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 location and vibe of the property is fantastic
Our specific tent is in need of replacement, there were many holes and when it rained we got puddles inside.

Verified reviewIt was a wonderful stay. This place is family run and everyone was so friendly and helpful. My children and I enjoyed our stay so much. The tents are spacious and we had a fan so it kept us cool when we needed it. Highlight of the day is to watch the sunrise. Supermarkets are nearby, the bus to Butrint and sarandë is close. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

Verified reviewNice host, lake and a bar in the camping itself. Price is decent, and the location is quite nice.
There's an outside AC UNIT just behind our tent which made horrible noise through the night, making it almost impossible to sleep properly. Also the communal kitchen is horrible, dirty dishes and glasses were left behind by people.

Verified reviewI had a great stay at this camping! The staff were super friendly. I stayed in the single tent and found it really comfortable — it was great to have a mattress, light, power outlets, and plenty of space inside the tent. They really did a great job with it! There are lots of areas where you can sit, relax, or have a drink from the bar. They also have kayaks you can use to explore the lake. The beaches in Ksamil are very busy and lively, so it’s amazing to be able to come back to the hostel/camping, relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Such a beautiful place!
As a small suggestion (not a complaint at all), it would be great if they provided dish soap to wash the dishes properly and maybe a few cloths or towels to clean the kitchen and surfaces after use. Everything else was fantastic!

Verified reviewI liked a lot how did the place looked like. I looked very friendly, little bit hippie or vintage, old things everywhere - in a good way - old lamps, furniture.. There was an open kitchen which was also very cool. Toilets and showers were working. The location was also good. Near by there is bus station to Saranda and Butrint, shops, restaurants, bars, beach - simply everything you need.
I didn't like the mess on the toilets. It was camp full of people and I didn't noticed it was cleand at least once during the three days we were there. So the smell wasn't very good. Also I would say on place like this I would expect people would be more together. But the vibe just wasn't like that. Even the hosts weren't very friendly. The bar which was there also didn't work very well.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay. The owners of the camp are very kind and friendly, welcoming us warmly and creating a pleasant atmosphere right away. The camp is located just five minutes from the bustling center, yet it offers a peaceful and relaxing environment. We had a wonderful time, and if we visit Ksamil again, we will definitely return here.
