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 KingdomAbsolutely fantastic views. We had apartment 104 I think was the junior suite with a separate bedroom and living/kitchen area. Also a long double balcony off bedroom and the living area. Very helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Has a small shop where you can buy essentials. It’s about a 20 minute walk into town and there are a few local beaches.

United KingdomJust flagging up that for the very infirm, the walk up to the apartments might not be suitable. I loved the exercise!
Beautiful views and excellent location for a short (15 minutes) walk to the town beach and the main square, with plenty of spots to have a swim along the way. Friendly team running the place. Spotlessly clean apartments and pool area. Lovely, small menu serving fresh food and ice cold drinks. Air-conditioning or fan which was very welcome on a couple of hot days. I was there before, 35 years ago, and the place still retains its quiet charm, but has been renovated to modern standards. We self catered for breakfast and lunches and ate out in the evenings.

United KingdomN/A
A lovely, well equipped, apartment set in a beautiful complex with a very attractive pool and seating area. The views from the apartment and the whole complex are stunning. Situated a ten minute walk from Elounda and about half hour from Plaka. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Would definitely come back Especially suited for people looking for a relaxed break in picturesque surroundings. There is ample parking on site but the apartments are in a steep incline which may be an issue for someone with mobility issues.

IrelandEverything was fantastic - walking distance of Elounda and about 50 minutes walk to Plaka It is set into a hill so may not suit those who find steps or steep driveway a chore !
Beautiful & simple Cretan style studio overlooking the bay, Elounda to the right and Plaka to the left. My studio overlooked Spingalonga island. There is a small necessities shop onsite as well as continental breakfast, beautiful Greek salads, omelettes etc. The pool overlooks the bay and whilst small it is perfectly adequate. There were always sun loungers available. The staff are brilliant - friendly, helpful and always there, yet not intrusive. This is a peaceful, tranquil accommodation and rooms are cleaned every single day. I would recommend this to all types of travellers

GermanyThe kitchen needs renovation. The hot plates are old and not easy to work with. It’s enough to warm up simple food and make a salad, but don’t expect cooking…
I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the view, the pool, the sea behind it, the deserted mountains and the sky. This is what I needed to unwind from a busy tour to Crete! The staff was lovely and gave me a lot of valuable tips. My favorite was the balcony, overlooking the sea and boats passing by. Yes, I’m already feeling nostalgic :)
