Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AlbaniaOnly issue is the parking lot and the entrance. It was quite difficult to figure out. Challenging to drive the car up the main hill, then a very strange walk around the building, up some back stairs, then in through a back door. I had to ask for help!
Beautiful view from the hotel with a comfortable and quiet room. I loved the hard wood furniture and decor and the overall warm and unique ambiance that captured the vibe of Gjirokaster as a whole. Perfect location right by the Bazaar

United KingdomLocation was great, and the parking was ample. However it was quite awkward to get to— google maps did not adequately describe the steepness and narrowness of the (cobblestone) roads, and in addition roadworks made it awkward. However, the staff was very helpful and in the end the location was worth the trouble.

United StatesThis is silly but I was hoping they might have incorporated more traditional Albanian textiles into the room, since they are so lovely, and I think they were in one of the photos.
The staff are a gem - especially the older gentleman who works at the restaurant! He was darling and very helpful and made us feel very welcome and had great wine recommendations. When we got lost on the way to the hotel due to some road construction, one of the hotel staff members actually drove down to find us with his motorcycle and led us in our car to the hotel himself - which was so kind! We also had a nice staff member help us with our luggage which we really appreciated. The hotel is perched on a beautiful outcropping of cliff and the views are astounding. They have decorated nicely with lovely classic wooden furniture and beautiful ceilings. The rooms are very spacious. The location is great - you can walk right into the area of town with the shops, and easily to the castle and the Cold War bunker and the other fun locations. The restaurant has a great selection of Albanian wine! I found the food a bit heavy but it was very good and I think that is traditional Albanian food.

SwitzerlandThe Hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Gjirokaster. The historic city center is only a few steps away. The location of the hotel is simply stunning and allows an excellent view over Gjirokaster. The hotel-staff is extremely friendly and helped me even with a little problem with my car. Breakfast was excellent and was much more than a single person could eat. This was the best hotel I had during my week touring around Albania! Highly recommended!

AustraliaAverage breakfast. Conversely, we had dinner at the hotel which was very enjoyable. We had problems getting to and from the hotel. It was impossible to get reliable information about the bus schedule for the next leg of our travels, and we ended up being dropped in the middle of nowhere by a taxi driver who could speak no English, to catch a bus en route from tirana to sarande. The hotel staff proved incapable of helping us with this.
Nice hotel with great views and ideal location in the old town below the castle.
