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.).

GreeceTough to find it by car, there is a sign on the main (asphalt) road but when you enter the track road it is not clear where to turn (more than one choices).
Excellent amenities and facilities, one could mistake it for his own house. All together, a very cute room.

United KingdomOn the first morning there wasn't much hot water, but the owner sorted this out immediately and it was very good after that. There could perhaps have been one or two small bowls and another mug or two, as things felt a little minimal. A chopping board or bread board would also have been useful. The traditional desk and bench in the room is beautiful, but it does mean that clothes storage options aren't great - plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe, but no shelves and the drawers below were quite saggy and only one of them usable.
It was great being so close to the sea, but also having a lovely swimming pool which I used most days. The table and chairs outside the main door were a beautiful and lovely place to eat meals and also to work. The bed was comfortable, and the cooking facilities were fine. The two hotplates worked well (although not at same time as kettle, unsurprisingly) and the pans were good. Generous sized fridge. It was also very good to have a pleasant and friendly taverna very close by. The owner was very helpful in arranging scooter hire for us, with a lift to and from the hire place. And there are lots of interesting things to see in the area. I was a bit concerned that it would be too far from Palekastro without a car, but it was fine - an easy walk, and the bakery and supermarket are on the nearest edge of the town. Visiting Italos and Zakros by scooter and walking in the area was also very enjoyable, as well as seeing Rousolakos nearby.

United KingdomEverything was good.
The owner messaged me that we had room number 4 and that the door would be open on our arrival, which was the case. The property was very spacious on ground level with a patio area in the middle of olive trees. It is very quiet, which we liked. There is a pool and the pebbled beach (Kouremenos) is a few minutes walk away. On the beach is a large restaurant, which we didn’t use but looked very nice. Property was very clean and kitchenette equipped with everything you need. The owner came to say hello an hour after we arrived, had a chat and checked if there was anything we needed. Enough space to park our car. The closest town is Palekastron and is a 5 minute drive away for supermarket, stores and restaurants.

GermanyBlack fungy at walls, much of moths and moscitos, apparently extremly noisy, dirt in the pool. Kitchen situation completly unacceptable. Towells provided with dirt spots. Situation was known by the local manager but ignored. Even considering the price policy this standard is unacceptable. Travelling Greece since around twenty years, i‘ve never witnessed something like this (Appartement 5).
200 Meters distance to the beach.

GreeceYou had to turn onto a dirt road to get to the place and if not careful you hit the bottom of the car where the asphalt breaks off into the dirt road. The living room had no AC so it was very hot for the children who slept on the beds in there unless the balcony door was open. The cleaner came to change linens on our fifth day. The owner hadn't prepared the beds for the children on arrival (no sheets) although it was clearly stated in our booking arrangements. He apologised profusely. Two sunbeds were totally torn up and just abandoned by the pool. My oldest slipped on the muck of the pool shower tiles. The bottom of the pool had sand/dirt. Yellow stains lining the tiles along the pool water surface. There was a general deterioration of outdoor facilities. The tables and benches of the barbecue area were flimsy plywood that had swollen. The wifi and TV reception was not stable. The mattress of the queen bed sat upon the frame rather on the inside, and combined with the height, you got the feeling of falling off the sinking edge.
There was an AC in the bedroom. The bathroom was fine. The veranda was nice. There were no insects. Polite owner and cleaner. The kitchen equipment and utensils were adequate.
