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 reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at this small hotel. It’s modern, clean, and the staff were very kind and welcoming. They always made sure we had everything we needed and that everything was taken care of, which made us feel very comfortable. The atmosphere was cozy and personal, which we loved.
The only minor downside was that some facilities (like bike rental, barber shop, or fitness) are not provided directly by the hotel but available nearby.

Verified reviewThe hotel was right on the beach with sun beds included in the hotel which was really nice. The breakfast was really great and you could eat as much as you wanted. Which was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful.
The aircon in the room did not work very well so we were so hot. Although they said we must get another card to keep the aircon on it did not make a difference. Small item but it was just very hot.

Verified reviewNice and cozy room, clean. Staff is smiling and eager to support. Right near the beach. We had breakfast included (tasty, diversified). The room is cleaned every 2 days, but more often, on request. The guy from the beach is always paying attention - cleaning the sunbed, move it, if needed. Acvording to the expectations and previous ratings. Very nice experience.
The only small minus: there is no AC on the hallway (first floor) - so there is hot in the afternoon and the smell is not the best - in any case, it's a 10 meters walk, so no impact .

Verified reviewEverything was just perfect. Big room and beds, comfy, clean, quiet, etc. Receptionist Angela and other employees are very, very friendly. They always care if you need anything and how are you. Good and huge breakfast, parking is available and the best thing was that each room has their own private umbrella and sunbeds, therefore you will always have a place at the beach. Very welcoming and warm hotel.
Our balcony was very tiny.

Verified reviewWe had such a nice time at Hotel Saly our family of four were greeted with such warmth and care by Angela and Nexhip who were waiting to help us with the parking and bags and to check us in and they went out of their way to make us feel so welcome. The rooms were spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The small area of private beach with the sun Loungers was super convenient and the restaurant and their staff, including Bella and Era couldn’t have been more lovely. The breakfasts are epic! They even made us a takeaway packed breakfast as we had an early flight - this included omelettes/croissants and fresh fruit and coffee. Highly recommend and huge thanks
Little bit noisy at night but that is to be expected in a busy thriving beach town.

Verified reviewThe property is a little oasis of tranquility on the beach. The food is excellent, the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. From the moment we met Angela at reception to the time of our departure we were looked after with kindness, especially by Era who served our breakfast with a smile every morning. The beach is only metres away and your sun bed and fresh beach towels are laid out every day as part of price of your stay. We tried a good variety of dishes on the substantial menu and were never disappointed. Another perk is 10% off the restaurant price for hotel guests. The breakfast provided is excellent and I dare you to finish all the possible options, we couldn’t. We will definitely come back again.

Verified reviewThis boutique hotel is located in the heart of the newly renovated lively beach promenade. Loved the comfort of staying right on the beach, private free parking and your very own beach bed. The Seaview suite was great, it had coffee and tea making facility, a sea view bath as well as bath robe and slippers. Angela at the reception was very helpful as were the beach and restaurant staff. We felt pampered. Breakfast at the beachfront restaurant was delicious and generous.
The double glazed windows did the job of blocking the noise from the music on the beach. Yet one of us still needed the earplugs and eye mask for a quiet night. You need to climb only one floor.

Verified reviewGreat small hotel in a very good location. Has its own small private beach. Sunbeds are assigned according to room number, so you do not have a risk of being left without sunbeds. Breakfast is served in their restaurant and offers a choice of sweet options, such as croissant, pancakes and/or savory dishes like calzone, omelette, etc. Everything we tried was delicious. Restaurant itself was the best we tried at Durres beach, so we ended up having a lunch and dinner there as well. At the day of checkout we were leaving before breakfast even started and they insisted of giving us the food and coffee to go. Beach was nice and sandy. Water is shallow and you have to walk more than 100 meters for comfortable swim. But it would be great if you are with children. Parking is just one extra large spot, where two cars can fit.
The WiFi in room worked for phone, but would not connect to laptop. The hotel has steep stairs leading to second floor which may be inconvenient if you are with small children.
