Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The bathroom could use an update, maybe change the shower curtain for a glass screen to keep it a bit more dry. Also the ambiance in the room would benefit from new warm LED lights instead of the white ones, but that's a general thing in Greece :)
The hosts were really nice and flexible, they really made us and our baby feel welcome. The hotel was a short walk from the beach and the city center, but also quite close to the main road, with plenty of parking space. Very good to explore the south of Crete from here!

Everything was beyond our expectations, so nothing to complain about!
We had a very pleasant stay at Avra. Our room was exceptionally clean, very very nice, and we had an amazing sea view. The beds are extremely comfortable, so we managed to rest well after long days of exploring Crete. The barhroom is modern, clean, with both cold and hot water and it has a hair dryer too. Our hosts were kind, friendly and very helpful. They gave us advice on what to see at Agia Gallini and helped us with everything that we needed. The hotel is family run and it is obvious that Christina and her husband care about their guests and put a lof of effort so everyone is satisfied and enjoys their stay. Overall, our accommodation was beyond our expectations and we will gladly come back to Avra any time! Thank you for everything Christina, hope you and your husband are doing good!

The location is very close to the touristy harbour area, but the path is steep.
Extremely helpful hosts, ready to take the extra step for their guests. The recommended restaurants were fantastic Not big but functional room with a large bed and small terrace.

The hospitality is unmatched. Both Michael and Christina were amazing to us. We had a late bus to the city nearby where they went out of their way to pick us up free of charge by their own initiative. Cleanliness exceeded our expectations, towels, sheets and pillow cases were changed daily. Mini bar was always full and the prices were barely above the nearby grocery store's. Both of them got up at 2:30AM on our last day to take us to the city near the airports, because our flight was rescheduled to early morning and we didn't have a bus to take overt here. We would come back for sure and we will if we have a chance! :)

Breakfast could have more variety. But otherwise it was great.
Breakfast very nice but too many cakes, bread etc and would prefer options of more protein/fruit. But I love the care they took. And the quality was excellent. I liked how helpful the staff were - changing my room, giving me info about the are. Excellent.
