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.).

GermanyAphrodite's Garden is a small, wonderful oasis above Himare. The view of the bay from the terrace at breakfast or dinner is fantastic. The hosts go to great lengths to ensure that you feel at home and want for nothing. We had a great time here and will recommend it to others. Thank you for your hospitality (and the yummy jam). :)

United KingdomA wonderful stay at Aphrodite’s Garden! Our room was lovely and clean with a comfortable balcony and our towels were refreshed during our stay without asking. Complimentary water and toiletries upon our arrival which was appreciated. We had a lovely seafood dinner in the restaurant and the included breakfast was plentiful and delicious! Warm and friendly staff and a fabulous owner who went above and beyond throughout our stay, even digging out her printer to print us our boarding passes when we left! Excellent proximity to beaches, Aquarium was our favourite, and close to Himarë castle ruins. We will be recommending to our friends and family!

United Arab Emirates-
Location, view, peace and quietness!! Aphrodite's garden is a tiny piece of heaven in Himare. We stayed for 2 nights, and wished we could have stayed longer. It has a beautiful view of Livadhi beach. The place is run by Irini who is very pleasant and an amazing cook. We had dinner on both nights and you could tell each dish was cooked with a lot of care. Aphrodite's garden also comes with a family of 5 adorable and playful kittens/cats. Highly recommended place for a peaceful, quiet and rejuvenating stay.

United KingdomWish we could stay more longer
Highly recommended this place. This was my favourite and the beessttt stay throughout my whole Albania trip. Everything was 10/10 -host, service, foods, room, facilities, cleanliness and location. First, as soon as you walk in, you will see the beautiful garden with lots of plants and a hammock swing to relax. Garden itself is soo pretty and has lovely decorations- it’s well maintained and looked after. We used to come back early from our day trip to chill outside her garden and watch breathtaking view and the sunsets. It’s very peaceful and quiet place to relax. Secondly, apartment is a new built, and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the whole room itself was perfect with balcony; shower was spacious and clean. Room service was fantastic. They topped up the toilet paper, replaced the towel and changed bedsheet everyday. We had an issue with toilet on our first day as it was not flushing. Host responded to it quickly and toilet was fixed within less than 5mins by calling kithe plumbers at night. Lastly, host (sorry I forgot your name) is sooooo kind, loving and very hard working. She is one of the best host I have ever met. She ensured our stay was pleasant and had great communication. Breakfast was 1000/10- it was so delicious, made fresh daily, and lots of varieties. Another best part is its different menu everyday. We had a fresh orange juice squeezed from their own garden’s orange. Host is a chef too- she cooks really good food. I would highly recommend to eat here too. We had our dinner here- portions is so big and worth every penny and you get free dessert on house, which was very thoughtful and kind of her. Thank you so much for making our stay so beautiful and memorable. Everything was perfect- this place has my heart. I still miss this place. P.s thank you for giving us complementary wine too and Maria (volunteer) it was lovely to meet you. Hope you enjoyed your rest week there.
