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 reviewAmazing place to stay! The hosts are so nice, they are always there to help you. The apartment was big, bautiful, with everything you need. It is just a couple of minutes walk to get to the city center. One of the best places we have ever stayed at.

Verified reviewHosts were fantastic. They helped us park the car in a reserved spot outside their home and were waiting for us when we arrived. They also kindly offered to do some washing for us free of charge when we returned from hiking in Theth - we were very grateful. Location is great - only a 4-5 minute walk to the main streets with all of the bars and restaurants and a great atmosphere at night. The room itself is basic but clean and quiet. Beds are comfortable and they provide robes and slippers which is a nice added touch. There is a fridge if you want to keep your drinks cool and also AC and wifi in the room. Would recommend if you are visiting Shkoder.
You can hear the church bells early in the morning - this wasn't a problem for us as we were up early but might affect you if you were wanting a lie in!
Thank you!!

Verified reviewThe hosts were warm and welcoming and the room was spacious and lovely.
During our stay, there was an awful sewer smell coming from the bathroom which spread to the bedroom. This made it difficult to sleep and enjoy the lovely room. It was difficult to understand how the hosts missed this as the smell was very strong. It was impossible to get a different room as it is peak season.
Thanks alot for the review ! But we dont understand one thing about the cleanliness because all these tears it has been 10 and it is one of the most thing that our property is known for .

Verified reviewA very clean and comfortable apartment. Plenty of wardrobe space, a good-quality mattress and a large balcony/terrace. Both the bedroom and the living room/kitchen have ACs. Also, the apartment is located in an excellent area - very close to the center but on a quiet street. There’s also a private parking option which is quite rare to find in Shkoder.
Thank you very much!! You are welcome anytime!!!

Verified reviewAfter visiting the town's castle, staying in the apartment was the highlight of Shkoder.
An ashtray and a small chair in the balcony would be great.

Verified reviewPeople running this guest house were very friendly. A kind woman helped us back out of their parking area as the road is narrow. This was appreciated. Great value for the price. Two levels, two beds and very clean. The young woman who checked us in was very friendly and accommodating. This is a true gem and we enjoyed our stay!
Everything was wonderful! Thank you!

Verified reviewA very spacious flat. The location was very good and within walking distance from the main attractions. The host allowed us to keep our suitcases until it was time for us to depart.
The bell of the church called very early in the morning.

Verified reviewCommunication was great with the host. We did have a bit of trouble identifying the location but we communicated with the host through Booking.com and they came out to meet us outside. There was a young woman that checked us in both nights. We stayed there one night and then left to do the Valbone to Theth hike. We were able to keep our vehicle parked there that night and returned the next day following the hike. The vehicle was in a secure location. The unit was incredible clean, sunny and lots of space. We were very comfortable there. There was a washing machine so we asked for a dry rack which was promptly delivered by the sweet young woman. We would definitely stay there again. We didn't explore too much in the surrounding area as we were gone to do the hike but seemed very walkable to main areas of Shkoder. The people of Albania are so kind and we had a lovely experience at this guest house. Thank you for having us!
No complaints at all! We enjoyed everything about our stay at Villa Nela. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer!
Thank you very much! You are welcome any time.!

Verified reviewThe host family was really amazing and so so helpful : our car broke down and they took care of finding solutions for us till we were taken care of, even despite all garages being closed at the time, they manage to contact people that opened one for us! The place was clean.
As we were 6 people, 2 had to sleep on the couch which was not openable so we wouldn't consider it as a bed. Still nice for one night. ;)
