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.).

HungaryAt check-out day, after leaving the hotel room, there is no room for the luggages, if somebody leaves the hotel at the afternoon.
We had a seaside room with balcony, it is really silent, because the road is at the other side of the hotel. The seaview is beautiful. The personel is really helpful and friendly, the breakfast is tasty. The room is tidy, the cleaning personel is tactful. The sunbed and parasol rental is free for the hotel guests at the beach. The wifi is fast. Overall our stay was very pleasant.

The property located very close to the beach, restaurants, markets. Also, the property restaurant is very good with various kind of food. For us was a place we want to return to.

SwitzerlandThe only real downside was the lack of reserved parking, which could lead to delays—though in our case, it was probably just bad luck, as we ended up waiting about thirty minutes to leave because other cars were blocking us. Also, check-in was supposed to be at 2 p.m., but we had to wait a bit longer since the room wasn’t ready, and even though there was a restaurant in the hotel, coffees weren’t offered despite the late check-in. But those are details compared to tje good sides.
The location was excellent, with a private beach and sun loungers reserved for each room, which was great. The restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast offered plenty of choice and was very good. In the evening, there was a lively atmosphere, as the main street with all the activity was just near the hotel. There was also a private parking area for cars, which was very convenient.

SerbiaNo laundry facility, can be a bit tricky for longer stays with the family. But hotel does provide fresh beach towels for a nominal fee.
Good hotel, recently built, feels fresh, clean and new. Great central tourist location. Right on the private beach. Staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Parking is available in front of the hotel entrance, at the times it can be busy but there's always a spot available. Breakfast buffet is phenomenal, fresh fruit, delicious eggs, great coffee and cakes!

SerbiaThe only downside isn’t the hotel’s fault but still affected our stay: the neighboring hotel, Elba, blasts live music every night from 9pm to midnight, mostly a mix of pop and turbo folk. Sitting on the balcony in the evening became kind of unbearable, and we ended up avoiding the hotel restaurant altogether. The receptionist said they keep reporting it, but nothing changes. It’s a shame, because this really is a great place otherwise.
Excellent, newly renovated little hotel in Golem, just a few steps from a lovely beach. Our room was spacious and comfy, and the balcony was huge with a sea view that made it even better. Breakfast was good, with lots of dessert options (always a plus). The staff at reception were super friendly and helpful. The beach itself is really nice, and we loved having our own sunbeds and umbrella included.

This is one of the smaller hotels on a very long promenade. It has its own beach area with loungers and an umbrella at no extra charge. Breakfast was great with a lot of variety. The room was very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and will assist you with whatever you need. They have a lovely outside area where you can relax. I would recommend this hotel

IrelandI recently had the pleasure of staying at Adriatic 2 hotel, and I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive—truly second to none. The hygiene and cleanliness of the entire property were flawless. The rooms were spotless, modern, and tastefully decorated. Waking up to the sound of waves and stepping out onto a balcony with a sea view was the definition of peace. One of the highlights was the on-site restaurant, which offered a variety of fresh, delicious meals. The hotel is right on the beach, with its own private section, which meant no crowds and plenty of space to unwind. The loungers were comfortable. Overall, this was a truly rejuvenating experience. If you’re looking for a serene getaway with impeccable service, pristine facilities, and direct beach access, I highly recommend this hotel. I’ll definitely be coming back.

North MacedoniaThe rooms were great, clean, and comfortable. The location of the hotel is right at the beach, the sunbeds and umbrellas were provided for free. The breakfast was amazing, great variety and tasty. We missed a freezer in the fridge, but the staff did a favour for us and froze the cooling pads the night before we checked out, so it was no really an issue. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we really appreciate it.. We would love to come back soon 😀

MontenegroExcellent hotel! I've stayed in a deluxe room, very comfortable and modern, cleaned every day. The hotel staff was very friendly. You have your spot on the beach during the stay and a parking lot as well. The hotel restaurant offers and freshly made food. I would definitely recommend this hotel to people who want to spend a relaxed holiday in Durres.

United KingdomWe couldn't figure out how to close the shutter or turn the balcony light off so the room was quite bright at night (not a big deal)
Nice welcoming ladies on check in, beautiful room - expected the older wooden chalet style but turns out we booked the newer style which was so comfortable, bright, clean. Lots of small but thoughtful touches like a full length mirror and enough hooks in the bathroom for toiletries, fluffy white towels and slippers. No issue with parking. View of the sea from our 5th floor - lovely sunset! good location on the promenade - great value for money.

United KingdomPersonally I missed having a kettle in the room. I like to chill quietly on the balcony with a nice cup of tea to enjoy the view.
For a 3 star hotel I was a bit anxious as to what to expect especially due to previous experiences of 3 star hotels in other countries but I was pleasantly surprised by everything. We booked the triple room with sea view which was indeed lovely 😎. The owner was always exceptionally attentive, always made sure we were ok and took the time to talk with us, restaurant staff were always friendly, A big thank you to Mikael who always made everything perfect for us and provided some good conversation and valued insight. All staff members from reception to house keeping staff were great. Beach facilities were good and the hotels beach area was clean and well kept. Honestly had the most relaxing time. Would come and stay again.

SpainFor improvement perhaps more fresh fruit at breakfast and keep the yoghurt cold.
Stayed here for 2 nights in June. Really good place to enjoy some days of rest at the beach as they have their own beds close to a clean sea, if there is strong wind, you can find some grass in the water. Room is spacious, good shower, airco and bed. Breakfast has enough variety. From fresh fish to pizza to meatballs and veggies and great service from Mikel and Ardit. And if you have some issue in the hotel, Edison is your guy, always happy to help.
