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.).

CroatiaOne of the receptionists and the operations manager have made our stay pleasant after all, as they were the only ones who were able to solve all issues, with no restraint. Two very professional and skillful members of the staff, especially the receptionist. Excellent choice of foods within the hotel restaurant. Hallways are designed to be as private and as secluded as possible, with multiple entrances and exists. Overall, it is obvious that the entire building was designed to serve as a discreet and secluded stay.

CroatiaThere was some smell in the bathroom, majority of staff (except 1 lady at reception) is not welcoming and not aware to greet guests but would only respond to greeting, no smile on staff faces - this affects the overall feeling Personally, I did not like the surrounding area, so would not spend holiday there, however I would recommend it as a very good option if you want to see Pag island
Nice hotel, very good breakfast, great dinner, very comfy bed and linen, lovely indoor pool

UkraineThe location could've been better. On the one hand, it's close to the road, easily accessed by car, but on the other hand you must walk a while to reach the embankment and there's not always a sidewalk.
Both the exterior and interior make good impression, it's modern, stylish and cozy. The room was clean and had everything that may be needed. The breakfast was very good, wide variety and all fresh.

CroatiaIt’s difficult to find negative aspects of our stay at Hotel Olea. I guess that, depending on your budget, the restaurant can be a bit pricey. And, even though for us the location was excellent (we were looking for a calm area, where we could feel like we were “away from everything”), I guess other guests can find it a bit isolated. It’s only a 15-minutes walk to the Novalja Beach, though. For me, the only truly disappointing aspect of the stay was the coffee you could get from the machine during breakfast. 😅 But even this was later compensated by the very good latte macchiato I got at the hotel’s bar 👍🏼
We chose Hotel Olea for a weekend getaway on the Pag island. Hotel Olea’s location and facilities were perfect for this. The room was clean and comfortable, and we loved the architecture and interior design of the hotel. The ample windows throughout the property provided us with amazing views over Novalja, the surrounding area and the Velebit mountain range. We were especially looking forward to using the spa, and we were not disappointed. The Finnish sauna was on point and the relaxation area next to it was very cosy and inviting. The hotel is pet-friendly and the staff made sure our dog felt welcomed and comfortable. We had freedom to take her almost anywhere within the property (pools and spa areas obviously excluded). The breakfast in the hotel was excellent. 👌🏼 On top of this, we also had a couple of late lunches/early dinners in the hotel’s restaurant and the food was great! 😊 Finally, the staff was extremely friendly and we felt they could accommodate any of our requests.

A lot of choices for breakfast buffet. We got a free upgrade of room. They even provided me with a 3XL bathrobe which is a rare pleasure. Everything is clean and personnel is very friendly.

HungaryNew, modern hotel, with spacious rooms, noise proof walls. The breakfast buffet was excetptional, as well as the staff at the food&bev dep. They remembered that my brother had gluten allergy . . Everything was perfect. We stayed at a pretty off season period, though the hotel was full. Novalja is small but a beauty, walking distance everything. The whole island was a chill and relaxing destination at Easter.
