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.).

United KingdomWe stayed in the spacious and immaculate top floor of a large recently built timber house. Comfy bed, great wifi, lots of outside space for parking and sitting. Large kitchen lounge area with cooking facilities and large wood burner with wood, though we didnt need this in October. 10 mins drive to good local eateries. Countryside setting. Try nearest Pizzeria 5 min drive or 16 lakes hotel for food.

United KingdomWhist the ranch is remote and well away from any traffic noise etc and very serene when emply, there was no escaping the noise until early hours from some other guests when the two appartments below were occupied by a large group. Also beware of walking too far up the access road as some properties have very aggressive dogs roaming loose..
Wonderful appartment, very spacious and well appointed. Clean, and comfortable with good views.. idyllic if you are there alone.

United StatesThere are 6 apartments and you get what you get. We had an upstairs one and it was lovely except for the light. Especially if you have a child, plan to be awake at sunrise because with the skylights and windows, it's so bright. The skylight also shined brightly on my husband's face each morning 🤣. The knives are awful if you're trying to cook. We also had to learn to change commercial toilet paper stacks and the soap dispenser ran out of soap 1 day in. That said, those are literally all of the downsides and we did love our visit.
It is beautiful! We loved walking the property, feeding the horses and playing with the sweetest dog in the world. Location to the park is good, takes about 15 min tiget to entrance 1 plus parking time. The place was really clean, too. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomNothing, we loved it all - if you are particular about showers (it didn't matter to us) it is a shower over a bath, as opposed to a cubicle. The WiFi is there, but not strong, which encourages all to sit in nature and enjoy this wonderful place.
We loved it here. Beautiful accommodation (we stayed on the top floor) The setting is incredible, complete peace, other than the buzzing of the bees on the lavender. Lovely host, and accompanied by the most adorable dog, Lou. We were all sad to leave.

United StatesThe shower was a bit odd .
It was so quiet and peaceful! The apt was spacious and clean. After a very long day of traveling, it was the perfect place to settle in to. We were given recommendations to a nearby restaurant that was also amazing. And the horses on the ranch that appeared at sunset were almost like a dream. It was the perfect place to start our Croatian vacation.

SpainONE OF THE BEST PLACES I EVER STAYED AT! The sorroundings are simply amazing, cats, horses, squirrels, a lot of flowers and intense vegetation makes this place something very special. Added to this, the interior of the house is almost all made out of wood, which makes you feel as if you were in a movie almost. 1000% recommended to anyone looking forward to relax and connect with nature 💙

Czech RepublicA lot of sounds/noise can be heard from the other appartment, fortunately they went to bed earlier than us :) Also some equipment needs be better maintained - missing screws, some screws not tightened, entry doors making weird sounds and not fitting tightly.
Amazing location, stunning views, horses, a lot of places to relax in the garden. Appartment was spacious and well equipped including fireplace in the living room. Owner is friendly, eveything went well. 5 minutes by car to nearest shop, 10 minutes to a bigger one, 15 minutes to the Entry #1 of Plitvice lakes.

We were there two nights and I wished we could have stayed longer. Our host, Blanka, was gracious and helpful. She brought us wood to start a fire in the stove, make great restaurant recommendations, and gave us a coupon for two free desserts. She was warm and friendly and made us feel at home.

GermanyThis doesn't relate to the property per se, but be aware that there is no Croatian mobile network reception; however, there is a Bosnian network that sometimes comes through. If you are from the EU and have mobile data roaming turned on, you might want to switch it off while at the property as it could be a very expensive endeavor if connected to a Bosnian network unknowingly.
Beautiful nature, the other guests were also very laid back and friendly. The owner/manager is a phonecall away. Very rustical ambient, perfect opportunity to set the smartphone aside and enjoy the day stress-free!
