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...).

Estoniavery nice place to be. Of course, everything also depends on the people who are in the hostel at a particular moment. John is demanding, but thanks to that, the rooms are clean and it's good to be there. The owners are super nice. Thank you for having the opportunity to meet you. I also recommend it to my friends

ArgentinaI had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel. The cleanliness of the facilities was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. They were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request. The hostel had a fantastic atmosphere, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The newly renovated facilities added a modern touch to the overall charm. I particularly appreciated the designated work area, complete with a functional desk and reliable Wi-Fi, making it convenient for business travelers like myself. The presence of air conditioning was a great relief during hot days. A standout feature of my stay was the Friday barbecue. It was a delightful opportunity to mingle with other guests and enjoy delicious food in a sociable setting. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It exceeded my expectations in terms of cleanliness, friendly staff, good vibes, and the additional amenities provided. I will definitely choose this hostel again for my future visits.

SpainIt’s been a really pleasant stay, the treatment of the staff has been incredible and the willingness to help just amazing! 😊 I forgot my sunglasses in the hostel and they took them to the bus driver of Shkodra so that he could bring them back to me in Tirana!! I am really thankful for that. Also they gave us really good tips of where to eat and what to visit. The location is perfect, very close to the center, and there is no noise around, you can get good sleep. I would definitely repeat. 👍

New ZealandSuch a great hostel in the perfect location. The beds all have privacy curtains, individual lights and power sockets and there is a common space outside of the rooms also. Erjon and John, the owner and manager are both very friendly and helpful, I felt very welcome in the hostel. I would definitely recommend this hostel if you want somewhere to feel safe and comfortable during your stay in Shkodra.

United KingdomThey have a policy of charging a small amount for storing your backpack after checkout, which is fair enough When I returned to collect my backpack around midday, I was made to feel pretty unwelcome Most backpacker hostels are pretty relaxed about letting guests hang around a while after having checked out I felt like I was being given my backpack and unceremoniously slung straight out Sure, I understand the hostel is within its rights to do that, but it left a bad feeling for me
Comfortable, clean, secure, helpful staff, close to town centre

TurkeyThere were very strict rules. Owner/Receptionist was a nice person, but rules enforced. I was working as a remotely, I checked out of the room and when I wanted to work in the common area, he stated that we had to leave the hostel at 11 o'clock. I don't think it was very nice. Actually rules are normal but many rules seem to reduce intimacy You can see the rules.
Hostel was very clean.

The staff was very friendly and the hostel is very closed to the center. You can also walk to the castle in 45 minutes. It can be difficult to see the hostel door at first sight. Especially if you arrive at the evening. Ask people around if you don't find
