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.).

United KingdomWe ate in the hotel on our first evening. I ordered chicken risotto (lovely although a bit salty) and my boyfriend ordered beef stroganoff. The stroganoff was terrible, 3 unidentifiable bits of meat that we’re not convinced was beef with no rice or anything on the side. The meat was inedible, tough and gristly so when the lovely waiter came to check he apologised and came back with the chef. The chef was not happy that we, the paying customer, had complained about the food. He was very rude and tried to say he had no English so couldn’t understand what we were saying and then when my boyfriend asked him to take his food away he suddenly discovered he could speak English well enough to insult us and call us names. We were having some wine with dinner, he then called us drunks and got very threatening to my boyfriend. We told him to just go away and leave us alone. The waiter who was serving us was so embarrassed and apologetic but it was not his fault. We work in hospitality, we know it’s a tough gig but when someone says their food is not good enough they need to be treated with far more respect than this. Buffet breakfast was very sparse but possibly offers more choice during peak season?
The view!! Make sure you get a sea view room. Nice pool and the beach area in front of the hotel is nice. Lovely comfy bed, lovely bedding, big towels, aircon worked well, decent size although slightly dated bathroom. The reception and waiting staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Location is good, close enough to walk into Durrës and explore there.

FranceThe cleaning staff talked very loudly in the corridor outside the room from around 8:00-9:00 on the two mornings and as the rooms aren't sound proof it makes sleeping a bit difficult. The WiFi in the restaurant, poolside and beach area was okay but in the room it was terrible and you had to stand by the door to get a connection.
The beds were comfortable, the room was very clean and the shower was great. We had a family room which had a bunk bed for our kids. There was also a TV with some kids channels. The pool was very nice and the bar downstairs had affordable prices. The location makes accessing the city a bit complicated unless you walk (45 minutes ) or take a taxi (for around €8). But there are also plenty of restaurants, an ATM and two medium sized supermarkets within 200 metres of the hotel so you have all you need if you want to just chill out rather than explore. The pool was nice and the check on was quick and easy.
