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...).

NorwayWe had a pipe burst in the bathroom, so we had water everywhere and could not use the bathroom on the day of our departure. Im sure they fixed this for the next guests, though.
Fantastic location inside the castle. Spacious room. Helpful staff.

SloveniaOn the top of the castle, unique view to the valley. Dining on the walls of castle. You can park in front of the restaurant. No additional charge for a dog. Nice walk to the old market of Kruja.

United KingdomRoom described as deluxe, but was pretty basic. Not as well equipped, nor as good value for money, as other places we stayed in Albania, but views do compensate! Family are keen for you to dine in their restaurant, but there are arguably better alternatives in Kruje.
Great location and views. Family were friendly and helpful.

AustraliaBooking.com advertises that credit cards are accepted and cash isn’t. It is just the opposite! No cards, cash only up front. Fortunately we had enough cash but others didn’t, which necessitated a 500m walk down the steep road to an ATM. The road up to Emilianos is VERY steep and our shuttle from the airport couldn’t make it up, so we had to drag our cases over broken cobblestones and rocks for some 400m up the steep hill. We are in our mid 70’s!
Very welcoming staff and great being able to eat on the top of the castle. Food was good, the room was comfortable.

El SalvadorOne of our pillows smelled like someone had sweated over it, luckily we had many spare ones. The beds did their job but their stability is not that strong, therefore you have to move very carefully on them.
This place is very unique, it is very spacious, you are on top of a hill, which means clean air for your lungs! You are also in a historical site, right in front of a watchtower and former chapel. The staff were really kind and helpful, they offered us some dinner, too bad we have had a huge lunch before our arrival so we skipped it. The room was very big, fresh and it had the essentials.

FranceThe only issue was with the payment as they only accept cash even though in the reservation is well written that we can pay by card. And even when we said OK for the cash amount they did a weird convesion rate lek-euro. So make sure you bring euros.
Great location, the room was as expected and everything was fine and the tower view is really nice!

United KingdomIt was cold in the room as the windows didn't fully seal out the cold wind from outside.
Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing building right in the grounds of the castle and only a short walk to the old bazaar. Really good food too. I stayed in Kruja as an alternative to an airport hotel and this was definitely a good choice.
