How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThis is such a cute guesthouse run by the sweetest woman. She greeted me with a local liquor and snacks and served a truly exceptional breakfast each morning with a gorgeous view over Berat. The room was clean and private, which is exactly what I was looking for.
Don’t just Google the property when you’re going there. Make sure you use the address in Booking. Totally my mistake, but I ended up somewhere super weird. Also if you don’t have a car the climb up the hill is tough but worth it.

Verified reviewIf I could give Guesthouse Emiljano an 1000/10, I would. It is beautiful, exceptionally clean and in a really perfect location, situated very close to the castle (which if you didn’t know, is like an old town within itself). I cannot recommend Guesthouse Emiljano more. The host goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, it felt like a home away from home. I felt genuinely sad to leave. This is very very good value for money, in fact I think the host should charge more for the wonderful environment and experience that she creates. The breakfast was also beautiful.
We loved every single thing.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, a little bit walking up from the old town, but that was alright. We had a room with a big window and could look out over the landscape, hills and part of the town. The owner was very friendly and made delicious breakfast for us.

Verified reviewThe gueasthouse is super close to the castle and about 15 minutes walk from the river and the famous views. The owners are super nice and helpful. Breakfast was amazing with fruits, eggs, pastries, jams, coffee, tea and juice.
The parking is rather difficult if you are not used to super steep narrow roads. But the owners helped me park my car so it was all sorted.

Verified reviewFantastic place to stay. Host is very welcoming and prepared a lovely breakfast. Room and bathroom was spacious and comfortable. Easy to access by car with parking in the driveway. The location was great. Right next to the castle, and about 10-15 min downhill walk to the center and old town. Wonderful hospitality and excellent facilities. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're traveling by car.
Water in the shower wasn't very hot in the morning.

Verified reviewWe booked the double room with ensuite for 2 nights and immediately we felt we were received by a family member as we finally entered the well kept property. Liljana is an absolute delight and the embodiment of perfect hosting. The whole upper floor is dedicated with private entrance to guests and is immaculate. The room comes with an ensuite with a shower curtain/ glass, and with view of the castle. As mentioned previously by other guests in other reviews the breakfast area's view was breathtaking. Add to the marvellous view the excellent varied and healthy breakfast and you have reached nirvana. We will not forget this place and will strongly recommend it. Thank you for everything Liljana and gardener husband.
Nothing. Exceptional. A privileged spot in Berat near the castle.

Verified reviewThe hostess is so sweet, making the best of the best to make us feel comfortable! We arrived so tired, she offered some snacks and water at no extra charge! Breakfast was a full delicious one, served in a stunning view! She allowed us to use the toilet of the room after check out. She arranged a taxi for us to go back to the bus terminal for 5 €
The guesthouse is located close to the castle which is on a high hill! If you have luggage, a taxi or car is needed as the slope is so steep to the guesthouse. The set up of the guesthouse doesn’t help with getting to know people

Verified reviewPretty much everything was great. The host is super super nice and welcoming. The breakfast was so good, we were really happy about it and in addition the location itself offered a great view, which you will be able to enjoy during breakfast as well Everything you need or want to see is either right next to you or very close by
Can't really think of anything besides the white wine we bought there. It just wasn't any good sadly
