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 Kingdom1) The area outside the village [ It was in effect an oasis] was a bit dilapidated with rough undeveloped land not befitting such a lovely complex as Hara Ilios Village. 2) Not Hara Iilos’s fault but Booking.com description of some of the the items that were supplied did not mention they were chargeable items. 3) Although it indicated that Amex credit cards were accepted on the sign board outside reception, they do not. 4) Not the hotel’s fault but it would have been nice if a pharmacy were near by.
The staff/owners went above and beyond in their attention as well as should there be any problems they with dealt with ASAP. As our taxi airport transfer wasn’t due until 1400 hrs they allowed us to check out late obviously this is dealt with a case by case as the hotel occupancy at any one time may effect the possibility.

United KingdomThe air-con in our room stopped cooling the room after a few days, the heat was unbearable at night and we couldn’t leave our patio door open as the cats came onto the terrace at night. I asked the reception to check out the air con and they sent round maintenance straight away however he said there was nothing he could do. So we had a few uncomfortable hot nights with no sleep. Our terrace with private pool was in the shade apart from 1 hour of the day so the pool was way too cold to use unfortunately, but I suspect later in the year it would be better.
Loved our stay here at Hara Ilios, we went for one of the rooms with private pool which was lovely. The main pool area was great, not too busy during our stay and the pool itself was perfect. Definitely the staff at the bar and the amazing food & drinks were our highlight, they were super friendly & attentive. The place was very clean and our room was cleaned thoroughly every day, it was immaculate. The cleaning staff did leave our terrace door open every day and our room was right on the main path through the hotel so I wouldn’t recommend leaving anything important in the room during the day, or use the safe. The bed and linen are super comfortable and the room had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing, so many choices & all delicious. We only had dinner at the hotel once, buffet style and we went quite late so there wasn’t very much available & I didn’t really enjoy it. There are loads of great restaurants around so would recommend checking them out rather than eating at the hotel in the evening. There’s a few small beaches a short walk away. Location was perfect for us, and we really enjoyed exploring the area.

United KingdomWhilst the location was a good base to explore other parts of Crete, there wasn’t a massive amount of restaurants or activities within walking distance. It is worth noting that the hotel offered a range of car hire options to ameliorate the slightly quieter location.
The staff were exceptional and so friendly and helpful. All members of staff we interacted with went above and beyond to help us and make our stay excellent. The property was gorgeous and perfectly clean. Our room had a beautiful view and the whole complex was very well maintained. The food, drink and the pool area were excellent.

Germany-The location is not the best one. The nearest beaches were about 0.5 km away and it is very close to the traffic road. Sun beds cost 6-10 EUR. There is a better sand beach but around 1-1.5 km away. Close to the hotel there is a bus stop, but the busses in Crete are always late and full, better rent a car! When you leave the hotel, the surroundings around the hotel is a bit sad and poor. Nothing spectacular! -The coffee at the breakfast was very poor (far from real Greek coffee!). Quality of juices was poor as well and there was no water. -Drinks were not included in the dinner.
- Girls and boys at the reception were always friendly and willing to help with any problems. - Breakfast was standard and testy. Every day was something new! - Dinner was very good: at least 2-3 choses for meat and 3-4 different salads, fruits and 2-3 deserts. The hotel has its own vegetable and fruit garden! Very tasty vegetables! All courses were very testy at the dinner! Thank you very much to chief-cooker! The local house wine was also testy! One minus: there was only one kind of seafood and there was nothing on the grill at the dinner. - The room was comfortable and clean. Air conditioning worked well and without additional costs. - The cleaning of the room was good (on request during the Covid!) - The territory of the hotel is quite, clean and beautiful, a lot of flowers and exotic trees. There were huge palms directly on swimming pool!

United KingdomWe paid for one of the largest superior family rooms, unfortunately we ended up in a room with 1 camp bed, it took 2 nights before this was resolved. We purposefully paid for proper beds due to having older teenagers. To be honest, this put a real dampener on the holiday, no form of a refund was offered, despite the price difference. We were told by 2 different reception staff that the manager would be in touch, this didn't happen and emails ignored. It's expensive - drinks, food etc. Breakfast is adequate but far from exceptional. It is a bit of a walk to anywhere. The power continues to go off in the evening, on one evening we were under the powerline and witnessed the loud bang and sparks.
Property clean, staff were friendly, mostly. Pool is open until 8pm

United KingdomWe stayed in brand new room, the design of which was awful. The toilet and shower - which both had opaque non-soundproof doors on - were directly adjacent to the bed, so there was very little privacy and if one person put the light on for the loo in the night it lit up the entire room for the other person. The sink was so close to the bed that if you weren’t careful you could splash the person lying in it! The corridor door were also completely ineffective at keeping out the noise, luckily there weren’t many guests in the block, but the workmen and the maids all showed up at about 7:30! There was air con but it couldn’t be turned any lower than 24 degrees.
The location was good but is not 50 metres from a beach that you can sit at, it is a good 15/20 minute walk to a nice beach. it is 50 metres from the coast. Breakfast was good but you have to pay for WATER! The bar was nice. The grounds and general decor was of a high quality.
