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 KingdomThe view was mainly of the taller part of the apartment block - quite dispiriting. I guess the apartments with nice views must have been taken already. Also seems that before Orthodox Easter the restaurants in Agathia are closed. But it's not far to walk to Palekastro where 2-3 restaurants were open.
Spacious apartment with a comfortable bed and well - equipped kitchen. Very kind welcome from Christina's mother who gave us olive oil from her own trees and eggs from her own chickens and tasty homemade biscuits. Agathia is very well situated for visiting ancient Palekastro ruins and the beach on foot.

NetherlandsThe style of the apartment is traditional Crete which is not our preferred style. But we hardly blame the host for that. You need a car to go to the town center (1km) but we knew that
Comfortable free-standing apartment with seperate bedroom and living/kitchen. We found it to be very good value for money. It exceeded our expectations so far east in Crete, we were anticipating a less comfortable night. Pleasant host too who was waiting for us when we arrived.

Italyperfect location. very close to the sea and to the main touristic points of the area. the house is very clean and fully equipped with everything you need. the big veranda and the common spaces outside made the experience exceptional for our family : the kids could safely play outside and our dog enjoyed the place as well :) The owner was very nice and friendly! she welcomed us with a bunch of fresh eggs and juice for the kids. she also offered us some of her homemade olive oil and she made herself fully available in case we would need anything. I totally recommend it !

United KingdomThe apartments were lovely, we rented three for a family group which worked very well. They have everything you need for a relaxing stay, and they were spotlessly clean. Gorgeous location, with tavernas in easy walking distance. Fantastic value for money.

MaltaThere is nothing not to like.
We had one of the most enjoyable stays in Crete. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything one needs including a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The kindness of Mrs. Evangelia was much appreciated as we're her constant small gifts nearly every morning. The apartment is well situated to reach the many lovely beaches and one can find a sheltered Cove even when the Meltemi blows. We plan to return as it was a memorable stay.

ItalyWe spent just one night in this apartment but we wished we could have stayed longer. The apartment is located in a very quiet and beautiful rural area, it is big, comfortable, clean and has everything you need. It’s also very close to Hiona beach and in a strategic position to visit Vai beach. The host is really nice. Highly recommended

SwitzerlandNothing to dislike if you prefer seclusion to bring on the Beach Front.
The owner Christina and her mother were very Caring and generous, always at your disposal if necessary. The Property was equipped with every amenity, spotlessly clean, quiet and secluded but accessibile by car or Bike from the Beach a few minutes away. I was there for the whole month of June and no mosquitoes at all. Good WIFI and use of Washing machine for clothes. Walking distance from good minimarket in Agathias, with the Bigger Paleokastro a few minutes by bike or car.

GreeceIt was an enjoyable short stay. The apartment was clean and cozy in a convenient area, close to Hiona beach and Kouremenos beach, and not far away from Vai beach. It's also very close to the centre of Palekastro. It's nice furnished with a kitchenette fully equipped, in a quiet area and a private parking. I would choose it again for my stay.
