Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe mattress was a bit dodgy, as if a chunk of it was missing. Other than this, everything was correct. The lady only speaks Albanian but you can communicate more or less with google translate.
The hotel was right in front of the beach. The accommodation also included the price of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach. We stayed one night and we could use them for 2 days at no extra cost. We could leave our bags there after we checked out until we left Himara.

United KingdomGreat location, directly opposite the beach once you cross the road. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops available. Also bakeries and a supermarket. Hotel is very clean, airy, good aircon, nice large shower. Lovely balcony with seaview. Fridge was great to keep drinks and fruit cold. Park on the road wherever you find parking.

NetherlandsThe furniture is from veneer and a bit worn out. The ceiling lights are bright white, there is one lampshade (bright light again), and you’re gonna need the (scarce) wall outlet for your charger. The sheets are too small, there is one high shelve in the closet, but nothing to put your suitcase on or your clothes in, besides the clothes hangers. The family doesn’t speak English, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch or anything else we could have understood. Our questions made on Booking about a parking place or confirmation about the seaview room were not answered. Communication overall wasn’t great; Google Translate was the only way.
Fantastic seaview! Location is great: cross the street and you are at the beach, with beds and umbrellas for rent. Good size balcony with two chairs and a table, and a short line to hang wet beach towels. The room was cleaned every day, with clean towels and clean sheets. Good working airconditioning. Big fridge in the room. The elder lady is sweet and doing her utmost best; she found us a small table to put in the room (there wasn’t any), and gave us an extra sheet because the one on the bed was 160cm large and thus uncomfortable for two. She helped carry our suitcase three floors up and gave us an iron to borrow. The bathroom light was flickering and they fixed it right the next day.

AustraliaNo wifi, which is important to know for people who rely on it. Only one plug so had to choose between fridge and TV. Both of these were not big issues for us but thought it's helpful to share.
Location is amazing. Bathroom was nice. Aircon worked, nice balcony.

United Arab EmiratesArriving in the rain, the town felt a bit dreary, but the warm welcome was lovely. The elderly couple don't speak much English but are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely little room with a balcony and a great view of the sea. We sat and watched the rain, then the sun come out. It was meant to be! The hotel may not have all modern amenities, but has a lovely authentic feel. Himarë is a nice town, we didn't stay long and it was quiet, but in the summer it is probably much busier.

NetherlandsThere wasn’t really a reception upon arriving which was quite confusing. There wasn’t any information about wifi so we sent a message about it, but didn’t receive an answer unfortunately. Lastly, the bed was nice and soft but not very ‘straight’. Because of this we rolled to the middle of the bed multiple times during the night
We loved the location and the shower was great as well. The room was nice and clean

United KingdomThe wardrobe did not have any hangers and there were no shelves so it was a bit difficult to use it. They should put a toothbrush holder in the bathroom as well as soap. There were only shampoo samples.
The hotel was very close to the beach and had sun beds and umbrella reserved on the beach which was very convenient. The room was very clean, looked new as well. The lady working there was very nice although communication was a bit limited as she spoke only Albanian and Italian. I can understand Italian but cannot speak it so we used google translate a lot.

RomaniaIt was a great choice! Everything was as in the pictures. We stayed in a sea view room with balcony. The room was sunny and bright, the bathroom was spacious without any type of humidity. It was very clean and the staff was more than attentive. Also, it’s located a few meters away from the bus stop (we came by bus from Tirana). Thank you for having us!
