancient builing and rooms in the appartment are like a timetravel, what lifts the whole berat experience a level up. The rooms are lovely decorated with an eye to details, beds super comfortable (also the best we had). We would definetifely come again. Well earned 10/10 points for this cozy homestay.
Recommendation: Make sure to bring earplugs for a better sleep, as it might be noisy from the street below in the morning (but for us this was no problem) :)
