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 reviewRooms were close to the railway station and offered good value for money in high summer. The room was clean, quiet, comfortable and had air conditioning. Staff were friendly and apologetic about the two small issues we encountered.
Some of the bathroom fittings were loose/broken and the shower ran out of hot water. At night we noticed some very small bugs / creepy crawlies in the bathroom, but they were not a big problem.

Verified reviewAmazing food, attentive staff and good location to the train station. They are happy to rent bikes out to guests if you want to explore more of the city
Breakfast could maybe be a bit better but it might be just because I stayed there on a Sunday!

Verified reviewVery agreeable little hotel which doubles as a gourmet restaurant. It's well worth dining here; the dinner was not too expensive and absolutely delicious, one of the best meals I have had in Slovenia! Very charming and helpful chap on duty at reception, who also later waited attentively on me at dinner, and who efficiently arranged a taxi to take me to Grad Kromberk. Perfect location for the railway station and an easy walk into the town centre as well as to the fortress of Italian Gorizia. Efficient air conditioning a relief during a heat wave. Comfortable room.
Shower was a bit complicated with lots of knobs; hard to work out how to use it! Bed slightly awkwardly placed making it difficult to open and close the curtain.

Verified reviewThe service was wonderful. Same staff as in the restaurant downstairs where we had our best meal in Slovenia, here on our first night. The waiting staff were so knowledgeable and welcoming. The room was comfortable and close to the train station which was ideal.
We couldn't put our bikes inside somewhere safe, however, there was a terrace they could be kept on behind a secure gate, so we were happy with that.

Verified reviewGood location equidistant between the centres of Nova Gorica and Gorizia, 10-15 minute walk to either, similar walk to the monastery and bus station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant and bar on the ground floor - I’d definitely recommend eating there.
The armchair didn’t really fit in the space in my room and being by a desk a smaller desk type chair would make sense.

Verified reviewHotel booked due to having its own restaurant and its proximity to the station. We knew it was slightly out of town. However we didn't expect to find the hotel shut due to vacation. We were let in, after a phone call. Noone else (staff included ) was in the hotel all night. The exterior door was kept unlocked so we could go in and out. There was no food available. Our only option was to go into town during a rain storm.! We were not informed of this prior to our stay. The fact that Booking.com thinks this is acceptable means we will never book through them again.

Verified reviewI booked this room because it was very close to the station and had a restaurant, however it turned out not to be near the station I came into (although I had tried to find out if they were the same - Nova Gorica is in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy) and when I finally got there, having been told that someone was there from 11 am, there was no one. Also, the restaurant happened to be closed for the week and there wasn't anywhere nearby to eat.
Dear Jenny , I'm really sorry for your inconvenience, but as the restaurant was closed I texted you that you should call me half an hour before your early arrival and I didn't receive any call from you.Our staff were in the restaurant till 14.00 to clean rooms , you were just a call away from the early check in.There are plenty of restaurants in Nova Gorica (SLO) and Gorizia (I) within a 10 to 15 min walk from Madonca.However, I'm sorry for your bad experience and misunderstanding. I wish you a wonderful day and always welcome.

Verified reviewVery, very nice, helpful and attentive staff! Cozy rooms and great beds - never slept better. Close to the train station, but the center is still in walking distance. The restaurant was closed, so we had the place to ourselves - I have never been so undisturbed in a hotel. I will come again.
