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.).

AustraliaThe location was amazing! Our bedroom bridged Cardo Street so we could open up our windows and look straight out into old town and towards the cathedral and vestibule. Lying in bed taking in the atmosphere with the window open was amazing. Having said that, the room was quiet and peaceful as soon as we closed it - best of both worlds! The breakfast was a three course menu and absolutely delicious. The service was also great. The rooms were so clean and beautiful. Rituals products were divine. Cleaning staff were super quick and our room was always done perfectly by the time we arrived back. Finally, the hosts were brilliant and went above and beyond with helping with our luggage, booking us dinners (the best table in the house at Liones - chef’s kiss), recommending boat tours and giving general tips about where to go, what to see and the history of Split. Don’t hesitate - book this hotel as soon as you can! It’s was our favourite of the whole trip.

United StatesI can’t think of a thing.
We stayed at this lovely property for three nights and our experience was nothing short of fabulous. The location, service, history and attention to detail was simply over the top. Evita, Ivan and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The ease of communication from the very beginning of our stay, right up until we departed was easy and so much appreciated. We will certainly be back.

United KingdomAn excellent stay at a beautiful hotel. The staff were extremely attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Whether that was giving us recommendations for restaurants, assisting us with luggage or just supplying us with extra bottles of water - nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Perfect location right in the middle of the palace. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Everything was exceptional at Hotel Cardo. Ivan and his staff were amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed a perfect stay at the property. Our room and view was wonderful. overlooking the ancient cobblestoned walkway in the heart of the Diocletian's Palace. Hotel Cardo seemlessly retains the beauty and heritage of the Palace completed by modern amenities for our comfort. I would definitely recommend this property as the best in Split and look forward to visiting there again.
