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.).

Switzerland-
At our arrival we have been warmly welcomed by Mr Manousos, who offered us wild figues and raki. He gave us an upgrade of the room, so we could enjoy a beautiful and large triple room instead of the double one. Very clean, very comfortable mattress, nice terrace with sea view...wonderful to relax watching the sunset from there and wonderful to fall asleep with the sounds of the waves. The position of the pension is very close to the beach, around 50 meters, and very close to the main street of the village where we could enjoy nice dinners in good restaurants suggested by Manousos. We have been treated like family and that's the way we felt during our 3-night stay, in a family. We found Manousos a very special person, a kind hearted man, rich in positive energies. We would like to thank him for being so caring and attentive to details, from the very first day until our departure.

United KingdomAs we traveled around Crete, we realized that many hotels in this price range have some downs, but our main concern was cleanliness and some local advices, which were perfect.
The sea view and the sound of the waves was great from our room. We spent two nights and both days was very windy, but taken advices from the host we spent a splendid day at a nearby beach.

SpainWe really enjoyed our stay at this simple and beautiful location. Manousos was really an exceptional host: thank you for all your attentions and good advice about the area. The flat had everything we needed, with a beautiful sea view with the beach in front of us. We could enjoy our breakfast in the morning at the terrace and it is an excellent location to explore and enjoy the area. We wish we could go back one day. :)

GermanyKalamaki is quite a touristic place with many opportunities to dine and shop, at the same time there is that very long beach to walk far and find more places to take a swim. We were pleasantly surprised by the location, the house is like in the second row and quiet at night but not at all far from the beach (~200m from door) and all balconies have excellent sea view. Rooms and linens are clean and regularily serviced. Kitchen and fridge were shared by three rooms on that floor, which worked very well. The host Manousos is very friendly and attentive, and btw many thanks for the Tsipouro and all advice and background info about places to go to! Good price and can recommend...
