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.).

RomaniaThe rooms are a little bit old style, but it is not a problem if it doesn’t bother you.
It is located uphill so the views are incredible, you can see the sea from the balcony. The pool is very big and there is shade from the palm trees. The chambers are big and clean and the people are very welcoming. There is also a nice little beach at 10 minutes by car. We didn’t have breakfast as it starts at 8h30 but you can have this option if you want to.

It’s my 2nd stay at Areti and I can highly recommend it: the location over the bay is stunning and quiet, yet 15mins from Chania old town; the pool is amazing and the staff very friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a relaxing place, then this is it!

FinlandLoved everything.
The surroundings are beautiful, room spacious and clean. The family who runs the hotel is amazing, this place really feels like a home away from home. Food is so delicious greek home made food, snacks and salads. Wine and cocktails are top-notch. Somehow all the other guests seems to be nice too, everyone behaves well. If you want to enjoy in an authentic Cretan atmosphere, Areti is the place to be. Cant wait for our next visit, thank you Mary & the family.

United KingdomThe bed was a little hard so could’ve been comfier.
The place is amazing! The room was so spacious and had a large balcony with amazing views over the sea. The air con was very powerful. The area was really quiet and peaceful which was a lovely contrast to Chania. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the pool area was brilliant, such a large pool and plenty of really good quality sun beds. There’s the option to order food throughout the day which was always very delicious. The staff were also very friendly, they even gave us a free parasol to keep for the week for when we went to beaches, so thoughtful! 100% would recommend, the place completely exceeded our expectations and we were sad to leave.

FinlandThe other tourists and that has nothing to with this place but to those people. They didn't think about other guests at all. They went and put their towels early in the morning and reserved those few sunbeds all to them self. Towels sat there and these people went how they wanted out of the pool area. Middle aged people and behave like this. Hotel should not allow people to do this. Staff was very very friendly, only the lady, I think maybe the mother could be not so nice. Asked for taxi and she just gave the number to figure out ourself but we had problem since the taxi company claimed there are 2 hotels by same name in this area. There ain't. The daughter was nice and helped us with that. Man (son?) extremely nice.
Beautiful views from seaview rooms. Very nice and clean rooms. Would recommend and stay again. Specially great that this is a pet friendly hotel. Liked everything about it. Staff very friendly!
