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 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.).

NorwayDriving in Montenegro is like an amusement park, except it's for real. Posted speeds are more of a guide, people park in the most bizarre manner.
We liked everything. The hotel is definitely 5 star, but not snobby, very family like. The location is ideal if you want to get a feel for common people.

AustraliaEverything was good! As a general comment a one night stay is probably enough for visiting this area.
We had a lovely two night stay at Stara Carsija. It’s in a great spot steps away from the old town, the rooms were nice and comfortable and the food from the restaurant was great. We enjoyed the hamman treatment at the spa.

United KingdomThe hotel was located at the top of a hill so if you don’t like walking can be a pain but they do have a lift to the old town
The property was beautiful and in a great location The staff were lovely and very helpful They made suggestions on where to go and what to do as we were new to the country Alladin was a waiter who suggested that we go to a near by waterfall which was beautiful and a highlight of our trip. The hotel was alcohol free but we didn’t mind that too much and restaurant provided us with a tasty breakfast and quite a variety to choose from. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNoise staff at reception at night when trying to sleep talking loudly . I don't think they realise their conversations carry through the hotel rooms. Kitchen extractor fan noisy and smelly outside the balconies. Hard bed and pillows. Breakfast items not topped up when finished. Not real coffee at breakfast just pods. Breakfast egg station uses oil not butter for the scrambled eggs.
Beautiful hotel in a stunning setting. Very pleasant staff. Lovely decoration and a lovely big Bathroom with huge shower lovely decor . Fresh fruit in the room. Balcony had wonderful views of the Stari Bar. Close to great restaurants and bars. Breakfast has an egg station. Chocolates at bed time.

United KingdomThe service in the restaurant was very hit and miss. The first time we ate there, it was appalling. We waited 55mins with dirty plates in front of us, just wanting to order more drinks and desserts. We gave up and left- couldn't even get them to bring a bill over so we left assuming it'd be put on the room. The food was really good, as are the mocktails (alcohol-free hotel) so a couple of days later we ate there again but requested to sit on the terrace area and the service was perfect then! When we checked out, my boyfriend mentioned the service on the first night and he was told it was because we were late to our booking (which aside from the fact that wasn't true)- it makes no sense why that would have created that service. Didn't appreciate being lied to or told it was somehow our fault.
Beautiful hotel, pool and restaurant with lift access straight onto the main street- a great touch. Breakfast was decent and the food in the restaurant was excellent! Their ice cream is absolutely incredible- real shame they don't allow it by the pool. The room was ok, fairly small but a nice bathroom and delicious chocolates on the bed at night. The spa is really good, lovely relaxation room with great service in there and a lovely little indoor haven. The highlight of the stay was the Hammam by Ferhat. He was amazing- so good my boyfriend and I booked a massage for the next day. Very talented!

The hotel in a very exclusive location near Bar Old City, but offers a lot of privacy. Unlike the city centre here it is not crowded and you can relax and enjoy your holiday. The food is excellent in the restaurant and the staff is very friendly.

United KingdomWe had to move rooms twice. We’d booked a deluxe room with balcony. The first room was smaller than advertised and the balcony was intrusively overlooked by the restaurant. The second room was on the reception level and so loud that I had to ask the reception staff to quieten down at 11pm, and after sleeping very badly and being fully awoken by reception and guests at 6am, I again went out and asked to change rooms. We changed later that day to an upgraded pool suite which no longer had a balcony but was lovely and quiet. For a 5* hotel, breakfast was underwhelming and there were no waiters bringing coffee and the self service coffee machine was out of order, so we had to pay for coffee at the bar. Also the housekeeping wasn’t 5* standard - rubbish not removed from room, bed not remade properly.
The location, comfortable rooms, friendly and welcoming service, great food and views from the terrace restaurant, lovely relaxing pool and spa (great couples’ hammam experience). Magical views and atmosphere in Stari Bar. Staff were kind and accommodating when we needed to move rooms due to privacy issues and noise.

CroatiaUnderstanding how to reach the hotel can be challenging. Google maps will make some of worst U turns ever and you will lose experience
The hotel is absolutely beautiful, constructed on multiple levels, which makes it a bit of an adventure. You can never be quite sure where the restaurant is, where the rooms begin, or where the spa ends. It’s like a maze with multiple entry points, each leading you to a different experience. There are so many wonderful young people here, all striving to make your stay as pleasant as possible on every level. Their dedication to service is truly impressive, adding to the charm and unique atmosphere of the hotel.

United KingdomThere was no bus or transport to the beach and the hotel is quite far from the beach. Taxi is cheap but multiple trips do add up. but this is not a huge issue overall still think the hotel was a great experience and worth the money.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The language was very good and easy to communicate in English. the place was very clean and food at the hotel was great. facilities were amazing. I loved that the food was halal and one person in our group had several dietary requirements and staff tried their best to help.
