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.).

BelgiumThe pool is rather small with limited sunbeds
Beautiful buildings, decoration and architecture in a small cosy village but still close to the airport (25 minutes) The staff is super friendly and eye for service. We benefitted from a room upgrade which was just amazing.

United KingdomNothing to write negatively about the location, the staff, food or facilities.
My first solo trip and I was not disappointed, I was made to feel so welcome and safe, staff took time to get to know me and made sure my stay went smoothly. The hotel itself is the most beautiful hotel iv stayed in, attention to detail, just stunning, amazing location. Such a relaxing calming environment which is exactly what I needed.

GermanyThat I couldnl't stay longer.
Everything was wonderful, but especially managment and the staff was amazing. I had to change my dates twice because of flight cancellations and they accommodated them right away and also stayed late to wait for me when I missed my connecting flight. They also offered to arrange a pick-up at the airport, but because I had a rental car, didn't need it. The room was amazing, with its unique wooden interior and scent. Very cozy. It was only a twenty miunte drive from the airport and easy to find. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

United KingdomI think the location is the negative thing about this place. Even the taxi drivers were confused to get there.
The aesthetic and the decoration is top in this place. The combination of colours gives you this sense of calm and tranquility that I was looking for. The staff was very friendly and I really felt warm and welcomed.

GermanyThe room (Ficcus) has no window, the room door with an integrated window leads directly onto the street. For privacy you have to close the curtain, then you no longer have daylight. Very noisy, you can hear every word from next door and every step from above. OK for 2 nights, not for longer.
Beautiful, large, cozy room with a dream bathroom. Good breakfast, also with cappuccino if desired. Beds very comfortable. The free bottle of wine was delicious. Perfect if you land in Herklion in the evening and want to see Knossos the next day.

United StatesWas somewhat difficult to find, initially!
We were so happy to be in Archanes, which was quiet with an interesting museum and old town, away from the busyness of Heraklion. Still so close to Knossos and with its own archeological treasures and contributions to the museum in Heraklion.

United KingdomPool area felt quite claustrophobic with limited sun bed facilities (only four). The rooms are arranged around the pool, so noise travels easily and it also feels very overlooked as people by the pool can look in through the room windows unless you have the curtains drawn. Construction work started nearby at 7.30am. A few items weren’t working properly - the shower door seal was brown and perished and so leaked water, and the bathroom door handle was loose in the door. The soap dispenser was also broken so we couldn’t use it and used the shampoo to wash our hands instead. Overall, not a 5* experience.
Comfortable beds and large room. We were shown were to park, which was very good.

United KingdomNothing! It was superb!
We absolutely loved everything about this hotel. It’s truly stunning! The design, the furnishings, the staff, it was all wonderful! The pool area is gorgeous! Such a peaceful place. Our room was small (we knew this when booking), but beautifully appointed. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. If you have large suitcases and lots of clothes with you, choose one on the larger rooms or suites. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the Bistro’s vibe, furnishings and food were delightful. Set in a lovely little town, with plenty of great restaurants, a short walk away. We had a great stay and would highly recommend.

United KingdomEverything was great.
We stayed here for a week, and it was beautiful and relaxing. Archanes is a lovely, quiet village set in the mountains and surrounded by olive trees - offering a much more serene setting compared to nearby Heraklion. The property is thoughtfully designed and kept in a really clean condition. The staff are a special highlight - Anastasia, Anny, Christina, the two Nikos's and Manos were delightfully friendly and endlessly accomodating. The chefs and cleaning staff were also fantastic. If you're looking to really disconnect and relax, I highly recommend Manili.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn’t like
Accommodation is excellent - high standard with a great balance bringing together modern facilities with traditional features. The staff are fabulous - very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Breakfast is great with a good choice each day and the bistro serves.very good food - great for a pre-dinner or a final cocktail too! Archanes is a great location - some lovely tavernas and a very local feeling but easy to travel to other areas of the island too - a great base.

SingaporeValue for money is just ok. My main gripe is that they advertise as a five-star stay, but it’s very far from reality. No gym, barely acceptable breakfast with no live food stations, wooden ceilings where u can hear the upstairs neighbour’s every single step VERY loudly, minuscule pool, no porter service, room door that opens on the alley open to cars and restaurant right in front. Not five star to me.
Room decoration is great. We stayed in Ficus room. Room faces the alley which gives a cool hamlet feel, but makes it challenging with luggage, car access.
