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.).

Sofia is a great host, very easy to communicate with and saved us a spot for parking outside her building! If there is anything you need she will be quick to help you out! Rooms were very clean and facilities great! She even brought us some delicious vegetables from her own garden! 3min walk from bars/restaurants and just opposite the entrance there are stairs down to a nice beach for your first day before you go exploring! Will definitely be coming back here!

We stayed at Sofia’s for a couple of days and we were really pleased with the facilities and the hospitality of Sofia. The room was very spacious and clean. Close to the beach and restaurants. There were some constructions going on on the street and the owner, Sofia, upgraded us to a better room so we’re far from the noise and the dust. She even recommended nearby restaurants. Definitely going back again

The little balcony is not a real balcony as from what is described from other guests but it did not bother us we still enjoyed sitting there in the afternoon and having a beer or two- the only thing was that because of that no wind was really blowing there so our beach clothes would never dry during the evening and would be smelly in the morning from humidity.
Great location next to the beach- very clean and comfortable room in the heart of Himare. Great value for money - I highly recommend this place

I spent 2 nights here and everything was perfect. The room was a good size, bed most comfortable, good shower and only a few minutes walk from the main street in Himare where all the restaurants are. There were even tea and coffee making facilities which I didn’t find anywhere else in Albania. Communication with Sofia was excellent, she responded to messages very promptly. I decided to extend my stay in Himare, and even though there was unfortunately no availability here, Sofia was really helpful in recommending an alternative accommodation. I would not hesitate to recommend Sofia’s cozy rooms.

Sofia was a lovely host and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp prior to arrival to check parking location (which was available right outside). The hotel location is brilliant, you are so central and can walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. There is a little courtyard outside the room which is nice to have a quite drink in and hang wet towels/swimsuits. Even though the hotel is right next to the busy road, there is no noise in the room so it feels very peaceful. Would happily return if we were ever back in Himare.

Everything. The room is beautiful and very well located. It was our oasis after spending the day on the beach under the almost 40 degrees sun. Even though there is no parking area, Sofia managed to reserve a spot for us to park the car in front of the building. Although the parking space is not guaranteed, there is a huge paid parking place 7 minutes walking from there, so I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Himare.
