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.).

The accommodation is comfortable and well-organized, with very helpful owners. It features a spacious terrace with a stunning view of the valley, Minoan palace, and beach. Additionally, it offers excellent parking facilities.

KZ bay is a secluded and stunning corner of paradise, and KTP offers affordable and fully functional facilities to enjoy it at its best. Uphill and about 10 minutes walking to the beach and tavernas, KZP is set in secured green surroundings and offers unforgettable views of the bay, the minoan palace and the gorge. The air-conditioned and spotless clean studio was comfortable, complete of cooking appliances and had a large private terrace. Relaxation and tranquillity are guaranteed, along with friendliness and kindness from the hosts. Thank you Georgios and Charoula for your hospitality. Already dreaming of coming back!

We were warmly welcomed again by George the owner who showed us around the incredibly clean and well equipped studio. He also gave us some delicious homemade cake before leaving us to settle in. The accommodation has stunning views of the bay and Gorge of the Dead. Our studio had a lovely large terrace which was really peaceful and we spent many hours just enjoying the view. During our 4 days there we visited Xerokampos beach and sampled the local restaurants at Kato Zakros, before moving onto Kouremenos for the rest of our holiday. On our last day George very kindly let us have a late check out which was much appreciated. We are planning another trip next year and I’m sure that we will go back to the Kato Zakros Palace Apartments for the fourth time as we had such a good time there.

BelgiumApart from a series of 4/5 taverns on the beach front there is no shopping or other basic facility walking distance.
Beautiful apartment, comfortable and very calm. The location is excellent if you want a quiet holiday. The beach & sea are walking distance and the apartment has an amazing position and view. Very close also to a beautiful and famous archaeological site. The old village of Zarkos is also nice but it’s a hew kms away. No doubt you need a car to move around in the area but it is worth it

AustraliaThis is a well presented room with everything I needed with a perfect terrace from which to admire the view. George is friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, and each room is positioned to capture the view while still maintaining a feeling of privacy. An easy walk down to the tavernas at the beach for dinner, only a few minutes away. I think these apartments have the best panoramic views in Kato Zakros. I stayed for three nights, next time I'll stay longer.

Lovely studios set on the hillside giving a panoramic view of the bay. Very friendly owner who provided grapes and figs from his beautiful gardens. The studio was spacious and with large private balcony at the front and a small one at the rear. The studio was spotlessly clean and the cleaner was extremely good. Even though the accommodation was well occupied during our visit, it always had a quiet and relaxing feel. The beach tavernas were only a 5-10min walk down the the hill, all serving excellent food, the slow stroll back to the studios afterwards a joy taking in the beautiful night sky. Ideally located to walk the Gorge and visiting remains of the Minoan Palace direct from studios. Fully recommend these studios for total relaxation. Car recommended
