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...).

NetherlandsThe hostel is located really close to the bus station and you can park your car in the area for free. The city center is a 5 to 10 minute walk. The host is very friendly and helpful, giving very useful advice regarding restaurant options. The hostel is very clean and for this price you will simply not find anything better. Lockers are very large and the beds are really comfortable, with a lot of privacy as well. Breakfast is also good.

GermanyI expected an empty hostel in February, but there were quite a few people there, which was nice. The location is quiet, there are good places to eat and the center is nearby. The staff are great and gave me good tips, I wouldn't have gone to the castle otherwise. Shkodra is quite small, so you can easily see everything in one day. I would love to come back again for the lake and the mountains someday. I can definitely recommend this hostel.

MongoliaThe hostel is very comfortable. It has a big common space where guests can discuss a variety of topics :P. The staff are very friendly, with special thanks to Olga and Karina, who helped me plan my trip during my stay in Shkodra. I also appreciated the 'Boss' (whose name I forgot :)) for renting me his own bike for my daily trip to Zogaj (They have bicycle rental service). That was such an unforgettable trip that could be only achieved by bicycle.

NetherlandsEverything was really nice!
Nice hostel, very clean. Great place to meet other travelers. There is a kitchen for everyone and downstairs is a toilet and shower (huge) and upstairs are even much more toilets and showers. The owner really appreciates cleanliness. Central located just 200 meters from bus station (unfortunately no trains running in Albania). All facilities are in walking distance from the hostel. There is a tourist information at the Rruga Demokratia, 100 meters from the hostel where you can get bustimetables and information. Busses go to Podgorica (Titograd) and Ulcinj in Montenegro every day and every hour to Tirana, as well as furgon (little busses) to Velipoje (beach). For Koplik, walk to 'Cafe Rus' in the nord of town and take a furgon there.

ItalyEverything was fine!
Both, the owner and the girls who work there have been very kind and welcoming. I'm travelling by bike so it was important for me to have a place where to store it safely, and their garden is super safe. I recommend the place for any kind of traveler, and for cyclist I would say that it's perfect: garden for the bikes, big lockers where to store bags or anything you don't want to leave on the bike, big beds, not too busy rooms (6 beds dorm), equipped kitchen.

New ZealandEverything about this hostel is perfect. Not only is everything super comfy and clean and well located, the hostel is small enough that every guest and staff member there knows each other therefore forming a very nice little friendly community. I stayed there for 4 days as I loved meeting the small number of ppl living in the hostels. A great family this hostel has. 10/10 recommend this place to everyone!

SpainI loved the way Erjon works. He is so friendly, always available to help you. The hostel was so clean, the bed was so comfortable and you have your own charger and your own light, if you need it in the middle of the night. The kitchen was clean and you can cook whatever you need. There is a one big bathroom, where you can take a relax shower and make the laundry.

United StatesExtremely clean facilities; Mr Clean is kinda obsessive but because of him the place is spotless, treat him kindly please and follow the rules :D, kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook, heater in the shower, bed is super comfy and has curtains for privacy which is a plus and highly appreciate, with the bed you have assigned a closet with a padlock to leave your stuff. The location is central, a few minutes walking to the bus station, city center, multiples markets, cafes, restaurants and the pedestrian street etc...if I come back, for sure I would stay again :)
