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 KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like. We visited at the end of May and the hotel was reasonably quiet. This meant that we found it easy to get a sunbed by the main pool each afternoon. I could see as the number of guests were increasing that guests versus sunbeds was going to be an issue and some people had started to place their towel on a sunbed very early in the morning!!!!!
The location of the hotel was great, an easy walk into Elounda. Felt very safe. The breakfast choice was amazing and all beautifully presented. The staff were very attentive, clearing plates etc. immediately. Our room was excellent, I had booked a room with its own private pool. The room was very big and airy. The pool was super with a view over the lagoon. The bed was very comfortable and the water always nice and hot in the shower. The towels were great quality.

Israelthe fact they've asked for 1 Euro for each additional Nespresso capsule after the second night, was odd. We also didn't like the fact you had to pay 5 EUROs for pool towels that return of course..
The staff was super friendly, from the reception staff to the breakfast & bar staff- especially Nikos! The room was really spacious on the ground floor and it had a bit of sea view as well. The location of the Hotel was great- very quiet area, yet few minutes drive to Elounda town.

ItalyNot sure I would have expected from such a premium hotel to have to pay 5€ for pool towels, it is actually the first time I see this and sad to see they have to put in place these security measures because people steal towels. It is a typical "all inclusive" kind of hotel (neither good nor bad per se - so I will be mentioning it both in + and - sections) so vibes were very different from the other family owned hotel we have been staying during the trip (again no good or bad per se).
very nice hotel with nice surroundings, swimming pool, bar area and restaurant. Each room has a garden and/or balcony and overall rooms are very comfy. Good buffet as well (available for breakfast/lunch and dinner). It is a typical "all inclusive" kind of hotel (neither good nor bad per se - so I will be mentioning it both in + and - sections) and clientele is mainly international.

United KingdomRooms seem to vary a lot. We had two garden rooms - one had a private garden and no view, the other had no private garden but was next to the pool and had a sea view. No desk in room. Shower smelled of damp (insufficient ventilation). Skip the croissant and pain au chocolat - they have no idea how to make pastries.
Nice modern large rooms, great shower, very clean. Good location (15min stroll to town square)
