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 KingdomIt’s quite far from the main promenade of Sarandë, it’s a 20 euro taxi ride or bus. We walked it was 50 mins which may be too far for some. However we knew when we booked it was further out, and we wanted this so it would be quieter
We stayed on recommendation of a colleague who had stayed. It had all the facilities and utilities you can want. Nespresso machine, toastie maker, microwave. Bathrobes and lovely own branded shampoo, body lotion etc. even a washing machine which came in very handy after staying in Ksamil the 3 days prior. Superb view of the sunset from the balcony. It’s nice and quiet. The most comfortable mattress. Supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Can’t fault the apartment.

We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable or enjoyable stay. The apartment itself was a true home away from home. What really made our trip was the hospitality of the owner. They were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make our vacation perfect, offering invaluable suggestions on where to go for the best food, the most beautiful beaches, and fun cruises. Being so close to Ksamil's stunning beaches was a huge bonus. A truly memorable experience thanks to a wonderful host!

United StatesWow — this ocean view apartment was absolutely amazing! Spotlessly clean with beautiful décor throughout, from the stylish kitchen to the cozy sofa, every detail was thoughtfully chosen. The location couldn’t be better: close enough to the vibrant Sarandë scene, yet peaceful. We loved having a fantastic beach, Mango Beach, just down the street, plenty of great restaurants nearby, and a supermarket right in front. Plus, having a dedicated parking spot made everything hassle-free. The air conditioning worked perfectly, the washing machine was super convenient, and the spacious deck was the perfect spot to enjoy meals while watching stunning sunsets. The apartment itself is roomy and the sofa incredibly comfortable. The owner and his wife were exceptionally kind and helpful. The building’s apartments are named after their son, adding a personal touch that made the stay feel even more special. The apartment was inviting and immaculately clean — truly a home away from home. A major bonus: you can pay by credit card and it has an elevator, which is rare in Albania. I loved, loved, loved my stay here and highly recommend it!

The apartment is well designed and has all necessary amenities. There are bathrobes for guests, a very comfy sofa and an amazing view of the sea. The host was always going an extra mile to help us with any questions. He provided great recommendations for nearby restaurants and beaches and was trying to make our stay more comfortable with even small help or recommendations. That was amazing.

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful sea-view apartment in Albania, and it was a great experience. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome and was genuinely friendly, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their thoughtful recommendations on local spots made our stay even more enjoyable! The apartment itself was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities you'd need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything – from organic cosmetics in the bathroom to a variety of essentials in the kitchen. It truly felt like a home away from home. What impressed me the most was the host’s attention to detail, even going the extra mile to provide us with great advice on local attractions, dining options, and hidden gems around the area. Another bonus is the convenience of free parking, which made our travels so much easier. The price was very reasonable for the value we received – breathtaking views, a cozy home, and an incredibly warm host. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Sarande! Thanks :)

My family and I had a great time staying at Mateo's apartments in Saranda. This apartment had everything you needed - detergents, kitchen equipment, iron, hair dryer… The bed linen and towels were of the best quality. The place was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located, just a short walk from the Mango-beach and restaurants. Everything was exactly as described, and I felt right at home from the first moment. What truly made the stay special was the owner. He is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations for local places to visit. You can really see that he cares about his guests and wants them to have the best experience possible.

We booked 4 apartments for a family holiday in May. Apartments were very new, clean and the top two had great views of the sea. All apartments had very effective air conditioning. The property is slightly out of town sort of 50 minutes walk but on the upside the area is peaceful. There are lots of restaurants in the area and if you have a car, it’s easy to get out of town and on the road. The owner offers free parking which in season is a massive bonus. The highlight is the owner Rinush. He is just so very helpful. His recommendations were fantastic. He went out of his way to make our stay special. Thank you.

It was an amazing apartment, it looked brand new. It had a huge sofa and really comfy bed. The shower had great water pressure and it was a really relaxing place to enjoy the evening after a day in the sun. Rinush really went out of his way to make our stay amazing, we stayed for our 1 year wedding anniversary and he put rose petals and candles in the room and even a bottle of wine too. He then offered to drive us to the port after we checked out. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
