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.).

Lovely bungalow room in a great location. The breakfast was a good addition and staff very welcoming. Matala was a short walk or drive and is the perfect mix of beach, history and relaxed night life. Loved the sunsets, restaurants and evening shopping in the lovely bazaar.

DenmarkMusquitos in the room were annoying and had to be faught before sleep.
Nice place and very polite employees. We rented a bungalow but do to bad weather flights were canceled and our accommodation was not available. We got to choose between 3 other rooms which was nice. And because of the situation we cannot say bad thing about this. Great breakfast buffet and only short walk to beach and Matala center.

DenmarkBit noisy little fridge, but manageable. Would be great to have an insect net, as mosquitoes come rushing into the room, but we had a plug-in anti-insects device we bought ourselves, so not such a big problem either.
Walking distance from the beach. Parking on the premises (even right at your room door). Super friendly staff, both at the reception and at the bar/ restaurant. Delicious breakfast with great variety. Very quiet, even if close to main road.

PortugalThe Pool area is run down. There are broken parts and the water wasn't as clean as it could be. The tiles around the pool are slippery and not in their best shape. It surely needs some attention.
The location is excellent a few hundred meters from the beach. The self-service breakfast is good and the personnel is very nice.

United KingdomThere isn’t much I can say or fault. Like most places they don’t have vegan specifics on their menu, it would be nice surprise if I ever came back to visit.
The name of hotel says it all, you are in a valley surrounded by Crete’s mountains. It is 15 minute walk the beach and to the main restaurants in Matala, however this was perfect for my preference. I liked being further away with beautiful views to appreciate. I came to Crete the start of may just before the season fully started so I had the luxury of enjoying the hotel which felt like all to myself first couple of days. The cats that hang about the complex was a bonus for me, I grew a bond with them but tried not to interfere to much with feeding them. Just the odd treat here and there and noticed some other tourists doing it aswell. I was happy to see they had a good life regardless of not being owned. I am vegan, food was a struggle in Crete yet I could of been more creative on what I could of asked for. At my stay at the valley the staff cooked me a vegetable pizza no cheese, pasta and another night I had grilled vegetables with potatoes and salad. At my request they did their best and it was appreciated. I honestly think it’s good value for money, my only wish is if I stayed long term for it to be a bit cheaper. Or perhaps discount at longer stays. Thank you

SloveniaThe faucet in the sink should be better secured. Mow the lawn on the terrace. We missed the towel and swimsuit drying rack.
More than a great choice for the one night we spent in this accommodation. The accommodation is nicely maintained and clean. In the bungalow we had 2 terraces, 2 separate rooms, shower and bathtub in the bathroom. More than enough space for all luggage. The breakfast included in the price of the night was varied and delicious.
