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 StatesWe didn’t love having the bedroom upstairs. It wasn’t a negative for the apartment, but we probably wouldn’t book a unit like that again. We were afraid of falling down the stairs in the night if we took a wrong turn.
Cute apartment with balcony overlooking the port. Had everything we needed for a short stay.

United KingdomThe single snag was that the flush on the toilet in the downstairs bathroom would occasionally stick but you only have to flush it a few times and it sorts itself out.
The apartment exceeded our expectations - it looked great in the photos but it’s even better once you get there. The views from the balcony are lovely and the apartment itself is well decorated and well equipt. Our host, Nick was really friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, lovely shops and restaurants nearby. We spent quite a bit of time on Rethymno beach which was beautiful. Sandy beach with crystal blue water and even a beach bar. Lots of sun beds available - we did visit in September though so I’m not sure if this would still be the case during school holiday season. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

NetherlandsWe had the room without Harbour view. It can be quite noisy at night, especially in the weekend. It's accessible via a steep stair, so difficult for people with limited mobility.
The location is perfect at walking distance from the old town and the beach. It's very clean and the staff is extremely helpful and kind. It's also a big room, so good value for money.

United StatesWe had a rental car and parking is not provided, but we were able to drop bags at door and found public parking one block north at the waterfront lot with a very reasonable daily rate.
Beautiful apartment right on the water within the old city pedestrian zone, close to old city attractions and vibrant restaurant scene. View was superb, energy of restaurants just below was palpable. Immaculately clean, with a large soaking tub upstairs next to a king bed, and two well appointed bathrooms with nice showers, and full kitchen, which we did not use.

HungaryI would have liked to use a drying rack and an ironing board. It is annoying that the window next to the upstairs bathroom is not shaded. Despite this, I enjoyed my time here.
A well-located apartment with a huge selection of restaurants and shops just a few steps away. An ideal starting point for excursions. The terrace and the wonderful view compensate for the minor shortcomings.

United KingdomOnly tiny thing that was missing was some sort of towel rail or hook to hang up the large bath towels!
Amazing location and beautiful view. The balcony is amazing for people watching or relaxing with a drink in the evening. The room is modern and light, gets the morning sun. You feel like you’re right in the centre of the old town and within walking distance of hundreds of amazing restaurants. Nick was great at answering any questions and helping to assist with late check out/storing our bags. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay a few days in Rethymno old town.

AustraliaPerhaps some beach towels would be a bonus, but not essential and we bought some local inexpensive traditional towels for our morning swim - so we had a souvenir to take home!
Wonderful position overlooking old port. Very comfortable apartment that was light and airy with tasteful modern facilities in unique old property. Nick was a gracious host and very approachable.

United StatesThe place was perfect though we were given only one key for the apartment which made it challenging when one of us wanted to leave because the key also controls the electricity in the apartment.
This is a lovely spacious home incredibly located on the Venetian Harbor in the heart of old town. The conveniences of being able to wash clothes and cook for ourselves made the place even homier. The host, Nikos was helpful and friendly and close by if needed. The upstairs downstairs design gave ample space for relaxation.
