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.).

SwitzerlandParts of the room are a bit dated
Very friendly staff, cozy beach bar and located right at the beach. Buses to the city center are essentially also right in front of the door and so are other restaurants and kiosks. The room was cozy and spacious with a little balcony to enjoy a drink on.

GermanyThe brevity of our stay :'(
We could hardly have found a better place to stay in Heraklion. The location, the room, the services offered, the pool, the delicious breakfast, but above all the staff's attention and kindness. Thank you Sofia & Sofia for the hospitality and for attending and helping us to resolve all our requests. By the way, we decided to have dinner a couple of times at the restaurant and we can say that the burgers are highly recommended :-P

BelgiumThe room wasn't always totally clean. Sometime there was still sand on the floor and the bathroom smelled a little damped. Otherwise everything was fine 🙂
We loved the location. Near to some shops, restaurants and super markets. You could also easily take the bus to Heraklion city. And the beach was right there 😊 friendly staff, cheap and jummie food in the snackbar. Nice clean swimming pool.

United StatesI didn't like leaving.
Everyone at Frank's was so accommodating. We arrived very late but that was not a problem. Our rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable beds, and a well working air conditioner, fantastic shower with great water pressure. The staff was so welcoming, we felt like family. We were always met with smiles. The food was delicious. The pool was so refreshing, never too crowded. The beach was lovely, the sand somehow was never too hot, again, never too crowded. We were able to book an excursion to Santorini through the hotel with ease, even with short notice. We are looking forward to bringing our family there in the future. It was close to many attractions with easy access. We also especially loved being greeted by Lily, the cat each morning at breakfast.

GermanyWhen I first entered my room, it smelled a lot like somone smoked inside there.. not so bad as I'am smoking myself, but for other people could be quite unpleasing.
I stayed here for the last two nights of my vacation because I wanted to lay at the beach, drink cocktails and do nothing. Well I did what I wanted and with all this super expensive hotels around, Frank Apartements has nothing less to offer. You can have breakfast.. at the beach. You can have dinner.. at the beach. You can have cocktails, beers, softdrinks, icecream.. at the free of charge beds.. at the beach :D Loved the friendly staff and the food/drinks.

United StatesThe location of the apartments is wonderful! it’s just a few steps away from the bus station which allows you to come and go from that part of the island as you please. The food is delicious!! And cheaper than anywhere else around here. Sofia is wonderful and super helpful with booking us a taxi to and from the airport. I will 100% return here.

RomaniaHowever, the area of the beach that is served by Frank Apartments is opened to outside tourists, as well, and it is a rather big area which makes the beach services difficult to access: too crowded, the waiters have many orders. Also, note that the locality, Ammoudara Herakliou, does not bring justice to Crete. It is a dull locality compared to other areas in Crete, not to mention the higher accommodation costs for the entire experience. I regret moving there, even for a couple of days... just to be closer to Herakliou. Research more on the areas.
The location as distance to the beach is awesome. The facilities: pool, restaurant, shops around - great. The room is rather small, but cozy and with a nice view from the balcony (trees around).

Czech Republicour room on the ground floor had bit issue with smell on moist kitchen cabinet and especially bathroom we covered hole on bathroom floor and it helped we asked very nice cleaning lady to replace two pillows as they also had smell and she brought new ones in one minute with a big smile and no drama hotel is very very clean to be clear about that and they have daily room service. we even had aromatiser for the space with very nice smell. model that takes also mosquito tablets. they were missing, but we found in supermarket around the corner or bring your own mosquito tablets. Place is surrounded with green area so normally there is few mosquitos just apartment maybe was on ground floor and poor canalisation and proximity to sea can cause this.
property is situated on the beach. beach is sandy and clean. Playa bar is cool same as girls working there. you can pay at beach bar your bill once in the evening they accept cards. Advantage of staying at this property - free access to sun beds and private swimming pool. the room was equipped with cutlery/dishes for 3 persons. tiny balcony is enough for 2 people comfortably to fit and has drying string and few clothespins to hang your swimsuits place had parking for fee for guests car rentals but we used public transport as part of local experience. Trip back and forth to Heraklion for dinner or a city walk is comfortable with a city bus (buy immediately 2 tickets from supermarket for 1.5€/pp/ per ride) even airport can be reached in 45-50’ for the same price. taxi station is just 200m away very nice and communicative host/ owner Sofia Lena doing her job with a smile
