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 reviewAndreas and Anila are a wonderful couple and welcomed us warmly! The room was very clean, with traditional furniture and a fantastic view of the village. Also very close on foot to the old city center. The breakfast was tasty and more than enough for the four of us! The available parking place is really very helpful as it is very difficult to park at the narrow roads. We had a wonderful time here!
Everything was good! ☺️
Thank you!❤️

Verified reviewBeautiful rooms with lovely shaded sitting out area. Air con in rooms much welcomed! Lovely hosts who were very kind. Incredible breakfast - more than welcome could possibly eat. Location close to castle and bazaar with restaurants only a few meters away. New road means car access is dead easy and gated parking is great. Could ask for more.
Thank you❤️!

Verified reviewEverything amazing, breakfast is the best, very fulfilling and delicious. The family are very lovely and helpful. I recommend and would love to go back
As others mentioned it is close from old bazar and castle but the way there and back is somewhat steep so that would need to be considered if someone was mobility issues.
Thank you ☺️!

Verified reviewLovely comfortable room in a historic building. Yuri and his wife were really friendly and even lent me a hoodie for our stay as Gjirokastër was a little chilly. They also picked us up from the bus station as we arrived late in the afternoon, but it's easy to get the town bus up to Dunavat which runs every 30 minutes. Yuri Guest House is located just above the castle where there's a cluster of five restaurants on your doorstep. Last, but definitely not least, the breakfast was amazing - eggs, bread, cheese, tomato, cucumber, petula (small doughnuts), jam and fruit. Enough to last the whole day! We would definitely choose to stay at Yuri's again.
Nothing, everything was great.
Thank you so much we appreciate it a lot!🥰

Verified reviewThis old converted property is lovely. The owners are very friendly and go it of their way to help. The property is up near the Castle and old bridge. It’s just a few minutes walk down to the bazaar. The room is very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is amazing. There is a local bus up but we didn’t find how to use it.
Thank you!😊
