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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

PolandThe view from the balcony is absolutely breathtaking,the best we've had so far. The apartment is clean and beds are comfortable. The beach is nearby, although the road towards it is a little steep. The host was very kind and helpful. We loved staying there:)

LithuaniaIf the view from the terrace is not your priority and you don't have a car, I would choose another hotel, because the road from the city to the hotel is long and quite steep. There were also no shower amenities
We stayed at this hotel for one night and were pleasantly surprised by the very helpful staff. The road past the hotel leads to Filikuri beach so it's a great place to stay if you plan to go there. A wonderful panorama of the city and the sea opens from the balcony

Loved the view from the second floor balcony (room 105 curiously)! Great to have a screened door on it. Friendly reception and they lent us a kettle to use in the room. Very clean.

United StatesThe view is beautiful! The hotel is only 5 minutes from the beach. There are is a public section and of course private bed options if you’d like too. This side of Himare seemed to be quieter which we preferred! The staff were SO friendly and accommodating. If you’d like beach towels or coffee you just need to ask.

SpainIt was all perfect, we wouldn't change a thing!!! :)]
The staff of the hotel was very nice and kind. They contacted us prior to our stay to make sure someone was there waiting for us before our arrival. The girl who greeted us was very kind and made our laundry for free. The rooms were extremely clean and neat. The views were breathtaking, and the balcony with chairs made it perfect to take in the views.

United KingdomIt would have been lovely if breakfast was offered. There was a bar downstairs where you could purchase drinks only.
The property was conveniently located at the far end of Himare up a steep hill- 5 minute walk from the nearest beach. The rooms were clean and the owner very attentive and friendly. The rooms had a balcony with spectacular views over Himare.

United KingdomEverything was great
This was one of our favourite hotel during our stay in Albania (we stayed in 6!) The view is AMAZING! Step out onto the balcony and you are confronted with a completely unbelievable view of the ocean. The beds are comfy and there is a double and a single which was great. The parking is good! Short (but quite steep) walk down to the beach. Himare is great as it has public beach areas where you don’t have to pay, unlike most Albanian beaches. The balcony is also amazing, perfect to sit out and watch the sunset over the sea. The hosts are extremely helpful and kind, my sheet was damp still and I text at 11pm at night and they responded very quickly to bring me a new one :) great service!

United KingdomThe road leading to the hotel is still under construction so very much a dirt road that isn't visible on Google maps. There is no curtain or screen to stop water from the shower going everywhere.
The views from the hotel were beautiful. The rooms are spacious. The lady running the hotel was very kind and sweet - she let us use a vacuum to clean our car. The location was great.
