Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Gorgeous property, perfect location, and the staff are incredible! Nick and his wife run this hotel with the most amazing hospitality - they truly ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. We absolutely loved the breakfasts each morning with delicious homemade cakes and fresh, made to order eggs. The location itself is a very short walk from the town, restaurants, and the ferry port, which was very convenient. Finally, Zlatni Rat beach is about a 20-30 minute walk — very flat and scenic with tons of shops and places to get food, drinks.

The story of my stay at Villa Giardino Heritage Boutique Hotel in Bol begins not with the view or the history—but with a fragrance. Subtle yet distinct, it floated in the air the moment I arrived, a signature scent that seemed to belong only to this place. It was warm, elegant, and impossible to forget, as if the hotel itself was welcoming me with its own heartbeat. From there, everything unfolded like a page in a sunlit Mediterranean novel. The air carried sea breeze, the stone walls whispered centuries of stories, and every corner felt touched by care. My room was a private sanctuary—soft light spilling over crisp linens, thoughtful details in every direction, and a view that could quiet the busiest mind. Mornings were slow and golden. I’d wake to sunlight brushing the curtains, follow the gentle pull of that familiar scent down to breakfast. Each greeting from the team felt like the embrace of old friends. They didn’t just offer service—they offered a kind of care that made me feel part of the Villa Giardino story. Time seemed to pause there. Leaving was like closing the final chapter of a book I wasn’t ready to finish. Villa Giardino is not just a place to stay—it is a place to feel, to dream, and to remember.

Everything! Beautiful property with a lot of historical character and a lovely garden and terrace. The superior room is spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with homemade pastries and marmalade, fresh fruit , and eggs made to order served on the terrace. The location is also excellent—a couple of blocks from the center of Bol, and a 25-minute walk down a lovely promenade to Zlatni Rat beach. And Nick and Elena, the owners, are just wonderful people. This was a highlight of our trip to Croatia, and we were sorry we couldn’t stay longer!

United StatesIt was all wonderful.
Exceptionally beautiful and classy. Abundant and delicious breakfast in a lush garden. The manager, Nick, was so warm and kind. He was interesting to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in talking to us. The rest of the staff was very personable as well. It was my husbands birthday and the staff created the most delicious and beautiful cake for us with tiny bits of decorative fruits and chocolate.

CanadaThe shower is teeny tiny for those who are tall (my partner is 6'3 and he had some trouble). However, this is a heritage hotel so what do you expect? The building is old, and Nick did inform us that they are planning on remodelling the bathrooms.
Our stay was phenomenal! We arrived late by ferry and the after hours check-in was very smooth. Nick was very communicative and extremely friendly - he was truly what made this stay exceed our expectations. You can tell that he puts a lot of work into the property, he speaks to all guests as if they are his old friends, and his attention to every minor detail is truly spectacular. The breakfast was amazing, everything was so fresh and homemade, served with homemade honey and fig jam! The rooms are extremely clean, well put together, the grounds are beyond beautiful (so many places to just sit and relax) and lastly the location couldn't be better. It is a one minute walk down the street until you are on the main walkway by the water. We will recommend Villa Giardino to friends & family!

United StatesWe had such a wonderful stay at Villa Giardino! It is clear that Nick, Helena and the whole team think a lot about creating a comfortable, warm environment! We were greeted with homemade lemonade, which was a sweet touch. We even received a complimentary upgrade because we were on our honeymoon - this was such a thoughtful gesture, and we couldn’t have enjoyed the view from our window more! The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable - and we loved the communal spaces too. Lots of comfy outdoor furniture to sit in with a book, etc. Breakfast was delicious too, with cereal, yogurt, fruits, homemade cakes… and then made-to-order eggs, veggies, etc too! It really felt like a treat to stay at Villa Giardino!

United KingdomA small bar would have been nice however I completely understand that in a small hotel this is hard to justify.
Just a short walk from the port the hotel was centrally located. The last 100 metres is uphill. Nothing was too much trouble for Nick and the team. We were really impressed by the breakfast and friendly staff. We had a nice room and an amazing sleep due to peaceful location and high quality bedding.
