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 reviewAmazing from start to finish. We called the hotel to change dates and it was no trouble at all. Everyone was so welcoming. The rooms were immaculate and location was out of this world. Waking up in the morning to the sound of waves was priceless.

Dear Johanna Thank you for your feedback. Please note that you arrived during the weekend, when the beach is usually full from early morning. Your check-in was in the afternoon, so unfortunately most sunbeds were already taken by then. We are a new business and are working every day to improve our service, and your comments help us to get better. We truly appreciate your understanding. Regards…

Verified reviewFirst and foremost, the location of this hotel is wonderful. It is at the end of Pogradec, so away from the crowds in the summer on the beachfront, and this hotel is right on it's own stretch of beach. Absolutely stunning. If location is important to you, this place wins hands down. And within a couple of minutes stroll you are on the Pogradec promenade so there is no need to use your car to walk to the restaurants or the stalls. Our kids (teenagers) loved the lake and we spent 2 days (3 nights) very happy here. They have beds on the pebble beach that can be booked (2 beds & an umbrella for 700 lek / 7 euro) and the lake is calm, clear, and truly stunning. The hotel itself is a functional block. We had the 'suite' which was perfect for us, a double bed in a separate room, and two singles in the other room for our teens, a bathroom and 2 little balconies overlooking the lake. Gorgeous. Make sure you ask for a room overlooking the lake as the other side overlooks a road that can be noisy. The gentleman who runs the place, and his brother who runs the snack bar and breakfast restaurant downstairs, are absolutely delightful. Helpful, kind and keen to improve things. The hotel is relatively new so there are some things that can be improved e.g. speed of service, breakfast, etc but this comes down to finding the right staff rather than anything intentional. I have no doubt that this place will become very sought after to stay in so if you're in the area I'd recommend you go! We had a lovely stay.
Breakfast was a bit haphazard as they are still finding their feet. There's no menu as such but you do get a hot drink, a juice, eggs, yoghurt & muesli, a toasted sandwich and bread and jams. So there is plenty of it. Once they have a good team (to support the excellent management) I am sure it will all flow better.

Verified reviewLOVED the view, the quiet, cleaninness and the location. The hotel is located in the entrance of the city, offering both quietness and acess to all main attractions within a 10 min walk to the center. We also enjoyed a lovely breakfast prepared for us on the house from the lady/owner of the hotel.
The hotel is on the process of being fully functional, service wise. During our stay, the owner and her daughter were taking care of everything, reception, food, cleaniness. They didnt have serving staff. We received some remarks we didnt like, such as on tea spots noticed in our sheets, remarks for drinking coffee in the room [which is something all hotels should/do allow]. It sometimes felt like we were staying in a dorm. Nevertheless, i think this was due to the cultural context and the hard work the two women alone were handling. Some cultural understanding is required if you wish to stay here [which is overall worth the magnificient view].

Verified reviewThe beach at the hotel was very nice. The room was large.
We had to pay for the sun chairs at the beach. Breakfast was rather simply. The bath room could be a bit larger.

Verified reviewMarco was a fantastic host, helping us parking, finding restaurants, getting a slot at the beach, etc. The lake area is very clean and enjoyable!
The hotel is really new, and needs quite some improvements. This is a traditional hotel style and you can still see electric cables everywhere, wifi is not working well, bathroom is very tiny, etc. Also, some features such as the private beach are not included (strongly advice to send a message to the property to pre-book a slot for you as it might be already full).

Verified reviewEverything was new and clean, rooms very spacious. The beach was right in front of the hotel, with a bar available (5 EUR cost for an umbrella with seats; music may be loud at times). The hotel is still finishing up some aspects, but all is good otherwise. Beds were ok, I prefer them a bit softer but slept fairly well overall. Quick hot water and good water pressure in the shower. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful for everything that we needed, they truly made our stay there a pleasant one.
There are some small improvements to considered for breakfast - e.g adding some pastries or cereals (as an alternate option), Shower position was a bit unusual and water splayed down in the bathroom, but it dried quickly so it was not much of an issue. Having some hand soap in the bathroom, rather than just the shower gel, would be nice.

Verified reviewThe receptionist, who was also the one cooking the breakfast and serving (basically a one-man-show), was an amazing and very kind person. He would always ask, provide, and find solutions. He even came to thank us in person for staying there before we left. 🙏
As a new establishment, they didn't accept card payments yet. The breakfast was only one option, basically. Omelet eggs , and a few pieces of cucumber and tomato. Some packaged honey and juice. For coffee, you had to wait until 8.30 in the morning for the bar next door to open.
