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.).

CanadaWould have loved a bit of info from the staff when I first arrived, explain the area, things to do, recommendations etc like most other hostels offer. As a solo traveller I would have liked some hostel events as they have the perfect space for it and easy to meet people that way. Air conditioning is also blasting in the rooms sometimes it’s a bit too cold
Great location, two streets back from beach, gorgeous modern facilities, and nice chill out areas

AustriaThe AC was way way to cold, I sadly got a sore throat from the dry cold air. To be fair it wasn’t the staffs fault, someone demanded it to be colder, she was a real Karen.
Great people and nice area to sit together, the staff are super friendly and the amenities are really good. Beds super comfortable and the locations is super good.

GermanyI will say the toilet it was so small and you barely have time to use it, because it was a lot of people , most of the time someone was inside and you have to wait a bit longer to use it. except that . it was very amazing hostel
Als a solo Travel this was the Best Hostel, i had stay in, the Location was direkt in the City Center, Everything was Close by. And the workers was really nice and the people was really great, helpful, got to meet new friends, who we all Late Open a WhatsApp Gruppe on the Name of the Hostel 😊 definitely a place I will stay again if I visit sarande in the future:)) thanks to the host and the amazing people who was there during my 5days at Vega 43 Hostel. You guys make my solo trip wonderful. Also there is happy hour 🍻 cocktail time which starts everyday at 9pm definitely worth trying out they happy hour drinks which is not that expensive 4 to 6€.

AustraliaEverything was great - note that there are only two showers and two toilets but I never ran into any issues or had to cue.
Extremely comfortable bedding, a/c temp was perfect (managed by hosts which I think is better), great showers and overall great facilities. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel at home and will help you with whatever you need. During my stay, I met some incredible people at Vega 43 because of the great social atmosphere and communal hang out space outdoors. I kept extending my stay because I didn’t want to leave - the best hostel in Sarande!

ColombiaI suggest adding some drawers or a space to place belongings while using the sink, as it currently feels a bit uncomfortable and cramped.
I got to know the area very well and can say that the hostel’s location is excellent. The man and woman on the morning shift were very kind to me and allowed me to check in early since I was very tired from my trip; they were very empathetic. Xhuli, the guy on the night shift, was also always willing to help. The breakfast was delicious and the cleanliness always perfect. Everything in the hostel works very well—don’t hesitate, this is your best choice in Saranda!

ItalyOne of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The common area is beautiful and perfect for meeting and making friends with other guests, perhaps over a local beer, sold at a great price at reception! The attention to detail is immediately striking: comfortable beds with privacy curtains and individual lights for each bed. The showers are excellent and spacious, the environment is clean, and the hostel's location is excellent, just steps from the bus station and the sea. The staff was fantastic throughout my stay; July at check-in was very helpful and kind, she made me feel at home! For these reasons, I decided to extend my stay longer than I had planned! I will definitely be back soon, Faleminderit🫶

AustraliaSafety a large issue - the door into the dormitary has no lock and is kept open 24/7. This theoretically allows anyone to enter the room from the street - of particular concern as the front of the hostel is used as a 24/7 carpark and there are people not associated with the hostel coming and going at all hours. Could be easily resolved by having a key/swipe access card into the dormitory for guests of the hostel only. Bathroom is very poorly designed, only x2 bathrooms/toilets (x1 male, x1 female) for the entire hostel. Shower floods the entire floor quickly and there is no where to place clothing to keep it dry. Basin impossible to use/wash face in due to being very shallow. Sound could be an issue of nighttime if guests were talking in the common area.
Hostel was beautiful, incredibly modern and kept very clean. Staff did not speak much english but were warm and hospitable. Breakfast changed daily and was good (although small), and started from 8:30am. Generously sized lockers provided (with key). Beds very comfortable and curtain provided privacy. Location was 10/10, only a 5 minute walk to the beach, nearby restaurants and supermarkets. Aircon good. Would stay again.
