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 KingdomThis was an all inclusive holiday,the beer was watered down and just not very nice. the cocktails you have to pay for, so it's not really all inclusive. Also there is no entertainment in the evening at all so we had to go out every night. defeat's the idea of it being all inclusive even more.
All the food and staff were amazing.

IrelandShower cabin is small.
Everything was great, hotel is clean, staff is friendly and helpful, all the tram - reception, F&B team is exceptional, housekeeping is keeping hotel clean and tidy. One night we had a problem with laud neighbours, who was having private part on the balcony and was not letting anyone sleep. Night reception attended issue immediately after reported - well done, very efficient. Food was very good, repetitive, but we always found something we like there - always fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, meat, fish, plenty of side dishes, deserts. All inclusive includes only beer and vine from alcohol - the rest to be paid, but we didn’t mind. Location is good, just 3-5 min to the beach, many shops, restaurants around, mini golf just across the road, car rental next door, Rethymno 1 hour by food, but also bus available, bus stop is located few minutes away from the hotel (we try to take it once but was full and didn’t stop) so we rather walked there. The best, what they have in this hotel are 3 massage armchairs at the lobby, you drop coin of €2 there and get 8 minutes of very pleasant massage, love it! We recommend Rethymno Village Hotel, definitely yes!

United KingdomThe lack of lift. We were on the first floor with a baby.
Fantastic staff, great pool. Air conditioning kept the room cool at night. Daily cleaners were friendly. Food was delicious and so many choices. After reading reviews on here we thought the choices would be limited but in fact it was quite the opposite. There were many options for food and beverages. Hotel was in a perfect location for walking around the local restaurants and shops. And an easy few minutes walk to the beach. 10€ taxi into the old town

HungaryThere were cockroaches. Safe and luggage store were for additional cost. I would not call all inclusive, as only beer and wine was for free, and it was awful. Also the soft drinks was undrinkable. Breakfast were disappointing. Dry scrambled eggs, oily fried eggs, low quality meats and cheese. No sweetener and no plant based milk,
Close to the beach, close to many shops. Pool was great! Rooms were spacey and clean, however we saw cockroaches on the corridors. Late checkout was possible for 20 euro.

SerbiaMore hangers for clothes and towels in the bathroom are needed. There was a cat sneaking around the pool-side part of the restaurant that seemed to disturb some of the guests.
This is simply the extraordinary hotel with a pool in the calm and nice Platanes very close to Rethymno with amazing (and hardworking) dedicated staff, from the reception, restaurant to daily cleaning service. You can be sure that they will go extra mile to make you fully enjoy your deserved holiday. The hotel is well maintained and the bathrooms seem to be recently renovated. Everything is very clean. The room was comfortable with a nice balcony and the view over the pool and the sea behind. The towels were changed on a daily level or when requsted and they were stocked by soaps. Complimentary water provided in the fridge on arrival. Amazing and kind reception staff is available for assistance at all times. The restaurant staff was always with smile serving delicious and varied food with lots of vegetables, that we liked. The AC usage was free and guests should check the booking conditions since this can be charged depending on the agency/booking platform through which the reservation is made.
