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.).

AustraliaThe shower tap wasn't user friendly. I had great difficulties adjusting the water to the right temperature. I've never seen these kinds of taps before.
Very friendly staff. Great breakfast, good coffee. They got us a driver, Armando whose English was excellent. He was friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. We asked the hotel manager to book us for an extra day and it was no problem for them.

United KingdomWe felt so welcome at the Hotel Bonsai. Each staff member always made sure we were cared for, offering us regular help. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast each morning in our room - absolutely delicious. The cleaning staff didn't bother us in the morning and always waited until after we had left to clean the room. We never felt rushed or hurried to be away and always felt welcomed when we returned. The staff were super helpful in showing us where the bus into town was and how we can contact taxis if we needed to. They also showed us some lovely places to eat and drink. We speak several languages and felt awful that we only spoke limited albanian- but the staff's English was fantastic. There were no communication issues. Honestly, we can't wait to make another booking - each day at the hotel bonsai really made the holiday....coming back to relax at a place where you know you're welcome. Thank you so much to all the staff - we are so excited to make this our regular holiday!

RomaniaThe accommodation at Hotel Bonsai was extraordinary. I highly recommend this hotel due to its warm staff, cleanliness, and value for money. The people here are extremely helpful, and the breakfast is marvellous. You can take a cab to the city for 8-10 Euros or public transport from 4 4-minute walk away from the hotel. Hotel Bonsai met all needs, and the experience was extraordinary! I highly recommend it!

North MacedoniaVery kind and helpful staff. We arrived late in the evening, hungry, and they ordered food for us that was brought to the hotel so we didnt have to go out. Clean, very comfy beds. Location is perfect if you need to catch a bus from the East Terminal in Tirana, since it is just a 20 min walk there so no hassles with buses and taxis. They make great coffee too :)

South AfricaSuch friendly staff. Easy to access parking. Lovely breakfast menu. We could also have a load of laundry done. The bus to Tirana centre is very convenient. Ensure you take the L8 TEG it must have TEG in the wording (the L8A will go the wrong route). All our interactions in Albania were with such friendly people.

United StatesThe location was a bit far from the city center, but I was preparing for a 7 day hike so actually it was perfect for me. I still was able to walk to and from the city center
I arrived at night due to flight delays and the staff were immediately helpful and friendly. I went straight to bed, but when I woke up and went on the balcony, the view took my breath away. As I arrived at night, I had no idea what to expect when waking up and the view was incredible. The room was perfect and clean with good heating/cooling. The hotel was VERY nice and very new. I loved my stay there.

United KingdomWe got noisy neighbours for one night. The pavement walking around hotel it’s a hit and missed 🙈
The staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is comfortable and very clean! The breakfast offer a choice of food and we really liked it. The coffee and fresh orange juice was superb! We learn to catch the local bus L8 Quonder -soak -terminal (I may not spell it correctly) and in minutes you are in the Center for 40 Lek per person (you are buying the tickets on the bus). Going back don’t make the mistake of taking the bus sanatorium - you always need the Quonder- souk terminal. I can recommend the hotel to everybody - we had a very nice stay :) and really nice time in Tirana.

United KingdomThere was no kettle so unable to make hot drinks. The location of the hotel was not very nice - littered street, stray dogs, no suitable place for dining out. Prime TV and Netflix apps were on the TV - but unable to access them. We watched YouTube movies.
The staff members were accommodating and welcoming and helped us a lot with the language barrier and ordering our meals on the app. The breakfast was ok - There were 2 options consisting of a full range of items. There was a stocked fridge with beers, wines, soft drinks and chocolates in our room. A lift to our floor. A nearby well-stocked supermarket. The bathroom was spacious, with a bidet and good flowing water from the shower.
