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.).

FinlandThe hotel is on the outskirts of Makry Gialos and on the hillside, so for a person with mobility issues this might be hindrance. Some parts of the hotel are dated, but there has been major renovations in for example bathrooms, which were spanking new and beautiful.
We loved the staff in this hotel! There were raki and cake (and water) waiting for us in our room and upon arrival we were offered some juice by the lovely grandmother. The room was very clean and tidy. We happened to be here sadly during the wildfires in Ierapetra region so we maybe didn't get to enjoy the surroundings as much as we would have otherwise done due to the strong winds and the constant tracking of the fires, but we felt safe at the hotel.

BulgariaEverything was perfect.
This is a small white block of studios with a pool and a lovely elevated view of the village (Makry Gialos, Southern-East Crete). The studios are perfectly arranged and clean, the lady owner is very friendly and amusing. It is not impossible to reach the place on foot, climbing up the small road but generally you would need a car - because the village is several kilometers long parallel to the sea, and there are many other places to visit in this very beautiful area of Crete.

ItalyEverything was perfect! Despina and Nikos are the kindest hosts, we really felt at home during our stay. Our studio was equipped with everything we needed, it was clean and comfy. Also the pool is a great perk and the studio is close to the town centre, to the beach and all the facilities. We will come back for sure!

United KingdomOnly thing I say if you are old and not great at walking in heat it is up a hill from shops and beach so might not be good for you. But it was no problem for us as a family and it kept us fit the 10 min walk to and from the Beach.
The apartments where so clean and airy and nice modern bathroom. The family and Mother that run it are so kind and friendly and bring you fruit cake and can’t do enough to help you. We miss them Already after amazing 2 week stay. You can also use the pool at Fisherman’s Jacks just down the hill to the right with lovely 25meter pool and friendly Bar.

BelgiumExcellent studio with well-equipped kitchenette, good beds and shower, and nice swimming pool. Very friendly owners ! The location is somehow isolated (but this also makes it quiet), but is well sign-posted and therefore easy to find. It is only 200m from the beach although the walk is a bit dull.

Perfect stay from start to finish Despina Nikos and the whole family were so helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was spotless and had everything one could need, including some delicious homemade cake ! We had an amazing view of the mountains from our balcony and a window view of the pool area which was also immaculately clean and overlooking the sea. Parking on site was a plus. The place is around 10 minutes walk from the center of the town and 3 minutes to the nearest convience shop. 8 minute drive away is dragons beach which honestly, is one of the nicest beaches we have been to. The only thing was the configuration of the bathroom was slightly awkward however nothing major, especially considering the value for money Would definitely recommend !
