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.).

Owners are very nice and helpful, I even got a handmade present from Poli, it was so heartwarming. Thank you both so much, we really enjoyed our stay! Strongly recommended!

LithuaniaIn our apartment the bathroom was not in very good condition :/ if you take a shower - the water was leaking everywhere. Definitely need a construction.
Very nice and private poil zone. As there were nor many families at one time, it always felt like we have our private swimmimg pool :) also we really liked the "family driven" business rules and breakfest that was made by the host in the outside kitchen :)

United KingdomWe really enjoy our holiday in vila Emen .For the first time, we visited Albania . We stayed for 3 days and everything was more than excellent. The hosts are so nice and helpful people and very good communication. Really good breakfast. Vila Emen is 5 min walk from the centre and 10 min walk from the beach. All beaches are pretty good . The swimming pool is so clean and nice, we really enjoyed 😉. The location is very good and quiet. I really recommend this place for a holiday and if I go again to Albania I will stay there again. This place is very good for holidays with kids as well.

Czech RepublicIt's a beautiful quiet place, 10-15 minutes walk from the center and the beaches. You'll find several supermarkets and cafes a few minutes away. The room was amazing, clean, new, and comfortable. You get the service of a really good hotel with a cosiness and the atmosphere of a family home.

RomaniaA lot of dogs without owner near by, in the whole area, but of course I knew this has nothing to do with the property.
I liked the fact that it was a walking distance from main street, the view was great, the room was very clean. Also the room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed every 3 days or so. The car was safely parked close to the house. The area is very quiet and we could have a goodnight sleep. But most of all we liked the hoste, they were very nice and helpful with everything, made our stay there very pleasant.

RussiaThe shower is not completely separated from the rest of the bathroom so we had to mop the bathroom floor after showering to dry the water.
The apartment is cute and has everything you could need. The host was very friendly and accommodating, they changed towels and sheets very often and swept the floor every day! Once they noticed we were using the kitchen they also brought a clean kitchen cloth and sponge, which no apartment owner ever does. Also, there is parking space, which is very convenient in that area of the city.

AustraliaWe spent 10 nights at Vila Emen and we loved every minute! There is a supermarket, restaurants and beach all within 100m. The main part of town is a 10 min walk. They cleaned our room everyday and provided new linen and towels every third day which was really nice to come home to after a long day exploring! we really enjoyed walking past their grandmother every morning knitting and giving a wave to each other. The price is unbeatable for Ksamil!

United KingdomI had a great stay at the Vila Emen. It was very clean and had a very excellent service. The staff there were friendly and helpful. My room was so cozy and had everything i needed. The location is another plus if you will choose Vila Emen. Very nice location and close to the sea. I also would like to say that the location was in a very safe and friendly neighbourhood. Very cool restaurant nearby. I was able to walk and see so many great places. Absolutely suggest it! I definitely will be back there!

RomaniaThere was simply nothing to dislike. My wife and I are really exigent, but this was simply one of the few from the lots of places we have been where everything was just perfect.
Very kind, generous and extremely helpful owners. I've traveled in a lot of countries worldwide with business but I've never met such level of hospitality. For instance, we bought some fresh fish from fishermen and I only asked the owner whether he might have a particular, special fish knife so I can make some fish fillets easily ; he immediately put a glass with a great, cold, white wine on my hand while HE prepared, spiced and grilled all our fish and squid for us on his BBQ...(with fresh, flavored lemons aside, just picked from his lemon tree); My wife only asked where she could buy some Mediterranean plants / garden flowers (jasmine, lemon tree, bougainvillea, night jasmine and others), he went with us 40 kms to make sure we would find exactly what we needed for each kind of plant, with the best quality; he even arranged carefully all those plants in our car to make sure they would be transported in the best possible conditions... and so on... They were continuously concerned to identify whatever you might wish so they could immediately get involved and make sure that you really had a great stay at their place. Also very clean, new, silent, nice rooms, fully equipped, good wifi, very comfortable beds, good air conditioning, surprisingly great shower for such a dry region (very powerful water flow), etc. We will definitely come back.
