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.).

CanadaRoom was quite small with limited servicing. Only two towels and one bathmat for three nights.
Nice little room in a fantastic location at the corner of the beach. Common deck area was wonderful seltered from the wind with great view and comfortable seating. Lots of restaurant options nearby. Great access to the Dead Man's Gorge walk.

PolandIt's not I did not like, because we were prepared, but the room is very small and there was no way to cook anything. There is a kettle, a small fridge, and plates - you can make small breakfasts or cold meals easily but you won't cook there. Before I came I was sure I would eat outside - but it's just a warning for those who might expect to cook full meals in the apartments.
The Apartments are small but cozy - we stayed on for 2 nights, and we spent most of the time outdoors. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. In front of each there is table with chairs, and there is a common terrace with a beautiful view on the sea and the sunrise! The rooms have a window view partly on the sea - so be aware, you are going to fall asleep with sound of the waves! There are mosqitieras in the windows which is very nice! The bathrooms are clean and with great water pressure! If you are looking for the quiet remote place, with direct access to the sea in the very remote village (yes there are few tavernas but there is no shop) and you wanna just relax - or you wanna have nice spot to amazing places in the area (gorges/beaches etc)- that's the perfect place to stay. The beach in front the building is very nice and the water is crystal clear! The Zakro's Georg is worth to make! Amazing places! I'm sure I will be back here. And Athena's apartments have a lot of regular customers who are coming back each year (we met some)! :)

United KingdomNothing I can think of.
The incredible view of the sea from the window and from the shared terrace. The sound of waves crashing on the beach to fall asleep to (and wake up to). Charmingly decorated rooms which, although small, seem to have most things you need: fridge, kettle, cafetiere, cups, bowls, plates and cutlery. Clothes line for drying Perfect location on the beach, just 100 m or so from 3 restaurants open in early April. Try Nikos Platanikos if it's open. Just 200m or so from the amazing and well-interpreted Zakros Minoan Palace and the entry to Gorge of the Dead which is easy and spectacular. I'd rate Athena rooms at least 11/10 if I could!

United KingdomUnfortunately we were at Kato Zakros when the worst storm in living history hit. We lost power temporarily & Wi-Fi overnight for more than 24 hours but the hosts made a great effort to sort it as soon as they could. They provided advice about the safety of walking after the storm. The studio apartments are not that well equipped for self catering. There is a good sized fridge & kettle but only minimal cutlery & crockery. There are several tavernas down the steps from the studios.
Lovely location & very pretty studio apartment with a lovely outdoor space. The host also left us coffee, tea, water, juice etc which felt very welcoming. She brought us cake after the storm.
