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...).

ItalyGood wifi connection, central hostel, close to many restaurants and bars. The owner Adriano is a great person and will do all possible to make your trip pleasant, although he speaks better italian than English, he will prepare breakfast for you in the morning, also with vegan option. My stay was pleasant and I will return. The room is nice with big lockers, my advice is to close all windows and turn on air conditioner to reduce street noise in the evening.

GermanyThe hostel is very suitable for a person to stay overnight, the owner adriano is very friendly and help me a lot. He introduced me to some local restaurants which are very suitable for me and good value for money. He made breakfast for us every day and it’s just a very humane hostel. The location is very good and although the facilities are a little outdated buy the price of accommodation is very low for Tirana. If you're not as picky as I am, then stay here for a couple of nights. There are also room reserved for ladies only.

United KingdomThe room I stayed in is on the basement, you could hear noise from outside, but this was not a problem for me, it was ok. There was a closet in the room, only one side with a key, there were no lockers to put our belongings
I really like this place specially after the first night. I was lucky to have a good room mate as beds are kind of close with no division, so no privacy. It was really good. Breakfast done and served by the owner, a really nice friendly person. Breakfast was delicious. There is a lady that comes and cleans daily.

United KingdomI had always chosen this hostel but house was full this time and I found the dorm very messy with very noisy guests when I arrived. The charm and the friendliness had gone. Sadly I had to find another hostel for my second night. No longer friendly as it used to be as i was told to leave my seat as soon as i took my last bite of breakfast because NEXT person coming but nobody was waiting. I found it unpleasant for this first and last time.

Czech RepublicThe hostel is very close to the center of Tirana, actually in the center;-). Mr.Owner has a big heart and prepares a super rich breakfast (the option I had was not for vegans). Also he helps guests navigating thru Albania...not to forget Klara the Czech girl at the reception. All perfect in this hostel with minor details like one room a bit busy close to the street etc. But overall it is about the atmosphere, guests you might meet - and Tufina has it all!

The cooked breakfast prepared by Andreo the host is exceptional. Like an Albanian "full english" at home in the UK. You do not need to eat again for a long time! The hostel has a fully equipped kitchen clean showers and comfy beds. It is a short walk from the Airoport bus stop and easy to find. Clara the volunteer was very nice and helpful. Nice social atmosphere. If you are a smoker you will need to smoke outside on the street. I stayed here when I returned from Kosovo and would stay again if I come back some day!
