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.).

JapanThere is nothing to complain about.
This is a new, modern design hotel. The guest room is based on white and has a very glamorous atmosphere. The bedside lighting is excellent. The location is also good: it is just 5 minutes by walk from central Heraklion. All staff are friendly. Everything nice!

United KingdomThis isn’t really a criticism as we were in the middle of a city but there is no view from the balcony other than the adjacent apartment blocks.
lovely clean room with very comfortable bed. Blackout curtains worked well and it was very quiet at night. We loved the spa and it was good to swim in an indoor heated pool as the weather wasn’t very nice during our stay. Friendly and helpful staff.

United StatesNight motion detectors and lights were a bit too much for us. The hotel was a bit hard to find when returning from an outing without using our phones, at least the first few times. Need more towel hooks or racks in bathroom.
A brand new hotel with loads of modern conveniences. Decor was truly ethereal white. About a 5 minute walk from the pedestrian-only shopping and eating area. An extra few minutes from the Venetian fort and breakwater/boardwalk.

MaltaI'd have liked a scale in my room but the hotel abounds in top notch amenities.
This is a newly constructed hotel so everything is very modern and spick-and-span. As advertised, everything is white. Breakfast buffet is generous. Spa reasonably priced. Universally positive interactions with the staff.

United KingdomClaims to be a smart hotel so everything is run by apps on a tablet, unfortunately when that doesn’t work it’s not so smart. Didn’t like additional charges that were not mentioned or advertised such as room taxes, room service charge, room cleaner charge…..stops you giving tips. The a la carte menu (and ergo room service) food choices were terrible - definitely not representative of competing menus at top hotels. Limited parking which is a nightmare if you’re in a car and need access. Not enough hooks, rails or hanging areas to air wet swimwear, towels and gowns after jacuzzis…
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was an issue and they were very content to engage in conversation. Breakfast choices were amazing, so much and the fruit smoothie juices were fabulous. The spa was amazing and is a must use, massages brilliant. Beds extremely comfortable and private jacuzzi is awesome.

GreeceDisappointed in a few technology issues (elevator key card and fireplace controls) and the breakfast. The breakfast seemed like it would’ve been decent to very good, but they didn’t refill anything so getting downstairs at 9 AM when breakfast ends at 10:30 AM everything was already gone for the day. Still 8/10 even with issues.
New hotel that is very clean, very friendly staff, great spa, and very heavy on modern tecnology. Center if town so easy to walk everywhere from there. The wet room / Spa was fantastic - maybe best I’ve seen.

CyprusThe room I was given had no view at all, a white wall was all I could see. Moreover, the balcony was next to the main ventilation exhaust, so there was a constant buzzing noise. Luckily the double windows kept most of the noise out. during my 3 night stay, my breakfast order was forgotten twice, even with very few customers in the breakfast area and I had to remind the waiters. Although the staff tried to be very friendly, there is still a long way to go to achieve professional efficiency.
Excellent facilities, room size and comfort! Fantastic spa and wet area. Good massage. Very good location. Full automation in the room. The value for money is excellent.

I stayed in this very nice and modern hotel during a short visit to Heraklion. The location is great, right in the centre. My room was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. I can also recommend the SPA where I had an exceptionally good massage by Georgina.

GreeceIf you cannot get 1 of the 3 parking spaces outside the hotel then you must use the 15€ per day car park.
Very close to the centre. Amazing pool and jacuzzi facilities that you got for 1hr each day (must book a time with the spa receptionist) along with a 15min free spa treatment. To use the sauna and steam room this is an extra cost, all this ensures that the pool and spa is never over crowded. The breakfast was superb. Friendly bar and spa staff. Room was large and very comfortable.

GreeceA brand new hotel at the center of Heraklio. The hotel is the first smart hotel in Crete. The staff makes the hotel even more top than already is. Very polite, always with smile and always ready to make your accommodation more comfortable and make the guests more welcome. The breakfast has very good first quality products and the spa ( swimming pool - Jacuzzi - massage ) is a facility that can't be missed . I would like to thank the management and the staff for my accommodation at Ethereal White Resort and will definitely choose it again on my next visit in Heraklio.

United KingdomEverything was pristine and super-luxurious. The room was very spacious and smart and the mattress was the best ever! The shower was a room unto itself, so no unwanted water on the floor anywhere. The lighting was also very flexible, with a variety of combinations and , most importantly, good bed-side light for reading. I could go on and on, but I will end with a thank you to the staff who were very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed an excellent cocktail in the bar.
