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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CroatiaPerfection! A beautiful remodel, everything in pristine condition. The decor is beautiful, tasteful and modern. Spectacular sunset view from the infinity pool/bar. Fresh breakfast with many hot and cold options. The gym is amazing! Brand new Technogym treadmills (3) and Technogym free weights and other equipment. A large, separate group fitness space for private stretching, etc. Cold water, towels and apples provided. And access to a balcony overlooking the pool and sea from the gym! Room service was fast, delicious and reasonably priced. I didn’t use the butler pantry (small snack and beverage self-service sales on each floor) but love the concept and convenience. Room decor was beautiful and bathroom amenities were high quality. Love the eco-conscious slippers and laundry bag. I had a Collection Room - Sea View which was a side view of the bay with sliding doors that opened wide, but no balcony. It was on a small side, which was perfect for just me. I wish I had upgraded to a room with a full balcony and/or full sea view at the front of the building, as I’m sure they have a spectacular sunset view. Would stay again without hesitation!

SloveniaThe hotel is gorgeous, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. Never experienced such imaginative hospitality before! You're greeted by the porter, offered a drink, apples, and cookies at the reception. The room is available immediately. Stunning sea view! Cleanliness is top-notch! Wellness, massages, sauna are superb! Afternoon surprise from the housekeeper with water and cookies. In the afternoon, housekeepers prepare the bed before bedtime, draw the curtains, create a cozy atmosphere with lights in the room. DJ music in the evening. Unforgettable! If the rating could be higher than 10, it would be 20!

SloveniaSince we visited outside the main summer season the food choice in buffet breakfast and dinner was a little underwhelming
The staff, room and spa was very nice. the location is also lovely since it a little bit outside of the city with a lot of options for short walks.

SloveniaThe food could improve - more wholefood & healthy plant-based options needed! Better ingredients, smoothies, freshly squeezed juices & co for breakfast and buffet dinner to expensive for what they offer. But the food in restaurant Sophia has great food, so this is an exception!

SerbiaNothing to dislike!
Even though it was not a high season (February) for a beach hotel, everything was running smoothly. Service was wonderful, food was exquisite and facilities were fully operative apart from beach-related ones. It is finely designed in a mix of heritage and modern. Only a nice walk or a short ride away from the historical city of Pula, this hotel is situated on the green peninsula of Vrudella. It is surrounded by pine, olive, and cypress wood submerging into the sea. The view and the air have a healing power, I am convinced! I couldn't recommend this hotel more!

SloveniaThe only issu I had was the good night sleep. Two issues: 1. bed/matress was too hard for my back and shoulder (I sleep on the side), also for my husband, with no option to ger soft matress topper to make it more comfortable. Also, it was too sensitive to other person's movements. 2. The light switchers have tiny lighters turned on all the time so you can find it/them easily at night...but these make light at night, so I needed to cover all with something to make the room dark.
Bery kind personnel, excellent music in the hallways, bar...petfect volume, terrace with seaview, great plave for walks and christmass swim on Hawai beach. Very clean, water in the room, excellent illy espresso in the room.

SloveniaAs said in plus section, the hotel has some plusses and minuses in the same categories. Starting with location – it’s very distant from Pula and the connections, at least off season, aren’t very good. You’ll need a car to get around. The spa area – a cozy as it is, is simply too small for the size of the hotel. During the weekend it got very crowded, especially since the weather on Saturday afternoon was bad. For the swimming pool and jacuzzi the water could be a couple of degrees warmer. The room as beautiful and tasteful as it is, just has a strange layout. The bult in “box” that houses the bathroom and hall (with wardrobe), doesn’t allow for two adults to pass or having the doors open. The food; as excellent as the experience of served dining was on the first night, as lackluster was it on the remaining days when it was self-serving. The food was often just warm (not hot).
The hotel is beautiful; however it has some plusses and minuses in the same categories. The location is excellent near the beach and walkways. You have the aquarium and port in walking distance. The spa area is very modern and cozy. It’s inviting to spent time there. Everything is clean, well put together and the staff excellent. We had a panoramic sea view room – beautiful interior and view. The TV is Netflix ready and has streaming media/content built in. There is free parking on site. The food variety is good. On the first night we were only around 15 people in the hotel, so we had served dining. The food was worthy of a Michelin Restaurant – delicious!

New ZealandWe found the eating options rather limited and expensive. If you want something lighter or nibbles was hard to find. One evening we thought we'd share a pizza sitting on the terrace bar ( knowing that they made them in the restaurant ), but no. If we wanted that, we had to go to the buffet and pay full buffet price. As I said to the waitress, over $100 NZ dollars for a Pizza is ridiculous. Also we found the dinner Buffet overall rather disappointing. In saying that the buffet breakfast was fantastic.
We chose this location because it was close to Pula, but once we got there we didn't leave. Just soaked up the pool , sun and relaxation. Loved it and would go back again.
