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 reviewThere was a fridge and freezer in the room! It was close to the centre which was great for exploring.
Very creaky - the beds and doors disrupted sleep a bit but for the good price I think it is expected in a cool old building

Verified reviewComfortable beds, amazing rooftop terrace, good views and location. We were the only guests at the hostel
The bathroom would be unpleasant if it was full. There are three showers and toilets for 30+ guests. The kitchen has been permanently closed and is now another dorm room. Dinner is very expensive in this city

Verified reviewSome of the best showers (there is a door, hooks and curtain which separates your clothes from the risk of water spraying on them). Also very comfortable beds and nice and quiet.
It is worth nothing there isn’t a communal socialising space, aside from the roof top, which wasn’t an option due to the rain.

Verified reviewA nice place very close to the old city but far enough for quietness :) the beds have curtains for privacy. And everywhere is spotless clean.
No kitchen available, at least a kettle in the entrance would be more than good :)

Verified reviewIts a good location, not too far from bus stop, I had 10kg backpack and not very fit but was to walk up the hill. You can't avoid hills in Gjirokaster! Not too far to walk up hill to old town town or down to new town (really good sweet pasty shop there!) It was very clean, beds very comfortable and you have bedside table and PowerPoint and bottom bunk has privacy curtain. There is also drawers at bottom of bunk that you can lock your backpack in. Our room also had mini fridge!!! I thought this was great, keep your water bottles chill overnight for your walks during the day and also putting any left over sweet pastries for later 😂 Didn't have warm shower first day but next day it was good. The shower has large ceiling head and a hand held shower head as well! There is a hair dryer to use as well which is helpful.
The Terrance is the only common area. Unfortunately no other common area or kitchen (no utensils to use). There is no staff on desk unless you happen to come middle of day when they are cleaning. But she lives nearby and the wifi password and her number are on the door. So no one to ask any questions about buses or any other simple questions travellers normally have.

Verified reviewThe woman who checked me in was really nice. Bed in the dorm was comfortable. The whole place was very clean.
There is no common room where to hang out. No kitchen, so you can't even have your breakfast. Bad sewage smell in the bathroom. No one at reception to get some info.

Verified reviewOur hosts were very friendly! A very kind family. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the heater was great on a chilly night. We loved the balcony; from there, you can see snow-covered mountains (we went in the winter) and the bell tower. The room is close to the castle and old bazaar, and the neighborhood is quiet. Thank you Sheri & Medio!
The kitchen happened to be closed for renovations; however, Gjirokaster has plenty of delicious and affordable restaurants, so no issues there!
