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):
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.).

FranceNot a lot of place in the parking lot
A nice hotel with a magnificent view of the nearby beaches. The room was simple but had everything we needed: the real plus of this hotel was truly the outdoor terrasse and the breakfast, which was enormous, varied and made fresh to order. We chose to eat at the hotel both nights during our stay: the menu was varied and ingredients high quality. The bar menu offered a selection of signature cocktails that we also enjoyed. Staff was absolutely lovely: the family clearly has mastered their business and they were some of the friendliest people we met during our 10 days in Albania

PortugalThe parking area was quite chaotic: it's small, unmarked, and doesn’t guarantee a spot. The check-in felt a bit rushed, and messages sent before check-in were never answered. Also, having a car is highly recommended to get to the beach — the walk is not that short and includes a steep hill, which can be tough, especially on hot days.
Hotel and restaurant with fantastic views. Spacious room, clean, with a comfortable bed. The restaurant was excellent, with delicious food and amazing cocktails. Breakfast was delightful — very generous, and it changed from day to day, which was a nice surprise.

MaltaI had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful beachfront property! From the moment I arrived, I was swept away by the stunning views, relaxing atmosphere, and warm hospitality. The vibes here are truly something special. The on-site restaurant was a highlight of my trip. Every meal was exceptional – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Chef Irini is a true culinary artist, and each dish felt like it was made with both skill and heart. The cocktails were equally impressive, perfectly mixed and a joy to sip while watching the sunset. My personal favorites Esspresso Martini and Himarita. A special thank you to Spiro, our wonderful host, whose friendly energy and attention to detail made me feel right at home. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure every moment of my stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a place by the beach with incredible food, great drinks, and genuine hospitality, this is the spot. I can’t wait to come back!

BrazilThe only issue is that the hotel restaurant had no vegetarian options for dinner. Luckily, the hotel next door (Persephone) had a few options. It should be added to the menu!
It was the best cost-benefit we had in Albania. The room is comfortable, the location is good, and we could rest and relax, off to a good start for a road trip around the Albanian coast. I would have stayed an extra night if I had known we would enjoy it that much. And there were other nice beaches to explore nearby, but I preferred Sarande. Ksamil was also too busy and expensive. Himare's surroundings were better and less crowded, in my opinion. Gjipe is a must-see!

Very well kept property, owners worked hard to maintain it. Beautiful view over the sea. The dinner is amazing and breakfast generous! Our AC broke and they provided a solution immediately and fixed the next night.

United KingdomLocated at the top of a hill, so without a car might be tricky however taxis are available and cheap to the beach.
Everything was perfect from start to finish of our trip. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views from the restaurant, especially for sunset. A must to have an evening at the restaurant, food is 10/10! Breakfast is also great, such variety every day and freshly homemade. The staff went above and beyond and couldn’t do enough for you, on hand to help with any recommendations, days out and also organising taxis. Thank you for a perfect stay for our first ever visit here to Albania, we will definitely be back!

New ZealandIt’s a cute little hotel on top of a hill in Himare with a beautiful outlook over the water. It’s only 5 mins drive from Himare centre and the same to the nearest beach - Livadh Beach. It also has a bistro on site that serves lovely food and great cocktails. We arrived early and they were very accommodating with us checking in early. All the staff were extremely lovely. The rooms were clean and a good size for a couple of nights. I would suggest hiring a car or other vehicle if you are going to stay here as it would make it a bit easier getting around but we walked or caught a taxi and managed okay. Would absolutely stay here again.

United KingdomThis hotel, surrounded by lovely greenery and flowers, has a spectacular view with a beautiful restaurant. The hotel is on top of a hill with easy parking access. The parking is not right outside the of the hotel but you can drive your car up, drop your suitcases before parking your car under a minute walk away. It is very close 2-3 min drive to Livadhi beach, that has beach clubs and bars, and less than 5 minutes drive to the main beach in Himare which has both public and private areas to sit along with all the shops and restaurants. It is a family run property and the owners here are so friendly and really considerate. If you want the best view, be sure to book the room with a sea view although it doesn’t matter which room you get as you’ll eat breakfast in the garden with the view and be able to sit in the garden for dinner if you wish anyway. The rooms are simplistic and good enough for what you need. The breakfast is so generous and very tasty. Such a variety for everyone, including children. A range of delicious sweet or savoury options with eggs cooked to your preference too. It’s important to mention that the staff hired to work here at the restaurant offer service that is above the standard what we received throughout the many places we visited in Albania. They are really attentive and want to make an effort with all guests both at breakfast and dinner. If you are staying here, be sure to try the restaurant because the menu is great, the food is delicious and the home made wine and lemoncello even better!

SlovakiaHowever, the main downside was the noise during the night. Since check-in is allowed until 11 PM and the rooms are not soundproof at all, we could hear everything – loud talking, banging, and even shouting. Unfortunately, it made it hard for us to get a good night’s sleep. Other than that, we enjoyed our time there and appreciated the hospitality.
The view from the property was absolutely stunning – overlooking the beach and the surrounding landscape. We also really enjoyed the homemade food, which was fresh, tasty, and full of local flavor. The staff were kind and welcoming throughout our stay.
