How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel is perfect, and having a parking space was a huge plus, as it made me feel safe leaving the car and gave me peace of mind. Mr. Sofokli is an excellent person, it honestly feels like he is available 24/7 at the reception, always ready to help. Tony, who manages the bookings, is also a wonderful person and makes an excellent coffee with his machine during breakfast. The breakfast was average but satisfying. There were two fruit options (melon and watermelon), delicious cakes, pancakes, fried and boiled eggs, sausage, toast, teas and juice. It was more than enough for me. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and truly appreciated the warm hospitality.
The bathroom doesn’t have a proper shower box, so it tends to get wet after showering, but it wasn’t really an issue for us.

Verified reviewHotel Aulona was great, we loved it. The staff was lovely and helpful. The rooms were pretty much the same as advertised. The only thing is you dont know which balcony you were gonna get (we got one with not exactly the best view). The location is literally 5 minutes at most from the main promenade. The breakfast was also an amazing feature, though I would prefer a bit more "salty" options.

Verified reviewTruly above and beyond customer service from the moment we arrived with my sister having sprained her foot while traveling. We got offered a new room on a lower floor that was also bigger. They offered to help a lot, and you could tell they were such genuinely good people. The hotel was very clean, close enough to the center (except when on crutches, but we got a great taxi driver recommendation from the hotel), but otherwise you could walk to the center, different beaches or to the bus. The breakfast was also good with different options, like eggs, pancakes, pastries and fruit. If I ever come back to Saranda, I will definitely come back here. Thank you so much for your great hospitality!
Thank you so much 😊 you are welcome 🙏

Verified reviewExcellent location right in the heart of Sarande. Very clean providing the essentials for a short stay. Excellent value for money and the personnel were very friendly. Definitely try the restaurant called Isumi right next to the hotel, it’s a family-run restaurant with fantastic dishes and great prices.
The fact that you had to walk many stairs to reach the hotel since it’s in the main road right above the coastline, but it was not a serious problem
Thank you ☺️

Verified reviewSo clean the bed sheets and towels and everything 🤍 the owner is amazing and his family. His kind & lovely wife and son who never hesitate to help. Location is perfect for night life (walking in the city center, restaurants, bars)
Nothing honestly except thar there r many stairs from the city centre so if you hv a baby with a baby strollers or disabled person in the family and you don’t drive might be an issue unless if you are ok to use taxi.
Thank you 🙏

Verified reviewBed was pretty comfortable
There was a couch in my room that I think had something living in it. From the outside everything looked clean, but when I was sleeping last all I could hear was random ticking and buzzing sounds. I tried to smack the couches and they stopped momentarily and then started again in a different place INSIDE the couch. Was driving me nuts. Also, I thought it was very odd that the staff would often come into my room whilst I wasn’t there. This was noticeable with the blankets folded and I whilst I appreciate the gesture, I had all my valuables in that room including my passport. So I didn’t like they kept coming in without my permission, as the stay wasn’t over yet. Overall quite strange, definitely not worth the steep price.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to see such a low rating, especially considering the efforts we made to ensure you had a pleasant stay. Please note that our staff checks the rooms daily for cleaning purposes as part of our standard procedure, and during your stay, we even offered you a complimentary room upgrade to a better category than the one you originally booked. Additionally, although allowing strangers into the room is against our policy, we made an exception in your case to accommodate your situation. We also personally invited you to join us for breakfast, but unfortunately, none of these gestures were reflected in your review. Of course, we respect your opinion, but we kindly ask you to consider whether your rating truly reflects your experience with us. Either way, we wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your future travels. Kind regards, Toni
