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.).

The host makes you feel so welcome and takes care of even little things like the smell as you walk in is, it was just so welcoming and instantly lifted you. She was always there if you needed her for anything. The pool is amazing. Everything was just 5 out of 5 and you could not ask for more!

United KingdomThe kitchen is tiny so difficult to cook unless you're really determined, bathroom also v small. The noise from the road nearby. But the place and the owner are so lovely these things don't really matter in the end.
Lovely garden and pool, 5 min walk from a very nice beach (with free parasols and sun loungers at GK in exchange for a low spend at their bar/ restaurant), beach side taverna 10 mins walk, plenty of shops and restaurants in Kalyves, very friendly and helpful owner.

04/07 to 15/07/23 From the moment we arrived, Vasilki and her son Spiros not forgetting her husband made us feel extremely welcome. The apartment/bungalow we stayed in was immaculate and well furnished. The bed was extremely comfortable. The fridge was stocked with Juice and Wine. And a big surprise was a huge homemade cake that was delicious 😋 The gardens and pool like the rooms are immaculate. Lots of places to eat locally within walking distance, a supermarket and petrol station just down the road. Fantastic holiday made perfect by the accommodation. Thanks Nick&Allison

United KingdomMy only Criticism was the bathroom in our room was a little small, but adequate for a weeks holiday. To get to the nearest town (Kalyves) it was a 1.5 mile walk along a main road, however there were bars, restaurants and cafe's on the route
The owners who live on site were really helpful and friendly, they could not do enough for you. It had a great pool area, it was also close to a beach with 3 Beach Bars with free sunbeds and reasonably priced food & drink. A Supermarket was a 5 minute walk away.

The pool area is all new and cleaned daily. The garden has a beautiful setting with mountain views and stunning flowers, a perfect place to go and relax! The location is great with the beach, supermarket and Kalyves town all on your doorstep. Our car was hired through our hosts which we would highly recommend. It felt like a home away from home!

Located an easy walk to an excellent beach the apartments are a real jewel in Kalyves. The property is run by the family who own it and cannot do to much to help, they are always on hand. The bungalows are well appointed and spacious with easy access to the lovely pool. Although the beach is nearby we didn't want to venture from the grounds as there was everything there we wanted. A thoroughly relaxing experience. (They'll even rent you a car!)

United KingdomIt is quite near the road though I would say that it’s closeness to the beach compensates for this. There are a couple of restaurants a short distance away but I think the centre of Kalyves would be too far for most people to walk, at night.
Friendly welcoming and helpful owners. Spacious apartment, well equipped and spotlessly clean. thoughtful little welcome box with necessities for a breakfast or two. And we were not expecting the pool, which was brand new and the best surprise. Would not hesitate to recommend.

United KingdomIt would have been better to have had some shampoo provided, as the current security measures prevent a passenger taking any liquid over 100ml in size.
The manager was in one word, excellent. Very welcoming but more importantly extremely helpful, and I will return. Very close access to the beach, supermarket, and a very good taverna nearby with an enjoyable meal at a fair price.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
The location was excellent for us being on the edge of the village yet only a short walk to the beach and main supermarket. The studio was well equipped for our needs and everywhere was kept very clean and tidy. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and we would definitely stay here again on another visit.
