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.).

AustraliaLike many places in Albania, there is a lot of construction on adjoining properties. We don’t blame the owners or staff but on occasions the excavation noise did detract from the otherwise peaceful and quiet location - only during the day. The power went off a few times during our stay due to work by electrical contractors. No bed lamps.
The view of Himare and mountains is outstanding. The ocean is about 70 metres away and the water is clear and clean and ideal for a swim. We liked the quiet location away from beach bars and bustle and were happy to walk 30 mins to the main part of town. There is no breakfast so we went to nearby restaurants and that was fine. Parking and wifi were easy to access. The lady we dealt with was friendly and helpful and everything was clean and well maintained.

United KingdomBathroom was quite small, impossible to have s shower without making everything wet. Having a kettle in the room would be a great bonus.
Balcony with a lovely view and beach is two minutes walk away. Comfortable and secure parking. Very friendly host. There is a tiny drinks area where we had a nice coffee on our last day!

United Kingdom- Exceptional customer service. We got picked up and dropped off at town centre upon arriving and leaving Himare. I was unwell on the last day and the husband drove my partner to the pharmacy and waited. Thank you, we highly appreciated this. - Hotel owners provided help/guidance with onward travel, given information about transport online isn't the most reliable. - The room was modern, nicely decorated and had smart installation. The aircon and the balcony door being in sync, I.e. aircon shuts automatically when balcony door is open - so clever! - Location was great, it is beachfront and the views were spectacular. - We liked the communal bar/kitchen area where you can make your own coffee and relax. - One of the best value for money accommodations we've stayed at and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

United KingdomIt would be nice if there was a breakfast offering. This is not central Himara so if you’re looking for lots and lots of bars and people then this isn’t the place for you but it was perfect for us.
The room was beautifully clean and cleaned every day during our stay. It was a good size, the bathroom was great with a separate shower area (which is not so common in the other places we stayed in Albania). The AC was great and the balcony was lovely in the mornings and evening but too hot in the afternoons! The good sized fridge and freezer box were useful too. The hotel is steps to the beach with free and secure parking. It’s at the best bit of the beach too with crystal clear (if cold) water due to the springs. There were comfortable loungers and shade available provided by the hotel. The family were all really nice and friendly.

Beautiful views, best beach at our doorstep. We had plans to drive to other beaches, but why bother when we had crystal clear water in front of us. The most perfect, quiet side of Himare. Lovely Resteraunts and bars within walking distance. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. The espressos and beach chairs were a fabulous surprise. Faleminderit Mila and family.
