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 found the location didn't suit us but that is purely personal.
Eleni and her staff are just lovely. The hotel is perfect for anyone who wants to relax away from the hustle and bustle of Chania centre. The views from the terrace are jaw dropping.

North MacedoniaIf I could pick something out it would be the carpets in the room. I think it would be more clean without them. Some of the furniture could also be upgraded, but its not a big deal, didnt affect our stay at the hotel.
The hotel had a retro vibe with really interesting and simple decor with a feeling like you are at home. Smelled really nice, well lit hallways and garden area, one bar and one restaurant overlooking the pool, where breakfast was served. Palm trees and lovely bloomed flowers really gave a paradise like feel to the place. The owners were really nice and helpful, they made us feel even better on our holiday. Breakfast was freshly served every morning, fresh orange juice, eggs and bacon, home made yogurt with honey, lovely little desserts and even tho it didnt have lot of choices was really nice. Pool was big and with warm water during the day and night, perfect for relaxation after the beach. The room was spacious with two big balconies, one overlooking the pool and the sea, with an amazing views. Had all the needed amenities. I really liked the double window doors of the balconies with good sound isolation. Since most of the guests arrive by a car, as we did, the parking of the hotel was spot on, even had shadows from the hot sun under some well groomed trees. Location of the hotel is great for exploring the island, since its on a main street, you dont need to go into the busy town to get to all the beaches.

United KingdomThe hotel is run by a really wonderful family. Their care and attention are unmatched in our experience. This was our second stay and we weren't disappointed. Breakfast, views, pool etc. are all wonderful. If there is anything at all out of place, they will always make an effort to put it right. In fact, they go out of their way to assist and advise.

United KingdomOnly reservation we have in recommending this delightful hotel is if you cannot tolerate a background of traffic noise from the adjacent road. We soon found that it melted into the background.
the family who own the hotel were exceptionally kind and friendly and could not do enough for you. The view from the hotel was very good and it had a pretty garden and lovely trees. the pool was extremely clean. The rooms were cleaned very well. breakfast choice was good with a friendly atmosphere amongst the residents and staff. Good and safe parking. Useful little shops nearby. if you wish you can have a evening meal at the small hotel bistro.

SpainIt is a very cute hotel run by the loveliest family, they treated my friends and I so well from the minute we got there. They have great breakfast service and an amazing swimming pool, also the coffee is delicious. The room was really spacious for 4 people and all the beds were so comfortable. The public transportation connections to the city centre are great as well, the bus station is literally a min away from the hotel and it takes only like 15 to get there. I will definitely be going back if I visit Chania again, thank you so much for your hospitality :)

United KingdomThere is some road noise but it didn’t trouble us.
We felt very warmly welcomed by Eleni and her family at Monte Vardia from the moment we arrived on holiday and left as friends. The staff (mostly family) were friendly yet discreet and professional. The hotel is a short taxi ride to Chania so we had both the benefit of being close to this charming and lively town, yet also had the peace and quiet of the hotel with its beautiful views over the sea to retreat to. Breakfast and dinner was also very good quality and lovely to have this served overlooking the pool. I would recommend a visit if you can make it to Crete Botanical Park. The park and it’s restaurant was one of the highlights of our visit.

United KingdomThe beds were not too comfy a bit lumpy and springy and had rough uncomfortable sheets. For someone with sensitive skin it was a bit more difficult.
Loved the staff, so very friendly and kind Loved the pool area, clean and comfortable. Loved the location, the balcony views and room facilities such as air con which was welcomed with the extreme heat. The hotel drinks prices were fair. Right next to bus stop so easy to travel into the heart of the city. Cleanliness overall was very good.
