Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThere is no room heater but more than enough blankets to stay warm while sleeping. Not a deal breaker
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location wasn't too bad. The hostel was super clean with several different small buildings housing the dorm facilities. Breakfast was good and filling. Nice start to the day. Great value for the money.

United Statesthis is the best place in Elbasan, I can work on the computer quietly and the staff is always at the ready for any of my needs. my week here was worth it, and Fatima makes the best traditional breakfast in Albania here in the morning. it is worth your time to see beautiful Elbasan and the Elbasan backpackers hostel. ky është vendi më i mirë në Elbasan, unë mund të punoj në kompjuter në heshtje dhe stafi është gjithmonë i gatshëm për çdo nevojë timen. Javën time këtu ia vlejti dhe Fatima e bën mëngjesin më të mirë tradicional në Shqipëri këtu në mëngjes. ia vlen koha juaj për të parë Elbasanin e bukur dhe bujtinat e Elbasanit.

Hong KongNothing to mention
I extended my stay because it was so peaceful here. The lady in charge let me hang my laundry in the family area of the garden. And the best gesture of all, because I had a very early bus on the day of my departure, she packed hardboiled eggs, a thick slice of cheese and a huge chunk of bread for my 'breakfast'. It was super nice of her.

Hong KongIf there's something that bothered me, it's the mosquitoes around the place due to the greenery and animals. BUT the lady in charge very nicely provided a special lamp that discouraged insects. The location is a bit far from the town centre, but in compensation it's very quiet
The two boys worked methodologically to keep the place clean. They were extremely friendly, helpful and polite. The location is in a tranquil area and people can just relax

Fatima is such a great host. We loved the breakfast and the friendly atmosphere at the place. If you need anything you can always ask Fatima for help. The outdoor kitchen was always clean and the place overall is really nice to stay at in contrast to the crowded city.

Very good experience! Lovely place, surrounded by wonderful people. The atmosphere is calm, perfect for relaxing, but at the same time it is ideal for meeting and talking with very nice people. Delicious breakfast! 100% recommended! Thanks to Fatima and her son for their hospitality. PS: Muchacho, we were waiting for you to go to Tirana 🤣🤣🤣
