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...).

BelgiumThe best hostel i have been to, the 2 owners are the coolest dudes. You can see the love that they put in the hostel. Its a very well equiped hostel with good showers, a good kitchen and nice beds. There is also a lovely outside chill area where everybody just hangs out en plays games. They organise day tours to a couple different spots. The drive you there with vans and they make everything so easy for you whils't also being very fun. I only got good things to say about the hostel and the 2 owners robert and aryan.

Uruguayafter 10 days there is nothing bad
1They all speak English and Italian, 2 the hostel is near by everything 3 despite some people leave everything dirty every day the woman working there will clean everything PROPERLY!!!! 4 the curtain really makes all the difference!!!! You just close it and you will have all your privacy... 5 for a few euros they will arrange a bus to Tirana or to the airport, they will call for you for free. Price/ service this hostel is probably the best that you can get in Albania. Ps: the kitchen has all the tools you need.

FranceThe shower might just need a little shelf to put our things away from the water.
I stayed there as a solo traveller, and found the hostel really welcoming also thanks to the team working there. I had a change of plan during my travel and they were really helpful, caring about the safety and gave advice about what to do and what to see around there. Regarding the room, the beds have curtains that gave the intimacy needed. I did not use the kitchen and can't say anything about it except that it looked well equipped. I also so that they were games in the living room for residents to use!

SpainThe shower was cold. In summer it's not an issue. It had one shower in every floor. Checkout time is somewhat earlier. For such not a big, busy hostel it's very early.
It was nice one. The bed has curtain, plugin, light. The room has locker, big enough and even shelf to pack the bag. Location was very good, as well as the staff. Bathroom sinks are modern. Had a wall hair dryer. Had a work desk in common area room, sofas.

SpainThe bathrooms could be a little bit cleaner, the floor was wet but appart from that is one of the best hostels I've ever been and i've been in more than 40. Thanks so much!
10/10 option, even more considering the price. Beds are super comfortable and with curtains. The common places are insane, the kitchen is big, clean, perfect equipment. Also you have an outside zone where you can chill with the other guests. The vibe was amazing, everybody super cool, and in the center of the city. Owner or manager is very nice. Big lockers in the room. The very best place in Shkoder.

United KingdomA bit small shower cubicle, Likely to flood if the drain does not take fast enough the water away.
I believe Booking.com stated that the breakfast was included. But the Hostel guys told me it wasn't and I got a refund and a bonus: free towel. Good people both customers and the hostel crew. The family little kitten knows how to make herself loved and cuddled :) The option of planning day trip excursions to the Albanian Alps :) Ample kitchen and plenty of facilities and room. Good size dorms and beds with curtains. Good new mattresses too.

United KingdomVolunteers were lovely, toilets on each floor (with a water-jet), comfy beds, indoor and outdoor lounge (which came in handy, as it was pouring). Very chilled vibes, but they had no issues with visitors being boisterous, playing drinking games, etc. so, it was a great balance. Their kitten was very sociable and cuddly :) Heavy rain meant I couldn't explore Shkoder at all, so I can't judge the location. Most of the guests were signing up for the day tours, which sounded fun! Wish I was there for longer.
