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.).

BelgiumVery nice hotel, on walking distance to the beach. There is private parking space at the hotel. The room was very big, luxorious and clean. The staff, veru helpfull, friendly and English speaking. Unfortunately I had to leave early in the morning, so I could not try the breakfast. Would recommend.

GreeceOur stay at Villa Balani was simply exceptional! I stayed there with my family and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is fantastic – right by the sea and within walking distance to everything you might need: shops, restaurants, cafés, and more. It was incredibly convenient and made our stay even more enjoyable. The buffet was a highlight of our trip – so many delicious options, fresh and full of flavor. Every meal felt like a treat, and there was something for everyone. The service was impeccable. The staff were always friendly, helpful, and professional, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. Cleanliness was top-notch – the rooms and all common areas were spotless, and everything felt fresh and well-maintained. Overall, everything was perfect. We truly had an unforgettable experience and will definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Durrës!

GreeceEverything was perfect
I recently stayed in Villa Balani in Durrës located right next to the beach, and it was a wonderful experience. The location couldn’t be better — just steps away from the sea, with stunning views and easy access to the promenade, restaurants, and cafes. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with fresh linens, a comfortable bed, and a modern, clean bathroom. Housekeeping did a great job every day. The entire property felt very well-kept and hygienic, which made our stay extra comfortable. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or requests. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for a beach holiday. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, beachside stay in Durrës. Great value for money and a fantastic location!

SlovakiaThe blond lady working at breakfast was pretty rude. Me and my husband finished breakfast but our son not and she stood behind us, knocking by her nails on the table and waiting till he finished.
Nice small hotel, not directly on the main street and thanks to that you don't hear the noise of the street. Comfy beds, spacious room and balcony. Clean. Good breakfast. One minutes to the beach, there is supermarket, many restaurants.
