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 reviewBest breakfast we had during our 3 weeks road trip, different every day with choices for all the family from kids to adults. The hotel is about 6 mins walk away from the beach and close to plenty of restaurants, which is well situated to enjoy a calm environnement. Place cleaned and safe with a swimming pool really appreciated by our kids. We felt like at home thanks to Valmar's manager Erisa and to Irshah. Always smiling and giving tips + advice to make it easy during our stay. A huge thank you to both of you and to your team, we will definitely choose your hotel if we go back to Ksamil. Highly recommended
Nothing, our best stay this summer with real good memories

Verified reviewNice new hotel with really nice rooms and big comfortable beds. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the manager even took the time to run us and our luggage a couple of kms down to our bus stop at the end of our stay. The neighbourhood is quiet - which is good as the main area by the beaches is full of life and noise.
Nothing to grumble about but it's worth knowing that the pool goes into shadow in the late afternoon (but in direct sunlight during the day). The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the beach down a hill - so up a hill when you return. Not a problem for us maybe for people with limited mobility.

Verified reviewThis is a great hotel! The rooms are modern and impeccably cleaned everyday; the breakfast buffet is fresh and they’re constantly topping it up, and the staff are super friendly and helpful! The list of local recommendations they shared was invaluable. Would 100% stay again!
It’s a 15 minute walk from town - but otherwise, zero complaints!

Verified reviewOur recent stay at Valmar was nothing short of wonderful, and what truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional attentiveness and care of our host, Erisa. From the moment we arrived, Erisa made us feel incredibly welcome. Her warm smile and friendly demeanor immediately set the tone for our stay. She was always available, whether it was to offer helpful tips about the local area, assist with reservations, or simply check in to ensure we had everything we needed. What impressed us most was her attention to detail and genuine commitment to making our stay as comfortable as possible. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask—offering suggestions for nearby attractions, arranging transport, and even remembering small preferences we had mentioned in passing. It felt less like staying at a hotel and more like being cared for by a friend. The accommodation itself was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, but it was Erisa’s hospitality that made Valmar feel like a true home away from home. Her thoughtful gestures and personalized service made all the difference. We’re so grateful for her kindness and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend Valmar to anyone looking for a stay where you’re treated not just as a guest, but as someone truly valued.
