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.).

BelgiumWe stayed at Palace Hotel & Spa for nine days and absolutely loved it. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, and the housekeeping staff were always friendly and attentive. Breakfast was a real highlight – not only was it extensive and delicious, but the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Our 4-year-old daughter looked forward to it every single morning! The beach area was just as enjoyable. The umbrellas are included, well spaced out, and never overcrowded. The beach staff were very social and helpful, which made relaxing by the sea even more pleasant. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening, and the experience was just as positive – tasty food with excellent service. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. A perfect mix of comfort, hospitality, and relaxation. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to both couples and families!

United KingdomGreat suite (512) on 5th floor of annex building but the lift only went to the fourth floor followed by over twelve diy stairs which in the uk would be illegal plus no hand rail Also the lift and some of the staircase were scruffy and in particular the areas close to the apartments which had obvious non hotel doors thus suggesting they were Air B&B The hotel had also decided just prior to our visit to move breakfast from the ground floor restaurant close to the pool in front of the main building to the fifth floor of the same building, this breakfast venue was served by one lift with a maximum of four persons This meant that we and the other top floor suites (507 -512) had to make the journey I have previously described ie descend by five floors then try to call the lift before ascending five floors for breakfast followed by doing the reverse in order to get back to our room consequently we only ate breakfast on three occasions

Also, when trying to make reservation directly (call or mail) noone responds. Impossible to comunicate with the property, make request and say what you want exactly.

United KingdomFor being a 5 stars hotel, there were a few sloppy aspects. I used the communal facilities on a few occasions while at the beach. There was toilet roll and hand tissue missing, one of the sinks was not working and the toilet was dirty. The hotel is in general really lovely but it is in a area that is not as nice as the hotel. Also in our room, there was 1 capsule for the coffee machine, and we never got a second one. We only got 2 rather small bath towels - which again considering is a seaside hotel and it’s 5 stars is a bit strange - and suddenly on our last day we also got some bathrobes…
The room was lovely. The bed was the highlight. It was a very big bed with an amazing mattress. The breakfast buffet was also very good. There was an incredible variety of salty and sweet options and also fresh fruit. The hotel staff was really nice, especially the staff of the beach bar.

NorwayThe front desk acted more like police officers than service people. Their lack of english did not make it any easier.
What an enchanting gem in Durrës. The hotel might not be a five star for an west european standard, but it was great. The ladies in the front desk had zero clue due to service, but the rest of the staff did a great job!

United KingdomSome of the hallways could benefit from refurbishment, but this is only a small part of the hotel and didn’t affect our stay. The lift feels a little dated, but it works perfectly well — and that’s all that matters.
Check-in was seamless, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The rooms were impeccably cleaned every day. The outdoor restaurant offers excellent food and cocktails — I’ll definitely be back!

AlbaniaOur room did not have a general cleaning on the second day of our stay, only towels were changed.
The hotel is not only very beautiful on the outside, but even more beautiful on the inside. The cleanliness, food and staff are some of the most unique experiences you can experience. There were sun loungers included in the price on the beach, the sea was very clean and the environment on the beach was very quiet. The staff inside the hotel but also at the beach bar were very polite and omnipresent.
