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 reviewEverything was super clean, the owners were extremely kind and the lady prepared a super tasty and nice breakfast for us. The location is amazing for relax and walking around and it’s very easy to park in the entrance.

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful find! This place is run by a lovely family who made our stay truly special. Our group of nine booked three rooms, and we were all impressed with how clean and well-maintained everything was. Having a private bathroom and Wi-Fi in each room was incredibly convenient. The family's hospitality really stood out. The mother was so helpful with everything we needed, and her homemade breakfasts were a delicious start to our mornings. They even have a small market right there, so we could easily grab water and snacks. Since we were traveling by car, the location was perfect—just a quick 3-to-5-minute drive into Berat's Old Town. P.S. If you're looking for a great dinner spot, we loved Taverna Panorama! All in all, a fantastic experience. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
Everthing was great!

Verified reviewEverything was nice, comfortable and clean. Tha breakfast was the traditional one from the area, very good. The lady who run the house didnt speak English but she made her best to understand us and communication wasn't a problem. The guesthouse is a bit far from the city centre so I would recommend to stay there as long as you have a car.

Verified reviewThe accommodation has everything you need for a pleasant night: it's in a quiet location, the rooms are well-equipped (including AC and a mini-fridge), and they are clean and well-maintained, with the sheets and towels smelling wonderful! It is evident that the rooms are recently refurbished, with new materials and furniture. I suggest adding a shower curtain or a glass divider to prevent the bathroom from getting completely wet, though I understand that having an unprotected shower might be common in Albania, as we encountered the same setup in other accommodations. The young man who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful, even assisting us with printing our boarding passes. Breakfast is simple and likely reflects a typical Albanian breakfast (cucumber, tomato and peppers, fried pastries, white cheese, boiled egg, juice, and watermelon). I recommend including butter and jam, as well as coffee. However, the vegetables and watermelon seemed to come from the house garden, and the egg appeared to be from the chickens in the coop (the natural alarm clock of the house)! The street where the guesthouse is located is not very busy, making it easy to park the car there. This guesthouse is about a 20/25 minute walk from the center of Berat. We went there for a stroll and dinner, and it was very peaceful.
We liked everything! We only have suggestions for improvements, which were already mentioned in the positive points.
