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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaI got stuck in the toilet (faulty lock) behind the reception area and the reception is not manned through the day so I was there for a while. Hopefully, that can be fixed easily. :)
A lovely small property with different room types. We chose a beachview room and it was very modern with a balcony overlooking the pool and then the beach beyond that. The bed was incredible and the room was very well appointed and spacious. Our friends had a different room which was less modern, but equally nice and spacious.

United StatesUnfortunately, there was an alarm that went off in the office, and I could hear it in my room. But this was an anomaly, and the staff tried to fix it.
ON the water, which is amazing. And I love the restaurant - the octopus appetizer on the dinner menu was so good, I went back for it. The staff is so very nice and accommodating. Love that there is parking. Gorgeous pool area.

GermanyNo negative subjects - all has been perfect.
This is a family managed Hotel. The people are extremely friendly and the service is perfect. Fantastic breakfast, lunch and also nice dinner under old trees with different choices right on the Beach. The quality of the food was also wonderful. The room has been newly designed last year and is very well equipped incl. refrigerator, good coffee machine and air conditioning. The hotel has also a swimming pool. We can recommend this hotel to everybody who wants to enjoy a great holiday in Crete.

IsraelI would have given 10/10, but I found it a bit peculiar that the capsules and soap in the room were not refilled, despite being cleaned daily. I would expect this from such a hotel. An ironing board (at least in the reception) would be useful as well.
Perhaps the best hotel I've been in for business. Less then 50 meters from the beach. Fantastic breakfast, served directly in front of the beach. The room is spacious, but not too much as to bother, and had everything I needed. Nespresso machine, safe, dishes and a small stove. Very clean.

United KingdomOnly one comment - need a shower curtain in room 5.
Lovely, family run hotel. Great location near restaurants, banks, supermarkets, bars but on the beach so peaceful and slightly away from the hustle and bustle. Great staff - friendly and always helpful and fun. Beach was beautiful. When we were there they were waiting for turtles to hatch. Very little litter and the waves were fun and not to big for kids. Rooms were lovely, bed comfy and a nice seating area out the back which adjoined the kids room. We had rooms 4 & 5, with our 3 teenagers in one and us in the other. Food was great, in fact we tried others but kept coming back to eating at Alkonides. Highly recommend - lovely at night with onshore breeze, seating under the trees looking out at the sunset. Magical, a real treat. Near Chania, turn right at the top of the road and bus stop is 50metres on opposite side of the road 9.5euros for 5 of us. Takes 30-40mins. Chania was lovely with lots of independent shops and beautiful port.

United Kingdomwe weren't there for the more commercial busy side of Platanias but you turn off the strip and down a little lane and its quiet and mellow.
Lovely rooms with terraces very close to the sandy beach which is good for swimming and gorgeous for sunset. The nicest family run medium size hotel in this busy but fairly chilled location. They staff were really great, friendly, helpful and very welcoming. We made our own breakfasts (our choice, the shops are close by) but ate dinner several times which was really good. The lounging area where you could order great espresso, beer, cocktail etc was very nice. Lovely to hang out right by the beach but be in the shade of the beautiful trees on comfy seats. there was parking for our hire car and you are convenient for lots of good gorge hikes and also Chania, Rethymno and the south cost is within reach.

United KingdomHad to pay to use sun beds on beach. Would of liked to have use of free beds if staying in property…or when buying food.
Had a fabulous stay at these apartments. We had a Superior Studio (Room 4), the decor was so lovely, with great attention to details. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need for a stay. Big comfortable bed with crisp white linen. Spacious, roomy and bright. Lovely big spa bath, I would have liked a stand up shower ( there was a shower head), but this would definitely not stop me returning or recommending. The family who own/run this hotel were really friendly and helpful. The restaurant is right on the beach, serving delicious food. In a great location, near to many bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Lovely pool area and bar. Clean throughout.

We stayed in Alkionides for 7 days and it was abolutely fantastic. The room unfortunately did not have sea view, but it was very clean and modern. Room service is doing cleaning and towel change at daily basis. We enjoyed ourselves having delicious breakfasts in a very cosy hotel restaurant, the owners are very friendly, they offer home-made orange jam, olive oil and domestic fruits, there are various dishes to choose. We highly recommend this place!
