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...).

IrelandThat we only booked 1 night
This place delivers. It is even better that the pictures suggest. Hard to capture the beauty of the property and the views from every part of the house (endless floor to ceiling windows), the huge garden/terrace area and the stunning pool. It is a dream house and Elvis is a brilliant host. If you are visiting Berat and/or the surrounding area, stay here. Just do it.

NetherlandsVilla Palma was exactly like the pictures or maybe even better. We stayed in the new villa, and everything was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed. There was so much room, both inside and outside, and the pool was absolutely amazing. Lots of privacy , which we really appreciated as we were with 2 families. A big thanks to Elvis, our host, always available, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. We had an unforgettable stay!

NorwayDream villa palma, this is the place where you can feel safe in any points, with family or friends. 1. Service, I have never experienced such a great service. 2. Manager of this villa no words to describe you Boss. 1. when you are in Villa Palma let manager manage everything like taxi, food, medicine anything you need it happens in 2-10 minutes. Just text or call and it happens so fast. 4. Cleaning is in topp. Overall you’ll never find place, service, people and managers like this place. Feels like family. Words are just small to describe Mr. Elvis. And and and obviously we will be back again😊

AlbaniaThis was my second time staying at Vila Palma, and I was genuinely impressed to experience their new ambient. The new villa is absolutely stunning — spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail in the interior gives off a true sense of luxury, without losing the warmth that makes you feel at home. The pool area was a highlight — clean, relaxing, and with a fantastic view of the surrounding hills and city. What I appreciated most was the combination of comfort, aesthetics, and value. It’s rare to find a place that offers this level of quality at such reasonable rates. I’ll definitely be coming back again — and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berat!

AlbaniaEverything was awesome!
We arrived late on a rainy day, but it was still an awesome place to hang out. The pool is definitely the highlight—clean, inviting, and perfect for relaxing. We also loved the lounge area upstairs, which offers an incredible view. It’s a great spot for both adults and kids. The tortoises were a fun surprise and added a unique touch, especially for the little ones. Overall, a great experience, rain or shine!

SwedenWe were a group of 6 friends who stayed at this great villa. Lovely place, with great views, the pool was fantastic and warm enough to swim in, in early may. Nearby minimarkets for "essentials" and a short ride to town for markets with greater selection.

GermanyThis was an absolutely fantastic villa which exceeded all our expectations - Elvis was a wonderful host, so helpful even organising a taxi for us to the wine region. It's perfectly located (when you have a car) to explore the old town and region, and with an amazing local restaurant just nearby as well as a supermarket for all your needs. We absolutely loved out time here and are only sad we didn't stay longer! Next time we absolutely will :)

Superb villa in amazing quiet location just minutes from beautiful UNESCO town of Berat. Elvis the host super friendly, helpful and flexible (and thankyou for sorting our parking ticket!) . Very comfy, good AC, super pool and gardens (we loved all the pet 12?15? tortoises and rabbits as well as Toby the cat). Villa well equipped and huge, amazing views of mountains and berat castle. Looks even better than the pictures.

United KingdomOur stay at this incredible villa near Barratt was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away by the sheer beauty of the property. The villa is immaculately clean and, remarkably, looks even better in person than in the stunning photos. The spaciousness of the villa is truly impressive, providing plenty of room for relaxation and enjoyment. Every corner of the home exudes comfort. The expansive grounds surrounding the villa add to its grandeur, offering ample space for outdoor activities and leisure. One of the highlights of this villa is the magnificent pool. It features colorful changing lights that create a magical ambiance in the evenings. We spent countless hours swimming and lounging by the pool, which quickly became our favorite spot to unwind. The barbecue area is an added bonus, perfect for enjoying delicious meals al fresco while taking in the serene surroundings. The villa's location is also a major plus. Being so close to Barratt made it incredibly convenient to explore the local attractions and amenities while still enjoying the tranquility of a private retreat. In summary, this villa is an absolute gem. It combines luxury, comfort, and breathtaking beauty in one perfect package. We were truly stunned by this property and can't wait to return. If you're looking for an unforgettable getaway near Barratt, this villa is the perfect choice!

LatviaWe absolutely loved the stay at the villa! It's huge, enough space for friends or family. Pool area is very nice with superb views day and night. Big balconies and spectacular views. Elvis is the best host you could wish for-kind,polite, helpful and brought us even fresh fruits in the morning as a gift and helped with our luggage-we felt very welcomed! There's great traditional restaurant in walking distance and also grocery shop-you have everything nearby. Berat center is in short drive. I suggest to stay at least 2 nights in villa, so you can enjoy all the amenities and great opertunities it has with no hurry :)

United KingdomThere were a few leaky plumbing issues, and the sound of woodworm could be heard in the upstairs bedroom next to the bathroom. Also, a local cat became a nuisance during our stay (trying to enter the property and begging for food).
The location, the pool and the views were amazing. Elvis was an incredible host (bringing us freshly grown fruit in the mornings, arranging taxis and being available for any queries). Thank you for a brilliant stay!

United Kingdom-
Villa Palma is one of the loveliest places we have ever stayed. The house is spacious, clean and comfortable, and is located in a friendly, safe community just outside Berat (walkable if not too hot). Elvis maintains the gardens and pool to a very high standard, and is incredibly helpful, friendly and generous, sharing delicious products from his garden with us. For animal lovers, there are rabbits and tortoises, plus a charming local cat who likes to visit and relax by the pool with guests. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
