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 KingdomMuch further from Archanes than expected & definitely not walkable so to avoid driving didn’t use the restaurants there we planned to.
Huge well equipped rooms (suite), spotlessly clean, lovely pool & gardens, good parking on site. Discovered 2 excellent tavernas for eating & drinking in village just 7 mins walk away.

Exceptional host - this accommodation should have 5 star rating based on how welcoming the staff are and the fact this is the best kept place we saw in Crete. Beautiful grounds, with herbs and flowers and the pool is in a lovely location.

Very relaxing place in the wine region of Iraklion. Lovely and attentive staff helped us more than I expected. The place felt like having a pleasant micro climad. We stayed there during that super hot July 2023 and it was just perfect there all the time. There is a very good restaurant in the village. The pool js great.

PolandThere was one small problem: parking. It's quite spacious, but the access is a bit risky, especially if you have a rental car that you're not used to. We simply parked on the street a little below the hotel's gate. Maybe it wasn't entirely by the book, but it didn't cause any problems either. The second issue is that you need to know the hotel is located right in the middle of nowhere. Okay, it's quite close to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos. But if you want to go to the beaches, you have a choice between terribly crowded beaches around Heraklion, and God forbid, Malia... probably the most disgustingly overcrowded beach we've ever seen, or the beaches on the south of the island, which are accessible through winding mountain roads that can be quite challenging to navigate with a weak engine, like the Peugeot 108 we rented. The best option is the beaches to the west of Matala, which are a bit over an hour away via Road 97 through Heraklion, leading to Kommos Beach just west of Matala. Matala, although charming, is terribly crowded, while Kommos offers a wide expanse of pebbles with an incredible stereo effect: the sound of waves and the "singing" of cicadas. So you can spend a day at Kommos Beach, having quite a spacious area around you and only the sounds of nature, and in the evening, you can go to Matala for dinner, enjoying a charming but not as spectacular as the Polish Baltic Sea sunsets.
The room was really spacious, thanks to the mezzanine where the bed was located, creating a very cool effect, both a romantic atmosphere and a space for a kitchenette. There was a fridge, a stove, and all the necessary accessories for preparing meals on our own. The balcony was fantastic, filled with the loud chirping of cicadas and overlooking the surrounding hills, allowing us to witness a stunning sunrise in the morning and relax at night after a day full of sightseeing and lazing on the beach during our vacation. The whole place was situated in an incredibly well-maintained and flower-filled environment; we truly admired the effort the gardener must have put into its upkeep. Additionally, there was a wonderfully blue pool where we could have our breakfasts. The breakfasts were surprisingly good, especially considering our previous experiences in Greece. Moreover, the staff was very friendly, with special greetings to the lady who welcomed us every day with incredible joy and shared her dreams of travelling to Peru. We wish her dreams come true!
