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 KingdomMaybe a bigger bowl for the washing up.
Location is great as its really peaceful and yet within easy walking distance of all and any action you want,beaches,bus stops,shops, clubs,bars and restaurants.The pool is immaculate,as are all the facilities within the apartment.I am not a young person but am quite active so this is great.This place is civilised and genteel it is great for families and proper people,it is not recommended for 'rowdies' or anyone with 'attitude' and inconsideration of others.

United KingdomThere were no sponges or towels for the kitchen. The AC didn’t work, we couldn’t find the remote for it either. The beds were a little hard but not unbearable. Do not disturb signs for the rooms- we had the door locked and the housekeeper came by for room service which was very lovely but we declined, they then continued to try the door, unlocked it anyway whilst my friend was getting changed…..not ideal.
The location was great, the host was super lovely, the apartment was spacious, it had everything you needed to keep food and cook it. The balcony was nice. The bathroom was very clean and nice

UkraineMaybe it was just the room where I stayed but at times the sewage smell from the bathroom was unbearable. In the kitchen there was only one hot plate and very limited kitchen appliances, so cooking for one is doable (if you are creative and easygoing), cooking for two people or a couple wouldn't be possible. No sponge or dishwashing liquid in the kitchen. The Internet was unreliable.
Simple apartment with everything needed for a short stay. Clean room, beds are fine. Nice area around the pool, very peaceful. Good location - close to supermarkets and restaurants, yet quiet. KTEL stop to go to the airport or Heraklion is a couple of minutes on foot.

LithuaniaOverall this place is a mess.Would not recommend. AC was terrible even if you leave it on all day it will not cool the room. Bed was super uncomfortable - separate mattress and solid pillows. One of the strangest things: You get one roll of toilet paper after finishing it you need to buy more yourself…Even thought pool area is good personal always sits near by the pool and watching you that felt a bit uncomfortable. To Sum up take this apartment if you can handle 30 degrees heat in the room after all day outside laying on the rocky beds and of-course prepare your own toilet paper.
Good location. Pool area is ok

GreeceWe didn't like the way the cleaning lady was cleaning our room, we didn't like that our apartment didn't have any ventilation in the bathroom and the apartment didn't have many things included that other apartments have for the same price.
We liked the location cause it is located very near the center of Malia. The pool was clean and had a nice depth. It was safe and every night a security guard was guarding the apartments.

IrelandSome information on Booking.com is not correct: * No socket near the bed * The room has aircon, but you have to pay €7 per day * No smoking throughout, not correct. People with asthma be aware that you will inhale smoke from your neighbours Other things: * Dodgy sockets * 1 ring hob (living here for 35 nights and having only one ring to cook from) * Bad internet connection (luckily my employer sent me a router so I could work) * Not a silent place, other guests think they are the only ones there. One week there was a hysterical lady arguing and screaming every day. The nearby hotel has live entertainment most nights of the week, so bring earplugs * Not sound or smell proof because of a shared vent with your neighbour. If they use the bathroom it's like somebody is in your room. And if they use the toilet the fumes enter your bathroom. * Bins being emptied every other day, that means you have to wrap your dirty toilet paper very well because otherwise it's going to stink (not allowed to throw toilet paper in the toilet) * You have to buy your own toilet paper * No stuff to do the dishes with (had to buy it) * No knives to cut your veggies and no potato peeler. Had to buy it too. * Owners hardly speak English so communication was difficult No help when I left. I moved to Greece so I have 3 suitcases, a backpack and a huge box with my computer gear for my work. I was put on the top floor and had to walk down the stairs with all my heavy stuff. The male host stood watching without offering any help. When I was almost done the cleaning lady offered help and she carried my heavy stuff with me. The cleaning lady is the best btw. Works very hard. The host not offering me cost the accommodation a point..
Most of the staff was friendly and the room was kept clean. I moved to Crete and needed a temporary place to live and work from
