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.).

MoroccoThe staff were super friendly, relaxed and fun. Even though they are busy, they really make time to help you a lot. I wanted some recommendations for villages in the North, and they even searched for accommodations for me.. how sweet. The atmosphere in the hostel was great too, every body was super relaxed and chill. And damn... they have cute dogs (and a turtle) that are chilling all the time too. You really have the feeling that you're sleeping at your families house :-)

There is nice young staff from Berat high school. He is super kind and helpful. Hostel is located in quiet place and near bus stop in order to travel to bus station. You can reach large supermarket 10 minutes by walk.

Sri LankaAs I had to leave a bit before 8 am I did not have a chance to have breakfast. The kitchen was already occupied by the person preparing breakfast and I could not even make myself a coffee.
I could admire a view over the old town and the river directly from my room's balcony, it was a pure pleasure to see it as a very first thing in the morning. The entire building is extremely cute and cozy. Staff is truly excited about Berat and always has some recommendations what to do in the area (from sightseeing to going hiking uphill). The room does not come with an ensuite bathroom, but there's one literally next door and there was no queue at any time

Brazilonly one tip: please, update the bus information on the map you give to us. the bus schedule doesn’t make any sense anymore and I got lost to go to Macedonia (there aren’t buses anymore to Elbasan!).
I think it is the first time I give 10,0 for a hostel. it was just perfect!

United KingdomNot a problem but the property appears to be geared towards younger backpackers. Some of the facilities are a bit dated but still work as intended.
The old styling of the building is very cool and there is plenty of outdoor space to relax.

SpainI liked everything. The only thing was that there where many wasps coming to the food, but they can't do anything about it and it happens all over Albania in summer or at least that is my experience.
The hostel was just great. It had several terraces with great views to have breakfast, read or some beers/wine at night. The breakfast was amazing and the staff very helpful. One of the best hostels in Albania
