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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomCould have done with a little more storage for clothes, we were a family of three and there wasn’t really enough room for all of our clothes. Also, whilst there was a radiator to hang towels on, perhaps a couple of hooks would have been useful.
Super pool and location overlooking the town, although this did mean a bit of a walk back up the hill to the hotel!

United KingdomThe pools were pretty cold even for the kids who are quite hardy. This meant they didn’t use them as much n as in other hotels we stayed in.
This hotel is really beautiful. The room was lovely with a great balcony overlooking the city. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the view was absolutely stunning. This is a really magical place.

SpainSome parts of the hotel are still in bad condition or under construction, but overall the experience was worth it. We were supposed to have a room with ‘Pool view’ but in reality it was only 2 little windows with Pool view (one of them being the toilet’s window)
Everything. Amazing breakfast, beautiful views and nice rooms. Very friendly staff too.

Netherlandsbe mindful of the location to get there, and follow the signs they put up. Also, restaurant or drinks pricing is quite expensive...
fantastic view, truly amazing. Clean hotel, nice rooms, great people, friendly staff, and an AMAZING breakfast - one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had or seen. Resort is not too big so expect peace and quiet at the pool, very relaxing.

FranceThe views, the friendliness of the staff, the swiming pool, the atmosphere. We came late and there was no problem for check in. It has a luxurious but relaxed vibe, children were very well received. We did get lost on our way there in the narrow streets of Gjirokastër. The hotel provides instructions for easier access (which we did not get because of the problem of connectivity of our phones), so make sure you follow those for stressless access.

United Arab EmiratesThe pool/jacuzzi could have been heated, especially for the cooler evenings. Also, the corridors outside our room didn’t have air-conditioning, which made them feel quite warm at times.
We stayed in the King Suite and absolutely loved it. The view was fantastic—especially at sunset—and the bed was extremely comfortable. The resort really comes alive in the evening with stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent, and we especially enjoyed the Kerculla wine—definitely a highlight. Room air-conditioning worked perfectly, which made the stay very comfortable. Overall, we were very happy with our experience.

LOVED our stay!! The rooms, pool and view are insane. The staff is SO friendly and hard working, the breakfast is wonderfull. You can whatsapp their taxi driver who will bring you to old town for 5 euro, very easy. Could use the swimming like before checking in and after checking out. Menu is very nice and not expensive. 100% recommend!!

DenmarkCan’t think of anything, except the step narrow streets we had to drive to get to the resort. But that’s the price for havind a stunning view.
We had the best 3 days of our Albanian vacation at Resort Kerculla. The staff is extremely helpful, smiling and serviceminded. The pool area and the view makes you want to stay all day. Great breakfast and food in general at the restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone. We walked (15-20 minutrs) to and from the old bazar (town) on steep streets. We could have taken a taxi, but we took it as workout.

SwitzerlandLocation made it impossible to visit old town without a taxi. Food Options were quite limited (day menu was mostly deep fried and evening menu was very expensive) and breakfast was a buffet as opposed to freshly made.
