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...).

United KingdomThere was a bar downstairs which on occasion played very loud music however earplugs were supplied in the room.
Lovely accommodation in a perfect location. Communication was good and I was pleased to be permitted to leave my bags there until I could check in to the room which was a big help. The room exceeded expectations and the little welcome touches much appreciated. I would recommend and definitely stay there again if I came back to Chania.

ChinaI'm 160cm tall, which was inconvenient in the movie, but my husband and Thirteen, who are 180cm tall, were too short and accidentally had my head cut off many times. The bedroom is a bit boring. Everything else is fine.
The location is very good.

Very nice rooms, super well located with a beautiful view over the ancient walls. They leave oranges (and a bottle of water) in the fridge every day, so you can make a fresh juice in the morning.

EstoniaThere really wasn’t much to not like. Just for other people to know: because it is in the center, there are bars around and one is right below the apartments, so it gets quite loud at night.
This place has an amazing location, right in the center of the Chania Old town. Just a few minutes away from the port and very close to all the municipal parking areas. The owner had left clear instructions on parking options, how to find the place etc. There was some water, raki and oranges waiting for us, it was a very nice surprise.

United KingdomThe smell when entering the room wasn't the best. Cucumber and onions kinda smell. The place was clean and everytime we came back from our trips on the island, someone would come in and tidy the room. Now, I am not sure I felt comfortable with that. It felt intrusive in a way and comforting in the other. Although, we stayed for 3 nights the towels have never been changed.
The location was in the centre, so we enjoyed not having to travel far. Air con was a plus. The place was clean and everytime we came back from our trips on the island, someone would come in and tidy the room in our absence. Mostly the bed. I even found my pijamas folded.

United KingdomWe received the precise directions for the procedure on arrival after we had left the UK so were unsure what to do when we arrived. We phoned the number on our booking confirmation and were given the key codes for entry and the names of our 2 rooms. However, one of the keys did not fit the room and it was already occupied by someone else who opened the door when we tried to use the key.. We then had to ring again and explain it was occupied, and were given another room name and directions to it. We only knew there was a souvenir gift which we should have received when we returned home, and we certainly did not see anything left in the hallway. So we are still unaware what it was.
The quirkiness if the building and its location.

This a nice place to stay in the heart of chania with a very short walk to the harbour. The room was spacious. The bed was a little on the slop so we slept on the opposite end to fix this.

The old building is amazing, our room had a loft that our kids loved. The other bed was in a beautiful domed ceiling space. So much charm. They did a great job making a small space work for a family of 4.

GermanyAlthough some rooms are on a top floor, my room was above the nightclub and for me the music was a problem. If you don’t plan to be in the room much in the evening and plan to be out for dinner and fun late, then it’s not a problem, but bring good ear plugs just in case.
Central convenient location, beautifully designed room, comfortable bed, small functional kitchen, AC, a very personable interesting host.

CanadaLack of natural sunlight made it hard for us to see and lighting wasn't very good
Great location, very clean (they came every day to clean and replace the towels, which was awesome !!), and very helpful staff! They were very accommodating and provided us with water, snacks and treats. Our only wish is that there was more natural light in the studio but otherwise we'd totally recommend it! Wifi worked amazingly.
