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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

New ZealandThere was nothing I didn't like. Everything was exceptional.
The home cooked meals were delicious local dishes, all cooked with local ingredients. The room was lovely, and the balcony is a nice bonus. The staff (Ante and Tina) were exceptional, very hospitable, welcoming, and made excellent company. The location was fantastic. A little sleepy town, with not much happening - it was the perfect destination for a relaxed holiday. There was plenty to do in the area, and the lake is just a short 5 minute walk away and was great for swimming.

LithuaniaLiked everything, just a tip, visit shop before coming here, because closest shop we found was like 15 km drive away. There's one like 3km away, but owner doesn't speak English and doesn't take cards, so that's that.
Sort of surreal experience, it's like being in a middle of nowhere, yet it's incredibly beautiful. Room was shockingly clean (I mean all possible crevices were cleaned), beds were comfortable, honestly can't remember the last time I slept so well. Views are stunning both ways, one side there's this huge blue lake, and on the other side there's enormous mountains. There was a curly dog that accompanied our walks. Loads of kittens in the yard, few donkeys. We didn't try the dinner/breakfast but the smells that were coming from outside were amazing, so reckon they're pretty good. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

AustraliaBeautiful countryside accommodation. It is located in a remote area of croatia. We felt like the only tourists in town. Beautiful lake views from the property. The hosts were wonderful and very acomdating. They cooked us a delicious traditional homemade Croatian meal for dinner and served us a delicious breakfast. The property is full of super cute animals, including donkeys, which I absolutely loved!

FranceHmmmmm…just rent a car on your own to avoid any inconvenience.
This is the best apartment i have ever stayed in all my life experiences of traveling, where should i start from?the host was extremely helpful,professional, he knows how to deal with guests, friendly, attentive and he helped us a lot during our stay. He provided almost everything just to feel at home. I ate meat and free wine, though i don’t drink 😃. My children and i really felt at home. Have i mentioned the woman who cook at the restaurant?oh ! she was so kind with us ,her cooking skills deserve a standing ovation 👍😁and she was always there to help us out with any little thing. I already have a place to stay anytime am in Vlika no need to search for another apartment apart from this property. I would also like to appreciate all the guests who we met there and the host friends that came during our stay “ you guys are the real VIP.

United KingdomWe had an awesome welcome from Tina and Ante, who on arrival gave us some homemade wine and then sat and had dinner with us. The lake was lovely, and we really enjoyed seeing their animals (donkeys, goats, ducks, cats, and dogs). It's well worth the trip off the beaten track . We had such a lovely time that it was the only place on our road trip we stayed for two nights. Breakfast was lovely.

SwedenThe property is really good. We stayed in a room with a balcony and a lake view and the view was really amazing. It is very close to go to the lake and staff of the property is very friendly and helpful. They offer really amazing, homemade/fresh food in their restaurant. Since a lot of swimming places in croatia have stones and you need to have special shoes this lake was amazing because it is not stony and really comfortable to take a swim. It is very peaceful and good place for relaxing and meditation. Rooms are very clean and freshly done. The owner of the house offers a lot of different activities free of charge. This place is really amazing who wants to have peaceful vocation with a nice view and comafortable stay. The only disadvantage is that village by itself is located quite far from civilization and there are not so many places to visit around. To the closest market and village city is about 12 km but it takes to drive about 20 minutes.

We are really happy that we stayed in Budisa. Do not expect too much from the room as it is basic but otherwise it was just amazing. The owner and his employee are so kind and friendly. We drank homemade red wine after we arrived and had a great breakfast in the morning. It feels like you are staying at a farm as they have dogs, cats, goats, donkeys and a huge vegetable garden. We are sad that we just stayed one night. I would recommend to stay at least two nights. Pixie, the white dog, is so cute and we hope that we can have another walk with her and her friends soon! Thank you for letting people from all around the world into your house and garden!! Hospitality at the highest level! Hvala!

BelgiumWhen arriving late in the evening, it's a very dark place with a small road down to the property. There was a dog that came running and barking at the car and not really a lot of space to park the car. The 'deluxe' room is not very luxurious, it's a rather basic, small room for two adults with a sofa bed (clothes and stuff in the storage underneath), some old closets and a small desk. The shower has a very narrow place to stand. The balcony is not adjacent to the room, you have to step out to get to the balcony.
The host is very friendly and offers drinks and food, even for the next day. A lot of cats and a super friendly dog to pet! The bathroom is clean. I think the view is great, unfortunately we arrived late in the evening when it was dark and it was raining the next morning so we didn't get to enjoy it.
