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 reviewThe toilet was not clean , I also thought that when we book for a double room we get a separate toilet but that was not the case.
"Thank you for your feedback. Our bathrooms are cleaned regularly and we always keep them in good condition. We would also like to clarify that our hostel does not offer private bathrooms in double rooms, as stated in the description. If you are looking for luxury and full privacy, a 5-star hotel may be a better option. For travelers who want a social, cozy, and affordable stay, our hostel is the right choice."

Verified reviewIt's good for a few nights, the staff is friendly, there's air conditioning, the room was clean and a beautiful view from the balcony!
To get to the hostel there is a very steep climb, the mattress is a little thin, but for a few nights there are no problems, the bathroom was not clean and could have been a little more careful, and the shower has a bad pipe and it sprays water everywhere..

Verified reviewLazy Roo Hostel was the highlight of my stay in Sarandë. Bajo, the owner, is incredibly friendly and considerate, always making sure guests feel at home. The hostel is spotless, has the best location (less than 10 mins to the beach), and offers a delicious free breakfast. The rooftop is offers an amazing view to the city beach and is perfect for sunsets, drinks, and meeting travelers from all over the world. Highly recommended to anyone willing to socialize 🙂
Well-located just a few minutes from the beach, with a rooftop perfect for sunsets and socializing

Verified reviewI stayed at a hostel and I was really happy with everything! The view was amazing, and the rooftop was a great place to relax. The bathrooms and rooms were very clean and well maintained. The room had air conditioning, the kitchen was fully equipped, and there was even a convenient laundry area. The hostel had two barbecues .. one on the rooftop and one downstairs .. which made it perfect for socializing and enjoying the atmosphere. The staff was absolutely perfect !!! Super friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. I totally recommend this place!

Verified reviewLocated close to the bus stop in and out of Sarande. Working AC, lockers for each bed.
Honestly do not understand the good reviews here. Rickety, uncomfortable spring beds with no curtains. 1 toilet/shower on the landing for about 20 people. Rooms have huge windows which seems like it would be nice, but actually make it extremely hot + bright in the morning (no real curtains). We found it dirty - there wasn't even soap in the bathroom. No atmosphere. The two hostel workers weren't unfriendly but not particularly helpful either. (I asked if he could recommend a beach and he said "just search it online"). The scooter we rented from their friend was super beat up and given to us with an empty tank. We couldn't wait to get out.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t fully enjoy your stay, though we’d like to clarify a few things for future guests. Our hostel has 6 bathrooms which are cleaned multiple times a day and are always stocked with soap and other essentials. The curtains on the beds are in good condition and used daily without any issues by most guests. As for the atmosphere, it can vary depending on the people staying at the moment — but most of our guests appreciate the social and welcoming vibe we work hard to create. We’re always here to help and improve, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.

Verified reviewThe helpful owner, the rooftop terrace
No air conditioning in some rooms, breakfast is very limited
Dear guest, You were given a room with air conditioning, and the breakfast we provide is very fair considering the low price of your stay. If someone expects luxury services, perhaps a 5-star hotel would be more suitable. We do our best to offer great value for budget travelers, and most of our guests are very happy with what they receive. Safe travels!
