Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomEverything was great, nothing to complain about. It was quiet because we stayed at the end of September so it was the end of the busy season, but if you're looking for a chilled relaxing time then its a great place. It was also only a short walk into town to be around other people, have some drinks and food elsewhere (although the restaruant at the hotel did great food).
Lovely comfortable decent sized room in a cute hotel right across the road from the beach. The staff were great and the restaurant at the front of the hotel was fabulous. A very relaxing time in the middle of our Albania trip.

NorwayWould have been nice with the following: For breakfast: Enough, hot coffee every morning, and healthier options with yogurt, fruits, musli, granola. Facilities in room: water boiler, towel hooks, floor towel, softer pillows. Beach: sun bed rental included
We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel where we stayed for six nights, we found it to be nicer than in the pictures online. We had requested sea view, and got a very nice spacious room on the top floor, with sea view, nice airy balcony with a beautiful view, including the sunset at night, small fridge, clean sheets and towels, A/C. Very close to the beach (2 min), just walk across the road, and the beach is beautiful in this location (Potami) with sun beds you can rent and beach bars. Walking distance (10 min) to the more bustling life of «downtown» Himare with its charming beach walk promenade. My daughter was happy with the included breakfast: boiled and fried eggs, sausages, feta, some veggies (tomato and cucumber), bread, croissants and traditional sweets, juice, milk and corn flakes, I would have likes some more healthy options like fruits and müsli or granola, I only noticed some yogurt (nice) the last few days. They were out of coffee when we had breakfast the first day, and only had cold coffee the second day, but the other mornings coffee was nice, hot and tasty. We ordered dinner from their restaurant several nights, my daughter loved their margarita pizza and I very much enjoyed their specialty Kolagji salad with avocado and shrimp. Service in hotel and restaurant was polite and friendly. My teenage daughter preferred the more happening part of Himare where the public beach is located, but I’d definitely return to this hotel.

United States of AmericaI looked for a kettle in the room and there wasn’t one. The hotel staff graciously gave me one from the restaurant. So not a complaint, just a suggestion.
Breakfast was delicious! Good coffee, yummy eggs, scrumptious fig jam. Thank you! Also, when we had an afternoon drink at the bar, the server gave us a plate of apples and honey - so nice!

ColombiaCards weren’t accepted whereas It was fully stipulated in booking that yes. It put us really in trouble since It was the end of our stay with few cash. We had withdraw with additional commissions of the bank 700 lek (6EUR) for each Excuse It was that card machine was broken. Honestly we did two weeks in Albania and It was often this same sentence said by hotels in order to avoid tax by the Bank. It’s a pity of this hotel since we have liked everything but they lied to us when they said that they accept cards but in fact not at all
We have liked almost everything but It was card acceptance decline that we didn’t like at all

The beach is opposite the street and it is beautiful. The sea is marvelous in this location. The room was large and comfortable. All was very clean. We had a very good breakfast. The staff was very kind. I appreciated the view from my balcony. They also have a restaurant where they serve delicious food. There is plenty of parking room in the street.

LuxembourgThe room we had was very hot and the air conditioning was a bit noisy.
The hotel is at a walking distance from Himare Center which is convenient. You have a beach in front of the hotel if you want to stay near. You can do a boat trip if you want. You take the boat in Himare. If you have a car you can reach other beaches like Jale, Drimadhes, Palase , Lukove where the sea is beautiful. Breakfast was great and the hotel has as well a restaurant. The food we tried there was of good quality.

IrelandNot within the hotel’s control but the beaches are not clean, rubbish and cigarette butts everywhere (despite there being public bins on the central beach walkway). Buses are difficult as they are very busy and overcrowded, even off season. Different to get information and buses leave whenever (twice ours left 15 minutes early) so be at bus stations early to get place onboard.
Basic but clean, spacious room with a great view. Very good breakfast with good coffee/tea. Location perfect as sea front.

AlbaniaThe room was just a bit cramped. There aren't a lot of places to hang swimsuits/towels except outside on the balcony rail, table and two chairs...leaving no place to sit. So for 3 adults in the family, one room was a bit tight.
The view is lovely. The place was very clean, the staff is sweet and accommodating. It's close to a beautiful beach. It was quiet and peaceful. We returned here for a second year and stayed in the same room, so that should tell you that the inconveniences mentioned were minimal!

United KingdomThe room was super clean, spacious and so pretty with its balcony and view across to the sea. There was a table and chairs too. The location was fantastic, just step across the road to the beach. Breakfasts were good, even as vegans we were catered for, and the non vegans in our party were spoilt for choice. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we can't fault the service at all. The road could be noisy at night, but in the main bedroom it was nice and quiet.
