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.).

The location is perfect on the edge of busy Malia, yet quiet, close to the sea and a stones throw from the old town. The Olympus family are amazing and can’t do enough to make your stay wonderful.

GermanyWe had a wonderful week of vacation in Crete at Olympus Studios. Everything was perfect. The incredibly friendly and warm landlords are to be emphasized, who ensure that you have an exceptionally beautiful vacation. The accommodation was very clean. Breakfast was brought directly to our door every morning and we were even allowed to borrow bikes for free every day with which we explored the area. The location of Olympus Studios is great. 10 walking minutes to the beach and about 20 minutes to the old town. The restaurants in the old town are world class. Thanks again to Iliana and Giannis for making our vacation so great!

PolandOlympus is the best place to stay in Malia ! Located close to the beautiful beach and not far away from the city. You will find restaurants and shops nearby. Hosts - Ilyana and Giannis went above and beyond so we could enjoy our vacation with no worries. They were super nice, we spent alot of time talking together. Room was amazing - clean, cozy and well equiped. Kichen and bathroom had everytning we needed. Room had 2 balconies with beautiful view, one with beach view and one with sea view. Swimming pool was clean and we enjoyed our time in it. Olympus also has a cafee/bar with amazing drinks :) Olympus studios is pet friendly place, there are two sweet dogs there which are super nice ! Overall i would rate my experience with Ilyana and Giannis 11/10 - we really enjoyed our time spent there, maybe some day we will come back 😃

CyprusOn behalf of Simon ... Yiannis & Iliana were amazing hosts. From the moment I turned up at the accommodation they were so friendly and helpful. The studio itself was extremely comfortable, clean and spacious. I had a great view of the mountains and sea and private outside areas. It was also in a quiet area of Malia away from the nightlife. I would join the owners and other guests for after dinner drinks in the evening, everyone was so relaxed and friendly it just made my holiday. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to be back in a few months time.

NetherlandsThe stay was fantastic. Ilyana and Giannis are such lovely warm people. They do everything for you to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We have been to many places but we had never experienced something like this. Don't expect golden furniture and the most luxurious rooms, but do expect a homely atmosphere that you will not find anywhere else. The resort is very clean and looks nice, but most of all it is very cozy and the atmosphere is perfect! We have stayed at Olympus Studios for a total of 10 days and feel like we have gained a family. We will definitely come back and would recommend this resort to anyone!

LatviaEverything! We had nice and cozy apartment with own small backyard in Ancient Greek style, where we found a gazebo and a hammock :) In 1-2 minutes of walk there is great taverna. Very good Potamos beach (actually a series of several small beaches) is about 10 minutes walk. Right after Potamos beach (5-7 min walk) you’ll find Malia Palace Archeological Site. Center of Malia is 15-20 minutes walk which is rather close but at the same time it’s very quiet in Olympus studios (you don’t hear the noise of Malia’s night life which is important for a family with kids) The owners Giannis and Iliana are super friendly and generous people!

PolandNot my kind of place. The air condition 3 Euro per night so you have to add it to the bill. The wifi is also paid. The "bungalow" is in fact an apartment with a terrace 2 meters from the terrace of other apartment - so when other guests have kids who like to play and run all over the place in the night you will not get much sleep.
The host is wonderful and helpful. The room was big and well ecquipped.

United Kingdomnothing it was amazing
Amazing property with superb hosts. We stayed for a week and we’re very sad to leave. Thoughtful little touches like wine in the room on arrival and the garden and hot tub in my apartment was perfect. the smell of Jasmine at night is beautiful. The property is exceptionally clean and comfortable and the family are amazing. I visited with my son and his girlfriend who also had an amazing time. Nothing was too much trouble for Iliana and Yannis and little Vicky made us smile. if you are looking for a home from home in a great location I would highly recommend. thank you Iliana, Yannis and Vicky Mimi, Ginger and Liv xxx
