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 gentleman spoke English quite well, was very friendly and helpful. He explained in detail what is where and how to get to places. He gave me a number to his trusted taxi guy, as there are MANY SCAMMERS around. The room had everything, nice shower, cool AC, beautiful view. It was a bit expensive as I could have (should have) gone to Ksamil, where I'd got a room for half the price at that time.
DISTANT: I didn't realize while booking that this is SO FAR from everything! If you have a car - this is no problem. SECURITY: There was only one shortcut route to the beach. Along the path someone had left an aggressive dog guarding their property. This dog would not let anyone pass and even jumped on passing cars. So I didn't get to visit the beach. There were also three horses running free just down the road, less than 100m away from the property. Yes, I stepped on their poop, but I was more worried about the horses as one of them was still little. Maybe it's parents are protective = aggressive. More than this, there really was no room for pedestrians around this area. The main roads had a lane for pedestrians, but it was blocked by overgrown trees and such so I had to jump on the same lane with cars all the time. About this whole place I was thinking how insecure I would have felt, had I been there with my 5-yo daughter! What if you get hurt here? How near is the closest hospital? Next time I'm going to skip Dhërmi all together.

Getting there was somewhat challenging, and it was quite far from the city center.

The only thing missing in the bathroom was hand soap, but that’s just a small detail. I really recommend this place

Verified reviewThe bedroom is quite large, but rather simple in terms of equipments and decoration. The best point is the view, at sunset or even sunrise, it's mesmerising ! The beds were comfortable and the bathroom convenient as well. It's very well located too ! The owner gave us some tips on what to visit and how to go to the beach down the village.
Nothing much, maybe the decoration is a bit sad.

Verified reviewYou get exactly what the pictures are showing you, it’s clean and the people running it are very nice. I especially liked the mosquito net on the window, meant I could sleep with the window open. Watching the sunset from the balcony is very pretty!
It’s quite a distance from the beach. If you don’t have a car it’s a 45-60min hike up and down. I really enjoyed that but if you aren’t as mobile it could be an issue.

Verified reviewThe view from the balcony was stunning. The room was big, and it was about 10 minutes by car from the beach.
The wanter in shower didn't drain properly, and it flooded every time, making even the kitchen and the bedroom wet. There was a wasp nest next to the hotel entrance, and they were attracted by a puddle of mud right next to it. The wasps would fly around us every time we had to open the hotel gate. It’s obviously not the hotel’s fault, but something could be done about it.

Verified reviewIncredible sea view with a lovely balcony (you can practise yoga). The bed is very comfortable. Hot shower. The best deal in the area.
Would be even lovely have a shared kitchen to prepare simple meal. No restaurant nearby is opened in mid Sept.
