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 reviewWhat you see in the pictures is what you get. The room in beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. All the finishes and bedding are high quality. The owner is making improvements every day and it is evident he cares about the quality of your experience/stay at his place. It's a beautiful place! We loved our room and would stay there again! 1 thing to keep in mind: you have to walk up to the property via the castle entry, it's not super far, but can be if your luggage is heavy. Be prepared to carry your luggage. The rock pathway is slick even in dry, not rainy weather. Wear appropriate shoes.
The air conditioning is problematic. He has brand new units and systems in place, so it may be a matter of fine tuning the new system. The room only cooled 1 degree (from 24 to 23) the whole time we were there, despite it being on and lowered to 19. While he is working on figuring out what the issue is, it would be really helpful to have fans to offer the guests just to have some sort of air flow in the room. There was not screens on the windows, so I did not want to open, plus it I was very hot outside. He kindly offered us a room change to the lower floor, which was cooler in general and also the units seemed to work well, but we wanted to keep the room with the castle view.

Just need to take care on the cobblestones to the hotel as extremely slippery but well worth it.

Verified reviewWhat a fabulous space that is inside the castle. The host was very helpful, with great customer service, very clean rooms, with an outdoor common area, indoor bar and seating area, and a beautiful patio to relax with a drink in the evening or eat a great breakfast overlooking the valley. All this and a 5 min walk to shopping and restaurants.
It was a little hard for us to find, (that may have been my navigating) but with communication from the host, we found it and he helped us with the parking.

Verified reviewIt was very authentic, the owner refurbished old Ottoman homes to a wonderful hotel. It is located inside of the castle, and fully embedded in the Medieval history of Albania. The staff was extremely welcoming, and the recommended restaurant for dinner is great.
Bear in mind to call the hotel before parking as it is a bit challenging.
