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.).

GermanyThe hotel is in a great location. Right on the lake and directly on a small stretch of beach. It is also not far away from the Promenade. The hotel itself is very well equipped. The rooms have everything you need and are very clean. The absolute highlight is the balcony where you can enjoy the sunrise. Breakfast is served on a cute terrace, also with a sea view. The breakfast is very tasty. It has everything you need. The staff are super hospitable and nice. We felt very comfortable here.

United KingdomUnfortunately my husband hates omelettes and we weren’t given the option to pick boiled or fried eggs at breakfast. No coffee provided at breakfast but unsure if you have to pay extra? Some people did get coffee.
Set in a beautiful location a short walk from a small secluded beach area where you can swim in the lake. The beds were comfortable and the area was very peaceful for a good nights sleep. The staff kindly did our laundry for us and hung them up to dry. The view from which to eat breakfast was stunning and the guy who speaks English was very friendly.

FranceNothing, it’s perfect
The property is very beautiful, the point of view is amazing honestly, it’s possible to park the car in security, there is a little city (Shkodra) right next to Bella Vista. It’s quiet, clean, pleasant and the hosts are very friendly. The breakfast is very good. We recommend this !!

United KingdomThe child-rails on the bed made it a bit challenging to get in and out...but that's something I was happy to live with given the beauty of the location.
We were looking for a place to get away and relax, and this property was perfect for this. I loved sitting out on the balcony looking over the lake. I could literally feel the stress roll off of me.

SlovakiaEverything was superb! The owner prepared delicious take-away breakfast for us very early, only thanks to his pure good heart that you can also see the minute you meet with him! Sunset from the balcony with the lake view is just wow! And something definitely worth mentioning that we did not read in other reviews: there is a really nice lake promenade with bars only about 1km away! We wished we have booked more nights at Bella Vista! Thank you so much for everything! Alexandra and family

ItalyI'd like to share my experience staying at the Hotel Bellavista in Albania, overlooking the magnificent Lake Skadar. The value for money was excellent, with a breathtaking lake view and enveloping silence offering a tranquil atmosphere. My room was basic yet equipped with everything needed, including a clean environment and a smart flat-screen TV. Despite the bathroom's small size, it was fully functional. The hotel had a family feel, with a small but very friendly staff. Breakfast was satisfactory, with the added bonus of lake views from the outdoor seating area. The hotel accepts only cash payments, and parking was conveniently available on the premises. I recommend it for a day trip to the lake.

IrelandStaying in the winter, the rooms are not heated until arrival, so be a bit patient as they don't take long to get cozy!
This place is a gem. We LOVED the location and the view, and while the room is a bit basic, it's priced very fairly. The staff were very warm and accommodating, but do have your translation app available if you're not an Albanian speaker.

If you want to be away from the city and it a quiet spot by the lake this is perfect. The owner did us a huge favour when our booked driver didn't show at 6am..He gave us a lift to the main bus station so we could get our bus to Komani lake. Otherwise we would have missed it
