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 reviewBeautiful, family-run business with attention to detail, right above Georgioupoli in the hills but still close enough to the beach and the little town (5min drive). The view is amazing from the balcony over the mountains and a bit of the sea. The pool is the best place to relax, kept clean and tidy. The owners are really kind and humble Cretan people who give you the best tips for sightseeings around. The apartment is spacious and has all you need.I loved the frappe Dimitri was making for me every day. Everything is well taken care of. Would definitely return.
Just a few things to mention but overall, they do not take away from your positive experience here: The windows do not filter the noise from your neighbors, you hear them all the time since the balconies are seperated only with a metal frame (take earplugs if you are sensitive like me or talk to your neighbors:)) The a/c is not strong enough to cool down the whole apartment. The bathroom is quite small and the shower doesnt have a curtain and the water flows everywhere but this is quite common in Greece.

Verified reviewThe staff were excellent, Dnitris is a briant host and can not do enough to help you find your best holiday. With help and advice at all times, he knows the best beaches and locations. The Alkion is situated at the side of a hill that looks over the white mountains. Waking every day to the stunning view was 2nd to none. The rooms were really big and kept clean by the friendly staff. Great breakfast for 7 euro, you get spoiled and full to the brim. We had the pool to our selves for the 1st full day we spent at Alkion.

Verified reviewDimitri and family were great hosts. Alkion is situated in a wonderful hillside location. I really can't recommend Alkion highly enough, it is simply fabulous. You can find a choice of traditional eateries in nearby villages, a short 10 minute drive from the hotel. The swimming pool is child friendly

Verified reviewBeautiful setting, clean pool area and lush gardens. Smooth check-in from late arrival flight and good communication. Seeing eagles in the valley from the balcony!
I genuinely have no dislikes. Some may say it is far out of town but even without hire car it was a pleasant 35 min walk to town and beach then easily access to taxis for 7 euro to return in the dark.
