Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay at Cristal Studios. Perfect location for exploring many parts of the island and for quiet rest as well. Very close to beautiful beaches. Our hosts, Mikos and June were very helpful and accommodating. Our room was clean and we had all the amenities we needed to prepare our own food. Overall it was a 5 star experience.

DenmarkWe wanted to relax after a very hectic year and switch off. Succeeded!
Beautilful and spacy accomodation with a lot of privacy. We were there in September, lovely temperature. The studio is high up on the mountain, so a car is needed. Hosts were very attentive, everything is very clean. There are not so many shops, so we advice to bring basic food needs. The beach close by is breath taking. Thank you so much, for such a great experience. We are from Denmark.

ItalyThe host was very kind, he took care of us when we needed something. The apartment is nice, with a lovely patio to relax yourself after the sea. The location is very nice, Zola is a small place in the north of the island, perfect if you want to stay far away from the crowd. From Zola you can reach easily some beaches by car and go on a trip by boat to discover other beautiful beaches. Absolutely recommended.

Romania- Host: very friendly and welcoming, who will provide you with good recommendations for the area, just ask; - Location: Zola, where Cristal Studios are located, is a small & quiet little village on the slopes above the beaches of Agyia Kiriaki and Vouti and where after 7 pm the entire village is in shadow, so the sea breeze from cools all the area; nearby, at a walking distance, you have a restaurant and 15 minutes by car across the valley there is a grocery store; at the foothill in the marina close to Kiriaki beach you'll find taxi boats with which you can reach beaches like Fteri, Manta, Amidi, Myrtos, etc. - Property: very well maintained, everything is functional and very clean room and bathroom; every third day towels were changed and once a week bed linens were also changed; - Parking: Private parking place just in front of the property is provided at no extra charge; - Amenities: kitchinette is provided with all you'll need including a mid sized fridge, electric stove including 3 burners, kettle and dishes; table for four inside and outside on the terrace; - Sleeping: the double bed was confortable and there was also an expandable sofa; - Appliances: 32" flat tv with tv channels; wifi via main router and a signal extender with acceptable signal for laptops (not that good though wifi signal for smartphones in our room); good 5g gsm coverage in the area though;

PolandThere was nothing that we did not like,although make sure you have a car as the nearest grocery drive is about a 10-minute drive.
The location. Cosy little village on the hillside surrounded by dramatic landscape of a bay and mountain that changes its colours throughout the day. A 5 min walk to a local enjoyable taverna and 5min drive down the hills to the secluded beach made just for snorkelling between massive fallen rocks. The place itself meticulously maintained by the embodiment of a Greek culture, friendly and welcoming Mikelis and his wife June. He's always there for local tips and hints how to best sightsee the island and ease you into that holiday mode. Thank you for all the beautiful conversation we had in your garden either with a sunset over the bay or full moon, relaxing on the sunbeds. The rooms are properly set with all that you will need if you fancy a go at preping greek food yourself from local markets. Zola is a great spot to explore the rest of the island,such as well-known fiscardo and myrtos Beach! What's also worth mentioning is that every morning at 9.00, a lovely lady with a red van would come and sell fresh bread and pastries! Apple pie is for a win!;) We came all stressed from London City and came out completely relaxed and charged with positiviness! We are missing this place so much! I'm hoping we can return there soon enough! With Love Anna and Rafael!

United KingdomThe wifi connection was lost as soon as we were outside the studio (though this was not a concern for us). A few extra utensils in the kitchenette would be useful e.g. bread/chopping board, large spoon for stirring/serving, vegetable peeler. However, these are very minor points!
Lovely quiet location - good for exploring the north and west of the island. Mikalis was so welcoming and we enjoyed our chats with him. The studio was cleaned daily and rubbish taken away (thanks, June!). The studio was spacious and very comfortable. There was a good range of pots and pans in the kitchenette for those nights when we ate in. There was no-one staying in the studio next to us so we had the beautiful courtyard (rear) to ourselves. Mikalis encouraged us to help ourselves to the figs (absolutely delicious!), grapes and lemons in the courtyard. On one occasion Mikalis brought us a glass of his homemade wine, on another a plate of watermelon, and another some prickly pears - these touches, along with the friendliness of the hosts/owners made it a special experience.
