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 reviewXhulian was a wonderful host. He was polite and quick to respond to inquiries. He offered assistance when I needed medical attention. He arranged for a taxi AND helped me with my luggage. Thank you! Inside the apartment it was as described. Good AC, quiet.
The immediate area and building are depressing.

Verified reviewThe property was metres away from the lake. It was spotless, had great air con, cotton bedding & a great bathroom & kitchen facilities. The service was very good for an apartment booking. With the young manager available to arrange keys, walk around the property & offer local tips. The fresh pears on arrival were a lovely surprise & delicious! I would recommend this property to friends & family.
I was glad I was shown to the property, I would have found it difficult to find & entering but as this was all explained in person on arrival for me it was straightforward. The apartment is in a large tower block but that seems pretty standard for the area & I did feel safe as a solo female as plenty of people walking around. I would have no issues booking again.

Verified reviewThe hosts are kind and professional, and very helpful. They were always there to respond and provide information with a description in excellent English, and links about whereabouts in the town. I will certainly plan to come back to Pogradec, and I will plan to stay in their apartment.

Verified reviewOwner brother made a check-in after 22 and was helpful. Flat is new. Bathroom shines and is roomy. Towels were 2 for one person. We could dry clothes on drying line outside of window. It is near main costal street but not on it. Not noisy. Cartdrom and restaurans are near. It is good value for price.
Shower and toilet is not separated but it seems local standard. We missed kettle and clothespins. Some flats around are unfinished. Main door was hard to lock.
Thank you very much for your feedback Petr. You are always welcomed to our appartment. By now the main door is locked easily, I followed your advice of oiling the lock a bit. Since the building is new, most of the appartements in our floor are not sold yet and so unfinished, but this gives us the advantage of being more silent in here. Thanks again and see you next time in Pogradec!
