Review of Batana House

Fishing is the focus but multimedia is the catch at this new museum dedicated to the industry that made Rovinj famous. The museum's name refers to the batana, wooden fishing boats that still are in use and often moored in Rovinj's harbor. This is no collection of weathered wood and rusty anchors: Instead it is an interactive exhibition that uses film music, and sound to provide a virtual immersion into Rovinj's culture. Tip: Kids will love the hands-on experience making fishing nets.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
