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 StatesEverything was wonderful.
A perfect 10 star. This hostel excelled all the way. The family that runs the place is so kind, hospitable, accommodating, and attentive. They even took time to take some of us to their family farm where we picked fruit and ate together. Their hostel is above their bar which is another wonderful feature should you need to order any snacks or drinks really quick. Super quiet and clean. I highly recommend this hostel.

South AfricaOnly the shower was downstairs in 'restaurant' but as a hostel dweller we make the most of everything
Manuel helped me carry my heavy bag up the stairs, her brother gave me a lovely coffee when I left early in the morning, the waiter let me pay for my coke after I drew money. All these acts of kindness is what makes this Hostel special. Thank you

The family that are hosting are just wonderful people. The hostel itself was quite open (no split rooms), but everyone was really considerate when people are sleeping. The restaurant attached had the most amazing pesto wrap. The breakfast was a croissant and coffee or fresh juice which was perfect for me.

BulgariaThe only thing I didn't like much, but it wasn't that big of a problem, the showers can be used only during certain hours.
Wow...just wow. Super easy to find. Awesome location. Everything you need is nearby. The place is super spacious, clean facilities, and what a terrace with what a view....omg And then the staff, so sweet, so wonderful and helpful, really accomodating and gracious. The best ones I met on this trip. The manager was also really nice and looking forward to make anyone feel as comfortable as possible.

RomaniaNo lounge but you can stay at the bar the whole day, reading, writing, or doing everything you want to. So, no complains. A perfect place to enjoy Shkoder.
Family run hostel and bar at the very center of the historical area of Shkoder. A big bar at the second level of an well restored building and a big dorm at the third level just under the roof. Very quiet after 10 pm, very clean, with AC during the night, you can have a perfect rest. Very tasty breakfast. I realy enjoyed my stay with that Albanian family. I hope I will be back next summer. Thank you my friends.

United Arab EmiratesSooooo spacious and clean. The staff and owners are really nice and very accommodating. The location is right in the middle of town centre. Close to shops, restaurants and only 3 mins away from bus stop. Very convenient. I happened to see one of the most highly rated hostels during my stay in Shkoder and Im glad, I chose Symphony Hostel instead. A lot better if you want it less crowd, quiet and spacious. Even the rooftop balcony is a nice place just to relax and wind down.

MexicoI wish there were some curtains around the bed for a tiny bit of privacy. And also, to block out the early morning sunlight that came in through the windows.
The location was on the semi pedestrian Street, just across from the real pedestrian street, just behind the Rostafa Hotel. A great place to be, very central, and they had good bikes to rent. Although of above the bar, we heard absolutely nothing at night. It’s totally closed off from the rest of the building.

I found this place on Booking when I decided to extend my stay in Shkodër, and it ended up being my favourite hostel here. The owners are incredibly kind and always check to make sure you're comfortable, making it feel like home. Since it was the low season, the atmosphere was nice and quiet. The bed was very clean and comfortable. Having a coffee bar downstairs was super convenient for me, as I work online and starting my day with a good coffee was fantastic. I ended up booking another week here!
