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 reviewKind staff, gave me a late check out and hotel was very quiet. Pool was nice, and I’m told the restaurant is good. Parked just outside for free, and the bed was super comfy. Great value for money and lovely views.
Jet bath was quite rusty and tired (didn’t want to risk using it) and the sauna was unfortunately broken the night I arrived, which was my main reason for going. Also it’s €18 to use it for 2 hours (w jacuzzi) as it’s a separate ‘relaxation zone’ far from the pool.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, lovely room, amazing, incredible, fantastic restaurant and super waiter! If you get the opportunity to eat here, do so! Ask for a table with a view and follow the chefs suggestions.
Everything was fine except the left side of the pull out sofa bed in the family room is like sleeping on open springs. Definitely need to be replaced. And beware the stairs!!

Verified reviewReally great and friendly staff team, very accommodating. The facilities were very exceptional, clean and neat. Great price considering what you get in the offer. Location is also really great, not too close to the seaside tourist crowd while still being under an hours drive away from the nearest beach.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located in the old town, and that is great. You have to pay sauna, but when you reserve it, the sauna is private, and that is also a great addition.
The breakfast could be better, with more options.

Verified reviewAbsolute gem of a place in such a great location. A very steep cobbled climb on a motorbike but the staff were amazing and let us park right by the restaurant. The room was spacious and clean, with a mini bar and air conditioning and was perfect for our needs. We also ate in the restaurant which was superb and the best spot we've eaten dinner in a long time!! Would highly recommend and would visit this hotel again.

Verified reviewAmazing breakfast. Fabulous staff. In particular, the reception was very accomodating and helpful and the waiter in the restaurant was a true professional. Food was also some of the best that we ate in Istria and significantly better than other places nearby.

Verified reviewIt is a very nice hotel, well equipped, in the old buildings in the centre of the beautiful town of Old Buzet. It has a great restaurant in the ground floor with really friendly and knowledgable waiters.
The breakfast was a bit underwhelming for such a high ranking hotel - the croissants were not fresh, coffee was from a machine and was not very good.

Verified reviewTop of the top! Quiet, private, beautiful place. Yummy breakfast. Very friendly staff. The parking space very very helpful (no need to enter the historical part of the town).
Ask for WiFi if needed - didn't work in one of the buildings but they were fixing it.

Verified reviewLocation is brilliant at the top of the hill overlooking the town and surrounding areas. It's a peaceful little town with a lovely restaurant attached where you can eat and soak in sunset with local schnapps at the edge of the cliff. The indoor pool has some great jets for bubbles and the staff are simple delightful. Loved it so much I stayed another night.
