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.).

Germanyeverything was fine!
Very warm and attentive hosts. Beautiful rooms with a breathtaking view over the bay. Fresh towels every other day, air-conditioned, clean, and very well maintained. A small staircase leads from the garden directly down to the beach in just 3 minutes. Located in the second row, making it quiet and relaxing. Amazing nice little Hotel.

United KingdomIt was in a beautiful quiet location. Spectacular views over the bay with sunset views. We enjoyed walking through the village to the beach even though it was quicker to access down the steps. The property had everything we needed. Great hosts, always willing to help and make our stay comfortable. Would recommend the bus into Chania town.

BelgiumNo need for a car here. I had one though, and the only thing I always was a little nervous about, was the narrow, steep driveway up from the hotel parking. But I managed, with a small not-so-good car.
I stayed alone in studio n°2 at kyria Eleni's place for 4 nights in May. It was the perfect little studio. Million dollar view of Almyrida's bay from the bed and the little balcony. Good quality material (bed, shower), very very clean, and not even a 5 minutes walk down the municipal stairs nextdoors to the beach. The most relaxing place. Restaurants in Almyrida 7' walking, restaurants in Plaka on the hill 20' walk.

BelgiumIt was a perfect stay for us. We were in love with the wonderful view of the bay. The surroundings are very quiet and peaceful as well. The apartment looks very stylish and modern and appears recently renovated. It was very clean and well equiped. We loved the balcony to enjoy the views. The hosts are very kind. There is a shortcut downs some stairs that takes you to the beach and town in only a few minutes.

GeorgiaEverything was great!
Amazing place with stunning views, just a 3-minute walk from a beautiful beach. The room is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. The area is calm and feels very safe—I had no concerns walking back to the apartment late at night. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. This will definitely be my top choice if I visit Almyrida again. Thank you!

RomaniaEverything was ok.
A wonderful place with kind and attentive hosts, very clean, equipped with everything you need. Safe for children. They also provided us with coffee capsules and cold water in the fridge, they were useful to us until we stocked up. The view from the balcony was wonderful. The nearby beach is sandy, with a smooth entrance and a sunbed area. Access to it is made either by going down some steps or on the main street. We felt good and we will come back.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony overlooking the sea. We loved the location - it was peaceful and usually all we could hear was the sound of the waves. Excellent, newly- fitted shower room with a very powerful shower. The small kitchen had everything we needed to make snacks ( we could have made full meals but preferred to visit the many excellent restaurants in the area). As you can see from the photos, the apartment is modern and has been stylishly designed to make the most of the space. The owners live on site and are friendly and helpful. We hope to return soon!

United KingdomBalconies a bit small but nothing could be done about that! I couldn't climb the steps to the beach as I'd twisted my ankle - but if you're fit it's a great way of getting fitter!
Great location and facilities. Everything perfect in the room, very comfortable bed, tiny but well equipped kitchen. We asked to move to a larger room as there were two of us and there was no problem with this. I've been twice and will go again! Fabulous views of sunset over the bay.

New ZealandOthers have mentioned the steep driveway so we were prepared for it. It was a little freaky the first time but we got used to it.
The property was exactly as reflected in the photos and description. The owners were warm end welcoming and the communication couldn’t be faulted. We loved that it was in a quiet area. We had a two bedroom apartment with a lovely balcony and views. It was a short walk from restaurants. We also utilised the kitchen and it has everything we needed. We appreciated the wee extras such as oil, salt and pepper.
