Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

It's a great budget stay. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. Everything was clean and the view from our room was down the main street of the city which was amazing.

JapanThe owner is not always present, so you’ll need to contact them when needed. The room I stayed in received a lot of sunlight, and even with the provided fan, it was quite hot during the summer
Around 10 minutes on foot from the bus station. Very close to Rruga Kolë Idromeno, a lively street lined with many shops. Several supermarkets nearby. Bicycles available for rent for about €1 per hour. The owner is kind and helpful. They can keep your luggage, which is very convenient for doing the Valbonë–Theth hike with only the essentials. The two restaurants the owner recommended were both delicious. The room was spacious. The toilet and shower were in the same room, but there was a partition, so the floor didn’t get soaked.

ItalyWe stayed at this lovely hostel right on Scutari’s pedestrian street (pedonalja), and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The location is unbeatable — right in the heart of the city, yet peaceful and quiet at night. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with beautifully decorated common areas that make it easy to meet other travelers or simply unwind. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to share tips about local spots and hidden gems.

KuwaitThe dorms don’t have air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable during hotter days. If you’re sensitive to heat, I’d suggest going for a private room with AC. Also, on the day I was checking out, there was an issue with a damaged overhead electrical wire, reportedly caused by a passing van. Unfortunately, the local electricity authority was very slow to respond—even after multiple complaints. The hostel staff did everything they could, including calling the police, who then contacted the electric board. Someone came, took photos, and left without fixing it. It seemed like a simple repair, but I don’t know when it was actually resolved. Despite these issues, the staff remained calm and supportive, and I truly appreciated their efforts.
I had a truly wonderful experience at this hostel. The staff were absolutely amazing—incredibly kind, warm-hearted, and genuinely committed to their work. You can feel the honesty and love they put into running this place, which made my stay feel like home. The location is perfect—right in the heart of everything. Whether you're exploring the city or just want easy access to restaurants, shops, and attractions, this place couldn't be better situated. Please note: the dorm rooms do not have air conditioning, so if you're someone who prefers AC, I highly recommend booking a private room, which comes with that comfort. Overall, this hostel is a gem—a place full of soul and hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again!

United StatesThere weren’t many people staying during our visit, so it felt quiet—which might be something to keep in mind for solo travelers looking to socialize.
Spent 2 nights here—one before the Valbonë–Theth hike and one after. The hostel is super chill, spacious, and in a great location right by the main street with restaurants, grocery stores, and bakeries. The host was very friendly and gave great recommendations. It’s only a 6-minute walk to the Theth/Koman bus stop. We appreciated the €3 laundry service after the hike and were able to store our larger bags while we were gone. There’s also bike rental for €5, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Overall, great value for money!

SpainWe had an excellent stay at My Hostel!! The place was very clean, well-equipped and super comfortable. The room was spacious and cozy, the kitchen had everything needed for simple cooking and everything worked perfectly. WiFi, hot shower, soap, toilet paper… all included. The neighborhood is very alive and full of restaurants, supermarkets, bars… but inside the hostel it gets quite and calm at night, perfect for a good rest. It has two open common areas to chill and some rooms have private balcony. One load for washing machine is 3€ and to rent a bike for the full day is 5€. Bruno works there and is very kind and makes you feel comfortable and welcome. We had a great time with him too; he's very friendly! My partner and I had a wonderful time there and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Bruno for your hospitality!!

FranceThe receptionist, although a little overworked between his jobs in the hostel and the bar downstairs, is really friendly and accessible, and made sure we had the nicest stay possible. The price is unbeatable, for that kind of price, we expected a shady and not so clean hostel, but it was definitely up to the standards of some 20-30 euros hostels you can find in Tirana. A must.

Excellent location in the middle of vibrant city centre, at the same time far away enough to be quiet at night. The hostel also rents bikes, the best way to move around in Shkoder and vicinity. The staff is extremely friendly and honest. I wanted to pay a certain sum for bike rental and they insisted on me paying less. What could be said more?
