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.).

EcuadorI thought it was beach side but then when I saw the topography, it would be difficult to be on the beach. It’s a nice 5-8 minutes walk.
Its a beautiful property, new, modern, very clean, nice and very supportive staff.

United KingdomOnly one small suggestion: the room comes with a kettle and mugs, but no tea or coffee. Some teabags or coffee sachets would be greatly appreciated.
Staff are absolutely wonderful. Every single one of them from the owner and manager, to the receptionists, waitresses and cleaners are dedicated to their jobs and those staying at the hotel. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and well looked after by all. The hotel offers an extensive selection for breakfast, and I also ate at the hotel for dinner a few times: delicious!! Location of the hotel is good, with the town centre at the end of the road, and the nearest beach no more than 7 minutes walk away. Blue Water is separate from the chaos of the centre, but close enough that everything is on your doorstep. Hotel provides towels for sunbeds by the pool, and the pool is lovely and refreshing! Rooms are modern and clean. There is loads of storage space in the room, which I really value in a hotel. The shower has great water pressure and the temperature is easily adjusted. My room was cleaned daily to a spotless standard, and towels refreshed. The room also comes with complimentary slippers, for guests' comfort. AC works well and cools the room quickly. I had a garden view room, and despite being at the front of the hotel, it was quiet and I felt completely safe. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and will definitely be back, in future! Thank you, everyone!

United KingdomGreat hotel in the perfect location—just a short walk to the beach and the main strip, but far enough away that it stays quiet at night. The rooms were spotless and had everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of sun loungers available any time of day. Breakfast was really good with a lot of options both cooked & cold continental and plenty of fruit. We also ate dinner at the hotel which was really good quality. What really made the stay was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful—from the receptionist, to the lovely kitchen staff who were friendly & accomodating to our requests. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, well-run place to stay in Ksamil.

FranceIt was our best hotel so far since the beginning of our trip in Albania. First of all, the hotel staff were incredible, extremely welcoming and very pleasant, especially the woman at reception who took great care of us and was radiant! Secondly, the room was perfect for us (we were 3 guys). We had all the facilities included, and the view from the balcony was great Then, we could use the pool 24h/24 and that was also amazing, it allow us to go swimming late at night Finally, the breakfast and the lunch were so good! The breakfast was complete and healthy! If you go to Ksamil, I recommend you to choose this hotel ! You will be amazed
