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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SwitzerlandWe had the most amazing time at Sandy Beach – honestly one of the best holidays we’ve ever had! Every single staff member was so friendly, helpful and professional. You could truly feel how much they care about their guests. The whole resort was super clean – every day, everywhere! Our room was perfect: a large king-size room with a whirlpool – we fell in love with it from the first moment. So cozy and romantic! Housekeeping was absolutely lovely – when our daughter accidentally made her bed linen dirty, someone came immediately to help us out. So kind and fast! The food was fantastic – from breakfast to dinner, every meal was full of variety and so delicious. No, it’s not à la carte – but every chef and kitchen assistant gives their heart and soul, and it shows! We really don’t understand how some people leave negative reviews. Of course, you can’t please everyone – but for us, it was perfect. Truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. And the pool area? Simply amazing! Super clean, relaxing, and every evening there were beautiful activities for the kids – one night movie night, another night dancing, then painting and crafts with the children… just so sweet and full of love. Special shoutout to the pool bar – wow! Every team member there had their own charm. The young woman in the morning was always funny and full of good vibes, making our day start with a laugh – and her cocktails were on point! And the man working in the evening? Despite all the stress and busy moments, he always stayed so friendly, calm and kind – and made the best cocktails. Just wow! Also, the reception team deserves a big thank you – always smiling, helpful, and warm. Whether it was about questions, special requests or just a kind word – they were amazing and made us feel welcome from the first second. We are so grateful for this unforgettable stay – thank you, Sandy Beach team, for every moment. We’ll absolutely be back! 💛🌴🍹

BelgiumThe surrounding area (zero attraction in walking distance except for the beach full of garbage). The playroom could offer a bit more "unbroken" toys. Buffet is only available during the high season which was a bummer. We were fed but the food quality of the course meals are quiet disappointing.
Staff, cleaniness, service mind, sauna. We stayed inside of the hotel during 5 days and had no problem enjoying the quality family time.

United KingdomLiked everything but would be great if there was more of a fruit selection at breakfast, whole bananas and sliced apples and melons.
Our stay at the hotel was very welcoming. Travelled with a friend but could easily travel solo here too. All staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel is right on the beach. You can take a short bus journey (approx 30 minutes) to Durrës for 100 LEK (€1) if you want to venture out to the nearest town and explore some history and a different vibe. The bus stop is past the roundabout so ask reception for directions. Dinner was amazing with a wide range of foods to select from. Our room was cozy and comfortable and facilities were amazing....indoor pool is a bonus on the cooler days! If you like sunsets, then this is the spot to watch also.

United KingdomThe location is far from main areas like tirana and durres and you have to get a taxi to go anywhere which can be quite pricey. Unless you're comfortable and hire a car it's quite inconvenient Since it was off peak a lot of restaurants around the area were closed The outdoor pools were too cold
The resort itself was wonderful, perfect place for families. We have a 2 and 5 year old and they loved the soft play - uki (sorry if I misspelt her name) in there was so loving and always made it fun, playing music, dancing with the kids and letting them use beach toys to take to the beach, she is a real credit to this place! At reception Sylvia always had a smile on her face and made sure we were comfortable and all our needs met, no ask was too much for her. The food was all halal (except the pork dishes of which there would only be a few) and really good quality. The beach was well maintained and house keeping was excellent. The outdoor pools were cold but the indoor one was lovely and warm Would definitely visit again!
