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.).

Staff and owner, Arif were exceptional in making our stay comfortable and relaxing. I've never come across such a level of dedication and service. It really made a difference. Well done Arif.

United KingdomI always like a kettle in the room to make a cuppa but this was hardly a big deal … not difficult to get a decent cup of tea in Turkey!!
The hotel was really lovely - good size, clean rooms with little balconies to sit out on and drying lines and pegs. Decent bathrooms with hot water, large towels and toiletries - spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. The swimming pool is proper swimming size and the lounging area is secluded. The bar area is delightful and the buffet breakfast delicious with lots of variety. The hotel has more of a ‘boutique’ vibe than the pictures suggest. The best thing though is the manager and team. They all care so much and nothing is too much trouble. I hurt my ankle walking the Lycian Way so they arranged a car to pick us up, moved our rooms to bottom floor, sorted an ice pack etc. We were comfy in the bar one night (in our fave spot), so a local restaurant brought us food over. Proper customer service - not OTT or too present - we just felt safe and looked after. Highly recommend. ( the local village and local cafes/restaurants all super lovely too)

We spent 8 wonderful nights at the Dardanos Hotel and had an excellent experience throughout our stay. Arif was a great host, always eager to offer suggestions on activities and local spots to visit or to assist when needed. The pool area was top-notch, providing a relaxing atmosphere, and the rooms were both spacious and immaculate. Breakfast was delicious, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was welcoming and comfortable.

We stayed at the Dardanos Hotel for x3 nights and couldn’t fault the hotel. Arif was such an accommodating host, happy to spend time to recommend things to do or places to go, and went out of his way to help you organise things. Swimming pool area was great, rooms were a decent size and clean, and breakfast was great.

Fantastic family-run, small hotel. Good location just off the main square near all the restaurants in the village. Garden is very nice to relax in and have a drink, pool is good to relax by. Rooms are clean and modern. Owner and family could not be more helpful and charming. Lots to do nearby - Patara beach and ruins are wonderful.

United KingdomA perfect sanctuary outside of busy Kalkan. Breakfast was lovely, eggs prepared daily to your personal preference. Staff were friendly, helpful and kind. A quiet and pretty pool area. 10 minute taxi ride to Kalkan for busier vibe for younger family members. Food and drinks cheaper in Patara for the same quality.

United StatesEverything was really good. If anything I would make it clear that the hotel is not on Patara Beach (because no hotel is really-the info on Booking.com needs to be corrected which the management is working on) and some hot water kettle with tea in the rooms would be a plus. But these are just suggestions.
Arif, the manager and his staff went above and beyond. The little town of Gelemis, where the hotel is located is lovely too. Arif made many useful suggestions that helped our experience. The courtyard is lovely and peaceful and the swimming pool is clean. Air conditioning worked really well during a heat wave and the balconies were small but really nice.

RomaniaWe absolutely loved the place and the staff. The owner is such a nice and helpful person, always smiling and trying to do everything to make you feel welcome and enjoy your holiday. The room was very clean and confortable, the garden and the pool were amazing, and in the evening you can relax at the bar area. The breakfast was also very good. Just outside the hotel there are many restaurants and shops. We had a great time here.

United StatesThe isolation between the rooms is not ideal, bring ear plugs and you should be fine.
I really loved the location and the village itself, the unpretentious, authentic and cosy atmosphere of the hotel and the dedication of the hosts who are always available, smiling, in a good mood and giving great advice. The pool and its facilities are also perfect: good orientation, comfy sunbeds, sun umbrellas. The hotel also has a nice bar where it is nice to get drinks after walking to watch the sunset. The breakfast was also excellent: there is indeed real and quality coffee (expressos, cappucinos...), a lot of fruits, fresh bread, simit... and you get eggs. You can go to the beach with the shuttle and in the evenings you can totally walk up the hill to go watch the sunset. I had a very relaxing holiday which went beyond my expectations given the excellent value for money, thanks a lot!

GermanyWe had such a great time! Beautiful place to stay with very warm welcoming people running the place. The rooms are charming and very clean. The breakfast was great with superb high quality selection of fruits & salad, cheeses, yoghurt, tasty honey, jam etc - the eggs are freshly prepared to your liking. The pool is clean and beautiful with all the flowers growing around a great place to relax for a quiet day. In the evenings you can enjoy at the garden bar! Location is also great - you can easily reach patara beach and neighbouring beautiful beaches like caputas. You can also venture out to see sights like saklıkent gorge, or go to kalkan or kas and ölüdeniz. Thanks again!

United KingdomAn oasis of calm and relaxation in Patara. Arif and the staff looked after us incredibly well and made us feel so comfortable at at home. Dardanos is in the centre of the town and a short walk from a number of great restaurants and a good range of shops. Just a few steps from the bustling street the world falls away and you can relax with a drink in the garden bar or beside the pool. The rooms are clean and comfortable, well appointed with air conditioning. The hotel offers a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit, pastries and cooked eggs and really well located; just a short drive from Kas, Kalkan, the mountains and the beach.
