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.).

10/10 that’s my summary. But if I have to highlight something from the rest, I would say the group of people that work in the hotel, that are 100% of the time trying to make your stay a little bit better. I would definitely recommend this Hotel to anyone that want to enjoy the beauty of the Southern part of Albania.

The receptionist was friendly and went over and beyond to make our stay worthwhile. The hotel is cosy and smelled good.

SpainArea Hotel is not just another hotel. From the very first moment we felt welcomed and that we would be well taken care of. You don't just feel like another client but really that you are a guest being hosted by the people running the hotel. Breakfast changed daily, with good choice, both in salty and sweet and good tasty food. The rooms are cute and comfortable. It is five minutes to the beach and all the necessary business. For dinner we got great tips from the receptionist that she also always checked if we had liked the places and how our stay was going. Perfect amount of attention. We felt sad to leave.

PolandSoundproofing could be better. The cleaning service ignored the do not disturb sign on my door
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are just awesome. The room is very big and with good amenities. The bed is ok but quite soft and the bathroom is clean. The breakfasts are one of the best I’ve ever had, with a variety of choices and fresh ingredients. The hotel is close to the beach and the city. There is a parking lot for the guests, which is convenient and safe.

United KingdomThe room was comfy, clean and matched the description/pictures on the website; and the hotel staff were really friendly and always around to help. The location of the hotel was great (short walk to the beach/restaurants, but far enough away to avoid the noise from the beach clubs), and within driving distance to Gjirokaster/the Blue Eye/Butrint etc; and the breakfast and overall service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

United KingdomWe don't have a bad word to say :)
We absolutely cannot fault our stay at Area hotel. All of the staff members were incredibly polite and friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The room was a great size, with a huge comfortable bed and lots of storage space. The pool was a good size with plenty of sun loungers and the hotel really is a stone's throw from the beach. Finally, the breakfast was varied, delicious and fresh everyday. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

United KingdomThe family and staff running the hotel went out of their way to make us feel welcome and help with our arrangements. Miki , at reception, went above and beyond to give suggestions and make dinner and beach club reservations for us. I'm also celiac and needed to eat gluten free for breakfast, the staff was extra kind to set aside special things for me. Parking was easy and free. The room and bed were comfortable and the breakfast was nice. All around great experience.

United KingdomNothing that I can think of
This is a lovely hotel located within walking distance to the beach front but it was nice to be slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the main beach area. The breakfasts were excellent and the pool area, though small suited us perfectly. We stayed in the suite with jacuzzi and this worked well for our family of 4 and was immaculate. The staff were also so helpful and helped book restaurants and tell us beaches to go to.
