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 had an amazing experience staying at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the sea, close to supermarkets, shops, and the city center. The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The host was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, always ready to assist with anything we needed. Truly one of the best stays I’ve had—highly recommended for anyone visiting Vlora!

Verified reviewRoom was great value. Bus stop right outside. Beach across the way not the best but plenty of great options within a walk or quick drive.
Dear Alexander, Thank you very much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you found great value in your room and appreciated the convenience of the nearby bus stop—it’s always wonderful when guests can enjoy easy access to everything the area has to offer. We understand that the beach just across the road may not have been the most scenic, but we're pleased you found better options close by. The region truly offers a variety of beautiful seaside spots for every preference, and we’re happy you explored them! We hope to welcome you again for another stay at Villa Beni Osmenaj and perhaps help you discover even more local gems next time. Warm regards, The team at Villa Beni Osmenaj

Verified reviewWe liked the shared kitchen and the hospitality of the staff
The location is more in the underdeveloped side of Vlore, its a 20 minute walk to the boulevard > which is not bad at all. But the more beautiful beaches are not walkable.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the hospitality of our team and the shared kitchen—it's always lovely to hear that guests feel at ease at Villa Beni Osmenaj. We understand your point about the location, and appreciate your honesty. While it’s true that our villa is in a quieter, developing part of Vlore, the main boulevard is actually just 1.1 kilometers away—a pleasant 15–20 minute walk. Additionally, while the most scenic beaches may require a short drive, we’re always happy to assist guests with directions or transport suggestions to help them explore the coast comfortably. Your comments on cleanliness have been noted, and we’ll make sure this is addressed with our team. Thank you again for staying with us—we’d love to welcome you back with an even smoother experience next time! Warm regards, The team at Villa Beni Osmenaj

Dear Sterre, Thank you for your review and for highlighting our location and staff as positive aspects of your stay. Regarding your note about the bedsheets, we were quite surprised, as cleanliness is one of the main pillars of our service and something we’re truly proud of. Our housekeeping team follows strict cleaning protocols and inspects every room carefully before guests arrive — so we believe that what you saw may have been an unfortunate misunderstanding or an isolated case. We take this kind of feedback seriously and have already reviewed the situation internally to ensure everything remains up to our highest standards.

Verified reviewThe villa is just absolutely beautiful, right next to a super nice beach and close to supermarkets. WiFi and air conditioner worked great, the kitchen is super well equipped and there’s a rooftop with amazing views! Plus the host was super warm, made sure we had everything we needed, called us to help us find the location and helped us get a cab to get back to the bus station. Amazing overall and great quality-price!
A bit far from the bus station and city center: it was great for us because we wanted a calm beach and location that wasn’t filled with people and music, the area is super safe and chill. But if you want to be close to the nightlife and most touristy places, go elsewhere!!
Dear Camila, Thank you once again for your glowing review — we’re thrilled that you found our villa beautiful and relaxing, with great amenities and attentive service. It’s wonderful to hear we added value to your journey through Albania! While we’re located in a peaceful and calm area, perfect for beach lovers looking to unwind, we’re also just a 10-minute walk from Saint Tropez, the largest and most famous nightclub in Vlora. So nightlife is never far — guests can enjoy tranquility by day and vibrant energy by night, all without needing a taxi. We hope to welcome you back anytime, whether it’s for calm sunsets or music-filled nights! Warm regards, Villa Beni Osmenaj Team

Verified reviewLocation I needed, good Internet, friendly staff, quiet area with good facilities to eat, near the sea.
Bathroom and kitchen outside, no balcony, remote control dirty, earlier checkout, asked to live earlier before checking in.
Dear Isttefanny, Thank you for your review. We would like to address your concerns: Bathroom and Kitchen Location: As stated in our listing, the kitchen is shared and located outside the rooms. It is a small kitchen intended for preparing breakfast only. The bathroom, while not inside your room, is private and located just across the hall. You have the key, ensuring your privacy. This bathroom is more spacious compared to the en-suite ones. The only room with an external bathroom is our most economical option, which you had booked. Room and Balcony: You booked our most economical room, which does not include a private balcony. The rooms with private balconies are priced higher and this is clearly specified in our listing. However, all guests can enjoy a shared veranda with sea views, complete with sofas and outdoor seating. Checkout Time: The checkout time is clearly mentioned during the booking process on Booking.com as 9 AM. Additionally, you receive an automatic reminder a day before checkout. We never ask our guests to leave earlier than the scheduled time. In fact, we are flexible and, upon request and based on availability, we often allow an extra hour or two for checkout. Cleanliness: We take cleanliness very seriously, conducting thorough cleanings and checks before each check-in. The remote control mentioned was brand new and still in its unopened packaging upon your arrival. It's possible that it may have been dirtied accidentally. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide you with a better experience next time. Best regards, Villa Beni Osmenaj's team.
