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 staff was kind and helpful. Drinking coctails in the pool was cool, the coffee was amazing and the rooms were big and comfortable. It's really close to the beach and there are golf cars in the hotel to bring you to the beach and back to the hotel.
There wasn't any problem with the hotel.

Verified reviewParking on the territory, beautiful pool, electrical shuttle to the beach. Good WiFi. After moving in, the new room was clean, the air conditioner was normal, the toilet and shower cabin were clean and spacious, the mattresses were not bad - you can choose a comfortable position; the beds creak, there was little distance between them, so they often injured their legs. Language - one employee in the entire hotel thinks he knows English. The staff is friendly, but it's almost impossible to get along.
In the room we were initially accommodated in, the toilet seat had yellow stains, the water from the faucet and shower barely flowed, the toilet and shower were neglected, there were no signs of disinfection; the air conditioner is noisy and aimed at the bed. I think these remarks, together with the fact that I insisted on paying by bank card before check-in, caused a conflict with the hotel administrator. By the way, be prepared that you will only be asked to pay in cash everywhere; in general, 1-2 shops accept bank cards in the village. There is no kettle, tea/coffee, or dishes in the rooms. I even specifically asked for a couple of glasses. They told me to ask for boiling water in the kitchen. There is an international bus station across the street, with corresponding noise. Breakfast and dinner - to order. Often what is served is not what you ordered, but what is available - this was the case in a third of cases. For example, we ordered meatballs with cream & pure, the waiter brought beans with beef and assured us with a friendly smile that these are meatballs, but pressed. Also, for breakfast, when ordering sausages without eggs, they received toast with ham, cheese and ... egg. At first the food is tasty, but monotonous and within a week it became a problem. The range of food and drinks is small, and the portions are also small, but it is not allowed to get extra. My experience shows that the hotel is not suitable for a long vacation.

Verified reviewThe staff very nice, polite and helpful. The room was clean, cleaned every day, towels changed also every day. Very good swimming pool, 7-8 minutes walk time to the beach, but they have also free shuttle to beach.
Awful food at breakfast and dinner. If want to stay at this hotel please do not take any meals, the taste and smell was horrible (the soup especially, we couldn’t eat in 5 days any soup). We were happy that we didn’t get sick cause we read that in past few people get sick. Rooms are noisy, and no amenities at all (except soap and toilet paper nothing else), old mattresses, bathroom draining very bad (every time when we use shower almost cause flood). Location is 500 m from the beach, but for same money you can find better alternatives (accommodation and meals) near the beach. Very crowded and noisy because is located in front of international bus station. Few parking lots (around 10 lots, compared to 50 rooms capacity).
Hello, when you came we welcomed you as we do with everyone but you were the classic stuck couple who I think don't feel comfortable anywhere and don't enjoy anything because they try to complain about all this I think it's something personal that you don't like find good anywhere and nowhere, in the morning you have the possibility to choose one of the 6 different choices that we offer as well as a drink, the soup is always consumed by everyone with pleasure because we use fresh and high quality products, the only ones that you didn't consume it, it was you, but I understand that sometimes it's a question of taste and nowhere is there a comment that someone felt bad about our food because if it had been like that you wouldn't have even come, but from a couple stucco like you I would have expected everything, the beds are new and the bathrooms were made new last year, you had a pool view and you were not facing the street as you commented, obviously there are a lot of people now and it is crowded because it is high season, as far as parking is concerned we have 25 parking spaces in the Hotel and in addition we have an extra parking for 100 cars near the Hotel, it is a shame for us to have been ready for everything and after all the commitment and effort that we do to make everything go better for you to receive such a judgment, but in any case I think that wherever you go you do the same thing.

Verified reviewVery service minded and welcoming staff. Vicinity to the beach tough the "wild" part of the beach approx 2,5 km distance, really nice pool. The location serves also as a good base for the Albanian Alps.(Theth 2 hrs drive) Clean, sizable rooms. Half board enough versatile and fast even during full capacity. In general I would warmly recommend especially if you think about value for money aspect with this family owned Hotel. Even the music can be pretty loud in the evenings it seems like the area close to the hotel queits down latest before 23.
Not many motorsport options if any at the beach front which I personally appreciate but might disappoint some adrenaline junkies.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and ready to help you anytime. They smiled always. The pool was very clean. The hotel is situated at 7 minutes from the beach. Across the street there is supermarket. The food was good: for breakfast we have to choose from a list with 6 options. Also in the morning we had to choose the dinner from 2 different sides every day and for children the have pasta or pizza. The wi-fi work perfect.
The card is not accepted. Only cash but you can pay in euro.
