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 reviewA really good hotel if you want to see the Sarande sunset! The hotel manager seems to have improved his manners, the boys at the reception are willing to help and really kind
I have to confirm ALL the negative stuff from the reviews of last 2 years, the elevator is still NOT working, the showers have NO curtains and water can go all over the bathroom, the breakfast is NOT at a buffet as shown in the pictures, you get served what the owner wants. You can get a better value for your money if you look somewhere else.

I would confidently recommend this hotel to anyone seeking quality, comfort, and outstanding hospitality.

Verified reviewThe view from the terrace was very beautiful!
The lift was not working and we needed to climb 6 floors to eat the breakfast.Also, the expresso was not working. We would have loved to take that coffee on your terrace. No hairdryer as mentioned in the description and the furniture was quite different than the ones showed in the photos...

Verified reviewNice room with a sea view. Good breakfast included served on the patio looking back to Saranda. Lovely staff. Close to village with restaurants and a few shops. Mango Beach close. A pleasant location. Local bus went through the village. Easy to get into Saranda and to Butrint National Park.
Steps down into the village but we had no trouble with those. Good exercise climbing up again!! Hard to find a place to get into the water as Mango Beach front was busy with hotel guests. No lift for reaching upper rooms.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing! Always helpful. Upgraded us to a room with a view and allowed us to stay an extra night at the same price. Had beautiful sunsets. Close to Mango beach and shops and restaurants but a lot of steps down to get there. Excellent wifi. Good breakfast included.
The lift was not working. No tea and coffee in the room but available at reception.

Verified reviewThe staff of the hotel was polite and helped us when we needed something. The bed was comfortable.
It was so hard to unlock the door of the room because the door locks were not well maintained. The shower does not have curtains so every time you are showering you end up washing the whole bathroom. The parking was also a bit tricky because there is not a lot od space for the cars but there are many rooms in the building.

Verified reviewThis is a lovely hotel, thanks to Irsa, her husband and staff. My room was large and spotlessly clean, with a comfy bed, good bathroom, very useful fridge and spacious, sunny balcony. Breakfast was good and was served on a rooftop terrace, which was a nice way to start the day. The hotel is a modern tower block - not really my thing - but somehow it has a really nice, relaxed, welcoming vibe about it. It's hard to explain, but it just felt good. The location was quiet and quite convenient for me as it was close to the road to Butrint, and a visit to Butrint was my main reason for being in Saranda. There was a bus stop not far away, and the bus (which operates hourly each way) is useful whether you're going to Butrint or in the other direction to Saranda. It's also an easy walk to/from Saranda, though it might seem a long way if you were carrying heavy luggage - I travel light so the distance wasn't a problem for me. All in all, this is a good hotel where I would happily stay again.
