How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe location is epic - literally in the heart of the Old town. The room was clean and had good facilities. Would definitely stay again
There was a slight damp smell in the room but didn't affect the stay at all.

Verified reviewexcellent location, literally right in the heart of the own town only a couple of mins walking from the Pile Gate, and no stairs at all which is a big plus compared to other apartments where we have to take a lot of stairs. The room has everything we need, even beach towels were provided. We had self checkin and it was also super easy.
Shower was a bit too small

Verified reviewI absolutely loved the location within the Palace walls. It was so nice to be able to walk around in the morning or evening with very few people
I was in the first room so everyone going upstairs made it a bit noisy.

Verified reviewThis location is excellent for Dubrovnik. The room is on the ground floor with only three steps to negotiate in the alley. An important consideration in Dubrovnik Old Town which has many staircases. Highly recommend this location
A few more kitchen utensils such as a Toaster and a sharp knife would be useful.

Verified reviewLovely location in a quiet part of the Old Town of Dubrovnik. There was an electric hob for cooking and ample cutlery, dishes and pots and pans to cook a simple meal. Big television but only local stations accessible - would recommend a fire stick to access Netflix, Prime, etc. Great communication with the hosts. Clean and comfortable.

Verified reviewThe location is the best thing about this place. It is a few minutes walk from Pile Gate and you don’t have to go on any stairs at all. You get out of the door and there’s restaurants literally one step away and shops in a minute walk. It has everything you need for a short stay in Dubrovnik.
None I can think of.

Verified reviewLocation was amazing you felt like a local living in old town. The apartment had everything you need for a comfortable stay. You stepped out into the street with no stairs to worry about straight into the thick of life in Old Town - even though being on ground level we had no issues of noise from the street.
Nothing

Verified reviewThe location is so good, in the center of the old town, couple of mins walking to nice beaches
The room doesn’t have good ventilation, the plumbing system is smelly and the shower is leaking water that is hard to dry out, no where to dry your clothes & the bed wasn’t so comfortable

Verified reviewThe location was superb - couple of minutes from the main street. sights, supermarkets, takeaway food and restaurants and only 3 steps to reach it from Stradum! It was so easy to pop back during the day. The accomodation was really clean and comfortable and there was everything there we needed. Communication with the property manager by text was excellent from the start date of our holiday and throughout.
We did receive check in instructions via standard email but the booking company did not respond to requests for information between my booking and the start of our holiday. We found the directions a little difficult to follow in the dark and had to ask for help at a restaurant. There was a much easier route than the one in the check in instructions. this is direct from Stadum and crossing an intersection with anothre street where there is a church on the left. After passing the restaurant Spaghetti Toni on the left and climbing 3 stairs the apartment is on the left but there is no name plate. A small 7 appears on the wall to the right of the door. If you reach the large flight of steps you have gone too far.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent in the heart of old town. They were also very accommodating letting us leave our bags there until after midday after checking out. It was clean and tidy. We liked the window shutters to keep out the light for sleeping. The host was very helpful and friendly too. We also liked that the apartment was on ground floor so we didn’t have to carry our bags up stairs.
Kitchen didn’t have a hot water tap. We also thought there was going to be a washing machine there, listed as a facility on bookings.com but there wasn’t one.
