How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was truly magical! Staying in this cozy cottage exceeded all expectations. The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful people, always ready to assist and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The house is located in a beautiful area surrounded by nature, peace, and quiet. I especially loved the fireplace — everything was perfectly prepared for lighting it, and the evenings by the fire were wonderfully cozy. Thank you so much for your hospitality and care! We’re leaving with the warmest impressions!
Thank you again for everything! You are always welcome!

Verified reviewThis place is a 10+. The house is beautiful and has everything what you can think of. The location is exceptional, as above in the hill you have wonderful views and it is super quiet. It is hosted by a son and mother. With the son we had very good communication in English on whatsapp. The mother was present and although not speaking English, she was very helpful and cooks great local homemade food. Absolutely recommended for a great stay.
There was nothing to dislike. It was only a bit further from Zjablak that we thought, however it was totally not an issue as the location was very beautiful and peaceful.
You are always welcome! Thank you again for everything!

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this lovely house! Everything we needed was available, and we truly felt at home. We enjoyed two amazing breakfasts and a delicious dinner, all lovingly prepared by the host’s mother. The hospitality was outstanding — we were warmly welcomed and taken care of in every way. If we come back to Montenegro, we will definitely stay here again, and we would happily recommend this place and the homemade meals to our friends and family.
You are always welcome! Thank you very much!

Verified reviewThe location, and view, is stunning here. We loved the peace and quiet, sitting on the balcony and being surrounded by nature. The cabin has plenty of space, with a sitting room and kitchen equipped with everything you need for a short stay. The owners left us some welcome wine and beer too, as well as some hand picked plums when we left - so sweet! The bed was super comfortable and you also have an upstairs living room too with an amazing view. Nebojsa checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was ok, and gave us some great recommendations of places to see. We'd personally recommend doing packrafting with Durmitor adventure to explore the Tara river canyon on the water, and visit the black lake too!
It would've been great to receive the tip on how to drive to the villas as when we first got there Google maps took us a much more difficult way - which was a bit scary. Nebojsa did tell us a better way to drive there after we'd arrived which was much better!
You are always welcome! Thank you very much!

Verified reviewWe had such a wonderful stay! The host was very welcoming and made us feel at home right away. The place itself is super nice, spotlessly clean, and very cozy. The location is great too – a little bit outside of the city, which makes it quiet and perfect for stargazing at night. There’s also a beautiful view of the river and the bridge. A special mention goes to the host’s mother, who was incredibly kind and prepared us a delicious homemade breakfast. Everything was fresh and so tasty! We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to come back.
The only small downsides were that the bathroom didn’t have a shower curtain, which made things a bit messy with water splashing around – adding one would make a big difference. Also, since the house is built from natural wood, it can get a little creaky at night if more people are moving around, so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. These are really just minor things and didn’t affect our overall stay at all. It’s simply a suggestion to make an already wonderful place even better.
You are always welcome! Thank you very much!

Verified reviewThe location is exquisite, and the cottage brand new and very comfortable. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering a delicious, traditional home-cooked meal on our first night.
With it being so new, there are a few things that we’re sure will be added over time - a shower curtain, for instance. But overall, a fantastic place to stay.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved this place. The views of the Tara bridge are stunning. The hosts were the most thoughtful you could ever wish to meet. Their Montenegrin homemade dinners and breakfast were delicious. The accommodation itself is perfect with the swings on the balcony a particular hit. We can not fault Etno Villas in any way and totally recommend it to anyone thinking of staying there.

Verified reviewa very nice house with good facilities and an outstanding view on the Tara bridge, very friendly host who helped us with everything, it was really excellent and we can just recommend the vacation home. The better way to the house is not on Google Maps, don't make the left turn, drive straight ahead. Both roads lead to the house, ask your host before your arrival.
You are always welcome! Thank you very much!

Verified reviewThe location overlooking the bridge and mountains is fantastic. The host is wonderful and will organize activities if you want. He also provided a list of scenic sights in the area The a frame house is charming. And the option of having meals prepared offers a really great opportunity to have some original Montenegro homestyle food. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery or if you wanting an adrenaline rush to try one of the zip lines going across the canyon. We will definitely return again
I have nothing negative to say. The only issue for me was having to go down the stairs at night if needing to use the toilet. I offer that as not a negative but to communicate that out to people who may have mobility issues.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, the owner, Nebojsa, was incredibly kind and welcoming, checking in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed. The thoughtful touches, like complimentary drinks, made our experience even more special. To top it all off, when we mentioned we got engaged during our stay, the owner generously gifted us a complimentary weekend, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture! The house itself was warm, cozy, and had everything we could possibly need. Plus, the view was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, memorable getaway.
