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 KingdomI felt rushed at breakfast, this is the only hotel I have ever encountered that charges extra, depending on how you like your egg's. Charging for car parking is ridiculous for a out of city hotel
The staff were friendly and service was excellent.

United KingdomI am afraid the spar was a complete let down well past its best and more than read for a refurbish. The jacuzzi had only half the jets working there were a huge number of tiles missing which made the unit feel dirty and the switch for turning the jets on were behind a unit for used towels with NO sign to indicate this. Only found out by another guest switching it on. Real shame because it really bring down all the other great parts of the hotel.
The breakfast at the hotel was amazing and in keeping with a star resort accommodation. The staff were excellent and the service we received from the "Car Parking" staff was clos the very best in the world which made such a hue difference to our say. There was always someone there to park the car and have it ready for departure.

GermanyThe bathroom has no lock available. Not every room has a balcony. The private beach is kind of a misleading one. It is indeed decorated as private one, but it was available to everyone. Also the beach doesn't have any sand there. Instead m, they constructed a platform on top of the beach and provided stairs to get into the sea. And the floor of the sea was filled with pebbles, which could be painful if you misfoot on one of them. This was a major drawback to me.
The location was really centric and easy to access from the city center. 3 kms only from the main bus terminal. The indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi were good. The spa center comes with a lot of facilities. The room was good in size, with a sofa and a double bed. You get a boiler, hair dryer, table, chairs,Tv, etc. You wont find any things missing there. The breakfast was good with a lot of options to choose from. You can get to Durres by public transport also from here, there is a nearby bus stop. Lot of popular restaurants nearby where you can enjoy delicious seafood for dinner.

United KingdomMost of the hot items in the food warmer at breakfast were cold to lukewarm apart from the scrambled eggs - we did mention this to the staff but it didn't improve. The gym doesn't open until 9am, so too late to go before breakfast. No sun loungers around the pool - it's surrounded by tables for people eating and drinking and smoking. It's not a pretty beach at all and you mainly have a view of the port and construction, but we did know that and chose the location as it's close to the airport.
The hotel itself is lovely, staff are good, room very well equipped and comfortable. Easy walk to lots of places to eat and supermarkets

United KingdomI didn't like that when asking for a taxi the reception would use their private taxi, which was quite a bit more expensive than other taxis!
The breakfast was amazing. There is so much choice, sadly alot of it I couldn't eat because I'm gluten intolerant, however the girls very kindly arranged for the cook to make me gluten free crepes & petulla. Which was really kind. The girls are really hardworking. The room (I had deluxe double room with balcony & sea view) was super luxurious & lovely, bed was very comfortable & was cleaned brilliantly. I had the sweetest, loveliest housekeeper Rita, she is a real credit to the hotel & an extremely hardworking but cheerful lady. The whole hotel is kept really clean. You get complimentary water every day in your room, really nice touch. The Spa is amazing...I highly recommend Therapeutic massages by Engji. The restaurant staff were lovely too & really friendly

United KingdomCan't fault anything at all.
Everything was exceptional, from the moment we arrived we were looked after. We were given a free upgrade to a lovely large room with a balcony and the whole hotel was very classy. A lovely relaxed atmosphere amd the breakfasts were lovely, ingredients were fresh and we had all we could ask for. Also, we could go out on the balcony in the breakfast room and watch the sea. Beautiful location, the Spa was very relaxing we had sauna, jacuzzi and steam room and also the massage we had was lovely. Definitely would recommend this to anyone not sure of where to book.. Nicest and smartest hotel on the beachfront by a mile.

Czech RepublicI was very sad about the cleanliness. The bathroom resembled a cheap hostel, not a 5 star hotel. I payed around 90 euros for a night, so i expected at least something complimentary, some stupid chocolate on a pillow or anything. I am probably just a whiny kid. Also the breakfast was not very exciting, some eggs and sausages, but nothing to make me say WOW.
The location is the main selling point. It is very close to the beach and it works like a typical vacation resort. The room i stayed in was indeed pretty, it looked like a 5 star and i was very happy at first. I also have to mention the great spa, it was very refreshing to go for a swim in a pool after a hot day. There is also a nice outside seating area around another pool.
