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 KingdomBear in mind that there is a walk up the hill to the property - OK if you have a vehicle - but a little challenge after dinner and drinks. The view in the morning made this worth it though!
Very special view! Quiet room away from the main action of the town. Clean, safe and cool during the heat wave. The beach was a short walk down the hill, the property is at the far southern end of Himare where the public beach area is, and unusual for the coast this was less populated than other public beaches in Budva, etc. Plenty of private sunloungers a bit further up at a fairly reasonable cost of 10-15 euros per day. Friendly host with some good recommendations for eating out. Good restaurants and fun bar atmosphere too in the town.

AustraliaEverything about the property is fabulous
The position is perfect for me a little way from the busyness. The view is incredible, Elsa is extremely helpful and friendly, all staff are. There is a hill to walk which I loved, if you are driving this is not a consideration.

GermanyOne thing to note is that the beds are rather on the harder side. Still super comfortable though, if you do not prefer soft mattresses.
Elsa and her family are running this Boutique Hotel Like champions! Their hospitality service is fantastic, with genuine joy for what they do. The modern interior, super functioning AC, and breathtaking view are few things to highlight. Elsa also helped out with our laundry, which was very appreciated. The town can be reached with a 10min stroll downhill (or by Car), which has the comfort of proximity but still calmness away from the buzz.

AustraliaI agree that some bedside lamps would be ideal as the lighting was very bright in the evenings, and the heat pump takes a while to cool down the room
Location was great, parking available at property. Yes there’s a steep hill but very accessible to drive up and down and also with good footwear absolutely fine to walk. The family were wonderful and so accommodating for anything needed. It was lovely they provided fresh sheets and towels every day and cleaned the room. We had a wonderful 3 day stay with wonderful views of the town and ocean.

FranceWe stayed at the Mesun Hotel for two days and had a truly wonderful experience. Elsa was by far the kindest and most helpful person we met during our time in Albania. She generously offered us a room upgrade, which we appreciated even more once we saw the stunning view from our new room. Elsa also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and even helped us with our laundry — something we were very grateful for. Her hospitality made a big difference in our stay, and we can’t thank her enough. We highly recommend this hotel! On top of that, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the suite had a lovely, fresh scent throughout.

LithuaniaIf the view from the terrace is not your priority and you don't have a car, I would choose another hotel, because the road from the city to the hotel is long and quite steep. There were also no shower amenities
We stayed at this hotel for one night and were pleasantly surprised by the very helpful staff. The road past the hotel leads to Filikuri beach so it's a great place to stay if you plan to go there. A wonderful panorama of the city and the sea opens from the balcony
