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.).

New ZealandThe cleaning had a lot to be desired for.
We were in the quad room on the bottom level, which offered easy access for our children. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary utensils, a fridge, and a portable hob, making it convenient for our needs. The owners were incredibly lovely and made our stay even better by accommodating our request for laundry. The onsite bar was a bonus, perfect for enjoying early morning coffee and evening drinks. Additionally, we appreciated that towels were changed halfway through our four-night stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend it!

NorwayThe owners take cash for payment for accomodation which we were not prepared for since we usually pay directly to Booking.com or by credit card. But this was easily solved and honestly not a big deal.
The next time we visit Ksamil we would most definitely stay here again! The property is family owned and driven and we all felt well taken care of. The property is a 2-minute walk to Pradise beach which is right beside Lori beach, our personal favorite beach 'cause of its finer sand, more shallow waters and cheaper sunbeds compared to other beaches. Our kids loved it! There are markets nearby, and a bigger market right in front of the beaches. Everywhere else we needed to go to are at walking distances. The owners are incredibly kind and accomodating. They also have a really cozy bar right at the entrance serving drinks. We ordered our daily morning coffees here. We stayed at the 2nd floor in a comfortable room with a kitchenette, private balcony, 2 single beds and 1 double bed for 7 nights. We needed to wash some clothes mid-stay so the landlady took care of it and would not take money for payment, plus she changed our sheets and towels too.

Beautiful new vila with clean, modern, well appointed rooms. We had a deluxe double room with balcony and it had a kitchenette as well. Hosts were friendly and helpful. They have a lovely garden with olive and citrus trees. There is on-site parking. Five minute walk to public beach and beach clubs.

AustraliaIt was cold and there was only 1 thin blanket. Although not critical as we didn't plan on spending any time in the room, the balcony was right up against their house, so not private and certainly no view. But as we were only overnighting to visit Butrint, this didn't bother us. Although nothing to do with the accommodation, Ksamil is hideous! They have totally spoilt what must have once been a collection of beautiful, natural, pebbly bays with raked sand imported from a quarry which makes the water cloudy, noisy and intrusive beach bars and wall to wall beach beds. Such a shame.
The room was new, very clean and comfortable. It had some basic cooking facilities which was useful. The bed was great - very comfortable. Modern bathroom.

GermanyThe apartment was clean, spacious, comfy and well equiped. It's very good located. A little bit outside of the busy centrum but just a little walk to the beach, restaurants, Cafés and supermarket (5 minutes walk). The host is super friendly and you will have free parking if needed. We definitely come back to Vila Ari when we visit Ksamil again. Thank you for the great time.

North MacedoniaNothing that I would think of. Everything was great.
I guess everything. Everything is new, clean and practical. The hosts are nice and welcoming. The beach is very close at 2min walking with fair prices and a place to set yourself without paying for sunbeds (since a lot of people are looking for that). The center is also very close, so I would say it's on a perfect location. Away from the crowd and noise, yet very close to everything in walking distance, so you won't bother yourself driving or looking for a parking.

New ZealandBeds quite hard but seems quite typical in Albania.
Good location, back from the main bustle of the beach clubs, but close enough to walk to anywhere in Ksamil fairly quickly. Good room - as expected, just like the photos. Hosts were lovely and very quick to help. Plenty of parking next to the house (within a gated area) which was nice and a little surprising for Ksamil.

Canada- Kitchen facilities in the room were a bit lacking, but the food options within walking distance were so great that we didn't want to use much anyways.
- Location is hard to beat. Just a few minutes walk to some of the best beaches ( Paradise, Lori, etc) - The room was clean, spacious, modern and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for more. - The host was very sweet and accommodating. She would move our hanging close rack out of the rain, or back into the sunshine without us asking. - We loved eating breakfast at our little outdoor dining table
