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.).

What a wonderful seaside apartment in Crete. The room was huge and airy, and the balcony overlooking the sea was just stunning - especially in the evenings to watch the sunset. Had everything we needed, and nice and close to a variety of amenities.

United KingdomVery little! A place to hang the shower-head to allow a better shower would help, and we used up the kindly supplied coffee in a couple of days - that is our own fault though!
A studio apartment right on the sea-side, with good space for us as a couple. A balcony overlooking the sea and a small kitchen area made staying there a pleasure. Right by a number of restaurants, cafes and shops and a short walk from the main street in Gouves.

United KingdomGreat little apartment. Really wish I had booked the full front facing sea view though. I did have a bit of a view of the sea and it was pleasant to sit on the terrace for breakfast. lovely big bed and decent sized apartment. Wi-Fi was good and kitchen was well enough equipped for a short stay. Loved going to the pool area next door. Sonia was great as a host: responsive, friend and helpful.

Sonia is extremely kind, I received all the necessary information with pictures and instructions to enter the room. When I left, I was able to stay longer so that the children could sleep at lunch in the room. The apartment has two rooms on the ground floor, with a side view of the sea. The double bed is very comfortable , a double extendable sofa in the living room. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials, coffee filter, kettle and Sandwachmaker, we managed excellently and could cook for the children. Bathroom with hot water, hair dryer, shower gel and shampoo.the hotel's swimming pool is clean with warm water, a part with small water where children can play. Playground with slide, house, swing. 10-15 min walk to Aquarium, dinosaur park and theme museum. Heraklion half an hour away by car. There are many restaurants in the area, at the one next door you can serve breakfast for 6 euros, good food and a children's menu. We recommend 2Frends, cheap and very tasty food.
