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 Kingdomfor the number of guests, there are only a few showers/ bathrooms so I had to wait a couple of times.
This hostel is perfect for anyone who wants to do the Valbona - Theth hike. They booked everything for us and the homestays were all fabulous. The hostel itself is very big with plenty going on. The communal area is large and very sociable with events on every evening. The beds were comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast spread was one of the best in Albania with almost barista level coffee machines!

BelgiumWe had the private room, and although far from the main hostel part, it was still a bit noisy because of the music of the bars in the main street. We had hearplugs so no problem for us, we had a good sleep!
The staff was very helpful and friendly. They organise many activities, such as traditional dinner, walking tours as well as hikes in the Albanian Alps. Bikes are available at a very reasonable price. We could store our luggage while we were on the mountains which was great!

United KingdomThe only thing i can think of is the street is quite loud at night, so if you're a light sleeper, can be abit of an issue. Maybe the showers could be more thoroughly cleaned, i kept my flip flops on because didn't feel comfortable being barefoot in there.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was awesome, so much to choose from! Free dinners on some nights which is great if you're on a budget! Also good way to socialise and get to know people. The staff were also very helpful with booking my trip to Theth :)

GermanyNothing.
It felt like home and all the people there made it feel like it. They offered me help with organizations of my trips in albania or transportation. I could see they dont do this like a meaningless job, but everything they did came from the heart. Its still mindblowing to me to have the opportunity to meet like minded people, adventurous and open, fun and very brave, also hearing the stories or making jokes every evening at the hostel mini bar was something i will never forget. I have lived in albania , then moved to germany and came back, stumbled upon this safe simple place and hand the best vacation ever. If u need connection, some fun, if u need people that are travelers like you, if you are solo in a group of friends or a couple, give it a try. The Wanderers Hostel will show you the way..

MexicoI wish the towel racks hadn’t been right about the toilet because no one could use the toilet without taking them down first. A bathmat would’ve also been helpful.
I love the new private rooms… the space is well used and there are plenty of plugs. I like the communal dinner so we get to know everybody, and the big garden area. The breakfasts are ample and there’s always coffee. There are plenty of bikes to use if you’d like to rent them. And the area is great, right near the pedestrian area where there are plenty of restaurants

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!
