How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay! The apartment was absolutely spotless and beautifully prepared, with so many thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, toiletries, and even cozy slippers. What truly made our experience special, though, was our host’s kindness, she went above and beyond to help my husband plan a surprise for my birthday, which made our trip unforgettable. We felt very welcomed and cared for throughout our stay, she even surprised us with yummy chocolate cake. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewThis was an absolute gem of a find in the heart of this beautiful Old Town. The location was superb and the host went above an beyond to help me and make me feel comfortable, from meeting me at the bus stop, helping me with my luggage and there was a beautiful platter of snacks in my room. She also then brought me a lovely piece of cake. The apartment was so clean, modern and well equipped. I was sad to leave this beautiful location.

Verified reviewThis was the best apartment we stayed at in Croatia. Vesna met us off the ferry and escorted us to our apartment which made for a very easy arrival. When we arrived, there was a charcuterie board and drinks for us. Vesna also made us cake the next day. Everything you needed was in the apartment including a dishwasher and a smart TV. It was so comfortable we did not go out as much as we have done in other European towns.
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewA wonderful apartment in the heart of the old town, right next to the Forum. The apartment is impeccably furnished—there was everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped. The cleanliness was flawless. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely selection of treats, and Vesna was always available to assist and offer helpful advice. The apartment is surrounded by many restaurants, all the main attractions are within walking distance, and the port with excursions to the nearby islands is close by. Although we experienced some rainy autumn weather during our stay, the apartment was cosy and warm, making our holiday enjoyable. Thank you, Vesna, for a wonderful holiday in Zadar!
