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 reviewKRIS guesthouse was a wonderful experience! The hosts were so friendly and kind. Breakfast was fantastic! The location is within the castle walls, which will delight kids especially. The rooms were very comfortable and immaculately clean. Our room even had brand new air-conditioner.

Verified reviewThe location, the architecture of the guest house, the breakfast and the staff. The staff was excellent and they made our stay very comfortable. The location is right at the top of the castle so very easy access to the castle. A nice walk down to the main city but a good steep walk back. So pls bear that in mind. Taxis available to drop off.
The wasps around us. Nothing that could be avoided I think but they really made us uncomfortable. Also lack of air conditioning in the second room of the family room made it uncomfortable when the door between the 2 rooms were closed. Feedback was provided to the owner who gracefully acknowledged it.

Verified reviewGreat simple breakfast. Cozy atmosphere, location is within the berat castle grounds. Nice serene location. Parking available in front and also before entrance to castle. Parking at property would mean a drive through the narrow castle grounds.
Payment - only cash option. Narrow roads and google maps( have to use berat castle or will take you wrong path) has the roads wrong.

Verified reviewSuper fun place to stay for a night or two up on the hill over Berat. Great to be up in the castle area in the early morning and late evening before & after the larger group of tourists are there. Beautiful views from the property patio. Solid breakfast in the morning enjoying the views & fresh air. Room is cozy & quiet in the old building making for a great night's sleep. Aircon kept it cool during the high heat when we stayed.
Internet was a bit weak in the room, but it's an old stone building so not too surprising. Worked well in the common areas. It is tricky to find if you don't read their messages (don't follow Google maps!).

Verified reviewLoved our two night stay at Kris guesthouse. Aldi was a great host, and cooked a delicious breakfast. The guesthouse was lovely and quiet and we loved the location for being able to walk around the castle in the evenings when it had cooled down to watch the amazing sunset.

Verified reviewWe stayed one night and the property is fantastic, right in the heart of Berat Castle. Once we worked out directions and got through the narrow lanes, it was a great stay.
Difficult to get to by car and beds were a little hard.
