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...).

SwitzerlandThere was a strange smell in the room which came from the bathroom... Something we'd add to the room is a little lamp on the nightstand for some more gentle light.

United KingdomThe bathroom was a little bit underwhelming as the shower curtain had almost been ripped out of the wall on our arrival, also we had not been told that we needed to turn on the boiler for the shower and had our first shower with cold water. The hostel is positioned next to a bar that played very loud music until approx 1am.
The hostel is ideally located! Perfect distance to the strip without the hustle and bustle outside the door. Great view from the hostel of the river and Bridge. Staff extremely helpful and polite. Some amazing trips offered through the hostel like canon tours, berat walking tours and vinyard tours. Staff very nonlegable about the best restaurants too. We stayed in a double private room with the ensuite. The room was clean and had a balcony with lovely views. Breakfast was included ans was perfect, something for everyone and some amazing coffee.

DenmarkLocation was great. Free breakfast was great. Staff was friendly. Go on their Canyon trip!! It may seem a little bit overpriced, but you get so much value for money and it’s totally worth it. Definitely a highlight on my trip. And our guide, who also is the guy who owns the hostel, is super amazing and made the trip even better.

GermanyThe Maya Hostel is a really nice place to spend time in the lovely city of Berat. From the garden you have an amazing view on the mountains and on the Church of St. Michael. The facilities are comfortable and clean. Furthermore the exceptional staff went above and beyond helping me with any kind of inquiry. I had a great time there and I can highly recommend anyone to choose this place for accommodation in Berat.
