Entropy is a property of a distribution, but since math does sometimes get applied, we also attach distributions to things (eg. the entropy of a random number generator, the entropy of a gas...). Then when we talk about the entropy of those things, those entropies are indeed subjective, because different subjects will attach different probability distributions to that system depending on their information about that system.
