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 reviewExcellent staff, especially the director and the girl at the reception. We arrived at the hotel by taxi from Tivat for 70€, and left for 45€ and thanks to Ivana, who called a taxi for us, I advise you to choose a taxi, agreeing with the hotel reception. Thank you again for your responsiveness and care.

Verified reviewWe love this place and have been staying here the last 3 years. Ivana at the front desk was knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Also, the owner is a great guy and is there for anything you may need. My family and I enjoy being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, & shops. No car is needed.. I would definitely recommend this place.

Verified reviewVery good location, quet and secluded even though it is only steps away from the bustling centre and fortress, fair value for money. Room was spotless, change of towels every day. The maid was very nice and friendly.
One of the receptionists was not very friendly, wouldn't reply to me greeting her at entering or exiting the hotel. The mattress was not very comfy, no hair drier and no coffee machine or kettle in the room. It is a garni hotel and we did only pay for board (no bf as we like to eat late and at various restaurants, never liked any hotel foods) but not a 4 star by any means.

Verified reviewWe had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Butua Residence. The location is excellent—just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town and the beach, yet quiet enough to relax. The rooms were modern, spacious, and clean, with comfortable beds and a nice balcony view. The two ladies in the reception were polite and helpful, always ready to assist with directions or recommendations. Overall, it’s a great choice if you want to be close to the Old Town, restaurants, and the beach, while still enjoying a calm atmosphere. Definitely recommend for couples and families visiting Budva.

Verified reviewI appreciated the cleanliness and order of the hotel, and the location was excellent right next to the old town.
The room description said it had garden, mountain, city, and courtyard views, which clearly means there should be windows. The room I got had no windows or actual view, and the ceiling was very low and sloped because it was in the attic, making the space feel even more cramped. After several exhausting hours at the reception, we were only given a room at midnight, and it felt like they were doing us a big favor! An unacceptable attitude. At check-in, the receptionist kept repeating that I had booked the "cheapest room" instead of offering real solutions, which felt disrespectful. Only after this long wait in the reception we were I offered a alternative room in the hotel for an extra €50. After the woman in the reception keep saying in unrespectfull said there is no other room available "your problem". Though the alternative room was ok and get my expectations,in the morning the reception make sure we are leaving at the exact time. After my request for a refund was refused. Overall, poor room quality, unhelpful staff, and a lack of respect toward guests. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.

Verified reviewModern apartment with very nice balcony. In amongst all the other hotels. Close and easy walk to old town with its cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Beach also easy walking distance. Really lovely and helpful reception staff. Arranged our ongoing transport and other needs.
The first section of our part of the hotel required us to take our cases up stairs. The lovely receptionist asked if we needed help but there was no additional staff so she herself (a young woman) kindly assisted us. When reported we were missing a towel she offered to bring it to our room. Perhaps another staff member should be employed to assist with these ancillary matters. Doesn’t seem right a receptionist should deal with them.
Dear Ms. August, Thank you sincerely for the kind words. It was our pleasure to host you, you were both wonderful guests. We hope you will choose to stay with us again, Best regards, Reception Butua Residence

rarely write reviews, but my experience at this hotel was so bad that I feel compelled to warn others. From the moment I arrived, things went downhill. The receptionist was shockingly rude — no welcome, no friendliness, just impatience and an unwillingness to help with even the simplest questions. It immediately set a negative tone for my stay. The room itself was incredibly outdated. The furniture looked like it hadn’t been replaced or cared for in decades — old, worn-out chairs, stained carpets, and shabby decor. It felt more like a neglected motel than a proper hotel, especially considering the steep prices they charge. But the worst part of my stay was the terrifying incident in the middle of the night. Without any warning, police officers — fully armed — burst into my room and forcibly opened the door. It was absolutely horrifying and left me shaken and feeling completely unsafe. I was never given any explanation or apology, just left to deal with the trauma of that invasion of privacy. For what this hotel charges, I expected at least a basic level of professionalism, safety, and comfort. Instead, I got a rude receptionist, rundown facilities, and a nightmare scenario involving armed police. I strongly advise anyone considering this place to look elsewhere. This was one of the worst
