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.).

This is an ultimate place for relaxation and enjoying calm and beauty. The hosts, Maria and Theodoros are great and very warm. The location is excellent as it just outside Plakias and directly overlooking the Sea.

United StatesI enjoyed everything thoroughly!
The location was perfect, situated in a calm area with a mini beach literally 2 minutes away. The apartment size was ideal, but the absolute winner was the balcony, offering the opportunity to enjoy the views from sunrise to sunset, sunbathe, stargaze at clear night skies. Maria was the most caring host, available, responsive and thoughtful. It was very visible to us that Creta Spirit is the result of a labour of love. Would go back in a heartbeat

PolandKitchen equipment is sufficient but basic.
This place is uniquely located - it has stunning sea views, quiet atmosphere and a beautiful beach with good tavern near by. The only sounds in the bedroom are cicadas and the sea. The hosts, Maria and Theo are very helpful and do everything they can to fulfill your needs. We were most happy with our stay there and we would definitely come there again.

HungaryVery very clean. You mean really clean. They cleaned the room every day. The whol apartment is renovated and looks very great inside and outside. The air condition is also new. The room is very big with lot of space and desk and cupboard. From the balcony you have a direct full panorama to the see. You can watch the sky with starts. The place is very quite, there is no noise, the road that is close is very low traffic, especially at night, so you can only hear the see and nothing more. Absolutely good for rest and chill. We really liked this calm, that was the main reason for choosing this place for our vacation. Maria is very helpfully in every question at any time. She has a most social and friendly cat ever.

NetherlandsThat we had to leave.
Creta Spirit is situated between Plakias and Souda and within walking distance of beautiful bays and beaches. It is very quiet and peaceful. The studio has all the necessary facilities for a longer stay. Very clean and a beautiful view of the sea. On top of that the hosts Maria and Theodoros do everything they can to make you feel welcome. We would definitely stay again!

SpainCreta Spirit is a lovely place to stay for many reasons. The first reason is the vue: nothing stands between the balcony, which is big enough to allow eating on a practical table which has been placed there by María, the manageress, and the sea. No lights, no sound of car traffic, disturb the enchantment of watching the reflection of the moon while hearing the sound of the sea. The second reason is there’s plenty of space to move around. The room is very big and there is a sense of the seventies charm to it. The third reason is the immaculate cleanliness. The appartement was cleaned every day while we were away and bed linen, towels and soaps were changed every two days. The fourth reason is that nothing is forgotten to make one’s stay comfortable. Not only there’s air conditioning, there is also a big efficient ventilator and a hair dryer on top of decent kitchen facilities. The fifth reason is the bathroom: very useful furniture over the washbasin and a powerful shower. The sixth reason is parking space is enormous, just besides the property and one can benefit from the shade of the trees to cool the car. Last but not least is Maria and her husband Theodoros’s hospitality and kindness. Always keen to help and to know all needs are met. There are two lovely, friendly and easy to communicate people!

FinlandQuite basic rooms, no microwave owen. Creta Spirit is located in very peaceful area, but you definetely need a car (or use of taxi) to get to places, the are no street ligths and the walking can be tricky and hot to and back the Plakias Beach area. Also, personally, I would prefer a non-smoking environment when having a holiday at the place I stay.
Theodoros, Maria and Lampros -Creta Spirit hosts - are very very nice. No complaints. Creta Spirit is far away from noises, peaceful place. Air conditioning. A small beach nearby in walking distance, not crowded, wonderful water to swim. A very nice place if you like your stay to be peaceful and safe, also a good base to make trips from by car, excellent parking place.
