Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

I really enjoyed my stay at this place, it’s located above the Kolimvari and so you can have great view on the sunrise, then have a friendly chat with your host, get real Greek coffee, cool down in the pool and then go out to enjoy the beauty of Crete.

United KingdomThis is the most relaxing place we stayed at on our visit. It is in a quiet and peaceful area with amazing views. Mary is the most kind and welcoming host, always available if needed but not imposing on your privacy. The pool was stunning as its all natural with no chemicals. The authentic cretan house has been beautifully renovated.We loved this place so much and hope to return. Thank you Mary!

United KingdomFor most people there would be absolutely nothing not to like but I have mobility issues so getting up the few stairs without a banister into the courtyard was a bit tricky. (But absolutely worth the effort). If staying again I would ask for the downstairs room that is next to the pool so that you only have to get up into the courtyard on arrival and when leaving the premises.
This was not just a stay, this was a whole wonderful experience of staying in a lovingly restored typical Cretan house in a typical Cretan village where the roads are too narrow to get a car down. Every part of the renovation has been sympathetically restored with high quality materials. It has charm in abundance!! Mary was so sweet and caring for our very best experience, even making us a breakfast on our last morning which was quite a surprise.

United StatesMy wife and I stayed at Sclopa The Laography Project on our honeymoon in mid-September 2024. The elegance, charm, historicity, and comfort of the boutique hotel’s rooms and common spaces astounded us to the point that my well-traveled wife remarked that it was the best stay of her life around a hotel or Airbnb. The rooms are thoughtfully stocked with beautiful plates and cutlery as well as a table for eating and a dedicated sink for cleaning up after meals. A very warm mother and her son own Sclopa. The mother lives on site and prepared us a delicious complementary breakfast from scratch on our last morning. Her son is an Athens-based archeologist who spared no expense or attention to detail in lovingly and painstakingly renovating the 300-year-old five-home building into a truly remarkable hotel. The son even published a book in Greek, English, and French that details the history of the property and explains all the typical design features of Cretan houses using examples from the exterior and the rooms. A nice bonus is the hotel’s accessibility to both Crete’s main highway and a solid town, both just a couple of minutes away. My wife and I already cannot wait to return for a second stay.

United KingdomNothing was wrong. Everything was excellent, which is quite rare.
Great place. It was perfect for our holidays. Stelios was an amazing host. The room was a great size, perfectly clean, and very comfortable. The pool was perfect for a relaxing evening swim after going to the amazing beaches around Hania all day. Location was excellent as you can reach the important beaches faster than staying in Hania and you can go to Hania for the evening quite easily.

RomaniaThe pillows and the bed were not that comfy and soft. But i guess it depends on the preferences the firmness of the mattress/pillows.
The property is a very beautiful architectural project, the house being old over 200 years. All the elements of the design were chosen very carefully, making an amazing and relaxing scenary. The pool area was one of the best things.

SwedenOur reservation is not defined by the reviews, that's why we don't do reviews! But here we have to! It is a hospitality that exceeds all expectations! We did not feel unwelcome or uncomfortable for a single moment. all were made with so much love and attention that nothing deprives the joy of the calmness of the relaxation of the beauty! We stayed 20 days in Crete, the hospitality we experienced here was nowhere to be found to such an extent, nor the balance of materials and the authentic traditional architecture and decoration! Extending our stay was an unexpected gift that we give to us! Our return is a promise to ourselves! Staying at Sclopa Laographico is an experience of a lifetime! Thank you Marie! Thanks for all !!
