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 bathroom was quite small. The hotel is not located in the city center.
The room was much bigger than what I expected. It had everything needed, including an equipped kitchen. I only had breakfast once but it was really really good. There is a very nice pool and terrace around it. The staff very welcoming.

NetherlandsUnexpected oasis of rest and calm, just behind a busy street. Beautiful communal space around the pool. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. Supersweet staff. Big supermarket next door. We loved having coffee and lunch at “The Jar”. Beautiful tree in the park behind the Jar, which you can find on Google Maps if you type in Ficus macrophylla 1870.

Excellent pool and room and customer service. Very nice breakfast too, and drip coffee machine in the room with samples of coffee and tea provided. Buses stop nearby. Easy walk downhill to the restaurants, seaside and the town. Two great cafes 3 minutes away, and a large supermarket next door.

Beautiful small hotel in a residential street just 10-15 minutes walk from the lively centre of Chania town - with the added bonus of a substantial supermarket just next door. The hotel grounds were very pretty and well kept; the lovely sparkling pool wasn't large but perfectly adequate for the number of guests and there were always sunbeds available. The staff were outstanding - especially the housekeeping ladies who worked so hard to keep the apartments and communal areas impeccably clean and with new towels every day and bed linen changed several times a week. We felt thoroughly spoiled and would definitely recommend the Creta Elena to anyone wanting to visit the bustle of Chania town but sleep peacfefully at night.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike - it’s a lovely property.
Our studio apartment was kept beautifully clean during our stay as were the outside communal areas. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful & accommodating loaning us a plug adapter, sorting breakfast when we were heading out very early on an excursion and replacing a flickering bulb within minutes of being informed. The pool area and garden areas are beautifully maintained. It’s a real oasis of calm hidden behind an extremely busy street - you genuinely don’t hear road noise at all. We opted for breakfast but the supermarket is next door so you could easily cater for yourself as many other guests did.

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.
