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 reviewOur stay at Villa Josana was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth by the family who runs the place that we instantly felt at home. Joni was very helpful, letting us know we could always reach out with any questions even after our stay. Every day we returned to the villa, we were greeted by a friendly face. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Our bed was made and the room tidied every day, and even our laundry was brought inside when there was a fire nearby to prevent it from picking up smoke. We loved the convenience of being able to enjoy a meal or just grab a cold drink right at the villa. There’s also a supermarket nearby. The location is great – just a short drive to the center, and also close to popular tourist spots like the Blue Eye. Traffic can be a bit busy at times, but it’s absolutely manageable.

Verified reviewWe stayed here for three nights. The rooms were spacious, each with its own bathroom, and offered a beautiful view of the mountains. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Every day we were served a different breakfast—large, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. The location is peaceful, with plenty of space for parking and relaxing.
Without a car, it's quite far from both the city center and the beach. Also, the bathroom lacked a shower curtain, which made things a bit inconvenient

Verified reviewThe Villa is owned and run by a lovely family who did their best to make us feel comfortable. The location was perfect with a view across the town and more intimate/quiet than staying by the seafront. We felt they offered exceptional value for money providing us with a lot of food for breakfast which got us off to a great start each day. I also loved the fact that they recommended us local restaurants and it was great to feel that our money was helping people in the Albanian local economy. The son speaks excellent English, the parents very little but we had no problems with communication. Also great to see that the son works at Butrint park so a friendly face to welcome us. We would definitely stay here again and wish Joni and his parents every success in the future.

Verified reviewGreat family staff, felt like home, 5 min drive from Sarande which was great because it avoids traffic and gives a quiet stay, food is great and flexible with when you want to eat,
shower could use a curtain or door as the water spills everywhere but they are aware and are remodeling the bathrooms in the summer

Verified reviewJoni - the host - is an extraordinary person! He truly cares about the guests in every possible way. There's no possibility to be taken care of more than here. Place is beautiful, rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfasts are really tasty. Even though Villa Josana is not that close to the center of Saranda, Joni is here to give you a ride there whenever you want. Just come and enjoy your time in Albania! Ewelina and Artur
