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.).

DenmarkThe little balcony is not a real balcony as from what is described from other guests but it did not bother us we still enjoyed sitting there in the afternoon and having a beer or two- the only thing was that because of that no wind was really blowing there so our beach clothes would never dry during the evening and would be smelly in the morning from humidity.
Great location next to the beach- very clean and comfortable room in the heart of Himare. Great value for money - I highly recommend this place

United KingdomI spent 2 nights here and everything was perfect. The room was a good size, bed most comfortable, good shower and only a few minutes walk from the main street in Himare where all the restaurants are. There were even tea and coffee making facilities which I didn’t find anywhere else in Albania. Communication with Sofia was excellent, she responded to messages very promptly. I decided to extend my stay in Himare, and even though there was unfortunately no availability here, Sofia was really helpful in recommending an alternative accommodation. I would not hesitate to recommend Sofia’s cozy rooms.

United KingdomNothing.
Sofia was a lovely host and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp prior to arrival to check parking location (which was available right outside). The hotel location is brilliant, you are so central and can walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. There is a little courtyard outside the room which is nice to have a quite drink in and hang wet towels/swimsuits. Even though the hotel is right next to the busy road, there is no noise in the room so it feels very peaceful. Would happily return if we were ever back in Himare.

BrazilEverything. The room is beautiful and very well located. It was our oasis after spending the day on the beach under the almost 40 degrees sun. Even though there is no parking area, Sofia managed to reserve a spot for us to park the car in front of the building. Although the parking space is not guaranteed, there is a huge paid parking place 7 minutes walking from there, so I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Himare.

FinlandUseless terrace - There were a lot of flies ruined the whole experience. We tried to get rid of them using some spray which was not that helpful. You won’t sit there peacefully without flies attacking. The table on the terrace was kinda old with one slightly broken leg. It was also noisy due to the location closed to the road. It was a bit unsettling to have a camera pointing directly to the terrace.
Clean room Good location to the main beaches Well-functioned air conditioner Beach umbrella provided by the host was a big plus

United KingdomThere was nothing that I didn't like- it was a perfect stay!
I loved everything about Sofia's Cozy Rooms. My room was so nice and comfortable. It was clean, safe, and it had everything you need. I loved the decor and the bathroom was really modern and well fitted. The room was so spacious and it had a fridge, kettle and some cutlery and tea cups for making hot drinks. You can easily buy your own breakfast from local shops and eat breakfast in the lovely patio. The room had it's own outdoor patio which had lovely plants and a washing line for doing your own laundry. I loved sitting out here in the morning listening to the waves of the sea. The closest beach is less than a minute away across the road from the rooms and it's so close to the main downtown area where you have restaurants, cafes and shops and the bus stop for Tirana. You can also walk all the way to Potam beach at the end of the bay. Sofia is the perfect host! She is so welcoming and helpful, and she kept in touch throughout my stay. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Himarë and would stay there again. I would highly recommend to book this place, it's such good value for money and wonderful. Thank you Sofia!

United StatesBathroom was a little on the small side, but perfectly usable.
The room was cozy, as advertised 😀 Location is good - just a 2-3 minute walk to the main beach promenade. Also very close to the bus stops for Tirana and Saranda. The property is on the main road leading into town and there was a little noise from motorbikes during the evening, but things quieted down nicely by 10pm. I slept very well there. Shower was enclosed and had doors, so you could take a shower without flooding the bathroom.
