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.).

BelgiumWe had a wonderful stay at Artemis' hotel in Himare, Albania. She was an excellent hostess, attentive to our needs throughout our visit. The view from our room was simply phenomenal, offering exceptional tranquility. Every aspect of the room, from the bathroom to the terrace, was meticulously clean and beautifully finished. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

My partner and I had an amazing stay! Prior to our arrival, Artemis sent me recommendations for places to eat and tours and helped us coordinate a boat tour. Our room was comfortable, clean and literally on the water…the sound of the water was so relaxing. The hotel was a short walk to the main promenade with restaurants and bars, however we opted to eat breakfast at the hotel because it was a great view of the water and city and had delicious options, including traditional pancakes! Will definitely stay here again if we travel back to Himare!

United KingdomArtemis was a kind host who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She had the best recommendations for things to do and places to eat. This was, in my view, the best property in the town of Himara. Having travelled in Europe extensively, haven’t ever experienced a property where you are literally on water.

United KingdomWe couldn’t recommend Artis Blue enough, it was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived Artemis was super friendly and helpful, she made our stay extra special. The room itself was as beautiful as the photos and really clean. The bed was comfortable and we loved the bath and extra little terrace area. Being able to sit right on the waters edge was amazing. We also had breakfast upstairs one morning and it was delicious and great value for money. If I’m ever back in Albania I will be staying again, thank you!

Artis blue relax is in the most special & beautiful location. Our stay there was sensational. Artemis, the host, provided the most comfortable and enjoyable stay. She is generous and makes you feel so welcome and at home. All the little touches made the stay even better. So much so we extended our stay. We felt so lucky to stay here and will remember it forever! (And hopefully go back!) Artis blue relax është në vende shume e veçantë dhe shume e bukur. Qëndrimi ynë atje ishte i perfekt. Artemis ofroi qëndrimin më të rehatshëm dhe të këndshëm. Ajo ju bën të ndiheni shume të mirëpritur dhe në shtëpi. Të gjitha prekjet e vogla e bënë qëndrimin edhe më të mirë. Aq shumë e zgjatëm qëndrimin tonë. Ne u ndjemë shumë me fat që qëndruam këtu dhe do ta kujtojmë përgjithmonë! (Dhe shpresojmë të kthehemi!)

AustraliaWe struggled to find the place as its under a separate hotel but Artemis was waiting for us in the street to guide us to the accommodation.
Artis Blue is in a very unique position in this town. You are basically sleeping with water lapping at your door. New, modern comfortable room. Artemis (host) is amazing and nothing is too hard. She even did our laundry!!!! Parking also provided in a difficult to park town which is a bonus. Thanks to Artemis and family for making this stay a memorable stay. Highly recommend

A gem of a place in Himare. This property is unique for various reasons be it cos of the structure, design and decor and also because of the owner. Arto does not only make sure that everything is up to standard but goes out of her way to make it a memorable stay; this makes the place feel even more special; a home away from home.

Beautiful setting, right on the edge of the sea, close enough to the restaurants and bars but far enough away to feel secluded. Excellent host too, she couldn’t do enough for us and we really appreciated it! She recommended a boat trip which was a real highlight.

United KingdomAmazing views, stunning facilities and a perfect location but the best bit was how kind and attentive Artemis was throughout the entire trip. We felt so looked after, she went above and beyond. We can’t thank you enough. Can’t forget the personal touches like the three pink robes for our girls trip and the flowers in the stand alone bath tub with view across the sea - don’t stay anywhere else in Himare!

Staying at Artis Blus is like staying at home, but with all additional comfort. Artemis takes care of us like family, but she also takes care of every detail, offering high quality products, brand new towels and bed sheets and everything as first class. It is conveniently located with easy access to the boats' tours and restaurants, but it is still calm and silent. Be sure to book with Artis Blue and not with the other hotel located upstairs. And be sure to ask for a boat tour with Markus. He is a local fisherman and being with him and Artis Blue is also a way to learn and give more value to local people, despite still sleeping as kings.

United KingdomOne of the most beautiful rooms we have ever stayed in. The doors opening straight out on to the water were absolutely idyllic. The room was spotlessly clean with lots of lovely touches and the host was quick to communicate and really helpful. Breakfast upstairs was also brilliant. I can’t recommend Artis enough and wish we could have stayed another night. I’d also recommend hiring kayaks to explore the other bays nearby.

IsraelEverything was great!
This beautiful small hotel is well situated next to the beach - You can actually touch the water from your room's window (and I mean it!). Your room and bathroom are very well equipped for a great holiday in one of the most exiting places to visit in Albania. You can enjoy (for an extra payment) a great and diversified breakfast, offering a lot of options, and served on the sunny and beautiful balcony that looks directly into the sea and the small harbor. Most important, your host, Artis, offers a great and generous hospitality and guiding. This is a highly recommended place.
