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.).

PolandSometimes music at the swimming pool was too loud, but I guess it's a matter of taste. Some rooms are a bit dated and they suffer from bad smell from plumbing. I would also play more relaxed music with less bass ;)
Beautiful setting, great swimming pool, nice staff, good food and relaxed atmosphere. Animals and nature!

Czech RepublicExceptional location, peaceful and quiet, with rabbits and tortoises moving around freely, and a small farm nearby. The staff were really nice and always helpful. We had breakfast included, which was served and similar every day. It consisted of home eggs (usually fried), home-made goat cheese, vegetables and something sweet (crepes or Albanian sweets). You can ask for more eggs or cheese if you are a big eater. It was a very simple but extremely tasty and sufficient breakfast. Coffee and water was included. Sometimes we stayed for dinner, wine and beer, again tasty and for nice prices. The rooms were nice and clean, the air conditioning worked OK. I truly recommend Kondra e Godenve!

Germany- The balcony was rather dirty with bird droppings (but the room quaklity overall was ok) - An elevator would be nice - local craft beer on draught ;-)
- The food is really great, dinner as well as breakfast. Almost all of the food is from the organic farm, where the hotel is located. - Great local wine (from down the road) too - Staff friendly & helpful - The pool is also very large and great

NetherlandsWe had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful rural landscape, and it was truly a serene getaway. From our room and the expansive pool area, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the distant sea and the rolling hills of the Albanian countryside, dotted with olive trees. The setting is simply magical. The hotel grounds are charming, with lovely pavilions where guests can enjoy meals in the open air. The pool is impressively large and deep, offering a great spot to relax and take in the surroundings. While the rooms are basic, as mentioned in other reviews, they are more than adequate for a comfortable stay. With such a stunning environment, spending time indoors almost feels like a waste. The real highlight, however, is the food. Breakfast was good, but the dinner was exceptional—easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The hotel is run by an incredibly welcoming family, whose hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warmth and care added to the overall experience, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, disconnect from the hustle and bustle, and simply enjoy the peace and each other’s company, this hotel is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

United KingdomThis is a place with lots of potential as one can see lots of scope for upscaling the actual building.
This is a lovely oasis, not far away from the coast. The staff and all the animals (dogs, bunnies, horses, birds) made our stay really special. The pool is amazing and very relaxing. We need a bit of a break from the beach and cities and this was perfect. Our three-year old stated at the end of our stay: "I never want to leave here." That about sums it up. It's run by an Italian-Albanian young couple who went way out of their way to make our stay very unique and as relaxing as possible.

FinlandMaybe the location is a bit tricky but if you have a car, its not a problem. We would have liked if the breakfast had more savory food like eggs for example as we dont like sweets in the morning.
Kind and lovely staff. Lovely place in a calm area. Clean and room size was great. It has an amazing view from the balcony.

Czech RepublicSurrounded by pure nature, this place is a hidden gem near the natural park and (10 minutes by car) a sandy beach. Our kids loved the animales inside the hotel garden - turtles, rabbits and doves. We also enjoyed the big pool. The staff is very helpful, eg. they washed our clothes for us and prepared a tasty breakfast.

NetherlandsLove, love, looooove!!! 12/10 would recommend. Located just one hour from the airport, Kodra e Godenve is the ideal first stop on an Albanian (road) trip. The owners, a young but very warm and hard-working couple, have a passion for hospitality and made the resort their lives work. You feel the love in everything, from the obvious to subtle design choices to the delicious homemade, all biological meals (don't worry, they also serve meat and fish :-). The resort suddenly arises amidst beautiful nature, 2mins from nearby (mini) lake and nice hills to roam and just 35mins from Parku Kombetar (be sure to take the lagune boat trip!). As the hotel is a perfect mix of majesty, grandure and cosyness, surrounded by a beautiful garden we never would gave guessed that the owners actually build it theirselves! I wanted to add pictures, but the function keeps crashing. I guess you have to go see for yourselves :-)

Excellent price. Congratulations to all the staff for making use feel totally happy and relaxed at your place.

United KingdomJust the swimming pool.
The property is just about okay, I think the swimming pool is okay.. the stuffs there only understand just a little of English so it was really difficult for communication.. the morning we were supposed to check out they have turn off the central water in all of the building.. I and my friend my didn’t take our bath or brush our teeth.. me and my friend looked everywhere around the whole property to see if we can get any staffs to help there wasn’t anyone to help..we left the hotel without having to shower or brush.. the weather was about 37° the air-conditioner wasn’t working properly the shower bathroom it’s very dirty.. oh before I forget it’s a self service business.. u have to go downstairs to ask for anything u need no tv in our room no internal phone.. breakfast is nothing to write Home about this was the worst experience I had ever had on holidays destinations. Careful and be safe.
