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 reviewBreakfast was amazing, the room was comfortable with a nice balcony & mountain view, everything was very very clean. Would definitely recommend. We stayed a second night at another accommodation in Theth for the same price and Serenity was definitely way better value for money. If it's available and you want something in this price range, book this one!
We asked for the beginning of the hiking trail (Valbona pass) and they pointed us to the back of the church. Better start your trail from behind Theth centre.

Verified reviewThe breakfast, the staff and the room were perfect.
As in many places in Albania they accept obly cash. They don't have a lower price if you do a "long stay". The price per night is always the same.

Verified reviewVery nice breakfast. The team was really nice.
It is important to check whether your room is in the top floor - ours was not :(
Thank you for your opinion we really appreciate it! Just to let the other guests know TRIPLE ROOM it's not in the top floor, THE ROOMS WITH THE BALCONY are in the top floor, (and about the room i texted and I told you that the room it's not in the top floor but anyway thank you!) 😊

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean, everything was new, and the location in Theth was perfect. Our room had an amazing view of the mountains and the river. There was also air conditioning, which was great on warm days. The breakfast was delicious, and the owners were incredibly kind and helpful. One small example: we accidentally broke a lamp and wanted to pay for it, but they refused to accept any money. Very kind people! We 100% recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when we come back to Theth.
Thank you very much!🙏🏼

Verified reviewWe had a perfect stay. The room is super clean, modern, with everything you need- refrigerator, air-conditioner, great bed and a balcony. The view from the room is amazing!! The mountains and the river. The family that runs the place is so sweet and helpful! The breakfast they serve is absolutely amazing, so big and so tasty. Everything is local and very fresh. The location of the house is also very good- super close to the river, to the trail to the waterfall and to many other walking trails. Close enough to everything but away from all the cars and the noise in the middle of Theth. We loved it. Thank you so much. 12/10!!!
Nothing

Verified reviewBeautiful room and view, comfortable beds, good bathroom. The staff brought us coffee when we arrived and we had an incredible breakfast on one of the days. The other day the staff made us a sandwich when we did the bigger hike. Able to drink the tap water here!
No AC in the room which got quite warm in late June. The mini fridge in our room fridge also didn’t work. The guesthouse is about a 10-15 minute walk from the center of theth where there are more restaurants and also the start of the hike. More up front communication about the lunch and other information about theth would have been helpful!
Thank you!

Verified reviewWe spent 5 nights in September at Serenity Guesthouse. Hosts are very hospitable, kind and put a lot of heart to make the guests feel welcome. We could check in at 10 am, host prepared the room after previous guests very quick. Every day we had delicious breakfast from local products - fresh cheese, fruits, vegetables - always at the time we asked the day before. Additionally, we received huge packed lunch to take away on the day we went on the long trekking! Location is very good, close to the restaurants and few minutes walk from the center. We would definitely recommend to stay here, we felt truly taken care of. Faleminderit! :)
The house is brand new, so some small elements were missing like bathroom hook, shower curtain, chandelier etc. I guess it will be finished soon and it doesn't affect the stay in any way.

Verified reviewGood location for hiking in Theth + wonderful view of the mountains + really nice host, even if his English is not the best + good breakfast
The weather got really cold, when we were there and there is neither heating or air conditioning, so we got sick (but were allowed to leave early and pay less) - rooms looked unfinished - breakfast was never on the time you choose with your host, so if you wanna go early on a hike, you need to order breakfast 30min earlier

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. The owner is amazing. Even though he speaks limited English he goes out of his way to help you as much as possible. We arrived before check in time and he went out of his way to get the room cleaned asap for us (even though we were happy to wait) and offered us food and drink while we waited! The breakfast was huge and tasty and he even offered to make us a sandwich for our trek! The room was comfy and clean and the location fairly central. I would stay here again.

Even though the location was great it took us time to find it as the location mentioned on booking.com didn’t seem correct and you can’t find serenity guesthouse on google maps so getting it added to there would be a great improvement
