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 KingdomThe amnesties in the room were really poor. No standards of 5 star hotel as described in the booking. The room was really small, compare to a five star hotel standard. The chair in my bedroom was ripped off on both sides, the furnitures were really old, and no coffe/ tea facilities in the room. The chairs in the balcony were rusty, including the cigarette ashtray on the table in the balcony. There were few spider webs in the room in the ceiling in the corners. And lots of mosquitoes, I couldn’t even sleep at night.
The staff were exceptional. They would go out of their way to make sure the guests were satisfied. Really helpful.

We asked to reserve via WhatsApp, and they confirmed our reservation. Minutes later, they cancelled it, as they said there is no such room available (family room), but there were lots of rooms available in booking.com, so we reserved via booking. The price was different, they asked us less money via WhatsApp than in booking.com, and they didn't reimburse us the difference. Children's pool floor is dangerous! They give you a wi-fi code but there is absolutely no wi-fi signal over the facilities (except in the small front-office where you check-in, and you may use it up to 5 minutes during the check-in/out process). One of the receptionists (female) and almost all staff into the pool-bar were always rude!
The rooms are clean and the resort has a good location.

There was problem with heating system which was fixed after many attempts; and the food choices are so poor compared to the hotel overall.
Hotel is very good, except the mess in front pools that still there is the mess created by the government that destroyed partially the pools because of non-permission. The rooms are good, the staff is more polite than before.

France- Their breakfast arrangments, plastic cups for morning coffee, water and so called juice. They have a continuing problem: that is not knowing how to manage the coffee service of breakfasts in a hotel which has more than 300 pax. So, they had installed this year 2 coffee machines as self service which looked quite second hand used old mates. The managment expected that all HOTEL guests line up during thier breakfast time for a plastic coffee cup while the rest was rushing to fill in their plates and find a seat. We were told often that if you do not like to que for your own plastic self made cup of coffee, then go and buy it at the bar (1.5 Euro for a small cup). - Their breakfast hostess --in charge of the list of hotel guests allowed to eat there, was the most un-polite person we encoutered there. She kept treating guests like they were patients of a different type of institution. People like her should not be employed to work in areas where there is a lot of public.
The place and the area is very nice. However, as of 1 September 2022, there are no longer those great swiming pools (at least the one that normal people would swim, as the VIP was for an under-cateogry of people). Those were demolioshed in a spectacualr and sudan way by the state authorities.

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay. The resort has both green and blue pools all together, which is very nice. The aqua park for children is a great facility, although it is with extra charge. Staff are always smiling and helpful. It’s very close to shops and restaurants, which made everything easier. We would definitely consider coming again. Honestly, we didn’t understand why the overall reviews are so low, because our experience was very positive.

Germany(-) Points for improvement: Although the resort looks like it’s aiming for a 5-star feel, some things didn’t quite meet that level. For example, no complimentary water was provided in the room each day. The food (both breakfast and dinner — we dined in 2x dinner, 3x breakfast) leaned more towards quantity than quality. On our first morning, we were served barista-made coffee from the bar, and it tasted great! But on the second and third mornings, we had to use the coffee vending machine instead, and unfortunately, it didn’t taste like real coffee at all — more like cheap vending machine coffee. Also, the Wi-Fi does not reach the pool or beach area, which was disappointing because I wanted to relax there while browsing the internet or streaming music — but I couldn’t. Overall: The resort seems to still be developing and improving, and it has a lot of potential. I believe they could make an immediate positive impact by improving the quality of food, coffee, Wi-Fi coverage, and by providing daily bottled water in the rooms. But considering the price, comfort, and facilities, I had a lovely and relaxing stay!
I’m giving this hotel good stars review based on my personal experience and the great value for the price I paid — €57 per night for a standard villa room with breakfast included. Of course, there are also a few negative points I’d like to mention for a fair and honest review. (+) What I loved: The resort offers access to two pools and a private beach, which is a big plus. The facilities are all there, the resort itself is beautiful (although I did notice that some areas are still under development). The staff are plentiful, always available, and very helpful. Daily cleaning was excellent — I was really satisfied with the cleanliness of the room. In-room amenities like a kettle, soap, and shampoo were provided, and towels were changed daily. The garden areas are well-maintained and lovely. Both pools were clean, and the beach/pool loungers were super comfortable — I could spend hours relaxing there. Also, this resort is very family- and kid-friendly, and the overall atmosphere felt safe and welcoming for everyone.

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. There were many mosquitoes both outside and inside the room. While the staff did clean the room upon our request. The pool was dirty, with visible black debris at the bottom, and the beach beds were old and unclean. Breakfast was also disappointing, with limited cold options available. The most concerning issue was the lack of electricity and water during our stay, which made it impossible to freshen up after a day at the beach. Overall, this was my worst experience in Albania, and I will not be booking this hotel again.
