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...).

I spent 4days in the dorm. It’s clean and with good air conditioner. The families were very kind and helpful. They helped me to drop my heavy luggage to the bus station free of charge. I felt so lucky that I chose this lovely hostel to stay in Gjirokaster.

South AfricaInternet / wifi not very fast and signal on far side of our room (family room) was poor too. The staff do not sit at the front desk, but rather you have to indicate when you arrive and someone will get there in 5-10 mins to show you to your room.
Quiet place with nice mattresses and clean bathrooms - 3 showers and 3 stalls as I recall. Large kitchen with fridge and didn't cook anything but seems well equipped. Nice rooftop terrace to do some work or grab a drink. Situated 400m down from the main square, so it's quiet but super close to dinner and drinks places.

AustraliaIt was really tiny and not very social so unless you’re travelling in peak season you might not meet anyone.
The hostel and kitchen was really clean! The bathroom is huge for the size of the hostel. There is also a nice rooftop area you can sit and have dinner or drinks.

Location is perfect, just a small climb to the centre were everything in terms of restaurants / bars and shops can be found.

United StatesThe property is awesome. A 5 min walk to the main area with shops and restaurants. AC worked great. The bathroom is large and clean. I stayed in the 6 bed dormitory and it was very nice. The beds are super comfortable. Also, the hostess is AMAZING. She is super kind and helpful and goes above and beyond to help you out. I accidentally lost the key to my locker and she was super kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

United KingdomThe owner was absolutely lovely, although she didn’t speak English, she was very eager to help us enjoy our stay. The hostel was homely and clean, and we loved the roof top spot. Only problem was that we couldn’t get hold of the host easily which made checking in a bit difficult. We didn’t actually see the host much at all after checking in. If you’re happy to just be left to it, this was a great place.

BrazilThe hostel is very cosy, with very comfortable beds, all brand new. Kitchen is small but functional, and since they keep everything clean and they do not host too many people, that's not a problem at all. Bathrooms are very clean and there are separate cabins for toilets and shower, so you normally don't have to wait to use it. They also provide towels. There's a terrace to chill if the weather is nice. And all that for a really good price. For being a small family business, there's not so much of a social atmosphere, more like a Guesthouse vibe. The owner is not around most of the time, but they provide the wifi password in the front door, so it's easy to reach her and arrange everything or ask for any kind of assistance. And, as most of the people I met in Albania, she was very kind and welcoming. Faleminderit 😊

Ukraine- wifi didnt connect from time to time, and didnt reach the room's balcony - noise isolation in the private room with balcony wasnt good,basically if someone decided to talk on the phone in the corridor at night - you would hear every word.. - no washing machine
it is a small cozy accommodation consisting of one hostel room and two private rooms. we enjoyed first few nights here so much that we extended out stay for another week or so. it did feel homey, with lot of common space and completely functional and clean pleasant kitchen (oil etc not available). the place is very clean too, the owners and cleaning lady were very friendly and responsive. + if u decide to cook, there are few shops just few meters from the hostel, that was really cool. * actually your stay will depends on other guests and their behaviour, because it is small place. but when we were there, we didnt feel like it has very sociliazing vibe, but more of a silent vibe.
