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 reviewNice, new, and modern facilities, close to the sea, public parking lot nearby, administered by the same people as Hotel Carrubba, so staff is available all the time.
Noisy doors, our bed preference was not met, super difficult to find the location, as there is no specific address in booking.com.
Dears, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are pleased you appreciated the peaceful location by the sea, the modern facilities, and the convenient public parking managed by the same team as Hotel Carruba, ensuring staff availability. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the noisy doors and for not fulfilling your bed request. Also, we understand that finding the exact location can be challenging due to address information on booking.com, and we will work to improve this for future guests. Best regards, Marina

Verified reviewI searched for a hotel using filters on Booking, and based on the photos, it appeared to be a nice sea-view hotel room. However, the room I encountered upon arrival did not match what was shown on Booking. It was more like a guesthouse or an apartment-style place. There was a shared kitchen, no small fridge in the rooms, and the room didn’t have a private bathroom. It wasn’t sea-view as advertised. The bathroom was shared and not clean. The rooms were not cleaned daily. However, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. We would like to gently point out that the information you were surprised by - such as the lack of sea view and the shared bathroom - is clearly stated both in the room description and visible in the provided images. We do not market this units as a hotel rooms, but as part of our guesthouse offering, which reflects in its price and setup. We always aim to set accurate expectations and encourage guests to read descriptions carefully before booking to avoid misunderstandings. Still, we’re truly sorry if it didn’t align with what you had hoped for. Best regards, Marina

Verified reviewStayed here for a night before leaving Montenegro. Cute guesthouse with shared bathroom and kitchen. Right on the coast and nice little swimming area near by. Had meals at the hotel next door who own the guesthouse.
The rooms on the first floor don’t really have windows. The check-in was 4pm and check-out at 11am which wasn’t great especially as the cleaning requirements were very very limited. Not a lot of restaurants directly around.
Dear guest, Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at our charming guesthouse by the sea and appreciated the nearby swimming spot. We’re also glad you had a good experience dining at the neighboring hotel, which is part of our property. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Marina

The other occupants were very noisey and slamming doors throughout the night so a poor night sleep.

Verified reviewWe upgraded to the Guesthouse Zebra from the Giraffe so we could have a private bathroom in the room. This building looks brand new and is located one street back (2 minute walk) from the water and the Carrubba Hotel where you check in, have meals and drinks and swim. The hotel provides a delicious breakfast. The staff were fabulous, friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Check in is very easy and communication prior to arrival was great. The accommodation very relaxing and peaceful and just 20 minutes walk from Porto Montenegro. We loved our stay.
Nothing
Thank you Lynda for your detailed review! We hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Marina

Verified reviewThey don't have a kitchen, you share a bathroom with the workers who work in the restaurant. The prices are very high for a hostel, I don't know where they got the right to give it 4 stars. Frankly HORRIBLE. They don't deserve a single star
Dear Stefan, Thank you for staying with us. As per our official municipality commission left us a 4 stars for the categorization, with a lot of requests to fulfill, we think we deserved it with a lot of add on that only hotels have. As stated on our page we have shared kitchen and bathroom. At any point everybody is welcomed to book a room with us, even the staff working at some of our properties. We hope we will have a chance to welcome you to some of our hotels, apartments etc. with a better experience. Best regards, Giraffe administration
