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.).

AustraliaThe hotel is quite modern and well appointed. The room was very nice and the aircon was not intrusive. We parked our car a fair bit away and it cost 15€ per day. Apparently, the marina car park is 5€ per day but we didn't know that beforehand.

SingaporeA modern and comfortable boutique hotel in superb location. Easy access to public transport and many authentic restaurants and bars. Our sea view room has beautiful view of the mountains and promenade along the bay. My friend and myself really enjoyed our 3 night stay here and have beautiful memories of Saranda. Thanks much to the staff’s warm hospitality and excellent services. A big thumbs up to Lisea’s attentiveness and effective communication. All in all, highly recommend!

United KingdomThis was our second stay at this great beachfront and family owned hotel. It's brand new and only metres from the water's edge, right in the centre of town and on the promenade, so a perfect location with beautiful direct sea views. Our first stay was last year, just after its opening - so it's still in perfect condition and incredibly stylish. We were SO warmly welcomed back by the owner and his family. Totally delightful and I can't recommend it highly enough. The breakfast now being offered (new this year) is a welcome addition. We will be back (again). Thank You Lion Gate - from London.

RomaniaIf you don't get the seaview room, you'll get an ugly backyard view, horrible. It's the opposite of the front view. There is no parking available at the hotel. Also, you are being told you'll get free water daily, but you have to ask for it. Last thing, the water pressure on the shower is low. Breakfast is included, but it's not the greatest, only a few options, it almost ruins the hotel experience, it's opposite to how the hotel looks and the room ammenities.
The location, right in the middle of the promenade, you can't find better. The staff is great, nice girls, willing to help. The room as always cleaned and the overall cleanliness is great. The hotel itself is the most beautiful from the promenade, it's hard to get better.

Czech RepublicJust don't come by car, we drop off the rental car that day, so it was ok.
Brand new facility, very nice. Comfy bed and linens. It's a beautiful sea view and you can see all the fuzz on the street, once you close windows and pull the curtain, you're in quit. We've got free upgrade which was nice surprise.

United StatesAlbania just doesn't have good infrastructure. Although the property was new, electrical outlets blew continuously, the AC started and stopped, etc. The staff fixed everything as quickly as they could, but my strong sense is that this is what you should expect. We were also there during a festival and the sound was thumping, loud, and late. When it ended, there was peace and quiet.
The staff were particularly helpful and kind. Very cheery! The location is right on the boardwalk, very central. Great views and breeze. Updated rooms, nicely done. Nice balcony space.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Lion Gate Hotel, and it was simply delightful! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The sea view was absolutely breathtaking. Every morning, I enjoyed my coffee on the balcony, soaking in the view and the sound of seagulls. During sunset, the colors painted across the sky became a daily highlight, making it the perfect backdrop for relaxation or a romantic dinner. Overall, my stay at Lion Gate Hotel was nothing short of magical. I can't wait to return and experience the warmth and charm all over again! Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a sprinkle of joy to their travel plans! Ps: Do not leave without tasting the food at NANA'S restaurant, next to the hotel

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Lion Gate Hotel in Saranda, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made us feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth, and the reception team was friendly and eager to assist with any questions we had about our stay and local attractions. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a modern aesthetic that complements the stunning views of the Ionian Sea. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The large balcony offered breathtaking views, perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening while watching the sunset. Location-wise, Lion Gate Hotel is unbeatable! It’s situated just a short walk from Saranda’s vibrant waterfront, where you can find a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops. The nearby beaches are easily accessible and perfect for a relaxing day under the sun. Overall, our stay at Lion Gate Hotel exceeded all expectations. The combination of excellent service, beautiful accommodations, and a fantastic location makes it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Saranda. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a fun family vacation, this hotel is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

United StatesThere were no blankets on the bed. Only a single bed sheet. We called the reception desk about asking for more bedding but no one answered (they were supposed to be 24-hour service), so we slept with towels over us for comfort.
Great location and the hotel was new and modern. Front Desk was friendly and welcoming.
