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.).

United KingdomPool/ beach towels could be left in the room for guests to use. A discount could be offered on the sun loungers offered by the restaurant connected to the hotel.
We loved our stay at Nostos. Great location, right on top of the beach in a small resort town. Room decor was beautiful, and was a good size. Balcony overlooked the pool and sea. 2 swimming pools, both well maintained and beds usually available. Would recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a relaxing break.

United KingdomThe daily charge of 15€ per sun lounger if wanted is ridiculous and seems to be controlled by the nostos sports staff as I overheard various price demands. I feel some discount as hotel residents would be fair.
Nice surrounding mountain/sea view. Well presented and tasty Breakfast. Friendly Staff. Clean. Bali is a beautiful small seaside town.

AustraliaOur stay too short. Prices for loungers 30 euro a set compared to exact same at next door bar for 25 euro. Charge for replacement beach towels after 3rd day at beach.
Terrific full buffet breakfast at Nostos with seating available outside with spectacular views. The two pools were fantastic and loved the swing loungers. Generally you could find a spot. Really fabulous bar/restaurant overlooking beach. Great vibe and food terrific options. Rooms were great size with plenty of storage, huge bed, seperate sofa and seating area and fantastic view of mountains with some sea views. Location brilliant and on the best beach in Bali. Lots of restaurants nearby, supermarket under hotel and on street at end of hotel (full range of produce). Restaurant always had seating available. Staff great in dealing with a noise issue we had.

United KingdomNothing at all
Our stay here was absolutely stunning. Everything is clean, the room was large and beautiful. The pools are gorgeous as is the retaurant. Location is perfect for a quieter getaway to just relax. Right in the middle of the beach strip of Bali. Sandy beaches, plenty of water activities, good food at the restaurant but also a lot of other fantastic restaurants in close proximity to try. No faults at all. The staff were accommodating and no issues holding our luggage for us after check out, booked our taxi back to the airport. Friendly and reliable.

AustriaWe were a bit disappointed by the facilities of the room. The room only had basic amenities, we could hear the water flushing from other rooms and the drainage in the bathroom was smelly. There have also been some flies in the bathroom which we couldn't get rid of. The room also only had one balcony door as window and was very dimly lit. It just didn't feel like a 4-star hotel...
We loved the location and the direct access to the beach. The stuff was friendly and we very much enjoyed our daily breakfast with a sea view. The facilities of the hotel (e.g., pools, terrace, restaurant) were well maintained and clean, though the pool side filled up quite quickly in the mornings.

United KingdomI have mobility issues and found it very difficult to get in and out of the pool using the small ladder, so only used the pool once, which was a shame as it was a lovely pool. It would have been nice to see some Greek Meze dishes on the menu. The food was very good and big portions but sometimes it's nice just to be able to share lots of small dishes. However, starters are available. Never enough milk, coffee and sugar left in the room. The staff on Reception were not so friendly. These are only our personal opinions and are only comments, as there wasn't anything to dislike.
Breakfast was amazing, so much choice. The views from the breakfast area were incredible. Our room was spacious and decor was lovely. Bed so big and comfortable, never slept in such a big bed! Lovely swimming pool. Evereywhere was immaculate. The bar was stunning and so relaxing with amazing views. It felt very special to have a private area on the beach for Nostos, sunbeds were comfortable and the whole beach experience was made extra special having David waiting on us. Lovely guy! And Stavros in the bar looked after us so well. All the staff were amazing! We felt very sad to leave and will definitely return.

Austriaperfect sand beach. large spacious rooms. excellent view from the window, if you are on the second floor, it does not matter whether it is a view of the mountains or the sea. It's good that you don't have air conditioning in the dining room, but only a windmill near the coffee machine. There is another one of the same kind missing in the opposite corner of the room. This allows people at least not to catch a cold while eating. Breakfast and dinner are not as mega varied as in 5-star hotels, but there is always plenty to choose from. and the food is very tasty. Thank you! I will definitely come to you again. p.s. You can get to the hotel and back from Heraklion from the KTEL bus station for 5.40 euros, but the bus is usually late by 15-30 minutes. The bus only runs every 2 hours!!!
