Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomI loved the old, traditional, restored building. The owner was such a lovely, interesting woman. The location was perfect - next door to the Fortezza and also to restaurants, cafes, shops. The mattress was great.

GermanyWith better tools (e.g. knives, peeler) the kitchen could be upgraded considerably. Besides that we loved everything.
Another unexpected gem! It felt like such a privilege to be able to stay in that beautiful house full of bougainvilleas (my favourite!) over the owner's renowned ceramic atelier. Even though in November it can get a little bit chilly, due to all the wood (roof, windows, shutters, floor) the room has a very warm feeling to it. Yes, it is small and the kitchen is almost miniscule, but it's enough. You're not supposed to stay in all day anyway, but go out and explore equally beautiful Rethymno :-) For breakfast I recommend whipping something up in the kitchen and then take the food and the chairs outside in the sun. There is a small table outside. There is no parking lot of course, but (at least during off-season) it is possible to find a free parking space next to the fortress. Just ask the owner before you arrive.

On Arrival, we were offered the choice of two rooms. We chose the smaller one as it had a balcony. It included a well equipped kitchinette with a fridge. The location was perfect close to the fort in a quite street. The owner, Frosso, makes and sells her beautiful ceramics in the shop below. My suitcase was not big enough for all that I would have liked to buy! We stayed 2 nights but would liked it to have been longer

Many restaurants and supermarkt next door. Lovely host, who runs the pottery shop in the same building. Eventhough I arrived too early she was super flexible and gave me the key early. All in all definitly a place I would like to come back to!

New ZealandOnly small downside is the drain in the bathroom does sometimes have a slight smell, but that’s often unavoidable in older buildings - it did not detract from my lovely stay!
