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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

They do excelent servise and also make amazing pizza in their restaurant. If you are not looking for some fancy, luxury hotel this is the best choice you have. I mean it. We stayed only for 3 nights, but we loved them.

TurkeyEverything was perfect!
We stayed as two sisters and from the first moment, Ari and Aniesa made us feel at home. Ari is one of the funniest person we've ever met. When I had a stomach ache, Aniesa even made me herbal tea herself, which really helped. They are truly the kindest and most welcoming hosts we've ever met! The hotel is very close to the beach (4-5 mins walk), restaurants, and the bus stop to Saranda and Butrint (2 mins walk). Everything was amazing—cleanliness, service, location. We're so glad we stayed here and highly recommend it!

United KingdomHotel is better than you see in the pictures.
Ari and his family run the place, they are very friendly and helpful, just like family. They can help you with all the information you need. The hotel is located on the main road, Google map take you to the back road, so be careful with that. It is just few minutes walking distance from Poda beach bar. Nice parking place and also you can quick wash your car if needed. They made the traditional Albanian breakfast Petulla for us. I would definitely recommend this place if you want get away from commercial hotels and foods.

United StatesNothing, perfection all around.
Hotel Arsenal is absolutely the place to stay in Ksamil. The owners are so incredibly kind they make you feel like family! The breakfast is exceptional — served buffet style and with lots of options for every taste. The rooms are bright and clean and the bed is so comfortable I had trouble getting out of it in the morning. As a solo traveller, I felt safe and cared for. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! I will definitely be back and encourage friends and family to stay here when visiting Ksamil. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent at Hotel Arsenal and am already looking forward to the chance to return!

United StatesFrom the moment we arrived we knew our stay at Hotel Arsenal was going to be delightful. Ari, our host, extended us the warmest of welcomes and together with his lovely wife, Ana, they made sure we had everything we needed and they spoiled us with their generosity. This was, by far, the best experience we have had during our two weeks in Albania. We can highly recommend this property if you are looking for a wonderful time in southern Albania.
