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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThere is no parking. At times the sharing room can be a bit noisy at night. But rest all is good.
The property is just a 5-minute walk from the Old Bazaar, making it a great location. It’s also very budget-friendly. We had booked a double room for two nights, which was spacious and comfortable. Yusuf, our main point of contact, was incredibly helpful and even gave us a lovely upgrade. The city center and the bus stop for Tirana Airport are about a 15-minute walk away, and most major sights are easily accessible on foot. They also have a dorm hostel if you wish to book a cheaper stay.

HungarySo besides the room, I have no complaints at all. But the room, which I called a bunker. That was bad. Main reason: it has no windows and any source of air circulation. It was a white painted box with 2 single beds, a sofa and a not working tv. I think it should be marked as a no window room as in that case I wouldn't have booked it. Also just one big lamp, so either you sit in unnatural bright light, or total darkness in your room without any fresh air. Also the blanket itself looked super used (rest was clean). In the kitchen utensils were really dirty, i had to wash them before using it. So it wasn't a bad stay, but because I wasn't informed the room has no windows, kinda left very mixed feelings.
- great location, center is super close, shops, cafes, restaurant nearby. The private room was in a nearby building, not where the reception is. - super nice staff, Shirley was very nice and also the other lady. Check-in was easy. - Proper and clean bathroom, stove and fridge in the kitchen. - Extremly good price.

JapanThey won't offer you a hairdryer if you stay at a private room. If you want to use it, you have to go the dormitory part. We were assigned the huge room, which was really comfortable aside from cleanness. I saw some pieces of bread on the floor😅

CroatiaBut the toilet wasn't working both days I was there, and that was a lil bit scary and definitely unconvenient, I thought about asking for a refund, but I didn't. Also, I booked it because it said there was a bath, that was a lie, there is no bath. And the furniture kinda old.
The staff was amazing, the nice Chinese lady was super adorable and she was my roomate. Everybody in there was a character, the location was nice, central, with a lot of shops around.

PortugalWe had quiet hours starting at 22:00 not to disturb the neighbors while the neighbors were banging on the walls on and off from 2:00 to 4:00 am, there was no heat in the common areas and the room is far from the front desk so hopefully you don't run out of toilet paper
Cheap room for a one night stay not too far from the center

SpainMattresses are old and not really comfortable. A few doors don't open and close properly, also in bathrooms. In winter everything is super cold because there is no heating (just in dorms) and the front door stays always open. Check in can be a bit chaotic because there is no reception for the guests to arrive. Who actually controls the AC? If you would fix the doors and especially throw away the masses of random stuff that is lying around you would easily increase your rating by 30%
Good location, close to everything, grocery store nearby. Good social vibe, common areas. Really cheap price. There is a kitchen with enough to cook. You can pay cash (Lek/Eur) or by card (+30 Lek)

UkraineWe booked a room with a balcony. Upon arrival a lady at the reception said that our room was already occupied by someone else who had extended their stay, so only a simple room was available. We had paid extra for a room with a balcony so we insisted on getting a proper room. Then she said, "That's not possible, do you have another place to stay?" It was very rude from her side. We decided to contact booking.com to solve the problem and eventually she found the keys to a room with a balcony, which was surprisingly available.
Nice view from a room with a balcony

United KingdomThe Booking.com advert over promises on several aspects of what the hostel offers & needs reviewing. No bar, no walking tours, no bathrobes or free parking (it's just street parking). The advert needs to be more reflective of what the offering is, which is simple, cheap hostel accommodation.
The location is really good with lots of grocery shops, bakeries, bars & restaurants nearby. The manager, Diane, who is only a volunteer, is fantastic. She's completely overworked but does a brilliant job. For what the cost is it delivered but it has the potential to be a lot better.
