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.).

AustriaThe room we stayed in was a bit small. But there’s a cupboard in the room, so there’s enough storage available. If you have big suitcases just put it on top of the cupboard. You cannot charge your belongings (laptop, phone, whatever) once you leave the room, because there’s only one electricity card and you cannot separate the card from the room keys. So also the AC is off once you leave the room. But once you come back and are able to turn it on again, the room cools down very fast.
Clean room, very friendly staff/family. Close to the beach and in the center of Matala. Very quiet, so you can sleep well. Comfortable mattresses. Good Wifi. Parking is free, only 1-2 min walk from the hotel. Great balcony. There’s also a little kitchen and a fridge in the room, lovely.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like but a black out liner on the patio door curtains would be a nice extra.
Great location, friendly family owned business. Compy beds and room serviced daily. Free parking in a locked carpark. Fridge and small selection of utensils and plates, everything you needed. We would not hesitate to return and stay again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

SwitzerlandNothing, it was a delightful stay ! We wish we could have stayed longer with Doria and her family
The location is perfect to explore Matala and the Red beach on the other side. The garden of the house is very cute, we had a spacious terrace, too, and the bed was very confortable. On top of everything, and the most important, Doria is an absolute gem - we stayed for one night and she welcomed us like we were going to stay for a month. Thanks a million Doria for your kindness, all the best for you and for your sweet family, too. Camille and Maël

CanadaThat you had to keep all the doors and windows closed to use A/C unit. I like the windows open for fresh air and a fan going. And you can use the fan on the unit and it’s the only one.
The staff and owners were very friendly and the place was close to everything! Walking

They offered coffee and cake when we arrived which was a nice touch. I believe it was the grandmother that made the cake. The place just made you feel good.

BulgariaWe were at the ground floor so we had to keep the curtains always shut, but soon we knew everyone as they were passing by us on the way in/out:) The place is so relaxed, no noise, no parties - this could be a positive actually!
Natasa will do the impossible to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The property is located just behind the main street, 5 mins walk to the beach and shopping street. The apartment has everything needed, nothing fancy but practical. In the morning your tummy will be filled with sweets. Efharisto!

GermanyMatala Beach can be a bit touristic, we preferred Red Beach. Simple 20 min walk over a small hill. Very easy, no hike. The rooms were rather small.
The Hotel is just 2min of the main road and very quiet. The town is pretty touristic, but still you can find very friendly people and great places to eat. Maybe stay away from the very inexpensive places and all is good. Red Beach is great and we drove to other ancient places, hikes and beaches. Very easy to get around. Overall we had a perfect time. Many things to see, nice hosts, great food, wonderful water.
