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.).

ItalyI really recommend this place. The owner's family were friendly and very helpful, they even provided us with a beach umbrella. The room was spacious with everything we needed and had a big balcony with a dry racket. There is a safe parking just across the road. The place is very close to the Himarë seaside and restaurants.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThe host does not speak English but he is a lovely and very helpful guy. Barely anything to complain about.
Great location, a bit uphill but it was never an annoyance. The parking is just across the road from the apartment. You are 5 minutes away from the beach and the very centre of Himare. The apartment itself has good facilities and equipment, a balcony with a drying rack, an ac unit, an elevator in the building etc. The bathroom is compact but had everything you need. Overall a great experience staying at VIAL and if we ever visit Himare again I hope VIAL is not booked.

AlbaniaI had an amazing stay at VIAL Rooms in Himara! The location is absolutely perfect — just a short walking distance from the beach. The rooms were spotless and very well-maintained, giving a fresh and comfortable feeling throughout the stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Himara and will absolutely stay here again!

United KingdomThe hosts were brilliant - very friendly, having nice conversations with suggestions for local food/buses etc. It was nicr that they also spoke Greek. Clean, lovely view of the mountains, comfortable bed, great water pressure and hot water, wifi was good (could videocall) and it was 7-10 minutes from the centre on a safe road. The fridge had cold water upon arrival, which was a great touch.

PortugalThe shower are inconsistent; during the bath the water sometimes are hot, sometimes as cold. Nothing that make us feel bad, but it's good to let them know.
The room's have a nice space, all with A/C and balcony. We cannot forget the sympathy and kindness of Eda! She's always there for whatever we needed, always with a smile and good vibes. Please, go there and support them. You will not regret!

Nice spacious room with balcony. Super clean. One of the only places we stayed in Albania that had blinds which blocked the morning light. Close enough to the centre to walk without bother and far enough away to be quiet. Plus there was parking. Overall great stay.

Attentive young lady made sure everything was sorted and connected to us via whatsapp. Her Grandad is at hand to let you in and show you the lift. What i loved about this place was the view and peaceful setting. From the balcony you have a backdrop of Mediterranean vegetation and a throng of singing wildlife. The room was modern,clean and nice quality. About 5 minutes walk from Himare seafront. A lift takes you up to the room if it is on the upper floors. I really liked this place.

United StatesThere was a lot of roadwork being done making driving and walking more challenging, but I think this will be temporary, as they are improving the surrounding area.

United KingdomThe bedroom floor was a bit dirty at first, but this was resolved quickly when I asked if it could be cleaned. Other than that, there was nothing to dislike, this was our favourite place to stay out of 3 this time round in Albania (my 4th visit since 2017) - I wish Niko every success with the rooms.
We absolutely loved these newly built rooms in Himare. Our room was large and bright with a very comfortable and supportive king size bed and beautiful modern bathroom with walk in shower (high pressure hot water). The air conditioning was crisp and quiet. The balcony (with good double glazing and external shutters) was a delight and had a great view to the sea in the distance, but my favourite part was the hills to the side which had goats and sheep roaming around under the trees. There was a rack to dry beach towels etc on the balcony. The room's furnishings were modern and clean and the room felt homely. The gentleman Niko who owns and runs the rooms is friendly and helpful; despite speaking limited English, he communicated perfectly. He was on hand most of the day and evening and always greeted us with a smile we passed him. He helped us with the bus to go back to Saranda at the end of our 3 night stay. We absolutely loved Himare and the Vial Rooms really added to this! Thanks and best wishes from Jon and Kavita.
