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.).

United KingdomNothing to dislike. Things to note you can’t park at the property but there is a car park with lots of spaces about 50 metres opposite and you’ll need to carry your luggage up stairs to the guesthouse- we had a big suitcase but wasn’t an issue for us
We loved our stay at Lorencs guesthouse. Lorenc himself is so warm and lovely to chat too and his guesthouse is actually is families home. I was saddened by some of the other reviews as when booking you need to remember he doesn’t advertise it as a 5 star hotel it’s more of a homestay. If you want an authentic stay I’d recommend. Our stay was great, really good value in an incredible part of town and the food he cooks is really lovely too.

JapanEverything is fine.
A guesthouse located in a traditional Albanian house in the center of town. The owner was very friendly and I had a great time. The breakfast omelets and pancakes, coffee were very delicious. In addition, at the attached restaurant, you can enjoy wine and Rakia made by the owner at reasonable prices. If you like alcohol, please try it.

IrelandI had a really wonderful time at lorencs guest house, it was a beautiful and clean accommodation with a wonderful atmosphere! Lorenc was very accommodating and clearly cared very much about the comfort of his guests. He had a lot of knowledge about berat and I enjoyed hearing his stories. It’s clear that this guest house had been built on a foundation of kindness and care, I couldn’t recommend it more! It’s right at the centre and you have great access to the old town and hiking trail.

Belgium-
Very authentic feeling, nice and various breakfasts, playful cats around, helpful hosts, much to see. My kids loved it so much. These old houses naturally lack some of the comfort and fanciness of modern apartments, but this is just what makes them special. Beautiful old stuctures, good quality of that type. Clean.

United KingdomBathroom is a bit odd in that the window overlooks a neighbouring restaurant right next door. It's not exactly a problem but you have to think about whether you really want the window open, at certain times.
Lorenc is a true gentleman, he and family were very accommodating. Very interesting house, good location.

AustraliaThere was no cooling in our room, so it was quite hot. Would be great if they provided a fan if air conditioning is not possible. The shared bathroom was a bit unclean (not from staff neglect, but misuse by other guests). Bring slides to wear in the shower! Cobblestone streets and lots of stairs to the guesthouse, so we recommend bringing a backpack, not suitcase.
Best location and great views! Just a 10 minute (€5) taxi ride from Berat bus station. Beautiful historic building. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Beautiful garden out the back with the most adorable kittens! Free walking tour leaves from the end of the street which was great.

AustraliaUnless we couldn’t figure it out you had to walk through the hostel-style / another guests bedroom to enter the garden from your room which I felt a bit uncomfortable about. Not sure if there was a better way but it was the only way we could find at the time
Charming guesthouse with traditional style houses, white lace curtain windows so very pretty. Very kind and caring staff. Breakfast was delicious and in the most beautiful garden outside - grapevines, fruit trees and view of the river. One of the most gorgeous outdoor settings I’ve ever seen. Would highly recommend! Cafe/restaurant style in backyard as well so cold drinks too.

GermanyLorenc is a very friendly and helpful host. He runs the guesthouse with his family and it's very lovely there. The dinner he is offering is simple, but very good and the atmosphere is very nice. The rooms are very simple, but okay for visiting Berat and the area. The breakfast is also simple, but enough. We enjoyed the stay a lot, because of the nice atmosphere of the guesthouse.
