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.).

Germanywe loved staying at Kini Bay. it is situated a little above the town, so it's nice and quiet and you have a wonderful view at the Harbour. still, it's only a few minutes walk into town with its tavernas at the waterfront and a small mini market. also, Efi and her family are the nicest people, really friendly and helpful. we totally recommend! :)

United KingdomLovely clean and large room with pretty decor. Very comfortable bed and great 'hidden' kitchen area. Large balcony which we had to ourselves as the other upstairs rooms were not occupied. Efi is a very friendly and helpful host, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Kini Bay.

CanadaThe accommodation had a great view overlooking the sea, it was a climb to get up but I had a bad knee and still able to climb it. It was a clean room (cleaned every day), that had everything we needed. We had the Deluxe Twin Room with Sea View it's the one that had it's own private terrace. We didn't cook, but had equipment and tools for cooking with plates cups and utensils. Plus they had a big bottle of water in the fridge plus 4 capsules of Nespresso coffee. The family that owns it were very friendly and helpful when asked for help. I asked Efi if she had a ice pack for my knee and when I came back to the apartment, there it was. Our ferry didn't leave till 6pm, they allowed us to stay in the apartment for as long as we wanted. There is a bus that run from the port town to Kini and not too far from the accommodation, ask the accommodation, and they will tell you which stop to as the driver to get off at and directions to the accommodation. The sea and all shops, cafes, restaurants are a walk down the hill about 5 min walk.

United KingdomThe only thing to improve was the wifi which didn’t immediately connect then was very slow
The highlight was the host Efi who made every effort to make the stay special, including a lovely welcome tray of wine and fruit on the balcony. The location is great - high enough for a nice sunset view but only a few minutes walk from the beach. The room itself was excellent value too

I thought the room was very good value and in a great location. It had everything we needed (aircon, clean shower, fridge and self service facilities), was nice and quiet and had a lovely terrace outside. The host was very welcoming and gave us some fruit and a glass of wine when we arrived. The communication and directions before we arrived was great.

United KingdomKini Bay was a family run and very friendly Hotel. Our accommodation was superb - with lots of homely touches. Our room was situated downstairs with an amazing private patio with sea views- table chairs and deck chair seating. A lovely lemon tree was outside our bedroom. The room was well equipped and plenty of space. Very clean with plenty of toiletries. Efi and her parents were very helpful. Short distance to bars and beaches all downhill, 5mins.
