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.).

HungaryWhere simple elegance and luxury meets. Villa Paulina was a breathtaking, beautiful place to getaway from everyday rush. Ana and Antonela were lovely hosts, they were always kind to us and welcomed our dog, Turbo as well. Very clean, modern and spacious rooms with beautiful view. Breakfast was very delicious.

RomaniaVilla Paulina is a true gem, set in an incredibly beautiful location with breathtaking views, right next to the sea. The apartment was perfect and very comfortable for our family of four – spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Daily cleaning kept everything impeccable. Breakfast was delicious,,with a wide selection to choose from every morning. Ana and the entire staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always smiling. Thank you ! The pool was wonderful, ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach. We genuinely hope we can return next year – this has been the best accommodation we've ever had in Brela, and one of the best overall. Highly recommended!

Austria-
Magnificent apartments: freshly renovated and perfectly equipped room, wonderful swimming pool, delightful terrace with a beautiful view of the green lawn and the sea, varied and delicious breakfast. The proximity to the beach and the center of Brela are some of the main advantages of this hotel. But the most important thing that makes it so special and distinguishes it from other accommodation facilities is the management's longing to maintain such a high level and the commitment of all employees to their work. Many thanks to everyone who makes a contribution, thanks to your care and friendliness we felt at home. Thanks to everyone who cleans the rooms and the territory, who prepares a delicious breakfast, who greets guests and takes care of their not always standard requests! Thank you for a sweet surprise during our visit - it was unexpected and very pleasant! We hope to spend our next holiday with you again.

United KingdomNothing to dislike
On our late arrival due to flight delays, Antonella had had to wait until late to welcome us. Despite it being several hours after her shift finished she was so warm and welcoming. She not only carried one of the heavy suitcases but also took the time to explain things about the apartment, surrounding area and even made time to share with us local delicious welcome drinks. She really is a first class asset to this hotel with such a lovely fun engaging manner. The apartment was not only spotlessly clean but furnished very tastefully and in a contemporary style. Very comfortable bed and pillows with plenty of wardrobe space. Great bathroom with super rain shower. Best of all was the view from our balcony overlooking the sea. We looked forward to breakfast every day lovingly prepared by Marella who takes such pride in every dish she puts together with great attention to detail. The variety on offer is quite incredible for a relatively small hotel and it's testament to Marella's skill and professionalism that she creates such a wonderful choice. The hotel is perfectly place in between Brela and Baska Voda with beaches 2 minutes or 20 minutes walk away . I've never known so many options so close. Great restaurants also close with our favourite being Feral which Antonella had recommended. I can understand why so many guests are repeat guests as the whole team make you feel like an old friend. Absolutely perfect.

United StatesI like everything!
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by a welcoming champagne bottle—a lovely touch that set the tone for our stay. The room itself was exceptionally comfortable, with a separate living area and a fully-equipped kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. The shower was top-notch, stocked with high-quality shampoos and toiletries. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning balcony view overlooking the pool and Adriatic Coastline—a breathtaking backdrop throughout our stay. The pool area was equally impressive, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The staff at Villa Paulina were incredibly attentive and accommodating. They went above and beyond, offering to prepare a takeaway breakfast for us on the day of our boat cruise, which was greatly appreciated. They also surpassed my expectations in assisting my friends in finding last minute accommodations and negotiating an amazing price. The location was charming, with easy access to the towns, restaurants, and beautiful beaches nearby.

AustriaThe location of Villa Paulina is great. It is possible to park the car directly at the property, the atmosphere at arrival was very welcoming and the hosts were showing us around. The room and in general the property was clean and well cared. The breakfast was great, it was possible to have it outside at the terrace. Our dog was welcome too. And also important to mention: the personnel is very helpful and friendly, it was outstanding compared to other holidays (even if we had great ones :-) ).

Villa Paulina was the perfect stopover on our Croatian coastline road trip! The location is picturesque with beautiful views and close to a lovely, long promenade that takes you past beautiful beaches and the symbol of Brela. The room was spotless and very comfortable. We also loved the steam room. Breakfast was a delicious buffet. We would have loved to stay longer!
