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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Czech RepublicThe hotel has bad sound insulation, you can hear people and shower noises from other rooms.
This is an older hotel but well kept and clean, right on the beach. Breakfast is in the hotel restaurant in a separate building on the beach, pleasant and pretty. Breakfast was good. We had dinner there as well and that was excellent and tasty.

Germanyits directly on the street sh4 so sometimes it was very loud and there were also constructions works nearby that was the reason why it was so cheap - well for us it was okay during the day we went away from the hotel because of the noise. they didnt clean the room for three days so we werent happy with the cleaning.
First of all: we had a great time and the stuff was very friendly and helping, even if they didnt spoke much english. the breakfast was very good and also the location of the hotel. there are a lot of restaurants nearby and there is a bus station in front of the hotel.

BelgiumDuhej te ishte e theksuar se 'Hotel Benilva" ishte ne renovim e siper dhe hoteli qe kisha prenotuar ishte thjesht nje shtojce qe nuk ngjante fare me ate qe une dikur kam frekuentuar Pastertia linte per te deshiruar Mungonte ekipi per mirembajtje Shikonim kuzhinjeren dhe kamarierin qe 'ne kohe te lire " vinin te pastronin dhomat... (E pakuptueshme)
Dikur 'Hotel Benilva" Ka pas traditë dhe jam ndar shume e kenaqur Tani qe ishte Benilva 2 nuk ngjante fare E vetmja gje e mire ishte miresjellja e pronareve dhe punonjesve gjithashtu

United KingdomI booked hotel for a restful holiday which I have once per year. On a website it was stated some construction work will finish end of May 2023. When we arrived there was construction work next to the hotel full on. I believe they are just building next Benilva. From 7.30 am till 3pm drilling, banging, terrible noise. One day concrite arrived and terrible smell was even on a beach. The fumes from old diesel car were spreading that it was hard to breath. If you don't want to have ruined holiday don't bother to come for at least one year. When I have complained I was offered refund if I leave room, but in the middle of season there was nowhere to go. I'm quite shock how can you not inform customers that construction is still fully going on. We have paid 83 Euro per night stay there for 8 nights, which is not cheap. Also pictures are staged and in reality everything looks different. Breakfast first day was even ok, next day worst and worst. How can you fry sausage with plastic foil on, it is beyond me. Room was not cleaned through 8 nights, it was only provided with clean towels. Mosquitoes nets were in a window but you couldn't close them properly hence loats of bites.
Sea, sunbeds and nice weather. Man who was managing sunbeds was trying to keep beach clean all the time, which I really appreciate. Thank you.

DenmarkThe staff doesnt speak english, no cold water in the room so the toilet didnt work, food is awful, you cant pay by card and so I ended up paying 8 euros too much because they didnt have change. Even the taxi that they called when we left they managed to give a wrong adresse so we ended up in a wrong place. Stay away this a scam big time.

The breakfast was more then enough with a variety to satisfy you. Great location. I definitely will refer family and friends to stay there. We will be going back again to this hotel on our next visit to Albania.
