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 extremely friendly and helpful at every step. The girls were so attentive. On our departure day, after checking out, they still allowed us to stay by the pool. We were also able to change our clothes. Breakfast was exactly as expected — good. We were given directions to the parking spot, and since we had a larger car, the hotel manager (I believe it was the manager) moved his own car so we could have the space. Thank you! The pool was very nice.
Really, nothing. All was super!

Verified reviewFrom the moment we stepped into the hotel, everything was perfect. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the check-in process was fast and smooth. The room was extremely clean, spacious, and comfortable; both the furniture and the bed quality were excellent. Daily cleaning was carried out regularly, and the towels and sheets were spotless. The common areas of the hotel were also well-maintained and tastefully decorated. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, clearly prepared with fresh ingredients. The staff were helpful in every way, attending to even our smallest requests promptly. The location is also very convenient, close to attractions and restaurants. In short, the service and comfort exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back for our next holiday.
We didn’t have any negative experiences at all.Thank you for everything.

Verified reviewI had the pleasure of staying 6 nights at the Area Hotel in Ksamil, Albania this July, and everything about the experience was simply splendid. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, providing everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Each morning started with a generous and delicious breakfast, more than sufficient to set you up for the day. What truly made my stay exceptional, however, was the amazing staff. A special thank you to Erta and Mika, who were consistently friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout my time there. Their warmth and professionalism really added a personal touch to the experience. I would highly recommend the Area Hotel to anyone visiting Ksamil – it’s a perfect blend of comfort, service, and hospitality.
