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 apartment was tiny but it had everything. Just good enough for me and my son. Also the kindness and service of the owners was perfect
The steep climb to the apartment 😮💨🥵
Hi dear Dewkoemar. First of all, thank you for the comment and it is my first time replying to a guest comment respecting everyone. I just have to add some clarifications. First of I pick you up from the port and I take you there at 03:30 without any payment and it was my choice. Just to respect the time my father took you there. Second about the cleaning. My mom cleans your room every day but not in the morning hours as we expected like every guest going to the beach in the morning etc. She cleaned your room anyway so the 7.5 about cleaning I don't think is fine from our side. Regarding the room price, I don’t think it’s too high compared to other hotels or apartments in August going crazy also giving you fair price for the extra day you asked. As for the amenities, the room had everything listed on Booking.com, and if something was missing, you could have let me know. Furthermore, I don’t think the room was that small, but that’s just my impression. I won’t go point by point on everything you mentioned. I completely understand the location—it’s not ideal, but that’s not something I can change reminding you that the road was opened by my father and a neighbor (Hotel Teuta) budget. Finally, as you mentioned yourself, the rating isn’t perfect, and as I said, that shows respect for the staff and the business. Again it is your opinion and choice and is totally respectful but ratings like those do not give the best impressions. Kind regards, Steve.

Verified reviewLoveeeed the view, the view was absolutely stunning i took so many pictures, the price for the stay was really good even though we booked last minute since we made a spontaneous decision to go to sarandë, the apartment and room was clean, the staff was super helpful and friendly upon arrival we got ice cold water which was amazing after a long car drive to get there, we also had lots of bags and got offered help by the owner/staff, they always made sure that everything was alright they would ask us if everything was good and if anything missed they would provide us with it immediately, if i could give a 100/10 to this place i definitely would! We are definitely coming back when we go back to sarandë i could only recommend this place for tourists, 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach and you find everything else near, restaurants, markets, bars everything you want you have it near!

Verified reviewMy stay at Bill's Apt was wonderful! The room was well-maintained, clean, and all the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. I really appreciated their help with giving me bus and travel information in English. I found the room to have everything I needed, including a full kitchen which I used daily and an excellent AC system. Although I found the evenings nice and cool with the sea breeze coming in and really didn't need the AC. The bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were soft. The view to the sea from the balcony was so fantastic!

Verified reviewThe apartment was excellent, clean and spacious. The hosts are wonderful and very helpful especially in choosing the beach, market, restaurants etc. I even had a problem with my car and the host and his father helped me. It is 3 minutes away from first city beaches and 10 minutes from the inner city centre.
The only small downside, but due to my poor physical readiness is that it's uphill and the streets are narrow for a car (lots of parked ones) but the host came down and helped us up and also when we left too. So all in all it was excellent.

Verified review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1000/10 – Absolutely Perfect Stay! Staying at Bill’s apartment in Sarandë was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. Bill is the most gracious and friendly host you could ask for — always ready to help, give local tips, and ensure every detail is perfect. The apartment itself was spotless — I mean truly immaculate. You can tell great care is taken with the cleaning, as everything was shining, fresh, and ready for us to enjoy. The decor is stylish yet cozy, and every amenity you might need is thoughtfully provided. The location is fantastic, close to the sea and within easy reach of everything Sarandë has to offer, yet still peaceful enough to relax and unwind. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, Bill, for making our stay unforgettable — we can’t wait to come back!

Verified reviewI was really impressed with our host, who was always available via WhatsApp. She suggested experiences, beaches, restaurants... The apartment was very clean, had everything we needed. The apartment also has a garage, which is very convenient. Recommend this to anyone who wants to have a calm and relaxed stay in Serande.

Verified reviewHost was very helpful, welcoming and serviceable. Without asking she offered to wash our clothes for no charge. We kindly took upon their offer. Afterwards they brought our clothes back into our room when we were away. Big parking garage underneath the building. Wasn't parked in for once which was nice.
Steep hill leading up to the hotel. No actual ocean view. We were on the back left side of the building.

Verified reviewThe location is quite good, the distance with the main promenade of Saranda was great and it was very clean.
There was no washing machine, they should be more natural with their kind behaviour and it should not be forced, the showerhead was broke it was a challenge to have a peaceful shower.

Verified reviewTo be honest, I have already visited several countries and stayed in different hotels and apartments, but I fell in love with this country this apartment and the attitude of the owner. This place has become my favorite and I will probably return here next year. I have never met such kind, willing owners who always give quick advice, help and even recommend places to go in Saranda. The apartment was beautiful with a view of the sea and it was cleaned every day, which was great, and is in a great location. If you who are reading this review are thinking about booking this apartment, don't wait and book now! Thank you for everything.
