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...).

GermanyThe hostel volunteers created a great vibe in the hostel. You’d feel welcome from the first moment and it was easy to socialise with others - especially in the evenings. Also, it was situated well, not far from most things in Shkoder.

United KingdomThe only real annoyance was not being able to enjoy any of the social spaces without having to deal with smokers. Seemed like they had to sit in the middle of the large outdoor space and right under the windows. It's a small one and if you smoke you won't mind. Also wished the fly net wasn't ripped in the room. I am a mosquito magnet. Overall though - great hostel.
The place is creative and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and create a great feeling of community for however long you stay. They seem very accommodating with checking in and out in regards to time and if you are early or need tonhang about after checking out they let you leave your stuff if you want to go out. Rooms are large and spacious. I wished I had stayed longer to socialise a bit more. It felt like the guys make a home from home here, even having a whatsapp group to keep you up to date on activities or to just keep clued in. Everything a good hostel should be.

AustraliaBag storage is €2 per bag per night, which is a bit expensive for a hostel (we have never been asked to pay overnight storage when we have stayed somewhere before). But we were thankful for the option despite the price.
The staff are really friendly and try to give helpful tips and advice. It’s a party hostel and they create a fun vibe. They turn the music off and relocate the party to another hostel late in the evening, which is considerate for those getting up early. There is a kitchen with fridges, and really nice areas to chill out - both indoors and outside

GermanyNothing, it was all good. :)
It was the most social hostel that I stayed at in Albania. It was easy to meet and connect with other people. The staff were super friendly, helpful and chilled and were hanging out with the guests. Everyday something is going on in the backyard like playing games and usually Staff and guests go out together in the evening (if you are motivated). The location is good as well - close to the main street with all the Bars and Restaurants and close to the bus stop as well. Definitely can recommend the hostel! :)

Everything was amazing, I have been to shkoder before, but this stay at Galley completely blew me away. The staff were so amazing, really truly understand hospitality and bringing people together, they provide such an incredible social space with the garden, and encourage a friendly space where you can meet everyone in house. They take care of everything you need for your stay, airport transfer, hiking tours, river day trips, winery visits, advice on where to buy things you need. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. I will be back!
