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.).

United KingdomVery small point. There are 3 channels on the TV in English & all 3 are news. For us 1 news channel is enough & it would be great to have 1 or 2 non news channels in English.
Great hotel. Modern, clean, pretty, lovely food with lots of choice, kind friendly staff, enough sunbeds & shade for everyone, lots of palm trees in the gardens around the pool area, in fact perfect for us.

RomaniaThe AC was old. The pillow had a bad smell. Shower head had rust and dirt. No noise insulation for the doors and windows. Food was lacking in variety at breakfast, but the dinner was better. Coffee could be better.
The garden looked really nice and the pool was clean. The staff was very kind, they agreed to change our room because the initial one was near the road and there was a lot of noise. The gym was looking new and it is outside.

AustriaOur bed was against the wall to the corridor, so we were woken often in the night by other guests returning. The towels were hard and scratchy. The buffet dinner wasn't really up to the standard of a 4* hotel.
The pool was a really decent size, with lots of toys for the kids to play with and plenty of sun loungers. We liked the lunch buffet and afternoon cake buffet offered (at a small cost) at the pool bar. The reception staff were particularly helpful and friendly. The beach was only a short walk away, via a nice walk over a little bridge over a swamp.

United KingdomNo negatives from us, such amazing value for money for a top quality hotel.
Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing. From the brilliant staff to the location and facilities. The food was delicious, so fresh and lots of choice. The atmosphere is very relaxing, both sitting by the pool or in the bar at night. Room was spotless and a great size. We loved it so much and have booked again for next year! The mix of guests is fab, lots of lovely Europeans, no one putting towels on beds. There’s a little town with gorgeous bars and tavernas a short walk away, or it’s a 10 minute taxi ride to town which has the best of everything you could want from a holiday in Greece - just dreamy 🇬🇷💙

United KingdomWeird payment system at dinner, that you have to bring cash each time to buy something to drink, including water. Perhaps it would have been better if the hotel had secured a cash deposit upon check in at reception and sorted it out at the end of the stay. It is not hotel's fault - some noisy, horrible people at swimming pool made our time there less pleasant.
The reception staff (especially Argyro - thank you. You were great!) was very helpful, hospitable and kind. The large outdoor pool with its surroundings were the highlight of this hotel. Close proximity to the beach - just short walk.

United KingdomOur room was at the ground floor, perhaps too close to the reception, hence it was a bit noisy at night, so many guests talking loud and banging doors. Not ideal with a 2 years old boy.
Big and well kept swimming pool and sundeck area. Beautiful view of the pool area. Large selection for breakfast.

United KingdomCons (which were mostly fixed when asked) As I mentioned, not much variety for vegans at the buffet but not a problem when I asked for vegan food - the veg is incredible and the team were super accommodating of that. The beds are incredibly hard and uncomfortable, but again, this was fixed when I commented to front of house, and the cleaners even came back to check I was happy with the extra padding - and I was! I was very comfortable after that. The pillows are very nice. The towels are quite worn and scratchy - not the end of the world and an easy fix.
This is a lovely hotel and great value for money. It is a little rusty round the edges if you look close enough (a few wires hanging out here and there, etc but they more than make up for that with the amazing service, great food and beautiful gardens. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Pros: the pool is huge and it is a beautiful setting, surrounding by lush greenery and beautiful trees, lots of lovely birds to look at and activities like pool toys and table tennis. It was also very quiet! The food is fantastic - all the veg comes from their garden and you can taste the difference. I have seen a few reviews knocking the food, saying there wasn’t enough variety - May Beach chooses quality over quantity and I appreciate that. They don’t churn out food en-mass, they take care with their menu and they only put out the best. The staff are wonderful! We received the warmest welcome from the front of house team and everyone from the kitchen staff to the cleaners care about giving you the best holiday. I am vegan and a fussy eater, so when there wasn’t anything I could eat out at meal times they asked me what I wanted and prepared it for me every day. Even on our first night when we arrived at 10pm, they were happy to prepare something for me. The rooms were absolutely spotless and cleaned beautifully every day. There are a lot of plug sockets in the rooms too. The staff all seem very happy and warm, I never felt like I couldn’t ask for something I needed. Rethymno town is an €8 cab ride from the hotel and it is a lovely town, lots to eat, drink, see and do.
