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.).

Wish people would take slightly better care of shared bathroom areas, but that’s on other guests not the hostel itself.
This is a gem of a hostel for solo travelers - laid back vibe, comfortable space, great value. Enes and Xhulio are fantastic and can help with literally anything you might need. While the location isn’t as central, Shkodër is not huge and you can reach the main square/streets in less than 15 minutes.

Aircon was on only during the night. Lockers for personal belongings would be useful.
Amazingly kind and helpful staff as they arranged the Theth hike for me. Location was a bit outside of the center but still walkable. I loved the paintings on the walls. Lots of bathrooms and showers. A big common area and a kitchen.

The owners make sure everything you need is answered to and are caring. The room has great air conditioning and the football is put on outside on a big tv. I had food poisoning for a restaurant and they helped so much with extending my stay in the same bed and even offered to go to the local pharmacy to get me something to help.

Completely new Hostel with an amazing vibe. Location is perfect super close to the center and attractions (it’s in a chilled area so you can rest easily). Facilities and internet connection perfect and it’s also a great spot if you would like to stay and work from here (they have a super nice area on the 1st floor with all you might need to work). Simple bedrooms but perfect for a night rest. And the staff is amazing and super helpful.

Amazing place! Staff was so great and helpful with booking buses to Theth and planning your stay in Theth. Rooms were very nice and clean, common area and the outside area before the hostel great to meet people and talk/chill. Best thing about the hostel is the vibe. They put so much effort into people feeling welcome, being able to connect (lots of activities etc.) and being able to explore the city (recommendations, bike rentals). Would always come back! Special shoutout to the staff (Xhulio and Enes), they always try to improve the hostel as well as your stay!

Everyone was super friendly, and the staff were super helpful 😊 It's a new hostel and you can really see the dedication and passion that was put into making the place feel as welcoming and homey as possible. A lot of fun options for day trips and the staff are very knowledgeable about things to do in the area. Would 100% stay again :)
