Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

ChinaThe pillows are very hard and tall, not very comfortable which resulted low sleep quality. Would be good to have options. Also, with two big suitcases, climbing up the stairs was a bit tiring. We didn’t really mind though
On the way to Balos, very clean and spacious. Staff very friendly and flexible. Stylish room and modern facility. Facing the sea with great views.

FranceThe simplicity of the hotel is what makes it great, but if some guests are looking for extra amenities, these would be missing here.
We stayed 5 nights at Kaliviani Traditional Hotel and visited from here Balos, Elafonisi, Phalasarna, and villages around. The room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the sunrise if you're brave to wake up before 6h45 in the summer! We know we enjoyed it 🤩 Breakfasts at the hotel were delicious and just what we needed to fuel the start of our days! But the highlight of the hotel is Yianni (the owner, receptionist and cook), we particularly enjoyed his sense of humour and his wisdom on the philosophy of life! We left feeling grateful and satisfied with our stay and would come back again/recommend for those visiting!

United KingdomKaliviani Hotel is located in a beautiful, quaint village with an authentic vibe. You won’t find many party goers around there which makes it even more special. Ioannis is a kind and helpful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at his place and would recommend it to anyone (with access to a car).

Several really good restaurants in the village. Perfect location for trips in the South West of the island when you have a car. Also really nice spot fo a hike to Balos bay or Falasarna beach. Ioannis is a perfect host and i really eager to help in case you have some questions. Bed was perfect and place was really calm and quiet during the night. Will definitly come back!

Czech RepublicWe enjoyed our stay very much so we would merely suggest maybe installing more shelves/ drawers to provide enough storage space and perhaps making the door a bit more soundproof to insulate the noise from the corridor.
The location: Close proximity to Kissamos town, Balos, and Phalasarna beaches. Not that far away from Chania town or Elafonisi beach as well. The room: It was cleaned every day. Spacious room with new/modern furniture and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Beautiful view over the Kissamos Gulf. The staff: Ioannis is a really nice guy. He was always friendly and very helpful. Great breakfast!

Switzerlandonly at the departure we discovered several pillows we had in the room had different “softness” while they looked similar :/ and we were looking for softer pillows 😆
Modern amenities while preserving traditional look and feel, very comfortable room, great location to discover iconic beaches of the west of Crete - Balos and Elafonisis (must do both), 100m from several great restaurants but far enough for peace and quiet, great host and owner Ioannis, speaks wonderful English and serves the best breakfast! totally worth it!
