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.).

SwedenThere is an elevator, but it is small and rather slow, which affects its capacity. A family of 4 might not always be able to ride it at the same time, because of the weight limit and size. Still, this is just a minor detail in the whole of it all.
The location is perfect. Within walking distance to the city centre, but far enough to be in a quiet neighbourhood. It is close to really good beaches, with good restaurants. The interior of the hotel is really nice and clean. The room is nicely decorated and modern with all the facilities you can expect. The room is attended to daily and is spotless. All the staff was really friendly and helpful. This is a great and affordable hotel close to great restaurants, supermarkets and the city centre. 24-hour desk service as well.

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing. Would go back in a heartbeat and recommend others to go!
Thank you so much Armar for making my stay in Sarandë amazing! My room was beautiful, lots of space, clean and comfy and the balcony was exceptional. The family are wonderful, friendly and they clearly care about each other and about the quality of experience for those who stay. Great recommendations for what to do during my stay, including places to visit and restaurants. I was sad to leave! Location was great, view of the promenade from my room, a short walk to the port and tour providers, and a Spar market very close for necessities. Thank you again and I hope to return one day!

United KingdomThat I was only staying one night.☹️
The hotel is located close to the beaches, but nice and quiet in the evenings. Everything is nearby. About 4-5 minutes from the port. There is a lovely terrace at the front to enjoy your morning coffee! The staff are super helpful. Breakfast is good with cereal, cold choices, fried and boiled eggs. And cake👍

BelgiumThe shower was sometimes warm, sometimes cold, changing by itself back and forth. As mentioned in other comments already, information about parking is confusing, and ultimately parking was paid (8 euro a day), which wouldn't even be the main issue. The problem is that one requires to give the car key to the parking owner, which is surely not something we were willing to do. However, the hotel kindly resolved this problem and found alternative parking possibility. There were some darker long hair in the room once we checked in (in the shower, on the bathroom door, under the beds), so cleaning is a bit superficial. There was quite some noise, especially in the mornings, in the corridor and nearby rooms, so sound isolation is not very good. Some of my cosmetics were trashed / taken away by cleaning personnel - these were leftovers, I admit (for environmental reasons I attentively try to use all of it and cut all my packages before trashing), but these were put on my bedside table, on purpose just next to my cosmetics bag in a very neat way signalling I am using them. It is not a big loss, but I would like my things not to be trashed, especially because we left no other trash anywhere, not even a small napkin or so, hence it shall be clear it's something we are using. Finally, this is not a criticism for a hotel but rather a general comment on regulation in Albania - an underage person (very professional, though, as it is written above), is allowed to work with money and sensitive personal data, which is very surprising and unacceptable in many countries.
The room (and more generally the entire hotel) seems new and modern, including a modern bathroom (not the case everywhere in Albania so we paid attention to have showers properly separated). The room was generally big and spacious, with all needed facilities, as described in the booking info. Good location, close to restaurants, bars, shops, etc. They accepted payments with a credit card which is still an issue in some other hotels in Albania. We also enjoyed the fact that the air conditioning was new and hence rather quiet. The hotel staff was kind to offer alternative parking solution as we refused to give away car keys to people we don't know. The staff (namely, a young guy) was very professional, helpful, spoke good English.

Had a very nice stay. The boutique hotel is lovely, the staff super nice, the room was cute and quiet. The breakfast was delicious, the buffet was rich and there were new things added daily (we stayed 2 nights). The location is great as there are several very good beaches within 5-7 min walk. Also, the towels were very soft and thick. Loved our stay here.
