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.).

GermanyThere is nothing really. If I could make a suggestion, the daughter of the house speaks English, if there were other people around speaking English as well this would be the icing on top of the cake 😉 my French is okayish though so I can’t complain, would just help for other audiences I think
It is one of the most beautiful Dar in whole of Tunisia. Owned by a lovely family. The decoration and house is spectacular with regard to every little detail. The breakfast is amazing and the location in the Medina of Monastir is very good.

SloveniaWe were excited about the pool but after arriving to the place we found out it is smaller than on the pictures and there was an interesting smell coming out of it. Also the jacuzzi wasn’t working.
We loved our kind host who helped us with any questions and tolerated our broken French. She prepared amazing and huge breakfast in the morning which was so delicious, especially the bread and the pastries. The last day we had to leave early so the host prepared us a snack package with fruits, yogurt, a muffin and a bottle of water and we really appreciated this gesture.

The property itself is beautiful. So well planned out and decorated. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to stay. The staff were so so friendly despite language barriers and were really helpful throughout our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable and well air conditioned. We loved the pool and it was really quiet during our stay too which made it feel really private. The breakfast was amazing. The hotel is in the medina which is quite busy and noisy but you can’t hear any of it from the hotel and overall the location is brilliant as it’s right in the centre of the town with lots of food and things to do near by. This is our fifth time in monastir and second time staying at dar benti. We would really recommend this place to other people and hope to come back soon!

A smart clean hotel where the owners take genuine pride in everything and were very professional. The attention to detail is astounding both in the decor food and service. Breakfast was awesome with lots on offer served in a beautiful dining area that looks like an interior design showroom. A peaceful place where you can just stay put and relax if you want... the pool is small but adequate and probably the only one in the medina! Excellent facilities... they even have a Hammam.

GermanyI was and still am so impressed by this beautiful house renovated with so much style and attention to detail. It feels like you stay in a palace and you are the princess ;). The breakfast is world class, the entire staff and Sarah gave us a warm welcome and great recommendations for our stay in Monastir. The rooms are beautiful, everything perfectly clean and smells so good. The pool - it's just a dream. My overall experience: I've never been (although I travel a lot) to such a beautiful place (that means the hotel) as this. Many thanks for everything.

United StatesThe hotel is at the end of an alley that taxis can’t drive down (only wide enough to walk). Since I was traveling alone, I felt a bit uncomfortable coming home after dark.
Dar Benti is amazing! The hotel is 9 rooms total, a combination of two houses that were made to be adjacent. The design is impeccable and is on par with high-end beach hotels. The pool is very private and quiet and I enjoyed hanging out there reading a book. Breakfast is amazing! The hotel is cash only so if you are coming from Europe it’s best to bring Euro for the room charge, or if you don’t have Euro you can get Dinar locally. Everyone working at the hotel was SO helpful!

Dar Benti is an extraordinary experience in all of Tunisia. The family have taken every attention to detail to restore the building and bring to life an elegant experience that Monastir can be so proud of. We were so delighted and appreciative the hosts and their above and beyond spirit to make us comfortable. We are anxious to come back again to Dar Benti.
