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 reviewGood size large apartment with separate sleeping room. Although it has very small bathroom. Hotel is located very close to the beach. Beach is just across the street. Hotel has its own part of beach with free of charge loungers and sun umbrella. Beach is sandy and very child friendly. Including long part of shallow sea for the kids to stand and play in the water. There are plenty very nice restorants nearby. We had parking place in hotel's parking.
Apartment has very small bathroom. There was a traffic jam when we arrived and on the way out, it was second half of Aug.

Verified reviewThe location was super. Breakfast was pretty good. Parking was available. The apartment was also pretty good.
We were charged an unexpected 3% fee for paying by card, which I’ve never experienced before. Also, the stove wasn’t working at all, it wasn’t even connected to electricity

Verified reviewHotel has a excellent location, the beach is only a minute's walk away. Hotel has private free parking lot. Our room was spacious and clean, bed is comfortable. Air conditioning works great. The kitchen is well equipped. There is balcony, but you can see only a bit of the sea, because there are buildings around. Breakfast was great, buffet (self-served) - eggs, bread, vegetables, cheese, jams, coffee... The bread was fresh. When something ran out, they brought more. It was nice staying in this hotel.
Our hotel suite is not really as modern/renovated as it looked in the photos. It was quite expensive for the standard of the room and for Albania. At the evening there was noise from the streets, otherwise in hotel was quiet. Bathroom is a little bit small.

Verified reviewLocation is ok. Beach, restaurants and coffee shops are all within 5 min walk.
2nd bed in the living room is so uncomfortable. We let kids sleep in the bedroom where the bed is decent and we slept on an improvised sofa bed. Would have been more correct to rent this apartment for two people instead of four.

Verified reviewGood location even though it's not crucial to stay in the center here. Easily reached with car. Clean and good apartment.
Breakfast was enough but pretty much same every day. Also creates extra waste when bringing something that is not wanted. I would change that.

Verified reviewThe staff was great. You feel like being home. Breakfast is superb. It was clean, bed sheets and towels were of high quality. It is not easy to park in Shengjin, but the hotel offers free of charge parking in place. I like the idea that the price includes sunbeds and umbrella on the beach but they were not ready yet. It is just the start of the season. For sure we will come back for a longer stay.
The entrance to the hotel is on the back side. Maybe during the season, the entrance from the front will also be open.
