Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomEverything about our stay was perfect. Marily was the most wonderful host, and ensured we were completely happy at all times - anything we needed she was more than happy to help with - a true delight. The place was clean and beautiful, a lovely quiet location but super easy to get anywhere, and we had the best time there. Would highly recommend!

The villa complex is gorgeous with lemon trees, flowers & a lovely pool. The hosts were really friendly and gave us lots of tips on activities / beaches / restaurants. The free bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely gesture. We hired a car which is a must to get into Chania and explore beaches / areas further afield - we loved Falassarna beach! The property only has 5 apartments so it is lovely and peaceful and has beautiful views in parts of Chania. Would 100% recommend.

IrelandThe property is about 4km from Chania on a hill overlooking the town. There are no tavernas etc. nearby, so we walked down in the evening and got a taxi back. This was not a problem for us.
Excellent apartment, a small house really. Small complex with only about 6 apartments. Nice swimming pool. The host went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomNothing to do with the property, but we were considering not getting a car, and getting taxis down to Chania. You DEFINITELY need a car to go up and down the 10-15 minutes to the town centre and to explore the local beaches
Beautiful quiet setting above Chania town. Mariola was a fantastic host and after a long delayed flight and getting slightly lost in the middle of the night, she even drove to where we were to come and get us! Property was exceptionally clean, fantastic large pool for the size of the small complex, sun and shade all day, and a very peaceful place to wind down and relax.

United KingdomThe owner was on site waiting for our arrival, handed the key and showed to us the flat. Also, provided a free bottle of wine which I thought was an excellent gesture for the guest! We rented a car and you had beach 15-20 min drive. We went all the time to kalathas beach because of sport facilities and safety to use them there. Plenty of options of restaurants and bars. Definitively I will recommend this place to stay.

My partner and I absolutely loved our week stay at Villa Pefki. Marily and her family made us feel very welcome from arrival and were on hand with great local tips. We loved the location, slightly outside of Chania, as it felt like a real escape from the business of the town. We always looked forward to returning for a refreshing dip in the pool after a day in sun. You can walk to town, it takes about 45-60 minutes down the hill, and a taxi back is only €10. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed to make simple meals when we felt like it. To watch the sunset through the trees and over the sea every night was a real highlight. Thank you Marily, we hope to be back one day!

GermanyNo complaints. This place is truly exceptional.
Beautiful little paradise just a short car ride from central Chania with gorgeous views of the city and a forrest in the backyard. Our hosts Marily and Giannis were so friendly and gave us incredible tips of where to eat and visit on the island. We loved our apartment, which had ample room to relax and make food. We felt so at home. We enjoyed the pool during the afternoons and the little terrace in the evening. We were greeted with warmth and a bottle of local wine. We loved this place and can't wait to return again soon.
