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.).

FinlandThough the hotel is by seaside, the distance to the beaches is a few hundred meters. This was not a problem to me, since I knew it beforehand.
The hotel is new, and in a very good condition. Since I travel by car, parking in front of the hotel was a must. Connected to the hotel is cafe bar Cactus, where I had a very good breakfast for 8 euros.

The host was especially welcoming. He went out of his way to get us something to eat at 10pm. The season had not started yet so limited availability. He explained everything patiently and thoroughly. The property was as described and very clean.

PolandI liked everything.
The hosts were super nice, always available and helpful, very responsive. We received a higher standard room than the one we booked, not sure of the reason, maybe because we visited in the second half of October, so the season has been closing up, not so many people in the hotel, but it was a really nice surprise. The apartment was fresh, bright, very clean, well furnished, kitchen equipment complete, we could find there anything that we needed. The hotel is surrounded by a garden, the view from the window was beautiful, we regretted not being able to stay longer. We visited 4 hotels on Crete, and this one was defintely the nicest, and the best quality for the price. There is a small restaurant just at the entrance to the hotel, which is an additional advantage.

IrelandThe shower floor tended to "flood" a little but was manageable.
Very nice room with 2 Balconies with one overlooking the sea. Excellent location with a 15 minute walk to the village centre. Plenty of beaches nearby. Staff were exceptional particularly the cleaning lady who looked after our room with great care. Very nice restaurant/cafe "Cactus" downstairs. Mojitos were great! parking was good.

GermanyNothing that is associated with the hotel directly, but there are some cars/scooters/bikes going crazy fast on the street which is adjacent to the hotel. That is sometimes a bit noisy.
Perfectly furnished little apartments. Very clean and very nice staff! Awesome seaside view and the cafe/restaurant is also great. You can walk to the nearby beaches.

United KingdomLoved it all
We have had a wonderful week at Porto Kalyves. The apartments are spotless, very comfortable and with everything you need. The bathroom was very modern by Greek standards. We had a separate lounge / kitchen and balcony overlooking Souda Bay - fabulous. The walk into Kalyves is about 20 minutes all flat. The beautiful beach is 10 minutes walk. Free sun beds if you buy drinks which are reasonable prices. Supermarket and bus stop to Chania 7 mins, a couple of good tavernas about 5 mins. But the best bit is the fabulous staff and the bar where you can get a great breakfast (I recommend the energy boost bowl and omelette) as well as great pizzas steaks etc. in the evening. Special thanks to Panos and family, Christos, Stephanie, the lovely smiley cleaning lady and all the staff for making this a chilled week 😀
