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.).

HungaryThis was our 7th - and the last - accommodation in Albania, but it was our best one! The location of the house is just perfect - literally in the middle of the old town, within 1 minute walk from the old bazaar, but tucked away in a little alleyway, away from the noise of the street, so the atmosphere is very cozy. Let’s talk about our host - she is a very lovely person, who gladly arranged breakfast for us at 6am because we wanted to see Berat before our flight back home in the afternoon. Very quick and polite communication via Booking, but in person you can see that she is a person who puts her heart and soul into this. The level of hospitality is definitely over the average, we felt very welcoming during our stay. The house - both from the outside and inside - is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious and absolutely filling. Overall, if you are looking for a perfect accommodation in Gjirokaster, you just found it!

FranceWe were there on a Saturday night, and it was really loud due to the nearby bars. But the music stopped around midnight.
We stayed one night in the ground floor room and honestly, everything exceeded our expectations. The house is even more charming than in the photos. It’s perfectly located in the bazar, central but tucked away enough to be peaceful. The room stays naturally cool thanks to the stone walls, so we didn’t even need to use the air conditioning. It was spotless and felt fresh without the need for daily cleaning. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, by far the best we’ve ever had in any accommodation !! Breakfast was truly excellent: generous, varied, and delicious, served on a lovely terrace with views of the castle. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They live upstairs and were always available if we had questions. Her husband even helped us carry our big suitcase from the parking lot to the accommodation. They also helped us book a taxi. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

The property is a small house, an old one with much traditional style. Our room was spacious with fine element and decoration from the traditional culture of the city. Our room had a view to a small and very delicious garden. The room and bathroom were sparkling clean. The sheets were white and clean and embroidered lace pillowcase. We enjoy very much the breakfast at the terrace. The terrace was small but comfortable with a impresive view to the castle. The lady of the house was very friendly and promt to our requests. We were feeling as at grandma's house. Everything was so impressive. I would return for sure.

AlbaniaI loved my stay! It was in the center but still secluded, it had a little veranda with a beautiful view that was so nice for us smokers. The breakfast the lovely lady cooked for us was better than most restaurant food we tried. The house was spacious, meticulously clean, newly furnished and it felt more like a home. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

SingaporeOn the weekends, it can be a little noisy as it's right above some bars and restaurants. Not the fault of the host though! That's what you get for being in the best location.
We couldn't have found a more perfect place to base ourselves in Old Gjirokaster. Although it's located in the middle of the old town, the Stone House is tucked away in a secluded corner, so you won't be bothered by the shops and restaurant traffic. Our unit also had its own entrance, with a lovely garden outside. The room had everything we needed for a two night stay, including an a/c that can also function as a heater (nights can get cold). As with other reviews, our breakfast was very lovely and generous - the table was filled to the brim! The host lives in a unit at the top, and is very kind and helpful. We needed an early morning taxi to the bus station and not only did she help arrange one, she got up early to pack breakfast for us and waited for the taxi to come with us. We really appreciated this, and managed to catch our bus in time!
