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 reviewLovely property, hosts were very friendly and helpful. Views from balcony were phenomenal
Would definitely recommend having your own transport for this location, as two active young people, we struggled to make it to the accommodation by foot & it often difficult to get taxis for the appropriate price
We are glad that you were our guests. You should have told us that you had a problem with the taxi, so that we could solve that problem. You didn't tell us anything. We wish you all the best.

Verified reviewEverything was great! The studio was spotless, and the view was absolutely incredible, you could never get enough of it, no matter the time of day. Having a car is essential, as the property is located up on the heights above Budva. The host was very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewIncredible views and really friendly, helpful staff.
Our room wasn’t fantastic - very basic. Smelt a little strange and the toilet was broken as it leaked every time we flushed it. Be prepared for an incredibly steep hill to get up to it which can be tricky in the heat.

Verified reviewThe view from this property is incredible. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Clean and spacious room/ balcony. Don’t underestimate the walk up the hill though - we did it with our hold luggage and were on the verge of calling the Red Cross! We were aware of this beforehand though and were happy for the trade off for the view and peace away from the bustle. Ask for taxi numbers ahead and you can WhatsApp one up from the town centre for €5. DO NOT just get a taxi from the street (or airport) or you will get ripped off
There were no curtains in our room and it gets light very early. Generators running outside meant we couldn’t open the windows either. So unfortunately we slept quite badly throughout our stay

Verified reviewThe location is definitely very close to the centre of Budva, but there is a steep climb to get to the accommodation, so I would advise anyone who is not very fit to come here by car. Otherwise, the view is stunning, the place is very beautiful and the owners are very kind and friendly!

Verified reviewI would recommend Villa Kalina just for the view from the balcony only
The access to the property is extremely diffcult by car or taxis. Noisy in the evenings, family parties etc. Accessibility to the property very difficult. Cost of taxis geneally expensive 20 euro each way up and down the mountain. Wr are in our seventies.
Access to the property is an asphalted road with a climb, it must be that climb because the villa is on a hill, but you can reach the old town of Budva in 15 minutes. And for the view to be enchanting, the building must be on an elevation/hill. I gave you the numbers of taxis that charge about 5 euros to the city. And you took another taxi. We are glad that you were our guests. I wish you all the best in your future life.

Verified reviewJust amazing from start to finish! Host booked a taxi on our behalf for when we arrived. All taken care of. Check in was easy and the room was lovely and clean, showed to our room by the owners very cute dog ❤️ the view… wow! Out of this world. Budva offers everything! It’s around a 15 min walk down the hill into Budva, we did walk back up most days, but the walk is steep and so we did require a taxi some days. The walk is so worth it! Best view we have ever had! This accommodation is well worth the money and we would definitely book again! Thank you for a lovely stay 🥰
Nothing! It was perfect!

Verified reviewSuperb location on the top of a hill, the balcony is very cozy with a great view of all of budva. the rooms in general are very well equipped and nice.
Not really a bad thing since the view makes it more than worth it. But it is on a very steep hill. We walked up it every time except for when arriving with our luggage.

Verified reviewThe view was stunning & Jelena and Andy🐾 were just lovely
The drive up to Villa Kalina was difficult with a steep climb & many hairpin bends. Impossible to walk up during the day with high temperatures, meaning you need to pack for the day and the night. To be fair, Jelena supplied taxi numbers.

Verified reviewThe villa is exceptional - the location, the view, the bedroom. Clean, has everything you need (a fridge, even a small stove if you like to cook), shower, clean towels. There is nothing we have missed during our stay! On our first day - weather was slightly stormy and windy. We already had several blankets in the bedroom, but the host has brought us one more just to be safe and warm. Such attentiveness and care - true Montenegrin hospitality ❤️
There is no such thing.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay here, our host was very helpful. View is great!
Even though it is close to the centre, it is impossible to walk here as the slopes are too steep. Great view comes with a price :) but taxi to/from budva center is around 3-5 Euro which is affordable .

Verified reviewWe chose the property for the amazing view and it was beautiful…..morning and night Yes the hill is big (mountain) it has to be for the view We managed to walk it a few times (not with shopping ) taxi numbers from Jelena were good but often busy at 5/6 when we wanted to be back hence we walked, easier if the sun was behind the hill ! We are fit and good walkers The room was well equipped and comfortable the balcony was a good size the building had a lovely aroma Nice quiet setting cold refreshments available especially after the walk 🥵 it was August The hosts were very helpful
