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.).

Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We felt very welcome. The hotel was rather calm when we were there so we had the pool to ourselves. We rested on the sun beds and enjoyed the sunset from there. Very good breakfast, every day a little different. Nice location, close to the city center and not noisy at all.

United KingdomThe fridge was very old and looked unclean. It needs replacing as isnt up to the standard of the rest of the room/building. We mentioned that the air-con was not working properly (the room was very hot and stuffy) A staff member came to look and tried to reset everything, told us it was ok, but it still didn’t work. It was very uncomfortable in the room, but as we were only staying for one night we didn’t want to waste more time trying to get it sorted. We had to open the windows in the night which was not ideal.
Situated below the Venetian Fort and in Old Town Rethymnon. Quirky property with lovely central courtyard, which our room and balcony overlooked. We had a generous sized junior suite, with a seating area, large double bed, bathroom and small kitchen area with fridge. Lots of restaurants and shops within short walking distance. A space in the car park opposite the apartments can be reserved when booking. Staff were helpful

SwitzerlandVery friendly staff! We were more than two hours early for check-in but could already go to our room. The car park is a big plus and is easily reachable without having to navigate the whole city. We stayed only one night but would have stayed in this hotel for longer stays too. Thank you again!

GreeceTo say the junior suite has a kitchenette is stretching it a bit. No microwave or oven, just a two ring hob, kettle and coffee machine. Nice big fridge, though. We were only there two nights so it didn’t really matter, but if you were there for longer and fancied cooking for yourselves one night you couldn’t do much more than pasta. The bathroom all worked and there was lots of hot water, but it was old fashioned and really needed updating. For instance still an old plastic shower curtain, not a screen, and the hairdryer was barely adequate with no heat control or speed control.
Superb location close to the fortress and with easy access to the old town. The free private parking is a massive advantage. The staff were delightful and spoke excellent English. The breakfast was nice although not as extensive as some hotels. Our room (a junior suite) was spacious and comfortable. Balcony was nice to have but tiny. We would definitely go there again.

The location of the hotel is wonderful for the old town, staff were superb, giving advice and recommendations. Absolutely huge bonus is that the hotel comes with free parking, essential if like us you hire a car to travel the island.

IrelandThe breakfast area is on the small side. The room decor could do with a small modernisation. The small kitchenette and sink in the corner seem out of place, as is the bathtub with curtains.
Excellent location. Parking included which is a bonus. Friendly and attentive staff. Room was clean and fine. The place is cosy and functional. Good breakfast. Easy access to the old town and restaurants in 5 minutes walk. Not noisy at all.

United KingdomLack of parasols on the roof terrace, but that is due to a civic law, so not the Hotel’s fault
We loved its position with a view of the Fort and ability to walk into the old harbour and old town. The car park was a boon as parking is very difficult within old Rethymno  There was a dinky pool in which to cool off after exploring on foot or further afield. The bed was extremely comfortable and having Aircon in the bedroom area was very necessary.
