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 reviewMe and my group of friends loved our stay at the family run Seaside hotel. From location, cleanliness and comfort, it was amazing. What you see is what you get. What made our stay even more special is the care and attention shown by the lovely Nila who manages the hotel. She was extremely helpful with recommendations nearby and went the extra mile for one of our friends who was not feeling well to make him food and ensure his wellbeing. There are great beaches in and around the area as well.
I cannot say anything bad about this family run hotel. The rooms were cleaned regularly and communication was great.
Thank you Kledion,best regards to Kristina!

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was fitted out nicely and had an amazing view of the beach. Close to restaurants and a pebble beach with the most incredible clear water. The hotel also supplied croissants and coffee in the morning which was nice.

Verified reviewStaff is awesome. Especially Nila, the owner who runs the place, is one of a kind. The place is a family business, and their efforts to make your stay enjoyable are visible in every detail. Whenever I plan trips to South of Albania, I will always book here first!
Location is a 30-40 minute walk from Himara's centre, but it actually makes it even better since it's far away from noise. The beach in front is not very appropriate, but just 2 mins on the right you can find plenty of spaces.

Verified reviewHotel located at the quiet end of Himare. The hostess is particularly welcoming and extremely kind, and does everything she can to meet your needs. The rooms are comfortable, not very large, but very well equipped and well-appointed. The location is very quiet. The parking lot inside the courtyard is large enough for one car per room, but it's very easy to park in the cul-de-sac that leads to the hotel. The beach near the hotel has large pebbles; you only have to walk 200 meters to reach much smaller pebbles and find shade in the morning. The sea temperature is a little cool, due to the mountain water that flows into this area, but it's so nice to swim in 22°C water when it's over 34°C outside! The hotel offers coffee and tea in the morning, and it's easy to find nearby restaurants that serve breakfast. We truly recommend this place for its tranquility, cleanliness, warm welcome, and the kindness of its hosts.

Verified reviewBeautifully located at the end of Potami Beach. Felt nice and quiet, away from the main hub.
Our only feedback was that at night the overhead lights were quite bright, a bedside lamp would have been helpful.
Thank you🙂

Verified reviewAbsolutely stunning location just steps from the sea. The rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful they even gave us a spot to store our canoe. The minibar was fully complimentary, with drinks, water, beer, and even coffee. Spacious private parking and a breathtaking sea view!
Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay at Seaside Hotel! The hotel is located in a peaceful area with a beautiful sea view — and it’s important to know that all rooms come with a sea view, which made our mornings truly special. There’s also convenient parking available on-site. In the shared area with tables you can relax with a cup of coffee — such a lovely touch. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet and scenic getaway by the sea!

Verified reviewI loved Nila, her family, and the service. Everyone was very kind, and Nila speaks very good English. They helped me a lot to discover the best the place has to offer and are very generous with everything. The hotel is in a beautiful and quiet part of Himare, and everything there is pleasant, delicious, and peaceful. The room has a beautiful sea view and is located in the most beautiful part of the local beach.
Ana Flora thank you for promoting our country:) Best regards!
