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...).

SpainEvery morning there was an extremely loud noise like a dryer or extractor fan going at ninety for 2 hours from like 7am to 9am and it was so noisy! We found it difficult to sleep, it took over the whole room.
Wonderful stay! The 2 main employees, men, at the desk and breakfast, were absolutely lovely, so attentive and nice, offering extra eggs and sausage at breakfast etc. We arrived a day late as I’d had food poisoning at another place in the north, and when we got there they said we didn’t have to pay for the first night we’d reserved but not stayed, so kind! The room was very clean, really big and had a nice view to the beach. Great location and quiet.

Czech RepublicThe room we had was a bit tiny, without any place to dry swimsuits. But we could manage - we used the balcony chairs :-)
Very nice small hotel operated by a local family. Excelent breakfast, beautiful sea view from the balcony and a private beach just in front of the hotel. A lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, daily room service.

United KingdomThe breakfast was fairly standard but there were a lot of flies and some of the items definitely sat out too long, especially towards the end of breakfast times.
Staff were very helpful with check in/out and anything else we needed. The room we had had a very large balcony with lovely views.

We had an amazing week in Sarande in El Mare thanks to Bjerti and all the other people working in the hotel. They are running the hotel since this summer and they are the most helpful and friendly people. The way they help out with all sort of problems at any time of the day is amazing. The view from the balcony is amazing, breakfasts were great, rooms are cleaned very well every day, aircos work amazing, parking is easily accessible, literally 20 meters from the beach, garden is nice and kids can play. Also the family of Bjerti is around in the hotel, his parents are the best, wife is really helpful as well. Whenever the kids or we needed anything they always fixed it with a smile. Also one of the few public beaches is really close, and when there are too many waves there is the river really close (5 min walking) where the kids can swim freely. Its a 3 star hotel, but it has a 5 star service! Hope to see you guys again soon!

MoldovaWe recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and we highly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The room we stayed in was immaculate. It was clean, very cozy and aesthetically pleasing. One of the standout features of this hotel is its beautiful garden. It provided a serene and picturesque setting for a morning stroll. The lush greenery and well-maintained flowers added to the overall charm of the place. In summary, our experience at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of a clean and comfortable room, a delicious breakfast, and a stunning garden made our stay enjoyable.

ItalyMe (albanian - italian) and my Boyfriend (italian) stayed in the hotel like 6 nights and we wished we stayed more! our room had a balcony with an amazing view on the sea and the city of Saranda. The room was super clean and provided with what needed. The sheets and the towels smelled really nice and we loved that! The owner and his family were incredibly welcoming and made us feel like home! The breakfast is variated and big and will keep you full! The hotel is just a few steps from the beach and has a beautiful garden where you can relax! Around there is everything you need: shops, supermarket, bars, restaurants, beach ecc. we would have loved to stay more but we will definitely come back and we highly suggest to choose this hotel for your stay!

United KingdomOur stay at El Mare hotel was nothing short of excellent! The room was comfortable and clean, and the views were spectacular. We booked for one night and ended up staying for two, and the host was so accommodating for this. The breakfast that was included was delicious and included so much! The home made petullas were especially incredible. But where really shone through was the service. Bherit is an amazing host. The sign on entry says ‘come as guests, leave as friends’ and I couldn’t agree more. He was so friendly, but never forced. He happily answered all our questions, and when we needed to get back to the port he wouldn’t let us overpay for the trip and organised our journey. He made our trip more special. Faleminderit! Nick & Emily :)

GreeceI did not like that I had to leave so soon! Will come back for sure!
We had a lovely 2 night stay at the hotel and we left with the best impression! The entire hotel was superclean and supercomfortable! The room was spacy with quite many surfaces to organize your stuff rather than picking it up from suitcase. Sheets and towels were bright white and smelled so good, which is something we adore! Bed matters to us also and we had some quality sleep due to good matress and waves' sound.. In the morning we had a very rich breakfast and the staff was very kind while reassuring that we we pleased and we did not need anything else.
