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.).

United Kingdom- Breakfast was a bit limited - there was little variety from day to day. It was filling, but a bit more variety would have been nice. - WiFi was free but it was very unreliable. - The layout of the bathroom didn’t make much sense and there was no door on the shower, this means everything gets wet even if you are trying to be careful. - It would have been nice to have had a slight discount as a guest of the hotel in the restaurant.
- It is right on the beach - less than 10 seconds to walk. - The room was a decent size and the beds were comfortable. - It was nice to not have to pay for sunbeds. - Staff were friendly and helpful. - Room was cleaned every day to a good standard. - The attached restaurant was good and offered a nice variety of dishes for a fair price. - The hotel is close to many different restaurants and shops so there is plenty of choice for meals. - It is possible to walk into Durrës (40 minutes if walking slowly) - Beds were fairly comfortable.

United KingdomThe breakfast was poor, not a lot of choice and the quality of what was there was poor. Tea and coffee was cold. The bread and the pastries felt stale.
The hotel is in a great location on the beach with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants close by. The hotel has sunloungers on the beach that are free for hotel guests. The room was fine for what we needed and included a fridge that was helpful for keeping our water cold. The staff were mostly helpful. Although the restaurant staff were not very attentive.

United StatesIt has an elevator but you still have to take stairs to get to the lobby. Wouldn't work for a handicapped person and not fun to lug luggage up and down the stairs. Bathroom has a partially open shower resulting in a lot of water on the floor after showering.
Proximity to the beach. Breakfast was good. Sufficient parking.

RomaniaThe room (the 3 beds version) was quite small, the bathroom had plumbing/ pipes issues resulting in waves of strange smell. Bathroom itself is tiny and crowded. Breakfast not varied, it is almost the same every day. Fridge in the room was most of the time overheating the exterior closet inclosure.
The reception staff is very polite and professional - they helped us check in really early (even before 11 AM), once the room was available. Hotel location is quite good. The facilities are welcoming families with kids. The mattress of the bed is comfortable. Really nice view from the balcony. Air conditioning was working really well.

Czech RepublicPerhaps it is just a quirk of mine, but I was a bit disappointed that the cooked foods at breakfast (e.g. eggs and sausages) were not kept in a warming tray. Other that that, the breakfast buffet was satisfactory.
The location of the hotel was as close to the beach as possible. Since that was the primary reason for my visit, this was an important aspect. The room was quite comfortable and clean, and all necessities were supplied. The room which they assigned to me had a lovely balcony and I could see the beach and sea very easily. The price of the hotel room included the use of a beach umbrella and also daily breakfast. These things all added to a relaxation of the holiday. If I were to return to Durres, I would certainly consider booking Hotel Virginia.

Relaxation by the Albanian Coast Location: Hotel Virginia boasts a superb beachfront location in Durrës, Albania. Perfect for a seaside escape, the hotel offers easy access to the beach and stunning ocean views, especially if you request a room with a balcony. While a 30-minute walk from the city center, the hotel provides a tranquil retreat close to the calming waves. Cleanliness and Comfort: Guests consistently praise the hotel's cleanliness. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and spotless bathrooms. The attentive staff takes pride in keeping everything spotless, including the beach area. Amenities: While reviews suggest breakfast is sufficient, it might not be extravagant. However, the hotel makes up for it with excellent value. Some guests have mentioned free beach towels and the option to dine on a terrace overlooking the sea, creating a delightful ambiance. Staff: The friendly and helpful staff is a highlight for many visitors. They seem to go the extra mile, with some reviewers mentioning early check-in or late check-out experiences. Overall: Hotel Virginia offers a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay at a great price. If you prioritize stunning ocean views, a peaceful atmosphere, and friendly service, this hotel is a strong contender for your Durrës adventure.

United KingdomThe breakfast was usually cold , even the food that should have been warm. A coffee machine at breakfast would have been better as they kept making jugs of coffee, so you either had to wait or the coffee had gone cold. Also no kind of toaster at breakfast that there usually is and we use a lot.
The location was very good and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We asked reception to phone us a taxi for a short trip. They were all busy so the manager took us in his car. The room was lovely and clean and the sea view, which we had booked was lovely .The balcony was a lovely size to sit out in.
