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.).

NetherlandsNothing to complain. Only when you want city life i wouldnt recommend, its a small city and not much to do. Also min 20-35 min walking to the city. 10€ by taxi to get to the center.
The view and private space at the water is amaaazing, just like the pictures!! It was fully booked but still soooo many day beds always availeble.

Calm, tranquil few days, if your looking to slow yourself down this is the place for you. Everything you need is here, bar, snack bar, delicious local homemade food and family, friendly owners. Helped arrange a lift to the port. Let us stay until late afternoon using the facilities until our departure.

United KingdomThere was nothing bad about the property. We found it really lovely.
It was very homely and the staff were super lovely! They always went above and beyond. The location is also perfect, as it’s in a quiet area and restaurants are a close drive away. Breakfast was good too, and portions sizes are generous. Honestly, a really lovely stay at this family run hotel.

United KingdomNothing negative to say! ☺️
So many wonderful things about this property, not sure where to start! 1) The location is on the outskirts of Sarande on a peaceful stretch of coastline, so it’s perfect for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful location which is in walking distance of central Sarande (15 min walk) and a good base for exploring the surrounding areas by car. Parking is available outside the villa. 2) It has its own private beach with loungers and umbrellas available to guests for free. Beautiful natural view with easy access to the ocean which is perfect for a swim anytime of day. 3) Stayed in one of the newly renovated deluxe rooms which was beautifully decorated - very modern, spacious and clean. We had a large balcony overlooking the ocean with views of Corfu. 4) Great value for money, especially with breakfast included in the price. 5) Breakfast is different everyday and was honestly one of our favourite parts of our stay. Looked forward to it every morning! We also had dinner at the property several nights simply because the atmosphere, food and value for money was excellent. Also meant we got to enjoy the sunset at the property. 6) They have cats! If you love animals like us, you’ll love the handful of cats that have called the strip of properties down this coastline home. The owner was also hand rearing a baby goat that made appearances every morning and evening for his dinner which was so adorable. 7) Last but not least, the family that ran the property. They are so hospitable and kind and made you feel so welcome. Can’t thank them enough for such a lovely stay! Definitely recommend this place to stay for anyone visiting the Albanian riviera in the future.

United KingdomThe room was quite humid making the bed feel like it was wet when lying on it or the clothes
We loved our stay at Villa Xhefri. The staff were 5*. We were supposed to arrive at around 4pm but with late flights ended up arriving at 10pm and they allowed us to check in late and provided us dinner. The room was very clean and had a great view of the sea. It was a little far away from centre but we were aware of this and this was what we wanted. A little peace and quiet. Breakfast was not buffet it was served to you and for me this was perfect. It felt every day I was there I had a healthy breakfast to start my day.

PortugalUnable to pay by card, you will need to take cash. Not exactly walkable. It is slightly underexplored, has amazing potential.
The property is hard to locate from the street as it is quite hidden, the access to the rooms is atypical as you do not have your regular reception area. However, it has the most stunning views and is extremely familiar and cozy. The breakfast is simple, but different throughout the days so you don't always get the same thing. Rooms are extremely spacious and the private beach is amazing. Only a 5 minute car drive to the center of Sarande where there are many restaurants and food options.

GermanyWe had the shower head basically above the toilet. Since everything was super clean, that wasn’t a big issue though. The location is great in terms of the beach, the walk to town though can be a bit daunting when It’s warm and humid.
The hotel is such good value for money, the beach is stunning, staff is lovely, the room was super clean and comfy.
