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 KingdomFantastic pool and outside seating/dining areas. More than enough comfortable sun beds and the sunset view from the pool was just amazing. The location was perfect 5-10 minute walk into the town where there are an array of shops, bars and restaurants. The long and beautiful beach is approx 15 minute walk from the property. Thank you to George & Silvia who were the perfect hosts, so kind, warm and welcoming and not forgetting our cleaner Joanna.

Polandwe found some of the kitchen utensils a bit lacking, also toaster would we a good idea to be added, having a cleaning lady coming every day is a nice thing, but when the weather outside gets bad and you want to stay in the apartment, this could be skipped
the location, the view, the apartment is just outstanding, but I advise you to have a car for the best and comfortable experience the owner is a great guy and very friendly absolutely recommended spot if you plan to stay in Chania region

United KingdomThe only thing I think that could be improved upon is maybe enclosed showers in all the rooms. We all used one bathroom as I didn't want the kids flooding the other ones!
Location was great near enough to shops and restaurants but far enough away from them to not hear the noise. Beach also close by.

United KingdomBeing picky, it would been better if there was a gate on the drive as my two year old was determined to run off and disappear into the surrounding olive groves which made relaxing a little difficult at times. Also, while a cleaner came daily, there was no hoover or other cleaning equipment available (that I could find) so cleaning up after the little one wasn't as easy as it could have been. The local beach isn't great and Platanias is quite expensive in terms of shopping and eating out in comparison with other areas, but you can jump on a bus and get about easily and we were there for the pool so that wasn't an issue. We'd definitely return in future.
Fantastic property with an amazing pool and beautiful gardens. The host we met (George) was very friendly and although he and his partner live on site but we hardy saw them and certainly weren't lacking privacy so don't let that put you off. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The villa is set back from the beach with an amazing view and only one other property overlooks it so it's very secluded. At night the pool is lit up with changing coloured lights that made evening swimming a magical experience!

GermanyEverything was perfect, so nothing
It is an amazing property, with incredible sea view and beautiful garden with pool. The place is spacious, equipped really well with everything you may think of, including gas grill. I would like to mention also our great host George, who was ultimately helpful and kind all the time. Even allowed us to check-in really-really late night. Also to check-out later, because of our bad timing

PolandThe stay at Villa Varouxakis exceeded our expectations! everything was simply fantastic, great pool with a view, nice outdoor area to eat and hang out, spacious and comfortable villa (each room with a separate bathroom). Walking distance to the main street in Platanias with shops, bakery, bars and pubs and local beach. Great spot for the trips to Elafonissi beach (1'15" drive), Falasarna beach (45" drive) and Laguna Balos (1'05" drive). Chania is only 20mins away. The hosts George & Silvia went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. George takes a great care of the property, outdoor and swimming pool area. He is very helpful and approachable, yet discrete, always there when you need him. We had a fantastic stay there and highly recommend the place! We will gladly come back one day. Thank you George & Silvia!
