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.).

IsraelOther than the stairs getting in and out the hotel is lovely. Very clean, welcoming. The room was large and comfortable but there’s no room to hang clothes. The shower head was broken too. But other than that it was very good

United StatesWe got locked out of the place a little after midnight , there is a number on the back gate to call but we weren’t aware this was going to be a problem, so it would have been nice to know beforehand.
So comfortable and very cute hotel. It was right in the castle so it was so easy to get around once there.

SpainThe site is absolutely well located. It is within the castle walls and there is no more pleasant environment to be in in the entire city. The staff's attention was very good, and the breakfast was very very good. Comfortable beds and a feeling of well-being in that place when you wake up in this place. 100% recommended.

United StatesThere was no room cleanings or service and a simple garbage bag or place to get fresh towels would help out. I also had one of the rooms without an above shower made cleaning myself difficult in the tub.
I liked the space and villa for the stay during my friends wedding. I enjoyed breakfast and the amenities.

IrelandThe extractor fan funnel from the kitchen was right outside our balcony and extremely noisy and smelly. Maybe room 103 is a short straw pick for booking.com. ! The air conditioning unit struggled in the intense heat and it was hard to sleep.
Loved the beautiful grounds and garden and the lovely breakfasts served up by an excellent waiter named Gabriel. He was a credit to the company. The restaurant had a wide range of choices and was very busy. Our room was lovely and comfortable and cleaned daily and the location is ideal for exploring Elbasan.

United StatesThe stairway didn't have rails which could be an issue if you are traveling with children. If you return late at night (after 10pm) you'll need to go to the back gate and call the number of the guard to be let in
The location was great. Very easy to find. Plenty of parking if you have a car. The staff seemed pretty friendly. The AC worked well and the food was pretty good. Loved the garden.
