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 reviewCompared to every other place I stayed in Albania, I could really see the attention to details in cleaning and in the room. And the view on the coast is amazing! Literally the fastest way to become an instagram influencer

Could be a bit more clean, some stains on the sheets, old furnitures, and the aircondition was not the best.

Verified reviewThe only thing is the view
The pool was dirty, the staff wasn’t friendly besides the receptionist. The facilities are quite old & not very nicely prepared.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel with amazing views. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money.
The drive/walk up to the hotel is an incredibly steep hill but very worth it!

Verified review- amazing view, you'll never get tired of it - pool is ++ - breakfast is basic but good (eggs, sausage, cheese, cereal, yogurt, watermelon and melon) - cozy ambiance - staff is welcoming
- uncomfortable pillows - no black out curtains, sun seeping through - walls are not soundproof at all, too much noise - road is not a negative point but take it into consideration, uphill but doable

Verified reviewHotel is located on a hill overlooking Orikum bay and offers some great views. Check-in was easy and lots of parking available. Approaching the hotel is a little difficult as it's a steep, quite unmade road to reach it. The pool facilities are great with a decent amount of sunbeds, shower, etc. Breakfast is OK, a little repetitive and you were expected to clear your own table if eating outside. Any coffee other than instant is chargeable. If you are looking a simple, beach hotel then this is a great option.
More selection at breakfast. Would have liked to have a kettle in the room. Most of my comments would be about Orikum itself, rather than the hotel - very few restaurants, lots of development happening.

Verified reviewThe only reason I’m giving a 9 is because the location, the view and that pool are amazing!! The rooms were also neat and clean, the bed was comfortable. Nothing to say about that but…
The breakfast was below average, you could see that they put very little effort in it. Me and my partner said the same thing. Even the cucumbers and tomatoes were not fresh. Nothing was freshly cut that day, you could taste it. Everything was laid out. Eggs were just boiled (cause it’s easier and less effort, stays good for a longer time) First they told us coffee was not included in the breakfast, but I needed my coffee so I had maybe 3 or 4 coffees over the course of our 4 day stay. Then at the check-out they tell us they won’t charge us for it…? Then why do you tell people it’s not included? Everyone was friendly though. I just noticed there was minimal effort going into the breakfast. My fiancée even had cornflakes that were not fresh, I mean, that’s saying a lot…

Verified reviewLike two years ago, we felt very comfortable again this time. The owners are very nice and the resort is beautiful. When we are back in Albania, we will come again to the great hotel with the incredibly beautiful view to the sea.
The breakfast could be a litte bit better (Albania has lot of good typical, local food).

The pool was not the cleanest.
