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.).

We stayed at Rozafa Palace during our group trip through Albania, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after exploring the area. Very good breakfast and the coffee was really good! The location is peaceful yet close enough to enjoy everything Sarandë has to offer. What really stood out was the excellent customer service. I had an issue with my credit card, and the team responded immediately and very professionally. I received a clear and reassuring email right away, which I really appreciated. That level of communication and care is rare and worth mentioning. A big thank you to Maria and the friendly girl at the reception (sorry I didn’t catch your name) both were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. It’s always a pleasure to be greeted with such warmth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place with comfort, professionalism, and genuine hospitality in Sarandë. Thank you, Rozafa Palace! 🙏

United StatesWe had a wonderful time at Rozafa Palace hotel. The staff is very polite, welcoming, and always available to assist with any issues. They were very personable and accommodating. When we ran into issues with our airline and arrived late at the hotel past our check-in date, Rafael (the owner) was very understanding and accommodated us to ensure we stayed the amount of nights we paid for. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast is fresh and includes lots of healthy options. Overall our stay here was a very pleasant one. I would definitely come back again.

IsraelWe booked Rozafa Palace Hotel through Booking.com based on the great reviews we saw — but the reality exceeded all our expectations. The hotel is located in the heart of Sarandë’s vibrant tourist area, perfectly positioned within walking or short driving distance to all the main attractions in and around the city, right in the heart of the Albanian Riviera. Upon arrival, we were welcomed into a beautiful boutique hotel featuring modern, elegant architecture and thoughtfully designed interiors. The rooms are spacious, well-organized, and ergonomically built for a truly comfortable stay. The bathroom and shower are both stylish and fully equipped — ideal for an extended vacation. Each room also comes with a lovely private balcony — perfect for relaxing in the evening. Breakfast was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and diverse — with vegetables, a variety of cheeses, baked goods, and different styles of omelets, all prepared with great attention to detail. Initially, we booked for 5 nights but ended up extending our stay for 4 more nights — the hotel staff handled the extension seamlessly and efficiently. If we had to highlight one exceptional aspect of this hotel, it would be the owner, Mr. Rafael, and his incredible team. This is, without exaggeration, the kindest, most helpful, and warm-hearted hotel staff we’ve encountered in decades of traveling around the world. When a personal issue came up and we needed assistance, Mr. Rafael went out of his way to help us — with no hesitation and no expectation of anything in return. In summary: don’t waste time searching for other options in the area. Just book Rozafa Palace Hotel and enjoy a truly exceptional vacation surrounded by warm, genuine people who care. Highly, highly recommended!

PortugalAn excellent stay in a fantastic hotel. Although is not in city centre (30 min walking), you can find near the hotel a lot of restaurants, markets, bakeries and beaches, and less confusion. The room was always extremely well cleaned, the beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioner was capable of acclimatizing the room to the temperature we wanted very fast. The breakfast was excellent as well, with good variety of eggs, cheeses and juices. Finally the staff was very friendly, helpful and was attentive to our needs

EstoniaSadly we didn’t have full sea view. Hotel is located in front of constructing building that is blocking sea view on 70%. Maybe higher floors have better views, we stayed on the 1 floor. We compared some prices in other hotels similar to this one and the hotel is a bit overpriced.
Modern nice hotel, has underground parking, staff was very nice and friendly, always ready to help. The best breakfast we had so far in Albania. Room is spacious and bed comfortable. Smart tv is a big bonus.

Germany- Just need to mention that it is quite far from the center. For us, however, we enjoyed that it is not that crowded there and more silenced - View could be better, but a lot of buildings are emerging around the hotel stealing more and more views as Saranda gets more famous for tourists
- Outstanding furniture, the rooms are very well designed and worthy. The used materials seem to be quite expensive and not only on the first view (like in other hotels). We were very impressed about the details. - The staff ist extremely friendly and always take care. Even though we were there before main season and one of a few guests they always gave their best to make our stay unforgettable! The whole staff has an outstanding view for a guest's need - The private parking lot below the hotel was perfect if you had a rental car. Very comfortable. - One day we had to leave earlier due to a diving trip. We asked for a lunch package for that day. They offered us to have the breakfast earlier instead. That was awesome handled.

IsraelUnfortunately, many aspects of our stay were disappointing: no proper blankets (only sheets provided), rooms not serviced during our two-night stay, only one key per room with an extra charge if lost, unstable hot water in the bathroom, breakfast items not replenished after 9:30, ants in one of the rooms, and staff speaking very little English which made communication difficult.
The hotel is new, clean, and nicely designed. Rooms are modern and spacious, and the underground parking with an elevator directly to the rooms is very convenient, especially for families.
