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 StatesWe had a fantastic stay - the owners and staff at Blue Water Hotel are extremely welcoming, the chef is excellent (best food we had in Ksamil!), and our room and the hotel generally were spotlessly clean. The pool and hot tub were not yet open but will be soon. We look forward to enjoying the pool on our next stay!

AustriaThere are cheaper options, but holidays in ksamil are nowadays not a cheap option in general, unfortunately.
Blue Water Hotel is a beautiful place, with very very nice and friendly stuff - we really felt at home. The whole hotel is perfectly clean, breakfast was very good as well!

GermanyWhile we were there, there were several groups of guys that obviously were looking for a party place (which this hotel is NOT). We didn't sleep that well because of all the noise. The walls seem very thin, we heard everything and woke up several times because of shouting, music etc.
The staff was super friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were great. Amazing breakfast and a very nice pool area, where we chilled a lot. You really feel that you are in vacation. The room was spacious and very clean. The location is great, very close to the centre and beaches but not loud or crowded.

United KingdomNothing it was amazing in every way
Well the hotel certainly gave us the wow factor as soon as we pulled up in the taxi. It looked so inviting and very modern. We was then greeted by Kevin who was lovely and was taken to our room which again was lovely and up to date we had the superior room which was well equipped and very clean. We then had dinner and was greeted by Urdan he was lovely too very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was absolutely amazing to say the least. Me and my partner are big foodies and chose bed and breakfast as we like to eat out and taste different foods. But the food was absolutely amazing here we only ate out once during our stay as the food and presentation was like Michelin star food. The chefs were amazing too and accommodated us in every way even at breakfast when we asked for poached eggs and an eggs Benedict which was amazing. Tillie who we called Billy for the whole of our stay and Urgan and Lillie I think his name was totally made our food experience and we couldn’t praise them enough. We also had Genaro a young lad that served the drinks and is learning the ropes also looked after us very well. It pays to be complimentary to everyone as we got treated like royalty to say the least. Didn’t want to leave them all as they made our stay very enjoyable. Would highly recommend this gem of a hotel trust me you won’t be disappointed.

United KingdomThe rooms are slightly deceiving in the pictures, much smaller in real life. They are quite small but still clean and comfortable.
This was a lovely stay, location is good and not too far from the beach. The pool is lovely and the hotel is located near lots of restaurants, bars and supermarkets. Breakfast is good and the stay is good value for money.

United KingdomTo be honest the room isn't huge compared to others in Albania and the views aren't great as Ksamil is quite developed but this is no reason not to stay again and just being super picky
The breakfast was brilliant with choice for everyone - chocolate and banana pancakes were exceptional. I'm told the mirrors were really good. The pool is a good space and the hotel is clean and quiet in general and happy to help as needed - providing us with a blanket on request.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn’t enjoy was the bed. It was too hard for our preferences.
The location is perfect is not in the middle of the rush centre. Ir is peaceful and quiet, but it is really close to it, literally 2 minutes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Always smiling, the boy at the restaurant made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was tasty compared to other places in town. Breakfast was had many options and always something new each day. Cleanliness was on point. Room was spacious with beautiful view and decor. We would definitely come back to this hotel specifically. Would definitely recommend to friends as well!
