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...).

United StatesThe kitchen happened to be closed for renovations; however, Gjirokaster has plenty of delicious and affordable restaurants, so no issues there!
Our hosts were very friendly! A very kind family. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the heater was great on a chilly night. We loved the balcony; from there, you can see snow-covered mountains (we went in the winter) and the bell tower. The room is close to the castle and old bazaar, and the neighborhood is quiet. Thank you Sheri & Medio!

Absolutely fantastic stay. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming. The showers are like you’d get at a luxury hotel, with plenty of hooks and places to hold soap etc. The beds are very comfortable and there are lights and sockets and shelves for your phone. 100% recommend to anyone looking for hostel in Gjirokaster!!

Lovely owner. She is like your auntie and she barely speaks some words in English. Beautiful traditional old house, with charm and very cute. On the main street to the old bazar, less than 5min away. Comfy beds with all the basics. Towel included.

United KingdomI'd like to have stayed there longer.
We loved everything about Trigona. Medio was such a helpful and kind host and extremely relaxed. He was always there if we needed him. It's in a beautiful, quiet area with an amazing view of the castle from the terrace and walking distance from everything. It's a shared hostel experience so shared kitchen and bathroom but we had a private room and it was comfortable, great A.C in almost 40°c heat! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Medio!

RomaniaA very strange access to the terrasse by a window which is not so great. No lounge which is normal in a hostel.
Small, clean, nice hostel with a 6 people dorm and two private rooms (2 and 4 people). I paid 11 euros /bed/night. Good location, like 5 minutes walking from the old city of Gjirokaster and 15 minutes to the new town and the bus station. Good kitchen. Big and good bathroom. Friendly staff. Thank you so much for your understanding of people's needs. Good AC. Which is a must on mid July because of the extreme heat.
