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.).

Italythe property is located in a beautiful calm and strategic position for those who want to explore the beaches of balos and elefanossi. It is surrounded by nature and is in front of the sea with direct access to an equipped beach with a bar and restaurant next to it. The room was equipped with all comforts and was very clean. Mrs Maria welcomed me in a wonderful way, even though I was late at check in due to an unexpected event and she gave me fresh fruit. throughout the stay she was available and the spaces were really clean and tidy.

SpainEverything was up to standard!
Great accommodation for its price, even better STAFF! It's been a month since we left Crete and I finally have the time to share my review. What can I say about Maria, she went above and beyond during our stay to make sure everything was clean, comfortable and that we were having a good time. By the time Maria is finished with your room you won't be able to see even a grain of sand and if you want fresh eggs and milk, she's your person! She made our holidays unforgettable, with her smile and good manners. It's the simple things that make hospitality special. She even gifted us a chocolate cake to congratulate us on our engagement. THANK YOU Maria, we will be back! About the room, also no complaints. Literally next to the sea, with all basic amenities you could ask for and well-connected to all sights of interest in the region if you have a car. Great hospitality and great holidays!

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like as this was exactly what we wanted. Some guests may find the location a little out of the way and too quiet but this is exactly what we required.
Lovely setting, attractive building set back from the road, large clean room with nice views overlooking the gardens and ocean at the front, plenty of parking and a very kind and efficient host. The area retains the feel of the real Crete.

BelgiumNothing, if you look only for a room, it was perfect. Just be aware that if you need to stay longer than a few nights, there is no way to cook, there is only a fridge. But it's clearly mentioned on the website, so it was not a surprise, no problem at all.
The room was perfect, the situation in front of the beach very pleasant, the place was as we were expecting, not crowded, wild, and a nice restaurant in the area. The hosts are very friendly! 😊

United KingdomLack of microwave. Aircon intermittent in back bedroom but Maria sorted it out.
We loved the remoteness of the location, the close proximity of the beach and authentic Greek tavernas nearby serving locally sourced food, especially the village sausages and fish dishes. As mentioned by other reviewers, Maria was so helpful and kind and the couple running the taverna also. We were able to take taxis to Kissamos for some delicious on the beach evening meals and late afternoon swims to watch the sunset over the mountains. Truly magical. We will come again!

United KingdomSpectacularly peaceful isolated location. Lovely room with sea view. Very clean. Good wifi Very safe for woman travelling alone. You have a little kitchen in the room with fridge, hob, pans and plates. Maria the host is fantastic, helpful, friendly. She goes above and beyond to help you with anything. The sea is just in front of the building. There is also a nice taverna in the campsite next door which is great, and also a little shop. The beach is really quiet and peaceful. It's not a resort, you need a car to get there, you need to bring in some food from the supermarket in town. It's a fantastic location for swimming, rest, yoga, meditation, relaxation, restoring. I loved it here. Thank you Maria!

LithuaniaRoom walls are thin, so at night you may hear your neighbours if they talk/depart. There're not many points of interest nearby (maybe a winery and Kissamos within an hour of walk each), but this may be considered an advantage if you're looking for a peaceful stay.
This is an excellent place to retreat from a noisy crowded city and enjoy beautiful Greek nature. The beach is right across the mostly deserted road and has free chairs. Speaking of the beach, it's a mix of small stones and sand, with sandy entrance being marked. In October the water was chilly, but still swimmable. At night it's super quiet on the street, so you may sleep with your windows/balcony open and enjoy the sound of the sea. The place is basic in terms of furnishing, but everything needed is here, and it is super clean. Maria, the host, is doing a great daily job keeping everything clean and covid-safe. There's a country-style family-owned restaurant at the property with tasty food and big portions. Very handy for dinner and peaceful sleep afterwards . Expect some cats join you during the process :) As this place is a bit remote, I'd recommend have a rented car during your stay (which you will most likely do anyway). There's a big parking space inside. It's a good base to explore the western part of the island.
