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.).

Everything, from the size of the apartment, rooms, bathroom, to the hosts (George & Aria) and the rest of his family who were the kindest, and generous hosts we have had. The beds were comfy, the split aircontioner in both the living room and room, super clean apartment, sheets, towels (they offer beach towels so you dont have to carry yours with you). The location, I mean, nothing can beat walking out the door directly to the beach. The view, the quaintness, we loved every minute of our 12 night stay at Kolymbari seafront apartments. If I could give more than 10 points, I would.

United StatesNothing. All was great!
The apartment was fantastic, very nicely decorated, very clean, modern (large king size bed and great shower). We were welcomed by our amazing host George with a fruit basket, bottle of wine and chocolate for the kids. The location was perfect! The apartment is right on the water with beautiful views. We had a private terrace and small yard with grass, table and even a grill to use. The property is in a very great location but is in a quiet side street. Parking is free in front of the apartment or by the port which is 1 minute walk. There is 1 restaurant right by the apartment and few nice ones just minutes walk. Our host George is one of the nicest guys, friendly host, and always available for anything we needed. Highly recommend, we will definitely return to this one.

Beautiful apartment right on the beach, very clean and airy space. The hosts were lovely and accommodating to all needs. Lovely restaurants nearby and on quiet side of Chania, but within easy reach by bus. Would stay again!

Amazingly beautiful place directly on the beach, it even has a privat beach part where are the beach beds already free to use! In front of the apartment is a nice garden with the coal/wood grill. Left and right are plenty of restaurants, all around. We tried some of them, we were happy with the quality. Also, all kinds of shops all around the apartment, everything reachable without a need of a car or some transport. The apartment itself was amazing: 2 FullHD TV-s (sleeping room, living room) 2 Air Conditionings (sleeping room, living room), really clean, new practictly, kitchen fully equiped to cook, and they also have the dishwasher and the double fridge (with deep cooler). In the bathroom we had the biggest shower which we have ever seen, there is a washing mashine redy to ne used as well and plenty of the clean towels. The host: George- helpful and kind until 100% Definately to recommend, since we do not have 1 thing to complain us for! TOP!

We stayed here for part of our honeymoon with our 9 month old baby. Lovely apartment, very clean and convenient location with the beach and restaurants on the doorstep. Fantastic hosts Aria & George who met us on arrival, wished us a happy honeymoon with gifts and George's mum even made us a mousakka one evening!

SwitzerlandWe stayed in the apartment with the terrace directed to the street. At the beginning we thought it will bother us but actually it was no problem. Especially in the morning we enjoyed our coffee there.
It is a lovely place to stay. We can recommend it. Everything was clean, new and the owner and his family take care of their guests. The restaurant around the corner provides delicious breakfast. Other restaurants have delicious dinners. The beach is not overcrowded and the location is very good because you can reach all places of the western part of Crete within a reasonable time. We also liked proximity to the beach and the sunbeds of the apartments.

FinlandNo microwave. We wished to have more forks and knives. Beach water gets dirty, when it's windy and there are high waves. On the other hand there are breakwaters making the waves smaller. (Big waves are common on Crete and are sometimes almost on every beach depending on the wind direction.)
Very nice appartment and friendly owners. Took us to a doctor to Chania when I got sick. The owners take a very good care of the appartments and garden. Nice towels. Wonderful terrace. Spent a lot of time there. Clean and quiet. Restaurants near and good supermarket within walking distance.

United KingdomThe village itself was basic but had a big supermarket. We often went to Chania for a walk in the evenings as it offered more restaurants.
The apartment was brand new, exactly as in the pictures. It was spacious and well equipped, with a lovely garden and beach view. It was great to have a washing machine and dishwasher. George was very welcoming and helpful. A great place to visit the nearby Falassarna and Balos, also not too far from Elafonisi.

United KingdomPower cut on Sat and Sun between 6am and 11am. Apparently that happens on the island few times per year, a lot of places are prepared having power generators, and maybe that is something for the owners to consider? Had it happend on our departure day, it would've been a bigger issue
The best place to stay in the whole area. Lunch place 10 steps away, beach 10 steps away, bus to Xania 10min walk, grocery shop 10min away, restaurants 2 min walk. Wi-fi speed super fast at the apartment. Paradise! The owner met us on our arrival, we had a lovely chat. The evening before our departure, they arrived again to say good bye and gifted us an exeptional box of baklava from the nearby confectionery shop. Wonderful hosts, always available on Whatsapp when we had a question. The place opened in 2021, so the building is fresh and very clean. Spacious and comfortable shower area in the bathroom. Kitchen equipped well enough to cook a dinner. Coffee maker, electric chopper/blender, few pots and pans were available. The garden is well kept, ahh in overall, BRILLIANT place.

SwedenAlways something to be found which can be improved, wi-fi was fast and worked well most of the time but had some break ups now and then. A minor niggle was remembering to switch on the water heater when you needed to shower. Other than that not much. The only real issue I had was with BLM administration (the people coordinating check in, payment etc), had to wait for check in despite knowing my time of arrival and my (valid) credit card couldn't be processed which caused concern for consecutive days.
Indeed the place is as cosy as the name suggests. Very nice, clean and with a great apartment layout, not to mention the view. George was a very attentive host, I felt welcome and there was nothing missing. Big plus for comfortable bed (!)
