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.).

United KingdomCommunication from owners , would panic alot of people , so the current system is walk up the stairs and there is a tiny notice board with your room and name number on it and your key will be hanging out your room front door ready for you , they offer a 40 euro taxi but if you have good flight times , there is a local bus service that drops off on the same road as apartment for 3.70 euro highly reccomended as it doesn't take that long to save some money . Pictures show a pool , very naughty miss leading at the time of my stay there is no pool on site , there is an empty pool on the next door apartments , so not sure if when this pool is full they share this but no indication for pool but a picture showing people on pool. Beaches and the sea are just amazing here so not end of the world.
Amazing value for money, air con was good 👍, fridge freezer in the room also was super amazing. Has its own balcony which was nice

United KingdomThe stairs can be a little steep on a hot day, but you get used to them. It adds to the character of the place and you wouldn’t get the sea views without them!
Fabulous location, amazing sea views, right near the bus stops both ways, so excellent for trips around the Island! 5 mins walk if that, to the main Stalis town and all the many restaurants and shops and supermarkets. 5 mins walk to the beach, lovely gardens with beautiful flowers and butterflies, birds chirping away (owner has some in the gardens), lovely and cool with the stone floors, all cooking amenities you need if want to cook, cheaper to eat out though! There are three lovely puppies onsite that greet you and if you wish you can adopt them for your stay! If not then they don’t bother you. Constant very hot water, good shower (typical old Greek style so if you keep your back to the wall you won’t get any water anywhere). I had local friends come to visit and they said it was like a traditional village house but in the middle of everything you need. I loved this place as soon as I arrived, and had booked to stay a week, and I immediately booked another week, and even then I extended again for a further two days. It’s great value for money and I would thoroughly recommend this place. Excellent stay and I will be recommending this to fellow travellers back home!

Wonderful apartments. at the foot of the mountain. I liked the vintage style of the studio room. All necessary household appliances and dishes are available. Comfortable soft bed. Terrace overlooking the sea. 3 minutes to the sea. The beach is sandy and wide. A little further towards Malia you can rent sun loungers for the whole day and buy something at the cafe-restaurant.

SerbiaWe found on the notice board that we are in apartment 7. This apartment is creepy place. The furniture is very old and the air smells of dampness and musty. Air condition did not work. The space around apartments 7 and 8 is neglected with bushes so that it was not safe to open the window. We call owner, texted on Viber, SMS and he finally answered. After a heated argument, he offered apartment 8 to us which is very simillar to no 7 exept a beautiful big terrace (apartment 8). Ultimately, the owner offered apartment no 1. Apartment number 1 we ended up staying was old but acceptible for price we paid. It was smaller then one we paid. The air in this apartment also smells of dampness but we opened the door and window. Air condition did not work properly. The door between the rooms, and between the rooms and the toilet, does not work in any of the apartments we were. The bed linen was not changed during 7 days of our stay. The maid tightened the same sheets. Owner did not ask how is in apartment 1. We paid in advance and he did not care if we were satisfied with accomodation or not.

NorwayWhen we booked the place we thought we would have access to the swimming pool, but it was closed and emptied through our whole stay. The place had very few places to charge our phones and devices. The air conditioning didn't cool down the bedroom, and the only solution was to use their fan that blew into our face the whole night. The kitchen drawers and cupboard reeked of musty mold. The kitchenette didn't have basic utilities like dishwashing soap, a sponge/brush, and a cleaning cloth, so we couldn't wash our dishes or pans, so we had to leave the place full of dirty dishes. We sent a message to the property and asked about these simple things, but we never received an answer.
Nice view, lots of space, lots of sofas and chairs to sit down in. Close to shops, restaurants, bus station and beach.
