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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IsraelThe weather was too windy, so take under consideration that it might be a problem if you plan to travel in mid October.
The room and the view was amazing and the staff was extra helpful and super nice. We felt like they done the best they could to make us feel welcome and to make sure we maximize our fun. The hotel is amazing and built in a very sophisticated and comfortable way. We traveled with a 10 months old and the staff was super considerate and very helpful with arranging all the baby stuff.

Stunning hotel! Loved our room with a large lounge pool and the twinkly lights in the main pools. We really enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was excellent. Plaka is a lovely village with some nice restaurants and shops and just a 5 minute walk from Cato.

United Kingdommy only suggestion would be from an energy perspective, we didn't need towels changing every day. I like the idea that you can place on the floor if you need them changing, otherwise they can last a few days.
Wonderful location with views of the sea and Spinalonga Island. We walked each evening the ten minutes to Plaka village for dinner. The breakfast was amazing! every possible need catered for, from cereal, fresh fruit bar, yoghurts, many types of bread, pastries, cakes, waffles, pancakes, hot food, juices, prosecco! Staff were lovely! wonderful poolside bar for lunch, great food and cocktails! Made use of the gym to account for all the excellent food! The accommodation was very clean, attended to daily as was our little pool. Proper coffee machine, fridge, water provided daily. The accommodation was on many levels to optimise the views, a cable car is provided to take you up. We rode on it to take in the view from the top!

A beautiful hotel with absolutely stunning views. Has a very new and spotlessly clean feel. The staff were amazing friendly and attentive throughout. The “cable car” style lift was very unique and lovely to use. They have a beach bar which is also great and very comfortable sun beds, with waiter service, which are free for hotel guests. The walk to the beach, beach bar and village is only 10 mins max but there is also a free shuttle that runs all day, on demand, especially if you don’t feel like the walk back uphill. When we booked it in the day at the beach bar, they gave us ice cold water and an ice cold towel while we waited (all of about 3 minutes!!). A true sign of quality. The food in the hotel was good but we ate a lot at the restaurants on the seafront. Many great ones to choose from and beautiful settings. Would highly recommend CAYO and Plaka

GermanyIt was not easy getting places at the beach - given you pay so much for the hotel they should have a possibility to reserve or come up with another process.
It was our second time and we loved it just as much as the first. The luxury provided by the hotel in combination with the local Plaka village feeling is perfect for us.

IsraelReally minor things that wouldn't change our decision, but if I had to say something: There was no shade in the pools (except specific area in one pool), food in the room service was ok. The beach was pretty disappointing, you can use the hotel sunbed only if there are free ones, however, it is open to everyone (not only hotel guests) and if the beach is crowded you might not have a bed.
The hotel is stunning, we loved the facilities and the space. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. The hotel is super clean. The view is great. We stayed in a private pool room, which was worth it.
