Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThey are very precious about towels. You can only use the towel for the pool from your room. If you wanted one from pool area you had to pay. If you then use the spa you only have ur pool towel which wasn’t great have a soaking towel.
Gorgeous hotel and well maintained. Friendly staff

AustriaBreakfast was not ready when started at 8am, the selection was not too big for a 5 star hotel. No Concierge Services available or info on the area.
We liked the room, it was super spacious, comfy beds and nice linen. Bathroom also very big and walk in closet. View as nice and had electrical curtains. Stylish but a bit of kitsch.

AlbaniaThe only thing we didn’t like was the food. It was really bad. We tried the fish menu and the meat menu and we were very disappointed from everything we tried.
The staff was amazing. They were all very polite and kind. Room was very clean and the whole experience in general was really good and very relaxing.

The entire building has a glamorous aspect and the pool has a nice charm. Service was very good also!

The location is beautiful and outlooks on the sea. The room was very spacious, so was the bathroom! Very pretty.

United KingdomThe airport shuttle taxi arranged for us didn't arrive so we had to make other arrangements to get to the hotel which really worried us as it was my first time in Albania. Also would have liked more selection of food at the hotel restaurant.
All the staff were really nice, especially Sabrina the night shift receptionist that worked with my Fiance to give me a surprise spa experience on my birthday and the Older morning shift waiter that always gave us exceptional service during our breakfast meals.

Netherlandsnothing! but if we have to point out something it is the choice and volume of music at the pool. One enjoys it and the other is bothered by it, we think it is not necessary in such a beautiful atmosphere and environment. and that people were smoking large cigars in the restaurant by the boss himself, which was a real shame that evening for other guests as well. That is really no longer possible in this day and age, especially when everyone on the staff is doing their best and is passionate about the business. he must set an example! nothing more than praise!
All! really worth 5 stars. everything was great. room, restaurant with top chefs, the receptionists in particular great! the service, especially the older waiter at the top breakfast, moved like a butler and was very attentive. The building is only a few years old and has been recreated in an Italian atmosphere, but it certainly radiates quality. The Spa can be reserved for guests each day for private use. it is located a little further from the beach 750 meters. but we preferred to stay at the hotel. you don't want to leave there anymore. We will definitely go back! great hotel!

United KingdomNothing to comment on here
Everything about this hotel is pleasing from the first impression when you arrive outside it, to the staff, in particularly each and every member of the staff, they are all so committed to making your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. The spa is also a great place to relax. The location is a bit away from the centre of Durres, but if you are up for a bit of local exploring then make use of the local bus services, 2 euros to Tirana and 40 cents to the centre of Durres!

United KingdomSlightly disappointed with the breakfast I adore fresh fruit and all there was was water melon and some apples . First world problems I know , but you did ask !! The kitchen was right by the dining area and I can’t help thinking that it would be great to have freshly cooked omelettes etc made to order instead of food lying around for a few hours . Just a suggestion !
The opulence It was quiet and we LOVED the 2 swimming pools The room was super comfortable although it wasn’t to my taste my partner LOVED it . Everything in the room worked perfectly .

United KingdomJust be aware that if you want a beach hotel the beach is a few streets away. Considering we are from UK where tea is available is on the order of the day, we were a bit disappointed to see we have only 1 teabag in the room.
Very clean, very classy. The place was very quite, privacy +++. Amazing room. The spa was really nice and the fact that you can book the Spa just for your family and friends is great! Breakfast excellent, lots of options! We only stayed in the hotel compound as it was a short visit. Coffee and the minibar in the room was great.

SwedenUpon check-in, we noticed that the shower head and taps/sinks were not as clean as they could have been. This was a shame because everything else was amazing! With the location, it was a bit far from the beach and city, but the hotel area itself was really nice :)
It felt like a posh hotel! Lovely decorations, excellent facilities in the hotel area (the two pool areas, tennis court) etc. Breakfast was also really good! They even had avocado toast :) Also, the spa treatment was really good!
