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 reviewClean and tidy house in a peaceful neighbourhood. Compared to other houses good point to have a spacious kitchen (maybe you need to ask if you need more specific bowls). We really liked the garden with the sitting area, but there is also a living room inside. Good wifi. If you are afraid of dogs, (especially if you are after a bike vs. dog attack) write the owner to guide the dogs before you arrive, otherwise it will run out of the gate to "greet" you. They have 2 dogs, they are nice, just good to know.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay. The room was a good size and the beds were very comfortable. Having AC and curtains was also a plus as it meant we got a really good night's sleep. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. The garden was lovely too and we enjoyed sitting out to eat or read. The location was fantastic.
The kitchen was very basic and made cooking a bit difficult. It was quite loud with music playing, not the owners fault though.

Verified reviewThe apartment had everything we needed. Quiet and comfortable with the city center in walking distance. Especially the garden right at our doorstep was lovely. Communication with the host went perfectly and we didn't feel like anything was missing. Extra points for the two lovely dogs! :)

Verified reviewDorjan the host was very friendly and helpful. He showed us around and provided fresh watermelon and pear from the garden. Delicious. The room was simple but nice, the beds were comfy and the air conditioning was effective. The apartment has three bedrooms, but we were the only guests so had the place to ourselves. The shared bathroom was excellent, there is no breakfast available but we made our own breakfast in the small kitchen. Great location as it was only a ten minute walk into the centre of town.
It was all lovely, a kitchen knife and a chopping board would have been useful, but these are tiny details. Not really important.

Verified reviewThe host and family made me feel welcome on my first night to Albania from the United States. The place was welcoming and laid back. If you are considering traveling by yourself or even with family... I strongly recommend this place. Stay at the Happy Corner Guest House!
That the time went by too fast. Once I arrived, it felt like time jumped ahead. Meeting the host and the family felt like a sense of community.... I cannot say enough positive things.

Verified reviewBeautiful garden, cute dog, good location, helpful owner
The room and the facilities are rather basic. Only a see-through curtain to the balcony where all guests can go. In the end the host wanted us to pay in Euro which we clearly did not have at hand in Albania and which wasn't mentioned before (neither on booking nor while talking to him before). So he wanted us to exchange lek in Euro (which costs a fee). However, we didn't do so and payed in Lek as it is announced on booking.com. It finally seemed fine but this was very uncomfortable and annoying.
Hi Verena, I’m sorry for the inconvenience regarding the payment in Euro. It is common practice and the way we transact through Booking as our fees are also charged in Euros. You were made aware of this at the start of your 2 night stay and had plenty of time to go to an exhange or withdraw Euros at a bank (Euros are very accessible across Albania). We are not an exchange service, and the fees you avoided, you passed on to us. Overall, we hope you enjoyed your stay and wish you happy travels on the rest of your trip!

Verified reviewI have been to Shkodër many times, but I really like this accommodation, it offers much more for a decent price. It is close to the main pedestrian street, has parking secured by cameras, and a large yard. The owner is a wonderful guy who is ready to help in everything. His family is also very kind. There was also a nice evening gathering with the other guests. I stayed 4 nights.
