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 reviewI would love to share my amazing experience with the Magllar Hotel and its wonderful staff! I’ll start with the manager, Artur truly The King of the place. From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly helpful with everything: smooth check-in and check-out, assisting us with a sudden car issue, and going above and beyond for things that weren’t even part of the hotel’s service. After driving a long way to Saranda and arriving with a flat tire, Artur immediately called a mechanic to help on one of the busiest nights in their restaurant! He even allowed me to leave my car parked safely at the hotel while I took a trip to Corfu, since I couldn’t get my ticket booked on time. That’s the kind of hospitality you can’t put a price on. The location is perfect right next to the beach and the service is top-notch. The staff are warm, friendly, and always ready to help. The food is super delicious, and the breakfast was one of the best we’ve had. My friend and I travel a lot, and this was hands down the best service and experience we’ve had anywhere. Thank you to Artur and the entire Magllar team for making our stay so memorable. We can’t wait to return!

Verified reviewThis is a small hotel situated at the one end of the strip, but a level up from the walkway and beach. The room was soundproofed, so you couldn't hear the sounds below. The room was very comfortable with a small balcony. The public beach was just below the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. It was served in the restaurant on ground level. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I have already recommended it to friends and would stay there again

Verified reviewVery centrally located and the hotel was quite a high end finish
It did feel a little disorganised, maybe better staff training and attention to detail?

Verified reviewRubbish everywhere in back streets. Prices of restaurants way way too high, especially for Albania. Albanians have bad habits with picking their noses and spitting.

Our room was amazing. Lovely linen, towels and comfortable bed. You could watch the world go by and view the beach on the balcony. The breakfast was amazing with home cooked treats and lots of fresh fruit. Thankyou again Eva

Verified reviewThe property is fine, but what does it matter when you spend a horrible night because of their chemicals?
They use allergenic products to clean the room; if you have asthma or are allergic, you will spend the night coughing. I hope the management will consider this issue seriously, Also, there is an ongoing beep in the room, which is quite annoying.
