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 only small thing was relatively slow internet. I believe that is a nationwide issue.
There is nothing to ‘not like’ about this beautiful, exceedingly well situated, clean and awesome hotel. The staff are incredible. The rooftop infinity pool and bar are so comfortable. The staff go out of their way to treat you with kindness, compassion, excellence and competency. The balcony view was exquisite. The hotel staff are ever- present and greet each question with a smile and a solution. We have been in many hotels throughout Europe. This ranks at the top of that list.

We had a fantastic stay at SunSal. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, breakfast was really good, and the whole place struck the perfect balance of being stylish yet relaxed. The rooftop pool and bar were excellent spots to unwind. Our Executive Suite with Sea View worked brilliantly for a family of four — our teenage daughters had their own separate space, and there was plenty of room for everyone. Despite nearby construction, the soundproofing was excellent and the sea itself more than covered any background noise. Parking right outside the hotel was easy, and it’s just a short walk to the old town, marina and beach — the location couldn’t be better.

This is a beautiful hotel with a great location just minutes away from plenty of restaurants and the Venetian Harbour. The staff are so friendly, every time you pass through reception or at breakfast you get a lovely smile and welcome. The breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from. Our room was very clean and modern and with amazing sea views. There is a lovely rooftop pool and bar that serves delicious food and cocktails. All round perfect experience and would definitely recommend to anyone.

AustraliaThere was construction going on next door during the day, but I didn’t mind. I enjoyed watching the builders walk from the rooftop pool!! Was interesting!!
What can I say!! Wow!! The hotel itself is located in a fantastic spot. 5 min walk to the shopping street, beach/water access across the road (and tourist info booth!!), old town port 5 mins walk to the side, all the tours pick up from this hotel - making it super convenient. The hotel also provides lots of extras, such as fruit bowls, books & sunscreen at the rooftop pool. We also received a lovely welcome bottle of wine. All lovely touches. Bedding/linen/towels & toiletries are excellent. The cleaners do a fantastic job, every day you feel like you’re coming back to a new room. The front receptionist Alexis, who we saw most days was unbelievably friendly & helpful. She organised us an extra clothes dryer for our stay, and always had a warm smile and friendly greeting. We enjoyed daily the morning breakfast. Usually you can get bored, but each breakfast was very delicious and the cooks/chefs do a wonderful job. The cocktails at the pool were amazing!! Speaking of the pool, it’s just the perfect temperature! And watching the sunset go down, was just heaven. You can tell all of the staff go above and beyond to ensure hotel guests have a memorable stay. Highly recommend this hotel.

NetherlandsIt was very close to Chania city center. There was parking available, and although we didn’t use it, the rooftop infinity pool was a nice feature. The breakfast was great, the room was very clean, and we especially loved the spacious balcony with a sea view. Even though we only stayed one night, we really enjoyed it.

CanadaIt was perfect 😉
The Premium Deluxe Sea View room was the best option for us . À authentic Boutique hotel , the SAN SAL did it for us . The room was spacious, modern full of natural light with a large balcony overlooking sea. Bedding was super comfortable with quality pillows . The roof top pool to boot with a view and lounging area . The bar was class all the way , especially in the evening with pool lit up contrasting the 90 degree view of the ocean / harbour and old city of Chania . The breakfast was outstanding with service to match .it was delicious. Parking for our car was included and right in front of hotel in a secured area. The folks here take the service very seriously and will make every effort to make your stay at the SAN Sal as smooth as it can be . We want thank the Gen.Manager ,George Chochlakakis for running a very tight ship . The staff were wonderful , kind and devoted to customer service . A special shout out to Harris & Alexia for over and above devotion to making our stay special. Bobby. T Montreal . Canada 🇨🇦
