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.).

HungaryThe only thing that leaves something to be desired is the equipments and condition of the rooms. It should be improved, and the staff informed us, that they are already working on it.
What is outstanding is the staff: kind, helpful, patient. You can't ask for anything they won't do. Nicest people, I have ever met. Congratulations to them!!! The location is perfect: amazing neighbourhood, beautiful hotel facade, fantastic view. Balcony and room overlooking the sea, you could fall asleep to the sound of the sea in the evening. Calm annd quiet. The beach is not so crowded than other beaches along the see. Sunbeds are included in the price! The breakfast was lavish and really tasty. I loved the pancakes, and the special marmalades and jams! These are local specialities. WE had fruits and yoggurt every morning, and large portions!

GermanyVery tiny and poorly cleaned bathroom, towels were totally run-down and within 3 days, nobody ever came for cleaning or changing the towels.
Great location directly at the beach, our room 302 had a huge balcony overlooking the complete Durres bay and the attached restaurant served some fantastic food for reasonable prices. Extensive breakfast served from friendly staff.

TurkeySince there was no curtain in the bathroom, the water was a little out. The air conditioner was working a little loud. When we sat on the balcony, there were a lot of flies and they were biting.
The hotel was very clean.Our room was very quiet and comfortable.The breakfast was less variety but sufficient and delicious. Staff was clean and caring. Bed and pillows were too soft. We stayed for 5 nights. Although we were at the hotel at 08:00 on the first day, they welcomed us warmly and gave us free breakfast.

CambodiaThe breakfast was included in our booking, but the preparation was bit late, so we did find something else to eat. However, the staff at the hotel was so nice that they offered us lunch instead. It turned out to be better since we didnt have to pay for lunch. Overall, everything is nice; and it worths the price we paid.
The hospitality of the hotel was great. I contacted the hotel before my stay, and they were responsive and very helpful. Though it was a bit quiet since it was not the high tourist season, the accommodation was clean and tidy. There is the restaurant within the hotel, the price is affordable and the food is good.

A Home Away From Home: My Unforgettable Stay at Villa Oxinn My 10-day stay at Villa Oxinn was nothing short of magical, transforming a simple vacation into a truly cosy, lovable, and unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and genuine hospitality that made me feel not just like a guest, but like a cherished member of an extended family. The service at Villa Oxinn is truly exceptional. Every single staff member, from the cooks crafting delicious meals to the attentive waiters and the ever-helpful umbrella guy on the beach, went above and beyond. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and happiness was evident in every interaction. The rooms were super clean, a testament to the meticulous care taken throughout the entire hotel. It was a joy to return each day to such a pristine and inviting space. And the food! Oh, the food was simply delicious. Each meal was a culinary delight, prepared with fresh ingredients and a lot of heart. What truly sets Villa Oxinn apart, however, is the remarkable owner. They embody the spirit of hospitality, consistently going the extra mile just to make us feel at home. Their personal touch and genuine desire to ensure our happiness created an incredibly welcoming environment that is rare to find.

North MacedoniaThe staff didn't know English, we couldn't understand each other for anything. The servers were unprofessional youngsters, not enough employees as well. The reception was always empty, we were looking for people and waiting each time we needed someone. The Internet was terrible, nonexistent most of the time, and it was advertised as available. The fridge in our room didn't work, nor the TV. The menu for the paid breakfast was poor; it didn't include options, and it was small. The croissants were stale.
That we had a parking space, the proximity to the sea.

Sweden- Extremely loud rooms - No wifi!! This is important, not slow wifi - NO WIFI. - Bad breakfast options.
Nothing to like about it. Even though the rooms was bad they could have compensated with good staff, but no. They even told us that they know the staff was bad but it was nothing they could do.

United KingdomNothing really serious for me. Maybe the bathroom improved.
Very considerate and kind staff. They went out of their way to help us navigate other personal issues we had (sourcing local currency). Everyone is literally positioned to serve you. The view from the room is breathtaking. We had an issue with our initial room and it was changed immediately with so much courtesy. We had a good experience.
