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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomDidn't have an egg cup for my boiled eggs 😄 - I was able to improvise. It is easily the best villa I have stayed in out of probably over 50 in the Mediterranean area over the years.
Superb villa in a great location, Crete is a lovely island. The villa garden and terraces wrap around the villa, so always able to stay outside in beautiful, private outdoor space with amazing 360 degree views. Sun loungers are very comfortable! Owners went out of their way to welcome us with lovely food and wine that fed us for the first 2 days! Facilities inside are spacious and immaculate. Pool is great and well kept. Lemons from trees in garden taste great! Location is very private and quiet, but only 35mins drive from Chania in hire car. 5 mins walk downhill to good local shop, 10 mins walk back uphill 😅

United KingdomDefinitely need a car to get to decent restaurants. You can feel the springs through the mattresses, nothing a decent mattress topper wouldn’t fix, the pillows were fantastic though. Great sun loungers but the toppers were not very comfy. Didn’t change the holiday one bit, just a couple of suggestions really to make it more luxe.
Fantastic pool and outside area. Great open plan lounge/diner/kitchen with a further downstairs lounge/diner/kitchen and bedroom for the kids to take over. Two big bedrooms on the top floor with loads of storage. Very peaceful area, no pumping music, no neighbours, bliss! We got welcome food, drinks in the fridge and further cakes too. Toiletries provided which is a bonus and very friendly owners.

United KingdomIt is a bit of a walk to Almyrida so would advise a car. Plaka, however, is walkable and has nice restaurants.
The property had beautiful views of the gorge and sea. It has plenty of space and is well looked after and clean. The people who look after the villa are fabulous. We really appreciated the home cooked snacks and all the provisions left for us when we arrived.

United KingdomTV volume needs to be adjusted as was too low to hear. The basement could do with modernising and brighter lighting in bathroom.
Very nice to meet the hosts, who showed us around the spacious villa, chatted about what was closeby to visit, and provided us with a delicious and very welcome greek meal with a bottle of wine. On cleaning days, a cake or homemade pastry would be left which was a lovely surprise! Small toiletries were provided in each bathroom which was a nice touch. Air conditioning in each room was very much needed after spending time outside in the 34-degree heat of the day. The infinity pool is gorgeous with stunning views out to sea, and the huge mountain to the side of the property. There is a beautiful peach tree outside the kitchen with ripe juicy peaches you can pick for breakfast or as a snack. Plaka village is walkable (about a kilometre) and we can recommend Elpis and Takis tavernas with brilliant food and service. Almyrida village is just over 2km walk away with more bars, tavernas, shops and the beach. Would recommend renting a car to visit Chania (45mins drive) and further afield like Lake Kournas.

United KingdomTV disappointing as HTMI slots didn't work. Washing machine failed but they are replacing it. Lots of stairs. Overall though a fantastic villa.
A wonderful view, pool and garden. We really loved this spacious villa. All the little extras were there. Toiletries, hairdryer, etc. We were treated with a delicious meal left for us on arrival and muffins when they came to clean. How lovely and generous. All problems quickly answered and solved? Recommend.
