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.).

United KingdomA very professional setup but slightly impersonal as there wasn’t often anyone on the front desk. Number to ring for help.

GreeceNothing ; everything was great
Jason was very friendly. He showed us to our room and chatted as we went . We were very impressed with the standard of the room and its facilities given we were only staying 1 night . The kitchenette was very well stocked although we only used the glasses and mugs . The full sized fridge was good quality and the bottle of cold water very welcome . The shower was top quality and lots of hot water and excellent pressure. For the money paid this was a great find and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending these studios and we would definitely stay here again if staying in Sougia .

United KingdomShower was a bit feeble but okay. Aircon worked well but a bit noisier than some. Neither of these minor gripes was a problem. If you park under the trees, though, your car will be covered in rather sticky berries!
Friendly welcome from Jason. Clean, modern room with comfortable beds (one double, one single) and a nice balcony. Set back from main road out of town but Sougia very quiet this early July so not a problem at all.

United KingdomA small thing, but a shelf or cage in the shower to hold gels, shampoos etc would be helpful. I found the bed a little firm and was glad I brought my own pillow, as I usually do.
Location was fine. I wanted a quiet room and the manager went out of his way to warn me that it might not be quiet (before I booked). I guess he was keen to avoid me being disappointed. I went ahead anyway and it was absolutely fine.

NetherlandsWe had a last minute one-night stay in Aretousa, to walk the Samaria Gorge. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations. Mirko is an amazing host, he was very welcoming and friendly. He helped us with our luggage and gave us many tips. The room was as clean as you can wish for. A plus is the very modern bathroom. Also, everything you need for having a drink or even cooking a small meal, was present in this room. We loved staying here. Unfortunately, the Samaria Gorge was closed due to the severe winds. Mirko contacted us the next day(after checking out) to tell us that it would be open the next day. Very helpfull, we are really grateful for staying here and strongly recommend it!
