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 reviewAbsolutely beautiful place. Easily walkable from the port (even easier if you don’t have a giant suitcase like us!) and lovely restaurant right nearby if you don’t want to walk to the waterfront. The view from the balcony is even nicer in person. Joana is the kindest, most helpful host.
Absolutely nothing. Everything was phenomenal. If you have mobility issues, the short hill immediately up to the property could be an issue for you so check street view, but given the terrain I believe a lot of properties in this area would be the same.

Verified reviewFreshly renovated, clean and beautiful house. What really makes the difference though is the fantastic host - Ioana was super kind, hospitable and helpful. We loved the entire experience and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Sarande! 😁

The sea view was not really there.

Verified reviewVery good value for money. The apartment is newly renovated and I thought it was a really nice apartment to stay in. The apartment, including kitchen and bathroom, was very clean. I had a large balcony with a view of the sea. The location is good, a few minutes walk down to the seaside promenade where you can find a small beach and lots of restaurants, cafés and bars. There was a supermarket a few minutes walk from the apartment. The main bus station was about 15 minutes walk from the apartment and the ferry terminal 25 minutes walk from the apartment. There was also a bus stop nearby so you can easily go and explore the ruins of Butrint or the beaches in Ksimale. As a solo female traveller I felt safe walking back to the apartment after dark. The hosts were welcoming, warm and friendly, and I felt like they really cared about me having a good stay at their apartment. Ioanna (I hope I spell her name correctly!), speaks English, Greek, Albanian and some German. I can definitely recommend this apartment. I wish I had stayed longer, and I would definitely come back!
It was all good!

Verified reviewAlmost everything was perfect. Price/performance was great, a very nice, clean apartment with everything you might need, the interior is freshly renocated, the bathroom is nice, the host was friendly and helpful.
The walk to the apartment is steep, yes its 5min walk from the main street and the city is build on a steep hill, so cant really complain.

Verified reviewHost is super helpful and attentive. Area is good, just few minutes by walk to the sea. Excellent view from the balcony and very clean apartment.
It is not that we didn’t like but a suggestion to host to leave some olive oil or just regular oil, salt etc for cooking. A bottle of water would also be nice. For travelers it is very convenient especially if checking late. Considering nearby shop accepts only cards above 1000 LEK payments. But still overall solid 9.
