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 reviewA beautiful room with a stunning views of the bay. It is above the 'Hurcules Restaurant, so best accessed from the beach front, but the actual door faces the road at the back. We needed to message the host to find how to check in as it isn't entirely clear. Bathroom was well lit, a good shower! Bed was comfortable. Power outlets by the bed.
Would be good to have a small brush or broom as being near the beach sand comes in and there is no house keeping so it builds up if not dealt with daily.

Verified reviewGreat location with a brilliant balcony right on the promenade with sea views. Staff were helpful when checking in & the room was clean and comfy.
There is no car park at the moment, but when I booked a few days prior they said ‘of course there is parking’. We had to find free street parking round busy one-way streets which was hard work- but we did it. In summer this would be impossible. They did offer to cover any parking fees in a nearby car park though which was great. The restaurant wasn’t open at all during the stay which meant we couldn’t get glasses as there were none in our room. No complimentary water. Live music was very loud on the seafront until quite late but it was bank holiday weekend so I’m sure this isn’t all the time.

Verified reviewThe beautiful view of the sea. The sound of the sea at night. The owner of the hotel also owns the restaurant underneath the hotel. The food was simple and delicious. The owner was friendly and helpful. My hotel room was very clean. It is a rwally good price for what you get.

Verified reviewLocation near main street and restaurants. New rooms. View was ok
It was quite difficult to find the hotel and the parking slots, you need to go to a restaurant that have the same name (Hercules) and then they get you to a door behind the building. There were hairs in the bed and bathroom. The breakfast was poor, you have to select one item of some options (it would be worth to book the room only and go somewhere else get the breakfast). When we arrive to the car, it was blocked with some 4x4 motos, it seems that there is not parking slots clearly defined for the hotel.

Verified reviewGreat quiet location with lovely facilities and modern room overlooking the sea without the noise of bars/restaurants. Staff were very helpful and attentive.
Clearer directions needed for how to find the parking and the hotel itself. It was part of the Hercules restaurant so less of an immersive hotel feeel and we were only allowed one item for breakfast, which was surprising given this was nearly our most expensive accommodation during our trip in Albania.

Verified reviewLocation is amazing! The view from the balcony is fantastic and the room is in walking distance all the restaurants and bars. Despite being in a bisy area, the room was completely sound proof and we didn’t hear any noise from the boulevard. Free parking is available which was great as Himare has limited free available spots. The room was massive and the bed was very comfy and the room was exceptionally clean.
The place was a little hard to find as no obvious signage for the room itself however, if you go into the Hercules restaurant located on the boulevard the owner or staff will assist you without a problem.

Verified reviewThe hotel boasts an incredible view of the Himare sea, with the beach just 10 meters away. The crystal blue waters are truly stunning. The owners are very friendly, and communication with them was smooth and easy. There’s a designated parking spot for guests, secured with a key to the entrance lock. The apartment is clean, and the bed is very comfy—I’d love to have one just like it at home. The air conditioning works great, and you can enjoy the balcony with two chairs and a table. There are public beaches nearby, and a short walk will take you to a private beach where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee. There’s a designated parking spot for guests, secured with a key to the entrance lock. In the evenings, the area comes alive with people, music, and vibrant energy. Although it can be a bit noisy, closing the windows ensures a peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast is delicious and served at the restaurant downstairs.
The apartment's entrance is located in an alley, but it turned out to be perfectly fine. The bathroom had a slightly odd smell (not of poo), so we kept the light and ventilation on throughout our stay to help alleviate it. You need some time for hot water to come, but once its there, its boiling hot.
