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.).

The hotel was not very well marked and I drove past it a few times before I saw the sign. It has steep stairs, which is not a problem for me but could be for some. There was a refrigerator but it was very tiny. There were no hangers so I didn't get to unpack, although I am sure that if I had asked, I would have received them quickly. Location and helpfulness of host who greeted me made up for these small things. Parking is a problem in town.
The fellow who greeted me was very helpful and gave me a good introduction to the sites and restaurants in Split. He was very flexible about my arrival and departure times. It was easy to get to the main sites just by walking, and grocery stores and restaurants were nearby. The room was sparse but relatively clean (one coffee cup was stained), and plenty of hot water for the shower. It was enough for me, not luxury but workable. Netflix for guests was a plus on the rainy days when I could not go out into the city.

Absolutely nothing.
Perfect location, just outside the old town. Ante gave us a great welcome and gave us choice of rooms. Mini fridge had complimentary water, juice, fruit etc. Beach towels provided. Landing has a basket of umbrellas. Plenty of towels. Excellent shower. Comfortable bed. Everything was just perfect. So looking forward to returning to Split and staying at Villa Galla.

Ante was there to welcome me on arrival and was friendly, helped me with my bags, explained about the accommodation and places of interest in Split. The room was a good size and very clean. Great location, close to everything and easy to get around. Ante was also there to say goodbye and help with my bags on departure, which I really appreciated. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.Thank you.

The owner who communicated with me before arrival and greeted me at the hotel was incredibly friendly and welcoming, nice location to the old city, the refurbishment of the building has been done tastefully. I got a great last minute deal, Split hotels seem expensive on the whole so for me on this occasion, it was good value for money
