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.).

AustraliaThe neighbor's dog is very aggressive and the gate is left open, the dog may cause you problems as you leave or arrive at the property. Guests smoke in their rooms which also fills the hallway with smoke and some of it came into my room.

PolandMind, that although the apartament is quite close to the beach, due to some military area you cannot walk along the beach towards Golem, you can only walk along the beach towards Durres city centre.
we had a twin room, clean, cozy, quiet, well-equipped kitchen in the room, nice elderly host, easy check in. For the low price we paid it was very nice.

Polandthere is no separate space for shower - it is just space between toilet and sink, so after shower everything is wet.
Hotel is quite far away from the center, but thank to this place is also very quiet. Beach is like 8 min. by foot from hotel. An old lady take care of hotel - she doesn't speak English, but it was possible to communicate. I have big, clean room with comfortable bed. Small kitchen is located on the balcony. Bathroom is small and clean.

United StatesLocation is great, close walk to Durres Beach. Stayed 3 nights. The place is clean. The room has a balcony and the bed and pillow are comfortable. They were kind enough to let me move downstairs where the heater was working better. Sabrina is sweet and was very motherly and helped me with my questions even when there were some language barrier. Communication with whatsapp with the owner was very quick.

SwedenThe kindest and most generous host imaginable. She cleaned the room regularly and occasionally served me home made Albanian food and coffee as an act of kindness. She was available when I had any questions. The apartment and it's facilities were very clean and everything worked well. It was quiet and felt very safe with a wall surrounding the entire building. The apartment is not in the city center, but it's still a very lively area with lots of bars, grocery stores and cafes. It is just 150 meters from the main road with bus stations. It's just 200 meters from the "promenade" along a beautiful beach.

There are many restaurants in the area and the beaches are within walking distance. Mrs. Sabine is an incredibly nice host who creates an atmosphere of home.

Czech RepublicOur stay in Albania was unfortunately not as expected. Upon entering the apartment, we found peanuts scattered on the floor, which was quite off-putting. The apartment had clearly not been cleaned properly. When we went to cook, we discovered mold inside the kitchen utensils drawer.. Additionally, there was a lot of noise, which we normally would have tolerated, but it was quite disruptive. The water pressure in the shower was also very low, making it uncomfortable. While the people were very nice, the overall experience was a significant disappointment.
The place offers great value for money. It's close to the beach and perfect for some beach fun. The foosball table and the spacious area are also nice.
