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.).

Ask for the parking directions before arriving. If you come by car, DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE MAPS/WAZE, it will lead you to narrow and very steep streets. It's possible that your car will get damaged (we had a rental). There are decent roads to get there but Google maps but it won't likely be Google maps choice. Ask for directions to the hotel before arrival.
Cheap and with good views.

The water pressure was not good and the breakfasts are 'traditional', but seriously, you are almost at the top of a mountain! Wedid three nights and that is probably a max
Brilliant location and the staff were great. Had good recommendations and were generally very helpful. Room was fantastic with stunning views and close to the old district.

We really enjoyed staying at House H Çela. The room was spacious and full of light, with a beautiful view of the castle through the large windows. It felt very peaceful and comfortable, with lovely wooden details that gave it charm. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the sights, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

The location is great, even though arriving there by car was challenging. I was however contacted prior and sent a description of how to drive (google maps with several points) which was super helpful. Unfortunately my map was a bit wonky, but we ended up doing a quick video call and i was actually almost there. The response time was really good. Great view over the castle from the balcony, breakfast was great to start into the day and they recommended me the best ways to explore. The rooms were well temperated too

Staying at House H Çela was a wonderful experience. The room had a warm and inviting feel, with wooden details and big windows that offered an amazing view of the castle. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed. The house is located in a quiet part of town, yet very close to all the main attractions.

We had a fantastic stay at House H Çela. The house is beautifully maintained with a traditional feel and offers one of the best views of the castle in town. It’s in a quiet area but very close to everything you might need. The hospitality was excellent, and we felt truly welcome from the moment we arrived. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Gjirokastër.

Our fault, we didn’t notice there was no air conditioning and it was very hot. We expected the apartment to have a kettle or some means to make a cup of tea but there was only a fridge and sink.
Location was perfect, very comfortable, nice host good breakfast on the verandah overlooking the castle, lovely

Parking places are difficult to find, but this is understandable because the city is very old, with narrow roads.
Great location, especially great view from the balcony. Beautiful house and gracious hostess.
