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.).

FranceVery good location. Free breakfast and possible diner free or 3€ depending on the season. The crew shared Good recommendations. The staff is very kind and there are parties at the hostel. The hostel will help you to arrange transportation and guest house for the different hikes in Theth. Free shots of raki during the evening.

SloveniaMaybe there could be a problem when you go in the middle of the night to the toilet and you forget to take the card for the room with you. I guess better to put numbers on the loockers on the doors of the room.

FranceThere isn't much that I disliked. There are Only 4 bathrooms but I always managed to shower without waiting so it wasn't a problem for me. Yes we can hear the noise from the streets but even as I light sleeper it didn't disturb me at all
The staff are very friendly They take time to explain the surroundings and the different hike options and arrange the rest for you. Music, dîner and party with the hostel. Breakfast and diner were complete Towels were provided Great location The rooms are in another building so you won't be disturb by the main common area. It is possible to rend a bike to explode the city. I had such a great time!

United KingdomGreat, central location. Fantastic & super welcoming staff. Room was nice, with a very comfortable bed. Common/patio area was also a great place to hang out & have an evening drink. Overall, a good one night stay. Worth noting there may be a bit of noise from nearby bars till late at night which might not be great for early & sensitive sleepers.

SpainThe accommodation faces a pedestrian street and during my stay there was some live music till late at night. Even with earplugs I could hear the music. The hostel caters more to the younger crowd that would like to party. (you might consider this point as a positive :-)
The hostel has very good breakfast and offers on some nights a traditional dinner for 3 Euro, which is very good. They also offer you transfers and accommodation for the Theth Valbona hike. I only stayed at their location in Valbona, which was very nice (definetly also try to hike up to the viewpoint). The hostel has two parts, the accommodation is in another building, meaning that people can hang out in the common area away from the dorms. They have coffee machines, so you can make yourself a cup of coffee throughout the day

Recommend going there even if you're not planning to go hiking and joining for the delicious family dinner. Also thank your for the uncomplicated extension of my stay. I could stay in my original room for another night.

BrazilThe staff was very helpful and always available for everything I needed. They organize everything you need for the mountain trip (Valbonne Teth). The hostel's vibe is nice. The dinner and breakfast are yummy! The room and common areas were always clean. There are also bikes available to rent to go to the lake and to the castle. The internet connection was good, I could work with no problems. I would strong recommend the hostel to be your place in Shkodër!

GermanyThe accommodation as well as the hiking trip is a bit pricey, but everything is arranged and went smoothly.
Nice social hostel central located in Shkoder. They are organizing your hike from valbona to teth and you don't need to worry about anything. You get your breakfast in the early morning before the pick up and you can leave your luggage there. A lot of people are booking their hiking trip via the hostel so also as a solo traveller you won't be alone for the hike.
