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.).

Georgia was a wonderful host. We stayed there after our return flight from Greece to the UK was cancelled. We were allowed to keep our room all day until we checked out to leave for the airport at no extra cost. Georgia arranged our transfer and refused anything extra for the additional services she provided. Kares Estate is a wonderful quiet place to spend time away from the tourist areas of this wonderful island.

NorwayWe had a fantastic weekend here, the staff made us feel at home right away, doing everything to accommodate our needs, and Georgia is a lovely character, always around with a smile and warm humor while working with everything! The location is lovely and quiet and has a good atmosphere, everything was nice and clean. They prepare local food, using fresh and local quality products. We had all our meals here, and enjoyed everything! Make sure to try the pomegranate juice for breakfast! It is a bit remote so it's recommended to have a car. This is a place we would like to visit again!

What a beautiful little gem, tucked amongst the hills. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete: absolutely stunning views from anywhere on the estate, beautiful huge garden (full of pomegranate trees) great breakfast, awesome and very clean facilities (spacious villas, we even had own jacuzzi inside), pool overlooking the hills and genuine, warm and brilliant hosts that make you feel so welcome… honestly cannot find enough superlatives for this place! Close to a little village that has a couple of great tavernas with really good food as well.

PolandVery relaxing stay. If you read other reviews you already know that Georgia is an excellent host and a big asset to this place. Studio has a peculiar interior layout, but the mezzanine bed and the panoramic window will likely give you the best view you will get on your vacation and are completely worth it. Whole property is really nice (animals!) and I'm sure larger units are great for a family stay. Road is now paved and not challenging at all.

United KingdomThe main building was dated, lots of wooden structures which appeared to need maintenence and did not look like the websites images which must have been taken some time ago. Main resturaunt area inside very dated. The villa was very different from website images. No aircon in our room made it a very difficult nights sleep. The villa is on three levels, the lower floor was good. Very small kitchen area which did not bother us as we were only there one night.
Good location, easy to find and not too far from the airport. Staff very friendly and helpful, food very good and excellent breakfast. Swimming pool was clean. Villa itself was clean as we're the surrounding gardens. Lovely view. Evening meal was nice and very good value. Georgia our host was great, best part of our stay.

Franceour accommodation seems to have seen better days ! There are lovely photos on their website but they must have been the first photos ! We took the basic room with countryside view. I believe that there are some things that need to be reviewed, like the general layout of the accommodation, electricity, security and general wear and tear of the property. I don’t think that 72 euros is a fair price.
A warm & friendly welcome. Verdant landscape and quiet rural setting away from the hustle and bustle of Heraklion. There’s a beautiful swimming pool

IrelandIt was more remote than we thought. If you like full isolation, it's great but if you fancy a dinner out, it's a bit of a drive on winding roads to get back to the place.
The breakfast was very good. Georgia is very nice and full of good advise. She gave us tips which were great.
