Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOnly one small negative, the shower - very small with just a curtain so water would go over the floor. I can see it's a space issue and I don't know if it's the same in all the rooms - it definitely wasn't a deal breaker and if I were ever to go back to Rethymnon I would stay here again!
An absolute gem of a Hotel! Spot on location - 2 minutes from the beach, 3 minutes to a beautiful marina and maybe a 5-10 minute walk to the old town - depending on your speed of course. It was spotlessly clean and I'm quite picky. The staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful. Very simply decorated room but with everything you need - a mini fridge, hairdryer, even an iron and ironing board. If you forget your charger they have some you can borrow. There are mini safes but there is a charge for them - I didn't bother as I didn't feel the need. Breakfast was a standard continental Greek breakfast - fruit, meats, cheese, eggs and pastries etc. You can squeeze your own orange juice and the good thing is that they serve til 10.30 so you can have a lie in - you are on holiday after all. Great for solo travellers.

HungaryHouse keepers were a little bit too loud in the morning. We get it that they have to clean the rooms daily but please don’t start it at 8-9 am when everyone is still sleeping
The staff were super friendly, the hotel is close to the beach, there are a few restaurants around and some markets too. The room was clean and very spacious even for one person.

United KingdomSmokers on the terrace but it's Greece so it's hard to avoid. The rooms are small but they are priced very well, comfortable, clean, well air conditioned and quiet. It's a very high budget standard and for a holiday where you don't spend much time in your room it's ideal.
Great breakfast, great location, excellent staff, very clean.

Fabulous modern hotel in the old town. In a perfect position and close to everything. The rooms are a great size, bed very comfortable, bathroom spacious. The room was quiet and hotel stipulates "quiet" times which is great, didn't have people coming back at all hours slamming doors( which has occured in 2 other hotels in the islands) If we returned to chania we would most definitely stay here again Thanks for a great stay

There is a good choice at breakfast which starts at 7.30 each day. The staff are very friendly and talk very good English.

PolandThe location of Astali Hotel is excellent, very close to the city center and the beach. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at Astali Hotel in Rethymno. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel before check-in, go on a trip, and when we returned, our belongings were already waiting for us in the room. The staff was always helpful and attentive. The location is perfect – very close to the beach, the city center, and plenty of great restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Rethymno.

United KingdomIt was a great experience and I could not identify any negatives
Breakfast was buffet style served between 7.30-10.30. Had a large array of fruit, yoghurt, breads, pastries, eggs, meats, Greek breakfast ingredients. Endless coffee, tea, water and you could sit as long as you liked. Very relaxed, very lovely What a lovely find! The whole experience centres on 5* staff and the family who own the hotel. Perfect location, perfect price and a casual (which requires hard work) feel so that you can settle wherever you fancy. Just perfect!

SerbiaThe best affordable hotel in Rethymno! Great location, wonderful staff, as we understood this is a lovely family business and they aproached our visit with love and dedication. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming! The breakfast was great with decent variety! Our room was cute and small, but really clean at all times, and bed was comfortable, it even has a speaker with a few stations! There is a free parking right down the street at the right side of the port. We really enjoyed the stay and we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel! We might return, too!
