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 KingdomGetting into the property from its driveway gate is quite steep but manageable. Can’t be helped due to the terrain
We stayed in Elektra. We loved that this villa was quite private, very spacious, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sauna room, large pool and terrace. Staff were amazing. Attentive, polite and overall lovely people. The breakfast was lovely. Every morning we were given a fresh breakfast. Hot food was always eggs in some form, omelette, on toast with tomato, fried with bacon and sausage etc. fresh fruit, cheeses and hams. Fresh Greek pastries and cakes. (The homemade orange cake was amazing) there was so much food served at breakfast, that it lasted us till lunch. The views from the property are breathtaking!

Fresh fruits, omelette, tomatoes, cucumber, olives. homemade cake and more…. As a welcome gift we got wine and raki. The hosts were very friendly and we felt at home from the first day.

RomaniaOn the downside, the bathroom facilities could use some improvement. The toilet flush system was quite frustrating and only one of the four bathrooms could be used for showering properly as it had a glass-door cabin, while the others didn't even have a curtain (and everything around would get wet of course).
The location is absolutely superb. The villas are perched on a mountain overlooking the sea and offer amazing views all around, especially at sunset. The outdoor spaces - terraces, swimming pool and gardens - are very well designed and maintained, ideal for spending time with family or friends. We generally enjoyed great hospitality there (starting with welcome fruit and drinks and ending with a parting gift), but the highlight definitely was feasting every morning on delicious breakfasts freshly made by Yiannis from local ingredients.

GermanyThere is just one thing which is good to know, if you need three bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms with a double bed each and also two single beds downstairs, but it is a open bedroom with no door. This didn't bother us as we just needed two bedrooms, but it is good to know for groups.
We have really enjoyed our stay in the Kalipso Villa and the breakfast was outstanding, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs varations and freshly baked cake, we have really been looking forward to breakfast everyday :) Yannis has welcomed us at the arrival and showed us around, he was very polite and friendly. The villa is beautiful, everything is very clean and you have an amazing view from the balcony and the pool area. The location is very quiet and you can just have a relaxing time, I would really like to come again. I just would recommend to have a rental car, as there is not very much around like shops or restaurants nearby, but for me this was a big advantage as we wanted to relax.

RomaniaOnly one bedroom has the view presented in the photos, the other one is at a low level, with a narrow view of the lawn in front of the house. Flushing the toilet is a bit difficult as you have to keep the button pressed for a long time. The property could be better signaled from the street (if you come during the night, it's very hard to find the gate, even if you know where it should be).
The hosts are very friendly, breakfast very good and abundant (see photo). The views from the courtyard and from the upper bedroom are amazing. The pool is being cleaned every day. A very comfortable place, equipped with everything needed, including washing machine and dishwasher. The welcoming fruits and wine was a great touch. Wifi is strong and covers the whole house and courtyard.

DenmarkThe house is right next to the northern highway (going from heraklion to chania) and the trafic never stops..... the constant noise from the road ruined the experience that was supposed to be tranquil. The host is great though! and the service top class!
great house with the best view and everything a heart can wish for
