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 KingdomWe literally loved everything about this hotel, and we will return, but a couple of things that might be of importance to other guests. It is a decent walk to the port and old town 20/25 minutes over typical greek pavements. It didn't bother us. In fact, we enjoy walking and the tranquillity of accommodation off the beaten track.There is a bus stop 20m from the hotel. Also, we didn't hire a car, but the only parking available is on the roads surrounding the hotels, which were constantly busy.
Creta Elena is a little gem in the city. Small, welcoming, family run and perfect. The ideal place to relax after a full day visiting the harbour and old town or going further afield to view the island. There was always a sunbed available or a table in the shade. Gentle music plays in the background, and there is sunbed/ table service from the small bar. The homemade smoothies are exceptional. There's a supermarket next door and the few local restaurants are very reasonable as the hotel is away from the tourist areas. Our apartment on the 1st floor was well proportioned, recently renovated and super clean. Great air con, wifi, and shower.

United KingdomThere is no bar as such, this would have been nice for the evening before heading out. They do serve a few drinks, but not an actual bar area as such. There are a few places in walking distance, so not the end of the world!
Very nice poolside, lovely breakfast every morning, great service, very clean, & daily room cleans.

United KingdomA capsule style coffee machine would be nice instead of the sachets.
Easy check in and check out even after reception hours, staff was very helpful and friendly throughout. Courtyard area is well maintained and quiet, pool size is very good with shallow end for kids, we really enjoyed it. Room was good size, very clean and air con worked well. Good location, old town area with restaurants and sights is only a very short walk away. Parking is on the street but never had issues finding a spot in front. There is a supermarket next door and a greengrocer a few doors down, coffee shop very near too, all convenient.

Cleanest place I reckon I've ever stayed. Super friendly staff who answered any questions we had. Lovely pool to relax in during the day with also the option to order some nice drinks. It's only a short walk into town. Also having a supermarket literally as your neighbour was so incredibly handy.

ArgentinaThe neighborhood is not that nice. It's not bad either but we weren't amazed by it.
The check-in was amazing. The front desk/reception people were always very helpful. We even forgot a jacket after our check out and we had already left town and they even offered to mail it to us wherever we wanted. They also gave us very clear instructions for the check-in, etc. Super nice people. The hotel is very nice, it as a decent pool and the rooms are very comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was all good and the beds were comfortable as well. It had a small kitchen that served the purpose very well and we felt very well during our stay. We would come back there.

United KingdomOur suite (105) had a balcony overlooking an internal garden which wasn't well looked after, being mostly weeds. It could have looked better. This is a minor niggle though....
Located in the city within easy walking distance of the Old Town. Clean modern facilities, with the ability to self cater and a pool. Staff couldn't be more helpful, our suite was made up daily and kept spotlessly clean. We would return in a heartbeat.

Amazing stay in a beautiful quiet area of chania. Very close walk to old town. The staff are exceptional. They accommodated are very early check in having got off an overnight ferry. If room is not ready they can store your bags and let you hang out at pool. They are also happy for you to store bags upon checkout and again hang out at pool before your flight out. The pool service is great and the fruit smoothies they make are delicious and healthy. I loved everything about this hotel. Breakfast was exceptional with the beautiful details. Beds are super comfortable and plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers

Thailandnothing really.
I got the room with the biggest balcony that I enjoy watching the start at night from a beach chair. Staff are very friendly and super helpful, as well as the cat name Leon. The pool is quite big and never too crowded. I love to have my day start with an iced Fredo Espresso by the pool with some homemade cake from their cafe. Seem like most ppl stay here with a family, not only tourist but also lots of greek ppl. Room is spacious for the price. Its a kind of basic service apartment, nothing fancy but have have everything you would need for your stay. The location is superb, next to big supermarket and cafes, short walk to beach and old town. Will definetly stay here again
