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...).

RomaniaThe walls are pretty thin, and sometimes you can hear more than you’d like, but it’s not like they can rebuild the place to change that.
I stayed at Fantastic Matala for more than a week, and I must admit I found more than I could hope for: a combination of comfort, convenience, and hospitality. One of the standout features was how super clean the place was. I really appreciated the fact that they adapted to my routine and managed to refresh my room in the morning, allowing me to rest during the hottest hours of the day. The bed was incredibly (!) comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep, while great water pressure, strong WiFi and effective AC added to the convenience. The delicious morning cakes were a delightful treat, while Natasha and her family were extremely nice, always welcoming and responsive, making my experience there even more enjoyable. The location is ideal, with easy access to the beach, shops and tavernas. Everything was a couple of minutes away, soothing to be able to go back and forth whenever needed. All in all, Fantastic Matala is truly fantastic. Thank you & see you next time!

United States of AmericaIs a family run business so you feel you are in somebody’s house instead of a hotel. you get the feeling of been watch every move you make lol was like living with my mother.
The property is a family run business, the studio was super clean as they clean your studio every day. The room was very confortable in a nice environment with a small patio to yourself. The apartment is located one block from the Main Street full with restaurants and about two blocks from the beach.

I loved the location as it was two minutes from shops, restaurants and the beach. The hosts were very welcoming and kind. I looked forward to treats of fresh fruit and cakes everyday. The room was spacious and spotless; beds were very comfortable and the air con was a god send. The room also had a fridge to store goods. The shower had the right pressure. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

GermanyMatala was our second destination on Crete after Heraklion. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The place is touristy but not overcrowded in May. The most beautiful is the 'Red Beach' which, however, had to be reached on foot what is not easy but manageable.

United KingdomThe best hotel I have stayed in, the staff were so welcoming, kind and always willing to help. Every day a little slice of cake was left out which I really appreciated and thought was so sweet. This hotel is in a perfect location and you can get to the beach in under 2 minutes. I couldn't recommend it enough. I will definitely be staying here again 😁
