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.).

Netherlands- The spa was under construction and the swimming pool was closed but its understandable as it wasn’t summer. - People could smoke inside the hall (but we believe this is allowed in the country). - We got used to it, but there was music on during the day (we also believe this happens in all horeca in the country).
- The complex is very beautiful and is surronded by nature, vineyard and has a lot of areas for relax. - All the staff was exceptional: kind, humble, always checking on us, recommending us places to go… - It was very clean!! - We could have our meals outside but also inside, which is very nice as one can decide where to eat.

United KingdomDue to the location, it wasn't as accessible to travel into Durres and Tirana as easy as I expected, however, if you are looking for a relaxing, slow paced and family orientated experience like spending time around the pool etc, this hotel would be an excellent choice. During my stay, I developed good relationships with various taxi drivers and found the journey into Durres easy by the end of the trip, so I was not put off by the distance as the trip progressed.
The hospitality of the staff was excellent as I always felt looked after and catered in relation to my needs as a guest. The staff always went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible by making sure I was well fed and catered for in my room through taking care when washing my clothes etc. The staff were excellent at giving me recommendations about places to visit and eat and were very efficient at ordering me taxi's into Durres and surrounding areas.

CroatiaThe service by the personnel during the breakfast and dinner is really, really slow...luckily we were not in a hurry but if we were...
The object is perfect, few rooms surrounded by the beautiful pool in which you can get a drink as there is a pool bar. The restaurant serves perfect food and wine and the price is more than affordable.

SwedenThe breakfast was not as good as expected. A simple omelette was served with a few slices of cucumber and tomatoes, 2 slices of ham and a stick of cheese. No drinks were offered for the breakfast.
The resort was beautiful and clean and with car not too far from Durrës. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were exactly as shown in the pictures and the pool area was great.

FinlandFor a supposed 5-star resort you would expect more attention to detail. Few times we were denied simple services such as having a cocktail or orange juice, because the "right person" wasn't there. We weren't offered any drinks during breakfast and had to pay for water when asked, but came to learn only afterwards that coffee and hot tea were included. Hopefully these small things will iron out in the future.
Beautiful looking resort, in the middle of the wine yards. Huge property to enjoy a walk around and meet with some animals. You can enjoy dinner at a table with no one around since there is so many different areas to sit in the vast garden. The pool is great, again with a variety of sunbathing areas. The room was beautiful, luminous and with great views of the property. The hotel staff was very kind and helpful with what they could.

United KingdomIt was a lovely place, exactly what we wanted, far enough from a town centre so we could relax and switch off. Obviously, it depends on what your preference is. We always go for small and quiet places as we find them more friendly and perfect for children who can run around and enjoy a bit of freedom. Vinea Resort also serves good food and wine so what else you can ask for? Vinea Resort was fulfilling our expectations.

United Arab EmiratesFrom the moment we arrived the staff were pretty miserable - when we checked in and paid (not a small amount of money) they never been made eye contact or said thank you. No one offered to help with our bags. We had to find someone to take our drinks order at the pool and breakfast service was terrible. We did find a waitress eventually but she literally ran away from us. We did complain and the second day was better - but for this kind of hotel it really wasn’t acceptable. There is also no Spa - not sure why it is called one. The pool is beginning to look a little tired. They also tried to charge us our bill twice on check out. It was just a bit of a miserable hotel - definitely not the luxury destination that it sells itself as - this was our most expensive but least impressive hospitality in our whole trip in Albania. Such a shame as in the vineyard with the surroundings it could be a real gem.
The hotel is beautiful, nicely restored- the rooms were lovely. Nice pool and restaurant. We ate in the restaurant in the evening twice and the food was fantastic - local with a great waiter who took time to give you information. Special shout out to the horse riding lead - this was a great addition and the children loved it.

Portugalwe arrived on a Sunday and the pool was filled with people and lots of children running around and shouting. in the end I found out they were not guests of the hotel. Zero calmness to relax. the restaurant service was not good, the breakfast was ridiculously bad. Staff was not polite at all, there were lots of young people working there, laughing and making fun in Albanian. the hotel was also not that clean. And it was very expensive, not a 4 star hotel, a 2 or 3 hotel with 5-star prices.
the hotel could be nice. it was big, there was pool and a restaurant. nothing worked well.
