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.).

United KingdomThe road up to the hotel is steep and narrow.
Wonderful family run hotel with a small pool. Everything you need for a perfect stay. Great views. So clean and well appointed. Can walk to town for food although the return walk is a little challenging. The hosts are delightful. Couldn't fault the hotel. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious.

Staying at this hotel was an unforgettable experience! The room was spotless, the view was absolutely breathtaking, and the breakfast was delicious. But what truly made our stay special were the amazing owners – some of the kindest, most genuine people you will ever meet. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and their warmth made all the difference. If you are visiting Vlora, staying here is an absolute must!

SpainThe access is very narrow with a way with one car space. If you meet a car in the opposite direction, maybe you need to have a good practice to manage.

United KingdomThe only small issue we noticed was that the fridge in the room was a bit noisy at night - light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case. Also, a few more toiletries would have been appreciated, as we were only provided with two small bottles of shower gel for the entire stay. That said, these are just minor suggestions and didn’t affect our experience - we still happily give a top rating 🙂
We stayed in this beautiful villa that's run by super friendly and helpful family for 4 nights while exploring Vlore and it's beaches. We picked this villa for its great reviews, a pool and stunning views despite knowing it's a 25 minutes steep walk (we had no car) and it was worth it. The walk was very good exercise after dinner 😅 We would definitely return and recommend to other tourists.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaOur stay at Vila Elarad in Vlorë was exceptional! The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, with a beautiful sea view. The villa is in a perfect location – far enough from the beach to avoid the crowds and city noise, yet close enough to easily enjoy the sea and all the amenities. The breakfast was excellent, homemade. It’s the perfect way to start the day, sitting on the terrace with a beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere. What truly stands out is the dedication and hard work of the family running this business. You can see the care and effort they put into making this place successful, and they make every guest feel welcome. A big plus is the private parking, which is a huge benefit in a popular destination like Vlorë. I would highly recommend Vila Elarad to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant vacation.

GermanyThe owners were very nice and attentive and the location of the apartment is good (you have a very nice view over Vlorë). To reach supermarkets, restaurants, the city center and most important sights are it is beneficial to have a rental car. The communication was very easy (via WhatsApp). We really enjoyed our stay and we can definitely recommend Vila Elarad.

PolandTOP service and quality! Great hotel, intimate, clean, delicious breakfasts. 10/10!! Mr. Elvis - the owner of Vila Elarad, helped us a lot when our little 2-year-old daughter was sick, he took us from the city to the hospital, immediately after I called him asking for help, he waited with us in the hospital and helped us during the doctor's visit. We are extremely grateful for this help.

FranceThe only improvement we could wish for is to add a shower curtain, and a blackout curtain on the room window. Make sure to bring a sleeping mask if you are used to sleep in the dark.
We had a lovely stay in Vila Elarad, the host was very careful with us and very accessible via WhatsApp. The location is awesome however a little difficult to reach because of the tiny road. We can absolutely feel the family business and we felt like home. We got served a great breakfast in front of the swimming pool with homemade and local products. The room was brand new, with an AC and a nice view on the Vlora bay.
