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):
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.).

United KingdomNothing to fault at all.
We were met by Tihomir when we arrived. He's very kind and funny! We enjoyed his homemade grappa in the garden and loved hanging out with all the little tortoises - there were babies too! And his cat Mimi is gorgeous and friendly. Wanted to kidnap her. The apartment is very nicely decorated - loved the styling, the view is amazing and the location is spot on.

This is a gem of a property right outside the gates. It comes with a kitchenette so we were able to make some small meals. There is a small supermarket within walking distance to the apartment. The apartment is actually spacious than it looks in the photos. The garden with the turtles is the cutest. The host is kind but not intrusive. The walk to the old town is not far, but steep but we loved it. We spilt our stay inside the old town and here as well. I should say we like this a little more better!

United KingdomLocated just outside the outer walls of Dubrovnik old town, 5-10 minute walk to get into the old town itself, depending on which entrance you took The owner is a really nice, thoughtful, informative guy and immediately makes you feel welcome upon arrival. The grounds are home to a number of free roaming tortoises which is a cute feature of this unique property

JapanMr. Tihomir, the owner, was very kind and gave us plenty of helpful tips for sightseeing. The accommodation is within walking distance of the Old Town, with especially easy access to the cable car station. Most notably, the view from the room is fantastic — you're sure to have a wonderful stay.

AustraliaLocation, views, and uniqueness of the property! Thr tortoises were also a lovely bonus and the cat Mimi!! Tihomir was very accommodating during our checkin and welcomed us in person with some grappa and a quick introduction to the area. Seriously, the view from the top floor was spectacular! 😍 The room even had toothpaste in case you've forgotten yours! Tihomir has thought of EVERYTHING!! The photos don't do it justice, to be honest!

United StatesMy only suggestion is to have a bottle of water in the fridge when your guests arrive (in the summer it gets soooo hot) it would be an amazing simple addition :). But honestly, everything was perfect, and I would go back tomorrow!
everything was phenomenal! Exceptional apartment, spacious, with everything you need in a fabulous location and very quiet. The view is amazing from the upstairs bedroom living room. There is everything you need in the place. The turtle garden is fantastic too, there are soo many and tiny babies too :). Highly recommend!

Amazing accomodation with cute little garden and best location just across from the old town. Lovely well equipped room perfect for a couple of days. Thiomen was so welcoming and shared the best places to go with us and we had a lovely little welcome drink too! He also let us store our luggage after we had checked out which was very generous.

Property is right next to the wall. Tihomir was a wonderful host who helped us with our bags, gave us a map and drink and even did our washing. There is a lovely garden full of turtles of all sizes and it is very relaxing to watch the turtles. The apartment has a coffee machine and is tastefully decorated .

Excellent location. I had a heavy luggage and I entered the accommodation from the “pick up taxi” location (near the local bus stop, before the zebra crossing). There were only few small steps, so it’s easier to carry the big luggage. The host was so nice and friendly. He gave us all necessary information about the city. Love the turtles. They were so cute and we couldn’t stop looking at them everyday. The apartment was not too big but it has everything that you need, even umbrellas, raincoats…

My husband and I absolutely loved Turtle Apartments. The location is a short walk to old town (although many stairs, but that’s Dubrovnik). Tihomir our host was so kind and helpful. I am pretty fussy about bed comfort and it was superb. 👍🏻 Exceptionally clean with every convenience imaginable including espresso machine. My favourite part is the lovely shaded green garden with tables and chairs and 20 or more sweet little turtles walking around 🐢. Would stay there again in a heartbeat 💗
