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 reviewSuper friendly reception personel! Amazing situation with breakfast and dinner by the water. Great location on the island and nice prices for the rental bikes! Very good dinner and good breakfast! The island itself is amazing!
Unfortunately the AC in the Hotel Istra is aparently a central unit. This meant for us that the AC “worked” in the room but that we could not change the temperature or strengh of it and that our room was 24 degrees hot all the time…. When talking to the reception, no alternative solution was given as they were booked out. Just a mere “we are very sorry”… After the second time of asking, they gave us a fan which helped a bit but it is not acceptable to not have AC when it is 32 degrees outside and you pay this price! The “Parc view” was a view on a terrace for employees… No such thing as a parc in sight.

Verified reviewCalm and peaceful atmosphere, sea is cystal clear, beautiful nature for relaxing walks surrounded by animals. Hotel room was clean and decent.
Hotel, in general, could use a refurbishment. Food was ok, but overall it is average quality. Lack of labeling or explanation of the dishes could be problematic for people with dietary restrictions.

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, the food was good and location never disappoints.
Still getting thousand and one random emails/msgs before & after the stay, a nonsense time gap between the transfer to the island (12:30 fastest) and the check in (no way before 15:00), “a room away from stairs” was actually the first one next to, and the air conditioning (recuperation) just wasn’t strong enough to cool down a room on 3rd floor (was constantly 27,5-28 degrees in the room). Oh, and additional pity was the sea full of small jellyfish (non-harmful though)

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time in Brijuni, as we always do. The island never fails to impress us with its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. We truly appreciate the warm hospitality—the hotel staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable, well equipped, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
The bathroom floor could have been cleaner. Also, it seems that smoking is still allowed on the terrace during breakfast hours - it would be great if it was banned at least in one part.

Verified reviewHUGE room looking out onto the harbour. Very clean and comfortable, staff pleasant
Breakfast not great. Ideal for a 1-2 nights but with no shops or alternative food options it would be limiting despite the truly fabulous location

Verified reviewVery friendly employees, safe parking in Fazana
Rooms were in 3rd floor, with park view and through all night there was anyoing sound of generator or something like that. So ask for the room in the end of the building. The breakfast is very poor with free from food - not good for celiac (they only have gluten free bread) neither for diary free diet (no vegan cheese, only cow cheese...).
