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 reviewHotel Olive Ksamil is a modern property in an excellent location with an exceptional view of the sea and close to 3 of the best beach clubs in Ksamil. We were greeted with a big genuine smile at the reception upon arrival by Mr. Uzeir . Even though we arrived early at 10 am and our room was not ready yet , which was expected , he kindly checked us in and explained everything and stored our luggage. We then walked to the very close beach clubs Principote and had a faboulos day ( only 200 meters walk from hotel ) . We got back late in the evening and he was waiting for us and gave us our luggage and room keys. They have an elevator . The room was a lovely , clean and modern suite with a nice seating area and with a separate bedroom , full bathroom and a big balcony. We had a restful sleep and the next morning we had a faboulos open buffet breakfast ( great service too) with the most wonderful view of the sea and beaches. We highly recommend Hotel Olive in Ksamil, Albania. Thank you again Mr. Uzeir for your hospitality.

Verified reviewThe hotel had everything you could expect from a small hotel. Our room had a small balcony with a nice view of the sea. The room and the general areas of the hotel were clean. The restaurant at the terrace was a gem. The breakfast was above our expectations and the view from the terrace was amazing. The staff was friendly and nice. The actual reason we preferred the hotel is because the location is a little further from the chaos of the center and we slept peacefully at nights. A bonus is the hotel had a parking lot. Parking is a life and death in Ksamil. Must recommend.
The location is a little bit far from the good beaches and the center where all the shops and restaurants are (about a 20 min walk). There is a private beach just in front of the hotel, it was ok but did not have very good quality.

Verified reviewWe had 2 rooms booked in full season. The location is far from the noise of the center, but 115 steps from Lori beach, in a quiet bay. The view is relaxing and the rooms nice. Cleanliness is at high level!! Beds comfortable and towels soft! I loved the rooftop breakfast restaurant, the perfect place to start a day! About service : the warm and always friendly atmosphere, a nice chat, just as hospitality should be! Thank you for a wonderful staying!!

Verified reviewThe location was perfect for us as we like a more quiet location a short walk to town. The property was across street from Lori Beach with chaise to rent and a delicious restaurant that had beach service! The staff was beyond excellent and the facilities were very clean, cool (great a/c) and well maintained. We were able to park there in covered garage too. They have a lovely covered veranda on first floor with bar/cafe and make the most amazing cafe and the top floor serves a delicious breakfast with the most amazing view of the beach/water. We Will definitely return to Olive Hotel!!

Verified reviewOlive hotel is an ideal place to stay in Ksamil. The staff were so nice especially the manager Uzera and Freddie who served breakfast. The rooms are new and modern with a really comfy bed. Breakfast on the rooftop restaurant was amazing. Its within walking distance to everything and there is also free on site parking. They also provide fresh beach towels each day. We stayed here for 5 nights and actually tried to extend! Would recommend to all. Thank you for a great stay

Verified reviewEverything met with my expectations, the breakfast was excellent, the staff were unbelievable, the rooms and everywhere was cleaned everyday. You will travel a long way to try and find a better small hotel like this one. I don’t normally do this but I have to give this hotel 100% in every area.
