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 room was super clean and the staff very friendly, we loved it. Also, we appreciated the fact that it is not located in the center of Sarandë which makes it easier to park !
Unfortunately, the breakfast was not really to our liking

Verified reviewIt is a family run hotel. Staff is super friendly. Their willingness to accommodate our requests and make our stay as pleasant as possible was remarkable. Cleanliness is 10/10. Location is great, easy to reach both Saranda and Ksamili/ Butrinti.
It is not very suitable for families with young children, as it is by a busy road and the breakfast area/ outdoor space does not feel safe if your little ones run around. No highchair available.

Verified reviewVery friendly and helpful staff Parking space was made available 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach downhill but not very steep Good breakfast but surprisingly no facility to get a proper cappuccino - but the bar nearby has good ones Spacious room Fast checkin and check out process Verygood WiFi Rooms are facing the back street so they are very calm at night - you may be able to sleep with windows open
I wish I got the room that was booked with proper sea view I also wish that the airco did not blow right onto the bed It would help to clean the rooms daily - but maybe this is not done in weekends when I stayed Providing drinking water daily would be a nice gesture
Hi mr Turkey,thank you for your review😀. I just wanted to clarify that for room cleaning, the client must determine by pressing Clean Up whether or not I should enter the client's room. This is one of our service policies as a hotel because we want to perform every service depending on the client's requests and respecting the space for your stay in our hotel.

Verified reviewThe hotel is modern and in a strategic position, especially if you plan to move between Saranda and Ksamil. Rooms are cozy and clean, they have all the necessary for long and short stay, and - above all - they have a relaxing atmosphere and a pleasant balcony to enjoy the sunset. There are parking spots for the guests. On top of all this, the hosts are very kind and helpful, they make you feel home and welcome. Every morning we had delicious breakfast prepared with care and served by them with warm smile.It absolutely exceeded our expectations and we recommend it to everyone. We really felt pampered, and we'd love to book this hotel again... Thank you!!!

Verified reviewRoom was comfy. Location is around 20 minutes by bus to Sarande Town. 5 minutes walking from Mango Beach, which has an amazing sunset spot. Around 30 minutes by bus to Ksamil Town. Bus stop less than a minute walking. Few shops and also restaurants/bar around walking distance. Aida and her family/staff were absolutely amazing! Breakfast was simple, but lovely. They make fresh croissant and also Petulla that I was crazy about it haha! I recommend 100%! Thanks a lot for the great hospitality and kindness :)

Verified reviewThe service was fantastic and breakfast delivered to our room everyday was nice, especially the freshly squeezed orange juice and omelette. The rooms and bathrooms were modern and clean and cleaned well during our stay. The hosts were very kind, giving us recommendations and helping us with whatever we needed.
It was a little bit noisy, some rooms are right off reception and the road outside is loud if you have the balcony door open. It wasn’t too loud at nighttime just sometimes during the day.

Verified reviewAida, the owner, is a very kind, hard-working and dynamic person, putting a lot of effort to offer the best impressions to her guests and to create a friendly atmosphere. She gave instructions for all inquiries and helped to face problems, that came up. The hotel is ca. 7 minutes by car to the center, while anyone can go on foot to the nearby beach. All facilities of the hotel are new and modern.

Verified reviewVery nice staff. Great breakfast on a terrace with sea view. Balcony included with the room. The whole room very modern and completely new. Location is great, just a small walk to a beach and lot of restaurants around the area.
We struggled a bit with ants there - they were on the balcony and then also a few of them inside, but they were harmless. Maybe its a general struggle around the area.
