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.).

NetherlandsHard to find anything, but 2 things: - breakfast was fine, but compared to the rest not outstanding - we booked a duo massage in the hotel nearby (they're partnering with: Aquila Porto), that was too expensive for what you get
The friendly staff, everyone (beach beds, reception, bar, restaurant, housekeeping, etc.) was so nice and made us feel very welcome. The location was lovely right next to the beach, but only 15mns walking distance to the old town. Everything was very clean. The rooms were big and comfortable, with a great view.

SpainNothing really
This place was the surprise of our 2 weeks trip in Greece. If there’s any hotel we wished we’ve stayed more it’s this. The staff, the breakfast, the quality of room (seaview) and facilities. The restaurant downstairs is great and probably one of the cheapest in town, which is weird given the quality. If you want a location by the beach with private beds, and away from the noise of the parties at night. This is the spot. It is 10-15 minutes walk to the old town, an easy and very safe walk through livable areas. But if this walk is too much and you’re after a stay in old town rather than a beach, maybe location is questionable. We’ll definitely be back. Rythimno impressed us a lot.

United KingdomI want to mention the location from the airport. Rethymno is a good 1hr 20 mins from Chania airport and as we booked independently, taxis were expensive. Hiring a car would be a better option, as you can then travel the island as this is so much to see/do. We also had two meals at the hotel restaurant and it was a tale of two halves. This has nothing to do with the service but the quality of the meals. The first meal was amazing, and the second was pretty poor. I had seafood linguine which had little seafood in it (some chopped frozen seafood sticks really!) When the linguine before had fresh prawns/mussels, and the bread given to us was so stale we couldn't even break into it. My partner's creamy chicken pasta was so dry too. We didn't say anything as it was our last evening and everything else had been great but the chef did not deliver that night. Apart from that small hitch, everything else was unreal and we would go back again.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing break in a wonderful boutique hotel by the sea in Crete. The hotel is brand new after a full renovation and is gorgeous. Rooms had everything you could want, beds were comfortable and balcony was massive. The whole room was spotlessly clean. The staff were wonderful too, particularly Georgia on reception & Michalis on the bar. Fantastic hospitality and we had some brilliant nights propped up at the bar. The pool/lounge area was really relaxing as was the little spa, I had a massage which was 10/10. Breakfast had a good variety and was always attended by helpful staff. Location is right on the beach, with amazing views from every room. Exclusive hotel guest loungers available on the clean beach, with waiter service if you fancied drinks/snacks whilst sunbathing. The sea was easy to get into and swim, although it was chilly in April! You could walk into Rethymno's old town which was superb, so many streets to wander around and tavernas to try. The fortezza is worth visiting as is Mili Gorge and Bali. We also highly recommend Italian Corner for a meal on a budget and Kandalous for Gyros! These are both a 5 minute walk behind the hotel. You wouldn't be disappointed staying here!
