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.).

The pool and view from the pool is absolutely beautiful. The owner is also such a pleasant man who came to speak to us every day. You feel like you are hosted in their home and the food is spectacular.

Everything was perfect! The Stella Mare is essentially a "villa" with few - but well furnished - apartments run by a very lovely family. The owners and the staff make sure you feel like at your own home: for us it worked!!! We spent only 2 days in this amazing and quite place, where we found the right relax for the end of our holidays. The swimming pool and the restaurant are simply amazing and both of them have a "wooooow" view.

ItalyNothing major. The street to reach the Villa from Stari Grad is not really super easy, but it's worth it.
The swimming pool was super good, we ended up spending most of our time there. The Villa is located in a quite isolated area of the island (c. 40 mins from Hvar), which allows for a relaxing stay. Very close to a few beaches. The restaurant was really good, although there were not many options. The owners were very kind and friendly.

NetherlandsWe came to this part of Hvar to enjoy the beautifull Adriatic coast at its best. We stayed at Stella Mare for three days and could not find one single thing that could have been done better next time. You can not receive too much kindness.
Stella Mare is a family owned appartement and it shows in everything. Excellent facillities (awesome infinity pool), amazing cooking (by the mother of the family) but most of all, a warm and truely kind staff that make your holiday the best you can wish for.

United KingdomOnly comment is that whilst a kettle is supplied in the room, no tea or coffee is supplied. We had a 1yo with us so were often awake once she awoke at 5.30am before breakfast or room service so as new parents coffee is essential. The staff service is very attentive so if I remembered to ask I am sure they would have brought some. Also, we were there for 5 days and our room wasn't cleaned once, I'm not sure if this is part of the design for 'studio apartments' as they are more self catering, but I was a little surprised that they weren't cleaned at least once in that time, at least to empty bins etc. (Baby nappies in there!) We left the bin bag out the front and it was collected a day or so afterwards. But as we had no spare bin bags we had to use our old shopping bags.
Absolutely beautiful hotel, staff are exceptional and the pool is amazing, often very quiet or even have it to yourself which is really nice. The beach has so many coves and clear water and is a two minute walk. I liked the remoteness of the area, we hired a car, which I would recommend for the island, and also I would advise booking the car in advance as there seems to be short supply, especially if you need a child car seat as not all car hire places have them. Get a sea view apartment with a balcony facing the sea, the room we got was lower down and had hardly any views. I would stay here again 100% (maybe without a small child so I can enjoy those views in peace and not worry about a toddler) and also I would get a room with a better view.

Staying at Villa Stella Mare felt like visiting a good friend's house. The hosts were exceptionally friendly. Every morning the breakfast was delicious. They have a private restaurant with tables reserved only for their guests. They offer fresh seafood from their catch of the day, which was expertly prepared in a wood grill.
