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 reviewWalking distance from the beaches, nice swimming pool.
Our room had mold on the walls and was really much older then what you would assume from the pictures. Expensive for what you get, in comparison with our other 8 stays in Albania. The staff, could barely speak English, and was not friendly at all.

Verified reviewWe had a 1 week stay at Vila Shpetimi. We liked a lot the atmosphere, it feels like home, very comfortable and welcoming. It was clean everywhere, and food was super good! Home made delicious food, for a very good price if you want to order something for lunch or dinner. Good wifi everywhere. Highly recommended!
The staff barely spoke English, sometimes it was tricky to order something, but then I just used a Google translate to Albanian. Not a big problem

Verified reviewA great location, just far enough away from the busy centre to be calm and relaxing, but close enough to easily walk down for meals and a day at the beach. Amazing view from our apartment so sunrise, sunset and all throughout the day. A washing machine was a fantastic plus, as was having an oven and hob. We always managed to get 5 sun loungers by the pool and being able to use inflatables in the pool was fab.
We all had plenty of space, but it would be good if it was clearly advertised as a double bed, sofabed and sofa, to use as a bed in the lounge.

Verified reviewI had a great stay at this villa! The most important thing for me was how clean everything was – I have never been in a place that was so clean. It was really perfect. The breakfasts were very tasty and fresh. The people who work there are super friendly and kind. I felt very welcome and comfortable. I would love to come back one day!

Verified reviewThe property is clean, spacious, modern and well decorated. The staff is super nice. The value you pay is worth it. In about 8 min walk you are at the center of ksamil and a few minutes more and you are by the beach. Has parking space, mini fridge with freezer and a very special touch, mosquito nets on all windows that lead to the balcony. This is a chill and quiet hotel, many families come here, but we went as a group of 5 young people and had no problems with noise. They have a bar/restaurant on the premises with better pricing than most restaurants, however if you want traditional dishes, you have to order them in advance. Finally, it is on a hill so it has a good view into the rest of the town.

Verified reviewEverything was perfect! Lovely family offered a warm welcome, very friendly. Apartment was as expected, amazing pool - Did not have time to dip in but we walked around and the property is beautiful. Very comfortable rooms, great shower. The breakfast set up in the morning was wonderful. my family enjoyed the breakfast especially a type of pastry bread (I do not know what it is called) in the basket was yummy. Definitely recommend this property to families and couples. Would love to stay here again. Not to far from the beach. Overall, excellent service! Thank you very much :)

Verified reviewLooks better in pictures, than in real life. Room was comfortable, but we were localised under the breakfast area, and you can't sleep through breakfast. Pool was private and there were plenty of sunbeds to use and they were also free of charge.
There is a lot of noise in general in the area. Its not possible to read a book by the pool as there is music playing from 6 different places at all times - but the whole town is a music disaster with party music. Also it is not possible to go to the beach at all - except if you rent a sunbed in a crowded noicy place for a day (not worth), go to a smaller town instead. - except if you go to party.

Verified reviewEverything was perfect, from arrival to checkout. Villa is modern, elegant and very clean, plus the room with jacuzzi has an incredible view on the mountains, sea and small islands. The host family could not be nicer. Its a little further from the beach (around 20min), but has a nice and calm location, and the view is worth the walk :)

Verified reviewAmazing staff, especially the older lady, extremely hard working. She cooks, cleans, manages the place, and everything in between. Very nice and clean pool. Quiet and cozy place, and both rooms were great. The penthouse was extremely spacious and cozy as well.
The location isn't amazing. It's 15-20 min away from the city center, and the way there is very difficult if you are drunk.

Verified reviewWhat a special little hotel this is. Run by a beautiful family who cannot do enough for you. Excellent facilities and close to everything but far enough away from the crowds. Lovely breakfast and very tasty evening meals all homemade. Stayed 3 nights and wished I had booked longer. Will definitely be returning.
That I had to leave!
