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.).

the owner and her family were very friendly. the room had a view on the mountains and a shared balcony. the public bus stops right in front of the hotel. the food is nice.

United StatesThe mattresses are very firm and the building is a bit noisy (restaurant area echoes throughout the building), but not too big of a deal. We were tired and slept well.
Customer service was phenomenal. such nice people who went above and beyond to take care of us. This is located in a quaint mountain village and ideal for hiking the Samaria Gorge. Food at the hotel restaurant was delicious!

GreeceGood, no frills accommodation for the price but the TV in our room didn't work and we had to wait for hot water to be turned on to the room in the morning. If you are looking for a quick stop off to access all the amazing locations close-by, then this is perfect just expect it to be pretty basic.
Great location perfect for setting off for Samaria Gorge. Really friendly, helpful staff who even offerrd us a lift to the start of the gorge! Great, home-cooked food and fantastic portions. The complimentary yogurt and honey and the end of the meal was gorgeous with fresh, local honey.

EstoniaIn the morning there where so many guests from the city with a bus starting the hike, so the line for coffee was so long I actually walked cross the road to have coffee in the other hotel.
Nice big room, location is perfect- buses stop just in-front of the hotel. Restaurant in the hotel is very simple with home-food. Everything worked in the room, super simple but best for the price. Staff was very friendly also.

GermanyThere was/is a third member of staff who seems to deal with the bookings/paperwork. We (I had booked 2 rooms - 1 room for me and 1 room for my friend) checked in at 4pm and went across the road to eat/drink at the place opposite. At 9 pm, the male staff member shouted over to the waiter at the taverna saying that I needed to go and see him. I went to see him and he angrily said I had booked only 1 room. He had no evidence of this, whereas I had my booking.com confirmation. After 5 minutes of him shouting at me, the other two (nice) staff members said it had been sorted out.
The location is ideal if you are going to or returning from the gorge. It is also a nice drive up the mountain to reach the place. There were three members of staff. The lady and (I assume) her husband who dealt with check-in and the kitchen were very friendly.

This hotel is ideally situated if you plan to do the Samaria Gorge's trail: you can relax and enjoy a quiet moment before reaching the nearby Xyloskalo early in the morning. Our room was really big, clean, with a nice view on the mountains and the hosts were helpful.
