How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Bathroom was tiny, and rooms weren’t huge. Some building work in view from room, although you could still see the sea clearly.
Excellent breakfast, super friendly and very helpful staff, very clean rooms, comfy beds. Lovely roof terrace. Balcony with table, with sea views.

the property is located in a quiet part of town, just a few minutes walk from the port. the facilities are very nice, I love that a lot of effort was put into the interior design. be sure to visit the rooftop lounge, it is super cozy and you get an amazing view of Paleochora. The room was clean and comfortable and we also enjoyed the excellent breakfast with a variety of foods, fruits and fresh juices. The staff was truly amazing, and very helpful. We were given a warm welcome and received great tips for hiking routes. They went out of their way to get me an item back that I forgot, truly amazing service! i highly recommend this hotel and am looking forward to coming back!

I couldn't make any criticism.
Breakfast was very enjoyable, with a wide range of options. I found all aspects of our stay in Aris Hotel to be very satisfactory. There was a shower gel dispenser in the shower cubicle. Staff were very friendly and obliging.

I very much appreciated that the hotel provides free bicycles. Unfortunately they are not well looked after and most needed some maintenance so rising them was not as enjoyable as it can easily have been.
The included breakfast was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and most helpful. They also looked after most of our luggage while we visited Sougia for one night in the middle of our stay. The first room we had was excellent and had a great view while the hotel has very nice grounds that one can relax in.

We stayed there 3 nights. Hotel is modern and very lovely with so many details which make the stay comfortable and special (cozy benches in front of the hotel, garden, terrace on the roof with a hammock) We had room like apartment (doors through balcony) and it was comfortable. Room had enough space, nice bathroom and balcony with view on palm trees and also little view on sea in distance. Bed was really comfortable and everything was sparkling clean 10/10– cleaning staff is great and very kind, we also have good experience with staff at the reception. Free parking is near hotel. Self served beakfast was awesome, one of best ever, with many choices – few types of bread, homemade jam, butter, coffee, fresh orange juice, greek yogurt, eggs, cheese, fruit, vegetables, many different nuts. Location is also great, only 5 minutes walk from centre of Paleochoria but still on completely quiet place (no traffic, no loud places near). The closest beach is 2 min walk. I really want to come back someday.
