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):
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.
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.).

HungaryWe really liked the private, clean, quiet and mostly sandy mini-beach that is just next to the property (just next the the long common beach). No need for special shoes or anything, really great! We had two apartments and from bot of them a nice view of the sea. The terrace is shaded in the morning, it is really nice for a breakfast! Also everything is really near - shop, restaurant, bus stop, car rental etc. The pool is really convenient with kids, and absolutely clean!

United StatesMosquitoes- can’t be totally avoided but if recommend installing screens so guests can enjoy the balcony and open windows in the evenings. Another thing- would be helpful to have more countertops in the kitchenette as the space is tiny for meal prep.
Great location, a short walk to the beach, to the supermarket and to a few restaurants. Plus a nice pool.

United KingdomThe furniture / fixtures in the apartment could do with upgrading but no problem for length of stay. Would also recommend including air con in price of booking for ease.
Andreas was a very helpful and very friendly host. The pool area was very clean and well maintained with good furniture. The apartment roof terrace was a great area for eating, drinking, sunbathing- and the rooms were a good size. Short walk to restaurants, supermarket, beach and bus stop Would definitely recommend Almyra for a great chilled holiday!

Netherlands- the only thing is that it’s by a bit of a busy road so you hear quite a lot of traffic , but everything else was so nice it bothered me a lot less than it normally would have
+ I loved the apartment we got - we had our own rooftop with an amazing view on the sea and sunset 😍 + I loved the pool , very nice with stairs walking in and a good size. Also the whole area they really made nice with plenty of lounge chairs in the shade, a hammock and a cute swing sofa. + owner was very friendly + right behind the ocean 🌊! + perfectly located 10 min from Rethimno and close to visit nice beaches and lake kournas (tip!)

HungaryWe had a wonderful stay at Almyra Apartments! The pool area is fantastic, clean, the garden is beautiful. We had a sea view apartment with a large balcony. I really liked the peace and quiet, sometimes we were the only ones at the pool all day. There is also a small part of the beach with free sunbeds. The owner Andreas is a very nice person. We arrived late at night, but he was waiting for us. Thank you very much for everything Andreas.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Almyra Apartments. From the initial booking Andreas was welcoming, informative and helpful and this continued throughout our stay. He was there to greet us on arrival (even though our flight was late) and always on hand to answer any questions and check we were comfortable but not intrusive. The apartment was perfect for our needs, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool area is fantastic, clean, well maintained and a lovely little sanctuary providing plenty of sunbeds and seating and a much-needed shady areas too. The apartment is 2 minutes walk from the beach, supermarket, bakery, coffee shop and lots of traditional Tavernas. You can also get the bus into Rethymon (about 30 min journey but well worth it for shopping, culture, sightseeing and more restaurants and bars). Andreas organised all our transfers to and from the apartment and also a tour to Balos beach which was fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Almyra and would love to return again in the future.

DenmarkThere is not a lot going on in the village itself - apart from a few nice restaurants - so if you want the atmosphere of all the touristy things this is not really it. But, for relaxation, quiet, lazing by the pool - this is very nice. The apartment is basic, but so is the price. And it has everything needed.
The apartment was spacious for our family of five. We enjoyed the lovely swimmingpool area - a large pool, super clean, plenty of sunbeds in the shade as well as in the sun. We enjoyed our large private roof terrace with amazing sea views and amazing sunset views every evening. The a/c in each bedroom was very efficient. Andreas, our host, was super helpful, fast to answer all questions, everything went super smooth. Andreas was always accessible either in person or via chat. He recommended bakery and restaurants in close vicinity to the apartments - and he was very right in his recommendations. He also helped us organise a rental car, and for us to be able to drop it off at the ferry port in Rethymnon, as we were travelling on. It is a very quiet, slow, relaxing village, with just a few supermarkets and restaurants. The beach is sandy and rocky, the water is busy. On the beach, there is a beach bar with free sunbeds right next to the stairs from the property.

Czech RepublicThe location is great if you want to get away from the city. We had a private swimming pool, beach, and rooftop, everything was just amazing. However, if you want to experience city nightlife it's a bit inconvenient as Sfakaki is about 1 hour away from both Chania and Heraklion. Overall, we loved it. The host was accommodating, the cleaning lady would come over every few days to clean the house and change the towels. The tavern the host recommended was amazing so go check it out.

Andrea's is a great host, we were in a self catering apartment, clean adequate facilities to do our own cooking on two electric hob, small patio to sit out and enjoy a glass of local wine, what more do you need. Despite cooler weather we used the swimming pool, great to exercise in. Almyra Apartments are very good value, friendly staff, clean, and easy to get to most visitor attractions either by car or local bus. There are local tavernas exceptional food, local bakery great cakes, thank yo we had a wonderful time. We shall return sometime.

The bedroom has a double bed with two single sheets and two children's pillows. In Crete you can get a better accomodation for the same price.

United StatesVery basic. Bathroom and kitchen needs some deep cleaning. Also, kitchen needs some more utensils, glasses etc. Air conditioning was only available in the bedrooms, only with doors closed so the kitchen and sitting area were very hot. Pool was nice but closed by 7:30 pm. Beach is very close, but has tons of sea weeds.
Very nice building complex, well maintained. We arrived with extra person and the owner let her stay, as long as we manage. Appreciate that. Roof terrace was nice.
