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.).

United StatesBecause it is in the castle, parking is a bit tricky. Again, as it's a new hotel, the haven't yet fully worked out the parking situation particularly with regards to how to get luggage from the car to the hotel. Again, the manager was super accommodating and helped get us to the parking and get our luggage back to the hotel. Traveler's should note that all parking will be offsite due to the amazing location of the hotel.
The hotel was inside the castle. My room faced the castle. The room was large, super clean, very comfortable. The manager was very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is very new and he's still arranging a lot of details (like the breakfast area isn't ready yet, coffee service was not ready either) but he went out of his way to arrange for coffee and brought us bottled water. Very lovely, kind manager!

MyanmarSpecial place to stay! Rooms are wonderful, clean and so well thought through as well as the bathrooms. It truly feels like an oasis after days of traveling and exploring. The owner was so nice and helpful with my stay in Kruje, as well as my next stops in Albania. The place is brand new and the owner is constantly trying to improve the place and really curious about his guests opinions and ideas as well. Highly recommend!

United KingdomJust be aware that there is no parking on site but we paid a couple of pounds to park just outside the castle.
A beautiful restored Ottoman building inside Kruja Castle. Brand new rooms with a restaurant to come later - you can find breakfast two minutes away outside the castle. Great shower and very quiet.

NetherlandsIt didn’t include breakfast, so it was a bit pricely. They’re still working on the property so i think there’s a lot of potential. Parking was difficult, would recommend to ask the owner before arrival where to park. We didn’t do this and had to turn the car multiple times in narrow streats
It was a beautiful room on a very beautiful location. It felt really luxurious.

NetherlandsYou cannot park in front of the property, and Kruje is not easy with parking, so that was a bit of a challenge.

NetherlandsNothing really. The tiniest remark would be that we would've loved some water in the fridge cause it was pretty hot and I don't think you can drink the tapwater safely.
The location was absolutely magical: a traditional house inside of the castle walls of the castle of Kruja. So special! The rooms have been renovated very professionaly and with great attention to detail, without losing the traditional atmosphere or style. It truly is a high end luxury hotel and it's so comfortable. Something you don't see very often in Albania. We slept wonderfully. I highly recommend visiting this!

AlbaniaDue to their recent opening there are a few little details in the room which surely will be improved. It would be really nice to have chairs on the balcony and something to put your soap on in the shower.
The room was really clean, beautiful and everything was new. We loved the look of the antique look of the furniture. The beds were really comfy and we had a good night sleep. The location in the old castle and the view from the balcony is stunning and very special! The hosts was very kind and helpful with everything. Because they opened only a month ago the restaurant wasn't finished, but that was no problem, because there are lot's of other places just a few steps away were you can eat. All in all it was a great and luxurious experience to stay at Albergo Diffuso!

DenmarkThey accepted cash only and we were not notified about this in advance. The Booking.com page also said we could check in from 3 am (I think this is a mistake) and even if our 11 am arrival was confirmed, no one was there when we arrived. They quickly fixed the room though!
Amazing stay at this beautiful new hotel inside the castle. We loved the room - SO beautiful and comfortable. Location is superb. The cleaning lady was especially nice to us!
