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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNothing that we didn’t like. We thought the food wasn’t competitively priced (for example buffet dinner €45 each) but with plenty of local tavernas in Plaka to choose from, it wasn’t really an issue. We still ate on site if we didn’t feel like heading into Plaka. Only other comment would be that the service buzzers on the poolside parasols didn’t seem to work, but it’s not exactly an arduous task to walk to the bar to order so not the end of the world, but maybe remove them if they’re not going to be manned.
Glorious views! The staff were very friendly and approachable. The service was excellent throughout, from reception, to bars/restaurant to housekeeping and everyone else. The accommodation was perfect for our family of five (Villa Feidra) and although the pool that came with the villa is pretty small, it was still big enough for the kids to enjoy for a couple of hours of the day. The main pool area was also perfect. Overall we were really pleased we chose to stay there. It definitely had a relaxed laid back feel which is what we enjoy. The availability of the shuttle between the resort and just down the hill to the beach was excellent as it’s a pretty steep (but short) drag.

United KingdomLimited restaurant opening times. Very steep pathways to the rooms as hotel is built on a steep hillside (but there are a couple of funiculars to help). Random opening of the beach bar.
Gorgeous hotel. Staff were excellent and attentive. Very clean. Free shuttle bus down to Plaka beach. Amazing views of Spinalonga and the bay. Loved the bedrooms with private pools.

Czech RepublicBreakfast offer limited, not 5*. Strange policy with beach deckchairs (absolutely not enough for a number of beds hotel offers) - you either came early or wait till afternoon when someone lefts - else you are seated in a bar for hours. When I went to the bar (of the hotel, 15m from the beach) for a lunch, they immediately wanted to give the deckchair to some other - this policy wasn't the same for everyone - probably the personel wanted a tip.
Absolutely fantastic! We had villa in the last row - great views, mostly calm (except music from neighbours), villa is perfect, great mattrasess for great sleep, pool temperature absolutely fine (end of July), free minibar replenished every 2 days (just for villa option I think), very good restaurant Kelari, smiling employees, proximity of beach and small village with OK restaurants. Worth every penny and visit. Will definitely come again.

BrazilThe pool is quite cold, and when I requested to increase the temperature, I was told that it wasn't possible due to hygiene standards. As a result, I paid for a very expensive room but couldn't enjoy the pool unless the outdoor temperature exceeded 30°C. The shared pool is even colder. I've stayed at several hotels in Greece where the pool was heated to 30°C without any extra charge. Additionally, the private beach service ends promptly at 6:00 PM, with no food orders accepted after 5:00 PM, and the beach chairs are removed at 6:00 PM sharp. All nearby beach bars close by 11:00 PM, why would they be the only one? Another point to note is that the hotel restaurant is smoke-free, so if you smoke, you'll have to dine outside the hotel every day.
Clean, great view and great service

United KingdomThe staff went above and beyond mannerly, helpful polite and welcoming. The pool areas kept beautifully as where the gardens borders and planters. The food was lovely fresh tasty and plentiful. Our room was just lovely we were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and fruit, cleaned perfectly each day and bedding changed regularly, great shower with shower gel shampoo conditioner and body lotions, lovely outdoor furniture and loungers and a fantastic large plunge pool. The fridge stocked with bottles of water daily. Free shuttle service into Plaka and return, and a service to and from the airport (payable to hotel) worth it. The views are spectacular overlooking the beautiful Spinalonga Island that as such history. The lagoon is breathtaking with the mountains shining down on the glimmering water. I could go on and on, we will definitely return.

United KingdomNot the most desirable location. Pebble beach near by is too small and too busy. The area around the hotel is undeveloped, feels like you're in the middle of nowhere (in a bad way). The stairs inside the private pool in our room had razor sharp corners. Extremely bad craftmanship and very dangerous. They should fix this before someone gets hurt.
Beautiful resort, excellent food, very nice all round.

IsraelThe weather was too windy, so take under consideration that it might be a problem if you plan to travel in mid October.
The room and the view was amazing and the staff was extra helpful and super nice. We felt like they done the best they could to make us feel welcome and to make sure we maximize our fun. The hotel is amazing and built in a very sophisticated and comfortable way. We traveled with a 10 months old and the staff was super considerate and very helpful with arranging all the baby stuff.
