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 reviewGood location, a few steps from the Old Bazaar, but far enough from the noise. Room looks freshly renovated. Amazing breakfast, served individually. Omelette, sausage, cheese, bread, cake, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, water melon, coffee, tea, juice. The family puts heart into service. It broke my heart to see how one of the visitors just came had a juice and left. She could have told in advance that she eats halal and wouldn’t eat anything. So much food into garbage. Be careful if you come by car: if GPS brings you from down the street up the hill do not do sharp u-turn, most likely you won’t manage to do it. I watched quite a few attempts, if you are not local, you will damage your car. Instead drive a but straight and then back up to park next to the hotel or ask a young man there for help: he receives visitors and is very helpful.
If I want to be picky: the bathroom is very small, though I read about it and it wasn’t a surprise to me. Also, there is no shower door, so no matter how careful I was, the water still spilled on the floor

Verified reviewDhoma e rehatshme dhe e pastër – Dhomat janë të pajisura me kujdes, me shtratë shumë të rehatshëm dhe dekor tradicional që i përshtatet karakterit të qytetit. Mëngjesi i shijshëm – Mëngjesi ishte i freskët dhe i shijshëm, me produkte lokale dhe ëmbëlsira tradicionale. Një fillim i përkryer për ditën! Pritja e ngrohtë – Pronarët janë super miqësorë dhe shumë të përfshirë, duke na dhënë këshilla të dobishme për vizitat në Gjirokastër. Qetësia dhe pamjet – Gjendet në një vend të qetë, larg zhurmës, por shumë afër qendrës historike. Pamjet nga ballkoni janë magjepëse! **** Pa dyshim, do të rekomandoja Bed and Breakfast Kotoni** për këdo që dëshiron të përjetojë autenticitetin dhe mikpritjen e Gjirokastrës. Do të kthehemi patjetër 😊😊😊

Verified reviewThe room beautifully combines traditional charm with modern comfort. It was exceptionally clean and cozy. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Old Bazaar. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was delicious, generous, and a great start to the day.

Verified reviewThis bed and breakfast is in a very good location within walking distance from the castle and bazaar with a nice view from the windows. Google maps wasn't very helpful in helping us reach the location and the map provided was difficult to follow however the hosts saved us parking just near the location which was ideal.

Verified reviewOur stay at B&B Kotoni was really good. The map provided to access the property upon arrival to Gjirokaster was a little confusing however once we located the property we had a great stay.

Verified reviewComfortable, very good bed and shower. Perfect location, right next to the bazaar. We could park right in front but there aren’t a lot of spots so not sure where we would park if the two places in front of the hotel were taken. Breakfast is good. Staff very friendly.
Shower will eventually wet the bathroom floor and toilet (small glass division to contain water). Breakfast was good but lots of industrial things, could be more natural, not close to the bed towns we had in our trip. Somewhat difficult to get to the hotel even with hotel instructions (that could be clearer), since Google maps won’t work accordingly. Room will get daylight early.

Verified reviewThis was a great little find. Family run property just five minutes from the bazaar and castle. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts spoke wonderful English and were very keen to offer information about the town. If you are offered a glass of raki, accept it as it’s homemade and super smooth!
