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.).

United KingdomNothing at all. It’s a quirky house in a stunning location. Quiet, peaceful, restorative.
We went in July and the weather was amazing. Sat by the pool with our baby. The house has so much character and the town in amazing. It’s great to get away from the tourists in Croatia and be somewhere peaceful and picturesque.

United KingdomThe house renovation looks like it was done on a budget. The interior finish lacks attention to detail and is quite rough in places. The photos on Booking.com make the place look better than it is in real. The bathroom is on the ground floor, two floors below the bedroom. The internal staircase steps are very high and steep, at least one and a half or even double the height of normal stair steps. The swimming pool photo being the first image you see on Booking.com is misleading, as the pool is not attached to the back of the house, it’s somewhere else in the neighbourhood. The place is a bit overpriced for what you get.
This beautiful old house is in a good location in Motovun and has its own parking place down on the main road. It has an aesthetic that feels comfortable enough and relaxed. Many of the structural parts of the original old house are still visible and give the interior character. There is a little patio at the back, off the bedroom floor, which is nice for breakfast. The kitchen is well enough equipped. The bed is comfortable. The communication with the host was helpful and friendly, giving all the instructions necessary for easy self check-in.

United KingdomThe bathroom facilities were on the ground floor which meant going down the stairs during the night which isn't so good when you are older! The pool was "seasonal" and not open mid-May when we visited and the pool appeared to be off-site.
The villa is full of character, very rustic feel with stone walls and wooden beams. The location was perfect for visiting Motovun and the pricing was very reasonable. There was a parking space available which was very handy and the owner Goran was very friendly and charming. We had a peaceful one night stay.

CroatiaThe water heating tank is too small. Made showers really uncomfortable. I believe it’s better in the summer!
A truly charming stay! This beautiful old Istrian villa is full of character, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The stone walls, wooden beams, and peaceful surroundings made for a perfect escape. We loved relaxing in the space and enjoying. It’s clear the owners take great care of the place, everything was spotless and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic Istria!

SloveniaThere is nothing about this place that I didn't like.
I loved everything about this place. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The stone interior had a wonderful rustic and Istrian feel to it. The location is perfect for exploring Motovun and the surroundings, the free parking was also a welcome bonus. The host was very friendly and communicative. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

CanadaFolks may find the steep stairs a challenge if they have mobility issues. We were fine with this though.
The view was spectacular and the setting in a medieval town is amazing. We used this apartment as a base for exploring the northern Istrian region. It was perfect for our needs and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Goran was a great host as well and greeted us at the apartment to go over everything.

AustraliaLovely experience to stay in a 300 year old stone building, renovated into a cosy and comfortable holiday retreat. Everything one needs to self-cater was provided. A dedicated car park was 70m away. Location was perfect to explore Motovun and surrounding villages. Our host Goran was very generous (gave us complimentary wine, olive oil and home-made brandy) and helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation.

CanadaAbsolutely nothing could have made our stay better! We loved this house!
We absolutely loved staying in this apartment right in Old Town Motovun. As others have said, and as described clearly in the listing, the apartment is on three levels with the bathroom on the lowest. This did not negatively impact our enjoyment - the apartment is so unique and well appointed! The outdoor terrace is a wonderful place to enjoy coffee in the morning or wine in the afternoon! Goran met us at the spot to park our car and then invited us for a drink inside as he shared his story and the history of the apartment. The walk up the stairs/hill to the apartment was as expected and again, part of what we loved about this authentic place. Goran gave good suggestions as to where to eat (did not disappoint) and other towns we may wish to visit during our stay (again, did not disappoint). Thank you, Goran, for being such a gracious host and making our stay in Motovun top notch!
