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.).

United KingdomThe only let down was breakfast. The breakfast room is too small and cramped and it was difficult to get a table, with no staff to help, other than those preparing food. The breakfast buffet was a bit limited in range and quality. Overall, the quality of the breakfast offering diverged significantly from the quality of the hotel in other respects.
Lady on reception was lovely and check in was very smooth. Room was large and comfortable, with some nice extras in the bathroom. Bed was huge! Location is perfect with parking outside.

United KingdomThe pool area was small but absolutely fine, the only issue i had the sunbeds were very low down, as someone who is older i struggled to get up off them. alternatively they could put some garden chairs and tables out. My other issue was the shower in our room the shower door opened inwards and didn't leave much room to squeeze in and out of the shower if you are a littler on the plus size, the easiest solution to that would be to make them open outwards.
Good location close to everything. All the staff friendly, especially the barman unfortunately didn't get his name, but friendly and bringing us Ouzo shots.

United KingdomThe only slight negative was the breakfast which was a little limited - the yoghurt and honey are wonderful though - and the dining area was somewhat cramped. It would have been nice to have croissants on offer from the superb bakery in the village
Lovely small hotel with a very pleasant pool The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The rooms have air-conditioning which is essential. The village is very accessible from the hotel and is relatively unspoilt (few large hotels). It's a good location for touring around but a car is a must - the hotel has its own car park. We would stay here again if we return to this area of Crete.

FinlandWater pressure in the shower was poor. Maybe even a bit dangerous for small children - changes from cold to really hot in seconds. Perhaps the balcony picture in the presentation of the seaview room could be changed to correspond the real view (which is a way nicer😁). The present picture is taken from the roof top bar.
Perfect location next to the main village beaches. A short walk to the main restaurant area. Own private and free car park. Daisy cleaning. Nice pool in the garden. Peautiful beaches nearby (Spilies 4.5 km, Karavostasi (Bali) 11 km).

MaltaA lovely hotel like this deserves perhaps a more variety breakfast but it was alright for 3 days and the money we paid.
The room was clean and had a lovely view of the beach. The parking was very good. The staff was very helpful especially Alexandra who gave us a really warm welcome. The pool was clean and very good wifi all over the building. The location is walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and nearby beaches.

SwitzerlandThe bathroom smelled of pipes. The bathtub was not in a great state. I upgraded to the sea view room because it was supposed to have an extra-large double bed but it had twin beds pushed together. The sea could only be seen standing in the balcony - sitting down there were walls in the way. Regardless, it was a convenient and mostly comfortable stay (except for the smell).
The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located close to the beach and to restaurants. Parking in front of the hotel is very easy, they have plenty of space. The staff was very friendly. Good breakfast.

United KingdomThe room was a tad small for a double, but perfectly adequate and had all the facilities you need, especially the air-conditioning. We were a bit disappointed that there are no pool facilities such as a snack bar.
Very clean throughout, and the interior design of the reception and lobby area is finished to a high standard. The hotel is modern, has a lift and a lovely pool. The whole staff team were wonderful, could not do enough for us, always warm and welcoming. Breakfast was very good with lots of varying choices every morning, and ran until 11am which was great for when you didn't want to jump out of bed. The hotel is ideally located for the beach and the local amenities.

ItalyJust some minor points: the breakfast was just enough for a three star hotel and could be improved. Some problems with the furniture (the hinge of the fridge box door detached, not resolved despite the report), with the bedroom door (which at a certain point would no longer close, problem solved only after some insistence) or with the system conditioning (fixed immediately). Noisy bathroom vent.
The extreme kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and the location 50-100 m from the beach. Swimming pool a bit small but perfect for children.

It was very nice stay. Personnel was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and rather comfortable, with good air conditioning. Beach with sand is in 2 mins walk, there you can rent 2 sunbeds and umbrella for 7 euro a day, which is very cheap. Free parking is in the front of the hotel. Breakfast is rather modest, but contains all basic components. Yogurt is amazing! :) In the town there are a lot of good restaurants nearby the hotel. I would recommend to rent a car to be able to travel to other sights of the island. However there are some travel agencies in town that can offer you trips.

IcelandIt is a small town, I had read it but didn't realize how small :) It was fine for us as we enjoyed the piece and quiet and not as touristic as other places in Crete. The breakfast buffet is very small and wasn't really filled much if you were late BUT it was enough to start the day and you could give your kids something to start the day. The bathrooms need a little update.
The room was modern, bright and spacious. The hotel itself and rooms were exceptionally clean. The employees were all super friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is small and I thought that it wouldn't be enough BUT because the hotel is so close to a beach it was more than enough and there was almost no one there when we used it. And even if it was small the swimming pool area and the swimming pool itself was very nice. I loved the patio that was outside on the third floor. We had some drinks there, dinner and played cards and watched the sunset. I was surprised how little it was used as it was absolutely beautiful spot and nice to be in the morning and evenings. Small friendly little town
