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.).

IrelandVery small point, the free parking is the public on-street parking and we were off season so no problem finding a spot, it may be more difficult during the high season.
Excellent location on the sea front, in the heart of things. Very helpful and friendly staff - Barbara at reception in particular. Large rooms, great shower and very comfortable bed, luxurious setting. Also had an amazing massage from the spa services with Maria. Would highly recommend.

Everything!! This boutique hotel is absolutely amazing!! Right on the beach with very clear water.The rooms are spacious and very modern. The food is next level from breakfast to beachside lunches and delicious dinners . We were there 5 days and didn’t have any meal anywhere else. The staff are fantastic!! They made us feel more like family than just visitors. Dimitris and all the girls are beautiful young people . You would be crazy not to try this hotel.

By far and away the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The facilities, the staff, food & drinks; all absolutely faultless. For the standard of accommodation, and the services provided, the cost is very reasonable and my wife and I would return in a heartbeat.

Japan2 small suggestions for improvement. 1. The lighting in the room was a bit dim There could have been an option to turn up the lighting. 2. The omelets served at breakfast were, in my opinion, a bit over cooked. Everything else was great.
The room was stunning and the view was beautiful. Very comfortable to stay and staff really friendly. The beach facilities were very enjoyable too.

The room and amenities were fantastic and breakfast 'a la carta' is delightful, I can also recommend to have dinner in the Magma restaurant. I'm looking forward to come back again and I can recommend this place to stay during your time at Rethymnon, quality/price is excellent

SwitzerlandThe bed was for my liking a bit harder than I am used to. But that‘s really the only point I can mention. The rest was amazing and Rethymno and Dyo is for sure a good choice to stay.
The breakfast was amazing! The people are very very welcoming and nice! Dimitris (one of the employees) is very kind and helps the best way possible. In addition the cleaning ladies (Fami and Magda) also did a great job. They kept our room clean even though we brought home sand from the beach every day! The room was nice and spacious. We had about 10 minutes by foot until the start of the old town. Beach was just across the road with very nice cocktails! Velvet touch definitely a must try!:) you for sure won‘t regret staying here.

AustriaVery excellent hotel! So many breakfast options and also very vegetarian and vegan friendly. The beach is wonderful and super close to the hotel. Also very nice and friendly staff at the beach. Perfect to enjoy a cocktail at the wonderful beach. We also ate sometimes at the restaurant at night. Not so many vegetarian options, but still very good and very good cocktails. Supermarket is also just around the corner and you can walk to town and explore other restaurants. We loved our room with the rooftop terrace (and whirlpool :-) ), just perfect!

United KingdomEVERYTHING! This was our second stay here and it was even better than the first. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff work tirelessly to keep it that way. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. The addition of an Alexa was great to play music and a nespresso coffee machine was a lovely touch. The cocktails and meals are a must try in the Magma restaurant. We ended up eating there every night as the food was probably the best we have ever had. The staff are absolutely brilliant and can’t do enough for you. We especially like the comfortable complimentary sunbeds on the beach with fantastic service for drinks and food so you don’t have to lift a finger. We will definitely be returning here.

Lovely room with hot tub outside. Excellent service from all the staff, complementary water when at the private beach area using the sunbeds. Breakfast was excellent lots of choice, top quality and large portions. Allowed us to use facilities on departure day, with shower area to freshen up when departing late afternoon.
