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.).

AustraliaThe beds are hard . The breakfast choices are great but you have to pay for coffee
The location and beach area of the hotel I think are the best in himare . The staff in the bar /restaurant are fabulous . The beach front rooms with verandas are the best choice .

Ukraine- cold breakfast. Since there are no special dishes that keep food hot, I think it is better to reconsider breakfast from buffet to la carte type. Also, vegetables lied around without covers and not protected from insects :(
- location and view from the room - cleanliness - beach ( but pay attention that you need shoes to enter the water) and free sunbeds - good restaurant downstairs - a lot of restaurants around

CanadaThe booking website didn’t say that the restaurant would be closed later in the season.  There were two groups there that had meals arranged, and the staff were kind enough to let us join their breakfast for a reasonable fee. 
Nice clean quiet, comfortable hotel with helpful staff. Fresh towels every day and a fridge in the room. The building also has an elevator.  Right across the street from the beach.  Short walk from the promenade at Spile beach, where they were lots of restaurants to choose from.  Nice quiet community with a great beach.

SerbiaIf you choose the room with the view on the beach it can be a bit noisy during the night and also during season it’s really hard to find parking place because it’s free street parking.
Hotel is really nice, it’s across the beach. Room have been cleaned everyday. Service was good and they also provide service on the beach. You have couple of options for breakfeast most of them are variety of eggs.

Czech RepublicThe AC was not working at all even though we have reported it but no repair or room replacement was offered. The breakfast is quite poor without tea or coffee and considering the additional price for breakfast, it is better to go with option without breakfast and take breakfast somewhere else. Bed was noisy and had footboard which is bad for taller people.
Beachfront location, well managed, nice bathroom, nice seaview. Good cleaning

AustraliaA strange anomaly since everything else was a high standard, but the pillows are rock hard. We asked for softer pillows but just got another rock hard one! What lets this place down is the staff. Every one from the owners to the waiters are gruff, and grumpy to the point of rudeness. We were greeted and issued keys with the friendliness of a Gestapo Officer. It really felt like they hated their jobs and would rather be elsewhere. Absolutely not the famous Albanian hospitality we expected. They need to learn to chill out, smile and be friendly. It became a running joke for us that every single order we made in the restaurant was different to the menu descriptions. This is quite common in Albania and most likely partly caused by language problems. - Bruchetta was meant to have Basil, but was served with none, despite having large pots of fresh basil in the garden - Lamb ribs were served as a poor cut of lamb chop - Cappuccino was weird to the point of undrinkable
Amazing location across the road from the beach. Himarë is in two parts - the North half is very busy and hectic. This hotel is on the south side of the hill and is much nicer. 10 minutes walk to the busy action if you want it. In general the hotel is very high quality. Bathroom is beautiful, beds comfortable, restaurant is clean. Could do with bedside plugs and lamps, but we heard there will be a renovation next season that should take care of this. Parking is included in the price buy be aware it is street parking and almost impossible on the weekend with the volume of traffic. Police appear to be vigilant everyday issuing fines.
