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 KingdomUnfortunately the evening meal in the restaurant wasn’t great. Limited menu, as only a few guests. It was cooked to order but seemed like frozen food reheated. We would have preferred that they recommended a local restaurant. Breakfast was very generous though. And it was nice to be able to sample different wines.
The property has been renovated to a high standard. Our suite was very comfortable and spacious. It is beautiful setting with great views all around. Breakfast was varied and generous. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United StatesThe Deluxe Suite (with jacuzzi) was too hot even with the AC going full blast. I would not book that room again if temperatures are in the 30s C.
It was an extremely unique place to stay, we loved it. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is a river for swimming at the bottom of the hill. Breakfast was fantastic as well.

United StatesThe breakfast was fabulous. The dining room is so nice with the view of the river. The food was wonderful and there was way more than we could all eat. My grandparents owned the castle and it was in the family until the recent sale and renovation. It was amazing to be in the castle and the small village of Vinica. I would love to return some day.

Me and my dog had the whole castle to ourselves. A bit spooky during full moon but mostly peaceful and simply perfect. The surroundings are tranquil and pretty with large windows overlooking the river. The castle is five minutes from the Croatian border and another five minutes to a surprisingly good pizza place. I loved every single minute I stayed in Vinica (especially the bath in the wooden bathtub- simply divine)

United Kingdomit was a shame that the air conditioning machine broke down in the room we had booked at the castle. It was very beautiful, a little warm without the aircon. The bed overlooked a complete wall of glass, straight down to the river and the woods. Absolutely stunning.The manager was brilliant though, and he put us straight into the Tower rooms with no hesitation. Of course all machines break down at some point! We could have quite happily stayed for another few nights!
The location is very good. It's only a mile from the border with Croatia, How easy is that. There is a garage just in front of Vinica Castle, so very easy to buy a vignette if you don't have one already. Vinica a lovely old restored castle. We stayed in the tower rooms, the bathroom was amazing. A wooden bath, with an array of bubble bath and salts, and a wooden sink, we have never seen anything like it. A lovely set of old beams into the eaves. A large and very comfortable bed. A huge TV in the sitting room, with a Chesterfield three piece leather suite. Drinks from the fridge available. A great breakfast as well the next morning, served by a lovely lady who kindly made us scrambled eggs for breakfast. An assortment of jams, honey, and slices of cheeses and meats available, plus a lovely array of muesli. Fresh coffee. Marvelous.

MaltaEverything was truly perfect!
What an amazing place! Super quality hotel with high quality wooden furniture and finishing. Even the bath tub and sink were made of wood. The beds were super comfortable. The castle was amazing with the medieval feel in a modern upgrade without losing the character of the place. Staff were very helpful and accomodating to all our requests. The view of the castle is amazing and is located in the border with Croatia. The location is ideal if you want to explore parts of croatia and slovenia at the same time. The breakfast was nicely prepared as well. We will surely return to this place! Highly recommended!
