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.).

CanadaWe were there in the off season, so it was a bit chilly, and there wasn’t much to do in the immediate area other than the beach and pool. Would love to come back during nice summer weather!
It’s a beautiful spot right next to the beach. Beautiful pool area, lots of seating at the restaurant/bar, very nice rooms!

United KingdomWe preferred some of the restaurants in the harbour as they provided a more greek dining experience (10 min walk).
Our room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. It was great to relax beside the pool. We used it as a base to walk Mount Ida - which was stunning!

United StatesCrete is a big island you definitely need a car and everything is far. Nostos is the town of Bali, which is 45 mins from Heraklion and 1.5 hours from Chania. Great location, beautiful beach view and very reasonable priced. You just have to cross the street for the beach. Lovely buffet breakfast, and you get to enjoy it at the outdoor seating with the beautiful view of the beach.

United KingdomReally lovely hotel nice and clean. Only downfall is that there is only one englisj channel on the tv and the receptionist isn’t to welcoming. There was no hot water sometimes I’m not sure if they turn it on at a certain time or if it just wasn’t working. Amazing deep pool and lovely sun beds the top pool was a bit busy. The staff in the the nostos cafe are lovely wouldnt fault it. Definitely recommend

United KingdomI cannot complain about a single thing. My daughter would have preferred evening and pool entertainment throughout the day but I explained it isn't that kind of hotel. For me the location was a bit far to travel out to main areas, but it was less touristy and serene.
Everything, it was beautiful. It is the first time we had a junior suite, surprising my teenage daughter with the hot tub was great. The staff are friendly and welcoming.its quiet and peaceful. The cafe attached remember your order, should you visit and return wanting the same. The location from our front door to the pool was less than 10 metres and to the beach, seconds away The views were unreal, especially at breakfast of the mountains. It seemed like we were there for ages because of the peace and with no entertainment, we made our own. It was a perfect relaxing break.

CanadaThe only thing is the fact that the beach sun beds are not included. You need to pay for those.
We love the breakfast. There was plenty of choices to make everyone happy. The staff was super friendly and help us on many points. The room was big and super comfy. They are two pools on site and a lot of sunbeds near those.

SpainThe non stop annoying and repetitive music at the restaurant. I would have preferred to be able to hear the sea waves. The hotel has chairs and umbrellas on the beach, but you have to pay a steep extra fee. The beach cove is nice, but the sand strip is narrow and every inch is covered with lounge chairs. This location is somewhat convenient to visit Knossos, but for a beach vacation there are better options elsewhere in Crete.
Very nicely decorated hotel with a modern Mexican vibe and very friendly staff. Breakfast is very good and you can eat it while watching the sea.
