Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PolandIt is perfect hotel for holidays. We spent there 2 fantastic weeks. Great people are running this family hotel! Good location, close to the beach, center of Rethymno and restaurants and bars but it iat the same time veru quiet. All is perfectly clean, rooms are very cosy and geusts feel like at home. If you are tired at the beach it is nice to stay on the roof top with jacuzzi and sunbeds and relax in quiet atmosphere and at the evening there is nice sunset view. We felt ourselves like we were coming there since years. All thanks to charming Dora, her father and all the other people who are extremely kind and helpfull. For sure we want to come back! Thanks!

On our last day our flight was in the evening and we were allowed to check out a little bit later so that we could make use of the facilities. Thank you so much, we had a lovely stay!!

GermanyThe room at White Swan was very clean and spacious. We appreciated the quietness and location as it was very close to the beach and had a good distance to the old town of Rethymno. The rooftop pool was very cute and a nice place to just hang out. What we loved the most was the personal. Everybody was exceptionally nice and helpful.

BulgariaWe so enjoyed our terrace we couldn't visit the roof pool and garden. Next time, because we will return!
Amazing property. Rooms/Studios offer everything you need. The terrace was huge (we were lucky) offering shade all day. Very modern design and well arranged bathroom. Excellent location - very close to the beach and few of the best restaurants/cafes in the city. Nice gift at departure. Easy parking at the location or close by.

Perfect location - clise to the beach and walkable distance to old city. Free public parking nearby. Many restaurants, cafes, supermarkets for your choice. The hotel itself is extremely clean, newly-built, super comfy and spacious considering it's in the city center. The receptionists and owner are so friendly, making us immediately feel home. We also loved the roof top jacuzzi and sunbed area which makes us felt like an oasis away from the busy beach and street but still be part of it since you can see the sea view from it. It was the perfect place to stay in Rethimno and we 100% recommend to couple/family to stay at White Swan!

Very nice and clean hotel on a great location - just a few minutes from the beach and close to the old town. Although it is a busy area, the owner of the hotel provided a free parking spot just in front of the hotel for us. Above all, the stuff in the hotel was exceptional - when we arrived they welcomed us with a traditional raki drink and when leaving they gifted a bottle of home-made olive oil and a bag of sage tea to us. We really enjoyed our time in the hotel and definitely would like to come again.
