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.).

SerbiaMy husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sunshine Studios in Malia. The apartment was beautifully appointed and came with everything we need: a hairdryer, iron, kitchenette with a tea kettle, toaster, small fridge etc. They even provided extra sheets for those cooler nights, which we particularly appreciated. Nikos, the host, was incredibly helpful and attentive, tailoring our stay to fit our needs perfectly. He gave us fantastic recommendations for the best restaurants, must-see places, and exciting things to do around Malia. His local insights truly enhanced our experience. The pool was a fantastic addition, providing a refreshing escape on hot days. Overall, our stay at Sunshine Studios was memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Malia.

RomaniaThe only minus is about the bathroom that needs a refresh. The toilet seat was old and the bowl had some cracks. Even so, everything was clean and that is the most important part. Since everything else was perfect, I will not deduct a point for this and give this acommodation a solid 10
Starting with the host who helped us a lot with everything we need, the rooms here beautiful, recently renovated and equiped with everything you need. The cleanliness was spotless. Clean towels refreshed almost daily, trash can emptied, tidy up the beds. It has it's own parking right in front of the studio.

WOW!!! I arrived to Crete super early in the morning off a ferry & was looking for a place to stay in Malia. That's when I read the reviews for Nikos and the Sunshine studios & apartments & they couldn't be more correct.. Niko's is an absolutely wonderful host, accommodated me at very very short notice. The room was clean, airy & looked very recently renovated. The location is perfect as it's close to everything but not too close as for it to be loud at nighttime. & the beds.. OMG !! When I get home I need a new bed, that's how comfortable these beds were.. I have nothing but positive things for Nikos & the staff of Sunshine studios & apartments, if your thinking of coming to Malia, this place is perfect & I can't recommend it enough!!!

FranceI would have liked the Wifi to be stronger/faster.
Usually I would have rated the place 9 (nicely located, clean and comfortable), but with Nikos this turns into a 10, thanks to his kindness, his great advices on restaurants & bars you should visit (or those to avoid), and the fact that he is always there if you need anything. The swimming pool (next door) is a nice addition of course! Thanks again, cheers!

United KingdomNikos was very friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome from the beginning of our stay to the end. Location good for central Malia whilst still relatively quiet (off the main strip). Good pool, comfy spacious room with good air conditioning. Small but nice balcony. Ideally located for supermarkets, restaurants, and not far from bus stop if coming from/going to Heraklion or other main destinations on the island. 10/10!

BelgiumI recently had the most amazing stay at the Sunshine studio in Malia, and I cannot express how impressed I was with every aspect of my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The room I stayed in was absolutely superb. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had a stunning balcony. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time there, soaking up the sun and taking in the picturesque surroundings. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the room was impeccably clean. The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job, ensuring that everything was tidied up to perfection each day. One standout feature was the excellent Wi-Fi connection. Whether I needed to catch up on work or simply browse the internet, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout my entire stay. This made it incredibly convenient for me to stay connected with loved ones and share my wonderful experiences at the hotel. I cannot praise the reception staff enough for their outstanding service. They were always available and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a memorable stay. They provided me with invaluable tips and recommendations for exploring the local area, including the best restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems. Their knowledge and enthusiasm truly enhanced my overall experience. To anyone considering a visit to Malia, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Sunshine studio. You can rest assured that your every need will be met, and you will be surrounded by a team of dedicated professionals who genuinely care about your comfort and satisfaction. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, this hotel is the perfect choice. Don't hesitate to book your stay here - you won't be disappointed
