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...).

AustraliaOne of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! Miri and the team are super lovely and hospitable The hostel offers activities that are a must! I did both the wine tour and canyon tour and loved it! So make sure you give yourself some time in Berat to do them. The hostel has a great breakfast, all the guests gather and chat around and there’s a cute bar next door to gather for some drinks. Super easy location in Berat as the street is on the river so handy if you have a car or heavy bags!

United Kingdom100% recommend staying here if you’re in Berat. Staff were so friendly and informative. Has a really homey feel. Small, cosy common area which makes it really easy to meet people. Beds were super spacious with curtains for privacy. And a great bar next door. Cannot fault it!

We booked a private room and got a room with beautifull view on the famous Berat buildings on the front side of the hostel. We only stayed one night but also joined a wine tour which was organised by the hostel. Would really reccommend to stay here.

United KingdomSadly the air con in my room was basically non functional and the bathroom was weirdly designed so that the shower was basically over the toilet and water got everywhere. But I would recommend regardless
Great riverfront location with beautiful views and walking distance into Berat. Hostel was clean and comfortable, with a nice communal space to meet others. Also they own a rooftop bar next door which was great fun. Staff were lovely and helpful, and took the time to explain local sights to me before I checked in. The canyon tour was excellent and although I didn't have time to do the wine tour, I wish I had as the other guests said it was great fun. Breakfast was delicious too.

AustraliaOnly downside was there was only 1 bathroom connected to the 8 bed dorm. They run an awesome day trip to the canyon but it was a little bit expensive (40 euro). Wasn't much of a social vibe when we were there but this totally depends on the travellers.
Very close to the old town and give you plenty of advice for activities. Really good facilities and the beds are amazing - built-in and all have curtains.

Check in was easy and the room was great - curtain for each bed, air conditioning, and clean bathroom (I was in a 4 bed dorm). I would recommend staying here if you're in Berat.

Room was spacious, clean & had a lovely view, breakfast super yummy & Miri & his team are so welcoming & friendly. The tours I booked with them (Osumi Canyon & an evening wine tour) were both fab! Only thing is I really didn't want to leave, would highly recommend.

United KingdomThe bathroom in our room needed updating a bit but otherwise no complaints.
The staff and volunteers were friendly and I had a great time hanging out with them and other travellers. The hostel is very comfortable, when I briefly was ill during my stay I felt like I was able to completely relax and get well. The breakfast was tasty and the location was perfect. Would stay again. The resident dog is also friendly but keeps to herself so the hostel is still a good place to stay for those with a fear of dogs.
