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 KingdomNothing really. Only a small point the towels although fresh and clean were really stiff. Did'nt see any staff other than when I checked in at any point during my stay,or another guest. Bar and restaurant not open or even set up. This did'nt bother me as I always eat out.
Very large room with private balcony. Very clean and everything I needed in the room, with a huge bed. Excellent value for money. I think everwhere was very recently painted. Bright, fresh room.

SerbiaBeach in front of hotel is ok, but not my type of beach.. I had a rental car, so why not use this :) I guess that one rooms are not so big if for example you have one kid (for three persons you get only one room) but if you want four person room you get two connected rooms which is great.
Location is ok, FANTASTIC view.. comfortable beds. We had two connected rooms with two balconies. At the time of my stay, it was pretty empty there.. Cleanliness is excellent and towels and sheets are changed regularly.

United KingdomNo faults. A suggestion would be to have a couple of large mugs and glasses in the bedrooms for guests to make drinks. We only found two small tea cups The shower room could possibly do with an up grade. The staff were very helpful but had very limited English. Maybe putting an information sheet in the rooms may help that problem.
Ideal location,lovely balcony with a sea view. Everything was informal and homely. The staff were helpful.Breakfast was simple Greek but delicious.

Great place in a fantastic quiet location. Crete Mare is almost at the far end of Plakias but is only a couple of minutes walk to the main street along the sea front. The room was lovely with a great view out over the sea and breakfast was excellent. We'd definitely stay here again.

United StatesThe wifi could perhaps be a little stronger.
I stayed at Crete Mare probably about 20 total nights between my visits to plakias in 2021 and 2022. The rooms are very clean, the showers are a little bigger than most in crete and have glass enclosures that prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet. The option for a queen bed is nice, especially because it’s an actual queen bed and not two doubles stacked next to each other. The bed was very comfortable. The service is super friendly. The location is nice, with a calm beach right in front cause the water is protected by rocks to slow the sometimes wind-blown sea. The view tops everything off though. Beautiful views from every room, and close enough to hear the ocean at night. I can’t speak for the breakfast, because I usually didn’t get up early enough for it, but the breakfast next-door at nikos on the rocks serves breakfast all day, and is very good. One other benefit is that nikos bar (next door) stays open later than most other bars in plakias (if your into that, which I was). Service at nikos is also excellent.

IrelandNothing to complain. Everything was perfect!
We just returned after 12 days stay at Creta Mare Hotel, what a fabulous place. The room was clean and comfortable and the view from balcony is amazing. Location is a very short walk to main restaurants round harbour and the large sandy beach. Ioana and Ana keep the hotel spotlessly clean and look after us very well. The location of this small hotel is just perfect. All rooms have sea view and the sea is just across the road. The hotel has sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach which are free for guests. Plakias is perfect for a relaxing holiday and the Creta Mare is in a beautiful peaceful location where you can even spend the day on the balcony if you wish just looking out to sea. We will certainly be back. Thank you Georgios, Ioana and Ana for our lovely stay at your beautiful hotel. 🙏🥰
