Our weighted 10-point Holiday Score combines Google's overall rating, review volume, and sentiment around specific topics (service, food, atmosphere, accessibility). Sub-dimension scores weight category-specific signals — for restaurants we look at food and value mentions; for hotels at cleanliness and location; for beaches at water quality and facilities. Accessibility is weighted from verified wheelchair and mobility attributes.
Scores above 8.5 represent outstanding quality. 10.0 is reserved for editorial picks.
Why we like it
We appreciate museums that feel lived-in rather than sterile, and this one does. The blend of archeology and everyday ethnography — textiles, household objects, coins — tells a fuller story of Shkodër than artifacts alone could. The curator's presence matters; it's the difference between looking at objects and understanding them.
