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.).

New ZealandPool looked great but not heated so my wife, who loves to swim didn’t go in for the 10days we stayed, but that was largely due to it being a very windy period and the property and pool are not well sheltered. Main living area had good space but bedrooms on small side and beds only average comfort. We did have a couple of occasions where there wasn’t enough hot water for showers, but host quickly responded to this.
Good amount of of space, well equiped kitchen, very responsive host, spa and sauna were nice

AustraliaWe missed not having a doona for the night as we would prefer not to have to use airconditioning ( which was available ). Minor issue.
The apartment was very spacious and well equipped. It is in a quiet location just outside of Kissamos. While we did not get chance to use them the pool, spa and sauna looked great. The staff member that we met was very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomPillows could have been more comfortable.
We stayed in a spacious 2-bedroom ground floor apartment situated within a building comprising a total of 3 apartments. While the amenities including the sauna, hot tub, and pool were enjoyable, we had to coordinate our usage timings with the other guests. Despite this, the facilities were pleasant and added to our overall experience. Despite not meeting the host in person, we found her responsiveness via WhatsApp to be commendable in swiftly resolving any issues that arose during our stay. The location of the apartment is rather remote, but fortunately, we had rented a car which allowed us to manage our transportation effectively. Despite its seclusion, we found the remoteness added to the tranquillity and peacefulness of our stay.

AustraliaNothing it was a good place to stay
Large apartment. Very nicely decorated. Everything provided with everything to go to the beach, or rain. Sun umbrellas, first aid, washing lines and kitchen basics. Large outdoor area with fantastic pool, hot tub and lounge chairs, and garden area with a cute fountain. Had a couple of queries for the stay and quickly addressed by the owners. Highly recommended. Car necessary. Would stay again. PS- lovely sheets on the bed

United KingdomWe were there 8 nights. I Would have liked a change of sheets/ towels after 4 days. However, to the owners credit when I asked it was done quite quickly. A local family rented the top apartment for one night, and took over the entire outside area, the grounds of the property for a birthday party, bbq in the communal outside area & loud terrible music. It was intrusive and we had to get away.
Perfect for our family of 4

RomaniaThe location is a little bit remote and it's advisable to move around by car. We relied on the public transport, which was pretty ok, but we also had to walk a while which can be quite difficult in the July heat. Suggestions for minor comfort improvements: a little grease on the doors' hinges for solving the squeeks; a few clothes hangers besides the entrance door would be helpful; the faucets of all sinks could be upgraded and also the kitchen trash can.
Spacious apartment with living and 2 bedrooms, situated on first floor in a small building with 3 apartments in total. Huge living room, kitchen fitted with every possible appliance, we had everything we could need. Although we haven't met the host in person, she was very kind and didn't mind that we broke the toaster. Also, when the water stopped running in the bathroom, she solved the issue in a few minutes. She also provided us with many helpful information about the local transport and food facilities. Wonderful sea view from one of the 3 balconies. The small pool and the jacuzzi were perfect for evening relaxation, especially due to the fact we could be the only ones using them most of the time. Various swimming and beach accessories were available for anybody to use as they pleased for free.

United KingdomNo complaints. We did not stay in the ground floor apartment but I suspect it would not be quite so attractive since it is in part below ground level so has smaller windows and less good views. It does however have easy access to its own terrace and the pool
Truly exceptional apartment. There are just three floors and each apartment has an entire floor. The top floor 1 bed apartment had a main kitchen /diner/sitting room of some 50 square metres plus bedroom plus 3 balconies, 2 facing the sea (North) and one facing the mountains (South), so huge. There is a good sized pool, a hot tub / jacuzzi, a BBQ area, a patch of lawn marked out with a football pitch and goals, a garden with fruit trees and extras such as books and games, beach towels. The apartments stand on their own in fields but there is easy access to restaurants alongside the shore.

WOW. We stayed in a few places during our holiday and this was our favourite. The apartments are spacious, clean and beautifully furnished. We loved sitting on the balcony at all times of the day and were surprised to have such a good sunset view. The garden area is also lovely, a lot of thought has been put into this property and the host was so kind and helpful. The location is perfect especially if you have a car to get to Chania and also the west coast (we nipped to Kissamos a lot for food) and enjoyed walking down by the sea in the morning. Thank you!

LatviaSmall construction design failure is that exit to garden is through one bedroom (ground floor apartament). Much convenient it could be from the living room. But this didn't affect our pleasure seriously. Little bit missed private contact with host, everything was arranged remotely, but perfectly.
Very nice home, garden and swimming pool. Especially garden area with grill facilities and dinning area. It is great to enjoy fresh grilled meal outside, listen cicada sounds in warm September nights!!! Perfect location to explore west part of Crete island. Quite place, at the same time everything is nearby.
