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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Statesif no car, will be a bit work to get there and to go to the neighboring beaches
The location on the side of a hill makes for some stunning views...but for those without a car, it will be a bit of a trek because it's not in the main town. The restaurant serves some amazing food and apparently other people not staying at the property knew about it because a lot of people came just for the restaurant.

This location and property was absolutely beautiful. It most definitely exceeded our expectations and provided the highest of standards for our stay in Albania, as this was our first night. The lovely woman who served us breakfast was so kind and thoughtful and the breakfast was great! We will most definitely be back!

BelgiumThe curtains are not very lightproof. I would not recommend to reach the sea by food. The distance is not long but the property is a the top of the hill.
Very nice property. The garden and terasse are gorgeous. The bed was comfortable. The food of the restaurant (evening and breakfast) was one of the best we had during our stay!

United KingdomIt's a bit of a walk to any other bar/restaurant and to the beach but we wanted to be slightly out of the way so it wasn't a problem for us. It would be great to have some seating other than the restaurant.
Everybody who works there is lovely and can't do enough to make your stay comfortable. The food in the evening is delicious! The friendly cats are a bonus too! The room was cleaned every day

United StatesThat room was on the second floor and dinner was right outside the Terrance, close approximately to the room. Dinner run to at least 10 pm so it can be nosey if you’re trying to go to bed.
The atmosphere of the accommodation. The Terrance has a nice view for breakfast and dinner. They also play nice music for dinner. Room was decent size and has everything you need.

Great sea view from the quadruple room. Very comfortable for us and our 2 children. Were made to feel very welcome in this well run, lovely place. Great food and breakfast. Very impressed with our 4 night stay and would recommend to anyone as a base for exploring the south and surrounding area of Albania. We left early for a few days in a row and the hosts cooked us a packed breakfast for our day trips... So accommodating.

NetherlandsI loved everything about this place! As soon as we arrived we got upgraded for free to a room with sea views and a view over their beautiful garden. The views are so stunning! The staff are incredibly friendly and the food at the restaurant was the best meal we had during our stay & a lot of the ingredients are local & grown in their garden. It’s also incredible value for money - highly recommended

GermanyAphrodite's Garden is a small, wonderful oasis above Himare. The view of the bay from the terrace at breakfast or dinner is fantastic. The hosts go to great lengths to ensure that you feel at home and want for nothing. We had a great time here and will recommend it to others. Thank you for your hospitality (and the yummy jam). :)

United KingdomA wonderful stay at Aphrodite’s Garden! Our room was lovely and clean with a comfortable balcony and our towels were refreshed during our stay without asking. Complimentary water and toiletries upon our arrival which was appreciated. We had a lovely seafood dinner in the restaurant and the included breakfast was plentiful and delicious! Warm and friendly staff and a fabulous owner who went above and beyond throughout our stay, even digging out her printer to print us our boarding passes when we left! Excellent proximity to beaches, Aquarium was our favourite, and close to Himarë castle ruins. We will be recommending to our friends and family!
