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 reviewThe room was beautiful and so was the bathroom. The view overlooking the harbor was phenomenal. The windows kept the room quiet at night. We were right in the middle of everything- couldn’t have asked for a better location. The communication with the hotel was fantastic- photos showing exactly how to find it.
There were many steps to reach the hotel and then many more to get to the room. Be sure you can manage your luggage. They did come and help with one set of bags.

Verified reviewWe loved the location inside the palace. The sheets, towels and even the coffee spoons were etched with either a royal signature or emblem. Staying in the palace meant we were right amongst all the action inside the palace.
If we had to pick, it would be to have larger bed sheets.

Verified reviewThis was hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. This little hotel, and I mean little only has four rooms. The owner spared no expense at the design and style of the rooms. Incredible features in the room, furniture, and bathroom. And the location to everything in the fortress was perfect. The receptionist was outstanding with everything from getting you situated in your room to guiding you through the maze of the fortress. If you are planning to go to Split book at Riva Palace.
Only thing I would add are USB and USB-C ports to plug in your mobile devices. Buying the European AC/DC adapter is a pain.

Verified reviewStaff were very friendly.
If you like looking at historic brick walls and are as excited about them as the owner, then this is the place for you. However, if you just need a room to stay in without a view and don’t want to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs, you could definitely find somewhere else for much less that provides much better value for money. Thank you Booking.com for the compensation payment.
Dear guest. Obviusly you did not look well the pictures of your room on the Riva Palace Booking.com page when you made your 1 night reservation. Probably you looked all pictures on the main page of the Riva Palace and not the pictures connected only with your room. Your room number 3 has a view on the historic St.Domnius cathedral that is 1300 years old, and the famous Roman square Vestibul that is 1700 years old and is placed in front of the cathedral, and also near the west wall of the Ethnographic museum as part of Roman Emperor Residence. The pictures on our Booking page are completely accurate. It's incredible how you didn't recognize that you were in the 1700 years old Roman Diocletian's Palace. Bricks that you mention belongs to the Ethnographic museum that was in the 1700 years old history part of Residence of Roman Emperor Diocletian. This is something similar that you were counting bricks in the Colosseum in Rome. Please read a history facts about Diocletian’s Palace and maybe you can imagine where have you stayed when you were in Riva Palace. We advise you to study where you are going in the future before reservation. We don't think that we have harmed you at all, and we think that you were just trying to get your money back due to the some reason. We are sorry for this situation but obviusly you are very rare guest among all others that are very satisfied with Riva Palace. Booking.com without our permission pay you back 10% of your reservation and we hope that small amount that you get back will be enough for breakfast at airport. We wish you nice looking flight to your mother country.

Verified review10/10 stay - the location of the property is directly across from the cathedral with a multitude of restaurants at your doorstep! Simona was a brilliant host offered a great overview of the city and incredibly helpful.
I wouldn’t say I disliked anything - I would say if you struggle with steps the location of the property may not be ideal.

Verified reviewWhile the location is hard to find, the staff sent very helpful directions so we managed to locate it easily. The room was large and very comfortable. Location is amazing. Inside the wall and very near to the cellar.
All was good!
