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 reviewUnfortunately we did not like the hotel. The balcony was nice and had a nice view.
Unfortunately, our stay didn’t quite meet expectations. The room was quite outdated and in need of renovation. The beds were uncomfortable, and when we asked for extra pillows, we were told there were none available. The toilet and shower area was also very cramped. The pool did not feel well maintained, there was a green residue around the upper edges of the pool wall, making it look uninviting and not particularly clean. Additionally, the owner asked us not to enter the pool if we had sunscreen on, which felt like an odd request for a summer holiday destination. The beach in front of the hotel was also disappointing and not suitable for swimming or relaxing. Overall, the facilities felt tired. With some investment in maintenance, hospitality, and basic guest comfort (like providing extra pillows), the place could improve significantly. It would also be helpful if the hotel shared some real, up-to-date photos of the beach directly in front of the property so that future guests know what to realistically expect.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the condition of the rooms, comfort, pool maintenance, and beach access have been carefully noted. We take such feedback very seriously as it helps us understand where improvements are needed. However: - When you arrived you immediately asked us for 3 extra pillows. Immediately we offered you another two pillows. As a result you had 5 pillows inside the apartment. (for 2 persons). - The pool is cleaned every day! This mark around the upper walls side is made from a reaction of the sunlight and the pool liner. Here are some of the recent comments of our guests regarding the swimming pool maintenance. "La piscine est propre et tres agreable" "The pool is really convenient with kids, and absolutely clean!" "Die Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool ist einfach fantastisch" - You asked us for a second key and we provided to you. - You asked for everyday cleaning the apartment and we provided to you. The beach is natural and change due to weather conditions! However our photos are from May of 2025 and you can read the reviews of other guests for the beach ⛱️. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the balcony and its view ( you had an apartment with 2 balconies) one with garden view and the other one with partial sea view! The same apartment has received excellent reviews from other guests. Kind regards Almyra Apartments &Suites

Verified reviewThe toilet is not good: the shower has no hang, and it's not possible to throw the toilet paper in the water. This is not written in the apartment description. 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.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to kindly clarify that in Greece, and in many Mediterranean countries, the sewage systems are not designed to handle paper waste being flushed down the toilet. For this reason, it is standard practice to dispose of toilet paper in the bin provided next to the toilet. We understand that this may feel unusual to guests visiting from abroad, but it is an important measure to ensure the smooth operation of the facilities for everyone’s comfort. We always do our best to inform our guests about local practices, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Almyra Apartments & Suites

Verified reviewWe 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!
Thank you very much Mr Viktor for your warm feedback! see you again in the future!! Andreas

Verified reviewGreat location, a short walk to the beach, to the supermarket and to a few restaurants. Plus a nice pool.
Mosquitoes- 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.
Thank you very much for your constructive review. We will be very happy to host you again in the future!

Verified reviewAndreas 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!
The 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.

Verified review+ 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!)
- 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
Thank you 😊 But you really can't have it all! Most of our guests see the positive side of our location! + easy access to the highway with your car. + strategic place just in the middle of the island if you want to travel east or west. + bus stop just outside of Almyra Apartments entrance. See you again soon! best regards Andreas

Mosquitoes, but this was not Almyra's fault, I believe all the similar accommodations in the area will have the same issue. Bathroom was okay, but can be improved.

Verified reviewVery 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.
Very 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.
Dear Sir, This is totally unfair for us.. - You "appreciate that" you broke our policy and rules and just inform me at the time of check in that an extra person is with you?! Do you understand that if we wanted we just could not accept your booking, and then you had to find another place to stay and in the late july days? and you give a score 5 for staff? - Our score for cleaning is 9,2 and are you talking about cleaning when you destroyed 3 towels with suncream and dirt? - we provided you with an extra fan for the kitchen area just to be more comfortable but you forgot to mention. Simply, these attitudes lead me to be exclusively as entrepreneur and not to act contrary to my interest.
