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...).

IsraelAs noted, we chose the remote location with a pool as a retreat, however this turned out not quite as we had hoped. All during the hot summer days, the swimming pool was infested with hundreds of thirsty wasps. The owners did make some attempts to control this after we complained, however it was more like closing the door after the horse had bolted, so the only time we were managed to enjoy the pool and the area around it was after 18:00 when it became shaded by the mountain, and the wasps were less active. This severely limited the amount of time we had hoped to spend just relaxing by the pool; besides we were all stung at least once! We investigated this, and with planning BEFORE the swimming season the number of wasps can be greatly limited. BUT this requires foresight, and we are most disappointed that we suffered because no care was taken in this regard. Steps were taken, but they were ineffectual. Also, a little update to the kitchen might enhance the overall experience for upcoming visitors.
We spent 10 days at the property, so we were able to get a good perspective. The secluded nature of the location offered a peaceful and private experience – it felt like we almost had the entire place to ourselves. We especially chose it because we wanted a true retreat. The views are magnificent, and you can hear the bleating of the goats browsing in the beautiful Cypriot brush all around. The mountain rises majestically behind the property and casts a shadow in the early evening, which was a relief in the burning summer heat. The air conditioning in the room worked efficiently, we would have been lost without it. The studio was comfortable and appointed in a ‘rustic’ design style – easily seen in the description photos. There is a terrace, which is nice for relaxing when it is shaded, and all the basic equipment is provided in the kitchen. It is about 10 minutes’ drive to the Krousonas, the local village on a very winding but beautiful drive, if you need basic supplies. Our host, Eleni, and her husband were genuinely hospitable, and communication in English was a breeze.

Arrived late in the evening on a motorcycle in pouring rain and wet to the bone, but the place and the owner made us immediately feel comfy. One advice: dont try to follow directions from Google maps. When you arrive at Krousonnas, just follow the green signs to the guesthouse.

Useful notes sent pre-arrival (very useful to note the fact that Google maps does not provide the best route in) Very helpful host, who explained everything well on arrival and willing to help throughout the week. Good pool on site with excellent views

BelgiumBeautiful, big and comfortable room with a lovely balcony with great panoramic views on the mountains and the sea in the distance. Superb breakfast! Lovely pool with great views again. Eleni is a lovely and friendly person and a wonderful host. A pity that the restaurant was closed due to works but there is the possibility to eat freshly cooked local food (by Eleni) on your own balcony. 😊 If not, there are some good options in the villages around, like Krusoonas or Loutrakia It was a pleasure staying at Aetovigla!

Truly stunning views, really comfortable self-catering accommodation with the option of having some affordable, generous and delicious meals prepared by the owner, Eleni, including great home grown/made produce. We had a wonderful time enjoying the peace and quiet, and the mountain breezes were a welcome respite after the heat in the city.

From the moment we arrived to the day we left, Eleni was a great host, friendly, very helpful and kind. Her cooking is fantastic, the best stuffed wine leaves we have ever tasted! And her husband was very kind to help us when our car got into some serious trouble! The holiday studio has the most fantastic views of both the surrounding mountains and Heraklion in the distance. It is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. The balcony or patio is really big and offers great views of the sun rising or of starry nights. We hope to return sometime soon.
