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.).

SerbiaI recently had the pleasure of visiting Durungara Jovic in Bistrica, Petrovac na Mlavi, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the friendly staff. The location of Durungara Jovic is truly remarkable, nestled amidst the serene beauty of nature with breathtaking views of the Gornjak chine and the majestic Homolje mountains. Its proximity to monasteries like Gornjak and Vitovnica adds a spiritual dimension to the stay, making it perfect for those seeking both relaxation and cultural exploration. The cleanliness of the facilities was impeccable, reflecting a commitment to hygiene and comfort. As for the food, I was absolutely thrilled with the delicious meals served at Durungara Jovic. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the rich flavors of the region. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Durungara Jovic offers something for everyone. I highly recommend this hidden gem for its exceptional hospitality, stunning surroundings, and delectable cuisine. My only regret is not staying longer!

Location is kind a hard to find but host was very cooperative and helped us multiple times to find right path. Google navigation is not recommended !!! Host did waited us until 23h do provide us with dinner that should be around 21h. Even with multiple mishaps our stay was very pleasant. Breakfast was very good, Gibanica was perfect.

United StatesGetting to the property is a little mess, definitely don’t trust the navigation, just call the owner to give you instructions which I didn’t and it was my fault.
Very cute, rustic little cottage, warm and cozy. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and then breakfast next morning and all was super delicious but most importantly homemade. Would definitely come back and I strongly recommend this property.

The host was super friendly. We had an issue finding the place using Google maps, but he came with his car to guide us to the place. His mom cooked us some amazing traditional dishes for dinner and breakfast. This was an amazing experience for us, staying in a traditional Serbian house. The host was super helpful and tried to help us in any way. They even put an extra bed for us on request.

Serbia1. The images of the property are not accurate at all, they represent a house next door which we thought we were looking for, but instead, we were in an old cottage house that was poorly renovated and half run-down. From the images, you would say that the house is somewhere in nature, but actually, it is in a street (across the owner's house) which isn't shown on any pictures, so you don't have a feeling like you're on a remote house. 2. When we arrived, the room was not warm enough since it had AC turned on (the fireplace was not ignited) and we had to wait for the host to provide wood so we could warm up the place. 3. We didn't even meet the host himself and he didn't greet us at all, we had to call each time to get beverage and we didn't get seconds when we asked for. 4. In the description it says there is a fridge, we didn't have any. 5. The reservation price was 11,106din (approx. 95eur for 2 nights), but we were charged 150eurs I believe there are more accurate, more friendly and definitely more cozy/warmer accommodations for the price of 75eur per night.
We had breakfast and dinner while we stayed at the Durungara Jovic. The portions are large and the food itself is great.

GermanyI disliked polluted air due to the heating season in the village. In addition, instead of getting home made polenta that was advertised I’ve got instant one for the price of something special…
We liked the authentic look of the little house outside, somewhat also inside. The home maid cheese ‘pita’ was great.
