Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AlbaniaThere are still things that could be added in the terrace, since the hostel was expanded recently it seems, and some guests follow rules better than the others, but that's somewhat to be expected i guess?
I really like this place. It has friendly atmosphere and Saimir, the host does his best to make everyone feel. I also want to mention the large terrace, where you can catch some amazing sunsets in the summer. Also, the kitchen(s) has gotten even better and has got everything you need, even if you were a master chef (which I'm not yet). I have seen quite a few hostels in Tirana, but Topo and Saimir go beyond anyone when it comes to fulfilling guest needs. Also, the price is great, especially here on Booking. It was not my my first time here and it wont be the last.

Host is a great guy who is extremely hospitable and gave me plenty of advice to enjoy my stay here. Was also a great location to arrange tours to other parts of Albania, Kosovo & North Macedonia

ColombiaAll was good. I would probably improve the cleaning and dryness of the shower/toilet.
The place is very quiet, you can just relax even if you are sharing space with more people. Also the owner is a really nice guy who is willing to help you with anything you need. It was nice to share some time with him, and he also brought a traditional Albanian drink which was very similar to one I use to drink in Colombia :) The best thing is that I could enter my heavi loaded bicycle to keep it in a safe place, thanks for that!

FranceAmazing hospitality, being received like family, in a comfortable, clean, quiet place. Just minutes after booking, the owner, Samir, responded immediately to my concerns about late arrival and reassured me, with easy and clear instructions.. I arrived around midnight. I appreciated a lot the particular care put by Samir to be quiet in order not to disturb the guests already sleeping. Check-in was quick and easy. I appreciate there were no lectures on a long list of house rules with attached scaring penalties in case of no compliance. He said there is one house rule: use common sense 😂 Room clean, bed comfortable, very quiet I had a great sleep. The big roof top terrace is gorgeous for me, I enjoyed the sunny day there. I would come back to this hostel just to enjoy having a meal there.

AlbaniaStaying at this hostel was like finding a home away from home. The atmosphere was welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the owner was super friendly and eager to help, going out of his way to make my stay exceptional. I felt quiet and safe there. The Wi-Fi reception was strong throughout the hostel, so I could work on my laptop without any issues. The common area with a terrace upstairs is another lovely place to relax, whether you’re working, cooking, or chatting with other guests. The room was cozy and clean, with free lockers for personal belongings. I was a little unsure about the shared bathrooms at first, but there were two of them, and they were always spotless and well-maintained, with plenty of hot water. It was actually much easier and more private than I expected! Towels, kitchen facilities, and even slippers are provided. The location is another bonus. It’s close to the city center but in a quiet area that allows for peaceful sleep. Everything you need (shops, pharmacies, fruit markets, cafes, and bakeries) was just a few minutes' walk away. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming place to stay!
