The whole point of relativity is that there is no such thing as "actual time". That's the big revolutionary idea. It says that time is, much like speed, relative. So, from the perspective of the fast traveler, their perspective of time elapsed is 80 earth years. But from the perception of the person on earth, it's 300 years. Neither is "actual time", they're both correct.
