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...).

United States of AmericaThe concierge had very limited English, and his son, who was the main translator, was away. But we managed to check in. However, it would have been super helpful to have a guide to using the hammam and its various tools. Even more helpful would have been a heads up after our booking on what things to bring to increase the enjoyment, such as scrubs, lotions, aromatherapy bits.
Wow, this place was amazing. Our room had the private Hammam--Turkish steam room, plus the domed ceiling with skylights. Exotic, comfortable. Like stepping into a different world. Location was central to shops and restaurants and the harbor, with parking a short distance away. One of the most charming places we stayed.

United States of AmericaCity sometimes lowers water pressure during mid-day to conserve, so shower early or late. Not fault of the owners!
Wonderful location in vibrant Old Town. Family owners are super helpful. Outdoor covered deck is lovely addition to the charming quarters. Perfect for a couple or parents with older child, as second bed is a twin upstairs in loft. Queen bed downstairs has adjoining full bathroom and there is a powder room with sink and toilet, too.

United KingdomMichalis' customer service was second to none, met with a smile each day, extremely helpful and always received a lovely greeting from Michalis' father each evening. On one occasion Michalis couldn't find us a suitable winery visit and went above and beyond to appease the situation (wine involved). The property couldn't have been in a better position, 5 minutes walk from the fortress (a little up-hill), 5 minutes walk from the port and 15 minutes walk through the town or along the sea front to the beginning of the town beach (2 x sunbeds, table & umbrella 10 euros with drinks/food available delivered to your sunbed) and nearest bars/tavernas 1 minute walk (would take months to work through all the different ones). We stayed in Hyacinth (1st floor) which is extremely spacious, air-con very good, mini kitchen helpful (complimentary tea, coffee etc until shop located), shower large and powerful, patio area spacious although spa bath needs a little TLC but worked ok (takes approx. 45 mins to fill). Head to Sunset bar on other side of fortress if you want the sunset.

CanadaThe shower was improperly installed. It was a handheld shower with a bracket to hang it and was part of a jacuzzi tub as well. The problem was that they installed a glass wall to block the water from the shower from getting on the floor at the wrong end of the tub. There was also a small bracket on the glass wall end but the shower hose was not long enough to reach the bracket! So … I would recommend they find a longer hose (the easiest fix!) The other problem was that we left early in the morning and there was no information on what to do with the key and how to let yourself out.
Conveniently located. Wonderful welcome by the reception. Bed was very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. Nice ambience. We stayed in “The Pansy” room.

AustraliaOnly thing was the separate room was a single mezanine area that was still connected to the rest of the room so there was no privacy for those in the double bed. Perfect otherwise though and fine for group of friends!!
Twin room with the spa on the balcony was excellent. The gentleman at the front was lovely and friendly and quite thorough in showing us everything. The room itself was exceptional in terms of both the cleanliness and facilities available. Photos represented the rooms well. Spa was excellent!

ItalyIt was very hard to find parking: free parking was absolutely impossible to find, and even paid parking lots were quite full (and quite pricey: 20 euros for 24 hours). Of course this is not the property's fault in any way.
This hotel is simply amazing: the ambience takes one back to Ottoman times (the building used to host a Turkish bath, hence the name), and the rooms are each decorated individually and are quite stunning. It is located right in the center of Rethymno old town, and yet it is very quiet. The spa Jacuzzi bathtub in my room was super nice. The host was very friendly and provided plenty of information and of suggestions for my stay in Rethymno, and also (before arrival) on where to park.

CanadaThere is nothing to add here
This hotel is a rare gem hidden in the old town of Rethymno. Walking into our deluxe suite with Hammam with its beautiful furniture and decor and our own private steam room, took us back in time and was absolutely magical! The domed ceiling had small skylight that looked like stars and the solid walls provided such peace even though we were right in the middle of the town. The amenities included what was needed for coffee and tea, bathrobes and slippers and sandals and peshtemal towels for the steam room. Our host, Michalis, was a true gracious gentleman, very knowledgeable and so very helpful (efcharisto, Michalis for everything!). We would rate this hotel 20/10 if we could and we would definitely stay here again!
