Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesThe gorgeous bathroom didn't have a magnify mirror (indispensable for old people). This is why I didn't give 5 stars.
The view; the room; the stuff (Irina and the other girl that I don't remember the name - Sorry); the cleaning lady. They were all very helpful and pleasant. Also has good restaurant near by and a 20 minutes pleasant walk to the Old Town.

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Batis. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, they assisted me with everything I needed and always made me feel welcome. Their warmth and genuine Greek hospitality made me feel at home. The hotel is beautifully renovated, very clean, and perfectly located in Rethymno, just a few steps from the beach, many restaurants, and the charming old town. Everything was comfortable and convenient, and I truly enjoyed my time here. As a small suggestion, the towels could be cleaned a bit more thoroughly or the detergent could be changed, as the scent was a bit strong. Overall, my experience was wonderful, and I left with beautiful memories. Thank you to all the staff for your kindness and care!

United KingdomThe set format of breakfast. You had no choice of what to eat but were presented with 5 items: bread, pastries, cake, sweet yoghurt and a savoury dish. We don't like/eat cake, bread and pastries so we were only able to enjoy 2 out of 5 items. It would perhaps be better to offer a buffet so that guests can choose what they like and have enough to eat!
The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The reception and housekeeping staff were wonderful - always available and helpful. The apartment was cleaned daily and towels changed very frequently.

BulgariaThe tropical shower was amazing, but there’s no door, so a lot of water ends up on the floor
Great location - about a 30-minute easy walk along the sea to the old town, which was really pleasant. We visited in October, and there were no issues with street parking nearby. The beach area feels open and spacious, not crowded like in the center. The staff were very kind and friendly, and we were allowed to check in early. There’s a bar downstairs, and the beach has its own sun loungers, which was really convenient.

PolandEverything perfect!
We were very satisfied with our stay at Batis Beach Hotel. The service was of the highest quality – polite, helpful, and genuinely caring about the guests’ comfort. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The breakfasts were delicious — every day we left full and happy. The hotel’s location is perfect — the beach is right outside, and it’s just a short walk to the city center. The surroundings are peaceful, with no parties or noise near the hotel. After exploring Crete, we believe that Rethymno is the most beautiful place to stay. We highly recommend this hotel and thank you for a wonderful stay!

BelgiumWe had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Crete! Everything went smoothly from the start, and for the first three days we were even upgraded to a different room. The location is perfect: just a 20-minute walk from the lively city center, yet peaceful with a beautiful sea view and plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and housekeeping came every day. Breakfast is not a buffet, but it’s complete and more than enough to start the day. One evening, after a Greek cooking class, we brought back some leftovers and the lovely staff member Eirini warmed them up for us and even provided cutlery. We were not the easiest guests since we had a lot of questions, but nothing was ever too much trouble. Eirini, in particular, was incredibly helpful and kind. At check-out she even gave us a hug goodbye – such a warm and heartfelt gesture. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in Crete!

RomaniaVery good hotel: clean rooms, great breakfast and exceptional staff - for example, they packed our breakfast because we had an early trip, they allowed us to take a shower after the check out as we were to the beach until the afternoon etc. Also very comfortable beds, we slept very well and a great location right across the beach and not a long walk to the old town.

Eirini and the whole team were always kind, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. They made us feel at home from the very first moment. We enjoyed every day of our vacation here and left with beautiful memories. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rethymno and we would love to come back again in the future!

FranceVery good hotel hotel ideally situated on the sea front and not too far from the old town of Rethymno. Walking time : 25 mn and cheap taxis are available too if you are too tired to walk. The hotel lends beach towels so you don't have to bring them from home and the beach bar "Cactus" is fine. You can rent 2 sun-beds with two drinks for 12€ a day. The hotel is very clean and modern. Breakfast on the rooftop is really enjoyable. The reception team, especially Eirini (very warm and resourceful), is great, helpful and available. The cleaning ladies are very nice too and efficient. We greatly enjoyed our 4-night stay in Batis hotel and do recommend this establishment.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaCouldn't recommend enough, everything about this hotel is amazing. Very friendly staff who helped us out on a few ocassions. Rooms seem recently renovated and everything is squeaky clean and spacious. View is excellent, and the beach bar works until late at night so you can go out for a drink anytime. The hotel is placed perfectly as it's not in the center so it's not too busy, but it's a short walk to Old Town and it never feels empty.
