How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

For the money we paid, we were provided everything - nothing negative to say
The location was great, very close to a supermarket and an amazing beach! The host Marcel was very helpful and easier contactable through Whatsapp for any questions I had. The cleaner (forgot her name) was very nice and made sure our flat was always clean. Very enjoyable and seamless stay!

Great hotel. Great staff and owner and Mrs. Irena. Many thanks to Mrs. Irena and the owner for this wonderful time. Everything was wonderful. The location was great by the sea. Every day everything was clean, the rooms were cleaned, towels changed. We want to return to Crete to Gouves and to this hotel.

Everything was just fine! No complains!!!!
Very welcoming family. They did not mind that I arrived very late at night, they just let my key and I could enter my room and rest. Very clean and comfortable room with a kettle, a small fridge and an electric oven. I could easily cook. The lady host very nice, she kept the room very tidy. Very close to supermarket. 5 minutes walk to the beach. I strongly recommend it. Big thanks!

Our only only issue was that the room we had was very light at night and early in the morning, maybe it could benefit from darker and heavier curtains. Other than that everything was perfect!
The apartment is in a great location, very close to shops, restaurants and the beach. There is also a bus stop around a 7 minute walk away which has buses from the airport and to Herakleion and other areas. We rented a car from John and Mary rentals and drive around the East side of the island, and it was a great base for us! Everything was very clean and Maria was around to help if we needed it. She's also a very kind and welcoming lady!

There are a lot of hotels nearby and as the apartment is located next to the small street, there were often buses arriving for the guests and making a lot of noise, which could be heard all too well inside apartment. Other than that really no complains.
Really, really good value for money. Honestly, no complains about the room, pretty clean, spacious, had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was all right, towels were provided, the room was cleaned twice during our 7 nights stay. Wi-Fi could be better but wasn't terrible either. Great location, close to the coast, shops and restaurants. Lots of great beaches nearby. The gouves beach is pretty small and crowded, but there's much bigger and less crowded Aposelemis beach, just 10-15 minutes walk, that I would definitely recommend.

The shower curtain was very long - a bit strange and a possible trip hazard. All the windows except one had an optional 'black out' curtain. I would have liked a 'black out' curtain for this window too, to keep the room dark in the mornings.
Very clean and spacious. The excellent and new double glazing kept out any unwanted noise at night. The air conditioning (also new?) was quiet and effective. Very friendly hosts.

not a single bad thing that I can remember
Wonderful and helpful hosts, friendly atmosphere, quiet -- yet only a minut or two walking to reach the sea. After the late night flight, short taxi drive and check-in, there were some facility problems with the originally booked apartment. Staff reacted quickly and I was moved to the even better apartment on the first floor with a wonderful sea view. Everything went smoothly and I spent my (short) 7 day vacation with my expectations exceeded every day by the overall experience.
