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 reviewFirstly we were greeted by our wonderful host, with such enthusiasm. Our room was lovely and big, with a large balcony and very clean. The breakfast was really good, with hot food, continental cold food, cereal, pastries, pancakes, yoghurt, hot drinks and juices, such a varied selection. The host was always around making sure everything was ok and nothing was too much trouble and the young receptionist was really helpful too. The pool was large enough to cater for everyone, with plenty of sunbeds to go round.

Verified reviewI am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with our recent stay at your hotel. Upon arrival, we were assigned a room with a strong musty odor. Additionally, the balcony door lacked any form of locking mechanism, which raised serious concerns regarding safety and privacy. When we approached the reception, the hotel owner was sent to speak with us. He stated that the hotel has been operating for nine years and that no guest had ever complained about the lack of a lock, implying that this was standard practice. Regarding the unpleasant smell in the room, we were offered only an air freshener as a solution. Furthermore, the advertised sea view did not match reality, which added to our disappointment. The following morning, instead of being greeted courteously at breakfast, we were informed that we must vacate the room immediately — despite having paid in advance via Booking.com for a three-night stay. Before our departure, the hotel manager remarked, “I hope you find a hotel like mine,” which we found inappropriate and unprofessional. Due to the lack of hospitality and poor service, we chose to move to another hotel that provided a far better experience and demonstrated genuine care for its guests.

Verified reviewLoved our staying at Hotel Picasso, which is right in front of a beautiful lovely beach in Vlora. The sunbeds are included and luckily for us they were brand new 😊 The breakfast is delicious. The room is super clean and the bed very comfortable. The owners are really very nice people, friendly and welcoming 😊 Will definitely visit again ♥️

Verified reviewThe rooms are spacious and comfortable. The view from the balcony was amazing! Easy access to the beach and plenty of lounge chairs available.
It definitely didn't feel like a 4-star hotel. The breakfast was meager. Water came out of the shower and flooded the bathroom. Parking was limited and narrow. There are several restaurants nearby, but access for baby strollers is problematic.

Breakfast could be better. The road in front of the hotel can be dangerous for people travelling with kids

Verified reviewA really lovely vibe. The hotel has some lovely art work and it's own art gallery which makes it unique. A quiet location with a fantastic view. Extremely well run by a friendly, helpful family. Very good value for money.
We liked everything.

Verified reviewSpotlessly clean. Having the pool and the beach both within two minutes made the holiday really relaxing. Breakfast was good and all of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The sea views and amazing sunsets topped it all off.

Verified reviewWhat I loved most about this accommodation was how at home and comfortable I felt right away. The receptionist was incredibly helpful and friendly – she gave me lots of great suggestions on things to do in Vlorë, which really made my stay more enjoyable. I originally planned to stay just one night, but because of all the things to see and do in the area, I decided to extend my stay. The location is excellent, giving you easy access in every direction. Having both the pool and the beach right at your doorstep is a huge bonus. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to!
