How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe staff were fabulous and location was great... the closest beach is the busiest but easy to walk a short way to a more relaxed beach and atmosphere. The hotel breakfast so good. Highly recommend for a stay that is easy and good value for Ksamil.
We didn't mind but the street facing rooms can be a wee bit noisy if you are a light sleeper but funny to watch the street action at night.

Verified reviewHotel is on excellent location. Everything you may need is there in a few steps, restaurants, grocery, pharmacy and most important beach. Exceptionally clean and fragrant room, spacious. Breakfast could be better and more varied. You can enjoy the unreal view of the sunset from the restaurant area .Staff was realy kind and friendly. Parking is available for free. I recommend this hotel and I will definitely come back.
The rooms on the street side are a little noisy because of the traffic and people passing by, but when you close the window everything is fine.

Verified reviewThe view from the balcony is absolutely stunning and so breathtaking, also it’s a great sized space. We had a double bed with a single and it was more than spacious for 2 of us. The bedding and towels were changed daily, it was super clean. Great shower and excellent wi-fi. The staff couldn’t do enough and were really friendly. The breakfast was huge and really filling for the day. The hotel is in the best location and a few minutes walk to the beach. The room is sound proof so you can’t hear the music from the nightclubs and the doors have double locking system so super secure and you have a safe in the room. This is an amazing hotel and simply has something about it, its family run and you feel right at home. Also the bus stop is outside if you’re coming or going from Sarande. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay in Afa Hotel. The staff was very welcoming and warm. The bedroom was not very big or luxurious but it covered all the basics. I must say that the suite was very clean. The shower doesn't have a tray so the water spreds a little throughout the badroom but that was the only negative thing to point out. Breakfast is not buffet and has less variety compared to other hotels. However the food tastes like homemade, super tasty! The ham and cheese toast, omelette, sausages and cream croissant were delicious! The hotel is close to the beach (less than 5minutes walking) and has many restaurants around. In front of it there are also a pharmacy and a supermarket. If you are looking for a place with a good value for money, I definitely recommend the Afa Hotel! I do not usually write long reviews like this but the staff truly deserves it.
It can be a bit noisy during the night, since it is located in a main street. Maybe get a shower tray for the bathroom.

Verified reviewThe accommodation met all our expectations. It is located centrally, but still away from the noisy bars and clubs. The room was very clean, spacious with comfortable beds. The breakfast in the morning was a set menu. Although not a buffet, the offering was more than fine for us: a choice between toast or eggs, then a croissant, bread with jam and butter, tomatoes... only one cup of coffee and a bottle of juice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The taverna within the establishment is also a very good option for having lunch/dinner. All in all a good choice for Ksamil.
The hotel is situated on the main road but that did not bother us particularly.

Verified reviewAmazing location, views over Ksamil are great - esp at sunset! It’s also just enough out of the intense beach club scene to be relaxing, but easily walkable to everything. Staff were really helpful, and the taverna downstairs was excellent. Parking was also really easy. All in all loved it!
Small thing and def not a dealbreaker, but bed was pretty hard.
