How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

One minus would be the air conditioner, which did not work constantly – sometimes it was cold, sometimes not.
We stayed for two nights in a nice and quiet location, not far from the sea. Communication with the hosts was very good – kind and open, we understood each other perfectly, each in his own language. The rooms are clean, the kitchen is well equipped, and the yard offers parking space, which is an important advantage. The area is quiet, although the comfort may depend on the neighbors, depending on luck. Overall, a pleasant stay, with welcoming people and decent conditions.

Everything was perfect
Panorama the house is beautiful clean and with a fanstastic view ! This is perfect to rest in calm and quiet environnement for a couple of days. You will have the best welcome, the host is super friendly and helpful. She also provided us with a traditional Albanian breakfast made of local pancakes, crepes , local milk, and coffee, everything was organic and absolutely DELICIOUS! 2 mn from the house there is a river of natural water from the mountains, perfect to refresh on a hot summer! There are also plenty of local restaurant in the area. Everyone is very friendly. We really welcomed. You can park on the premises too. We 100% recommended you to stay here. You will have the best night and stay you can experience. We warmly thank the hosts once again ! If we ever head that way, we will come back for sure :)

Bed was a bit hard but it was ok
The owners makes this place so nice, we didn’t speak the same language but we had some great laughs, it’s very quiet and peaceful but you’re still only 5 min walking from the beach. Durres itself is a 10 min drive but a easy one so perfect location

Great little guest house a few blocks from the beach. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Comfy beds, a/c, kitchen with limited cooking utensils, good shower/wet room. Clothes horse to dry our clothes and a garden to lock our bike. Was quiet and secure. Highly recommend staying here.

Small space , good for one night stay. Inside of apartment you have only beds which are not that comfortable. Sufficient beds for family with 3 children. Could be more clean. Toilet was broken moving from place with some water leak. No privacy since there are plenty other apartments rented inside of same garden. Wifi is terrible and shared between all apartments , you need to sit in front of apartment to catch a little bit of it.
Location of apartment is close to city beach. Dogs are welcome. Price since location is in city center.

It is really close to the beach, but that's the only plus. Being in transit I booked two days, but after one night I had to leave due to the unacceptable conditions The price, although ridiculously low, is not worth even half of it, I don't know how it got such a high rating from many reviews when the real rating is one. The room was somewhat ok, but the owner lies on Booking.com that it has air conditioning, he confirmed this to me on the phone, but it was only in the evening when we needed to use it that we found that that antique yellowed by time did not work. As a screen against the sun, a worn sash nailed to the walls of the terrace. Parking too many cars crammed into that space, among the cars an alley where many children play with scooters and bicycles, constantly hitting cars. I didn't think I would ever find such a bad accommodation on Booking.com. A local scam and a horrible experience. To return - never, run away from this accommodation.

Beds were very hard, the hot water cylinder / pipes made intermittent squealing noises which were fairly noticeable, shower was in the bathroom with no glass up so the floor gets very wet.
Close to the beach and food options, secure car parking, self-contained kitchen, friendly owners. Generally pretty comfortable once you found your way through the dated neighbourhood.

The sink was leaking. The kitchen had very basic equipment. The standard was very basic considering the price. Durrës was unfortunately an unpleasant city full of litter.
The room was clean and the outdoor kitchen was all right.
