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 reviewLovely swimming pool. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Wide choice of healthy foods for breakfast. Wonderful views of the sea and night sky.
Location makes it difficult to access the city centre in the evening as no buses. Bus stop accessed at end of a dirt track walk and buses usually packed full when they do run. ATMs in Saranda 🇦🇱 totally rip off tourists with really high bank charges. Use a card to pay were possible or change currency to Euros in your own country first.

Verified reviewThere is a large pool area with one larger pool and one for smaller kids. Lots of sun loungers around the pool. You can eat lunch and order drinks- very nice. The location has a stunning view of Saranda and is perfect for sunsets. The hotel has access to a gravel beach and a river which makes the area interesting and exciting. You can bring loungers on your own down to the beach, no umbrellas though. Our room provided a great view as well. Variety in breakfast.
The thing with this hotel is that it has such potential but at the same time they don´t seem to have a plan of what kind of hotel they want to be so most of it gets wasted. The hotel is either in bad shape or rather worn. Strange solutions with safety and the furniture seems out of place(A TV is placed where there is no socket nearby. Lack of electricity sockets in general.) No hand soap in bathroom (expected with the price per night.) At dinner only pizza (not even dessert or an ice cream is available) is served but the pizza is either delivered or just heated up so no real restaurant at night. The menus doesn´t always show the real prices. Some staff are lovely and service minded and some don´t even meet your eyes when you say hello or ask something. I think they could sort many of these things quickly if they pulled themselves together so hopefully this visit was in a bad time in the Hotels history. You should be aware that if you don´t have a car you need to be prepared to walk a bit to reach areas of restaurants and several beach areas since the rivers divide you from the other side of it. There is however a GREAT restaurant at the hotel next door which is accessible by road or beach strairs.

Verified reviewGreat pool, beachfront.
It’s far away from 4 stars - they didn’t have beach/pool towels. The breakfast was boring and the same every day. It was away from the center, but if you are looking for something quite, then it’s for you

Verified reviewGreat location, in the middle of Sarande and Ksmail. Bug clean rooms, comfy bed, staff and the owner all great and very helpful. The beach that belongs to the hotel is just amazing, clean and very picturesque. The hotel had an amazing veranda for breakfast and evening sunset drinks. The pool was big, deep and clean. Breakfast was nice, with a small selection and very fresh and tasty. Would 10000% recommend and go back for sure. Could not fault anything. Thank you all team Dodona.
Nothing, all great.
