How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room was big.
When we arrived, the reception was empty because the reception is at the bar. We waited few minutes before the host would do something. The pool is not blue like in the picture at all, it is green. I would never swim inside, it is really disgusting. It is middle august and the pool is green, I don’t understand how it is possible. The room is old and has stains everywhere around. The bedsheets have big stains too. It is disgusting. The last morning, it is mentioned on Booking that check-out is until 12pm. In fact, it is only until 10am. It has never been mentioned during the check-in. Also, when you park in front of the hotel, it stinks because you have a lot of trashes there.

Verified reviewThe rooms were very clean, personnel happy and helpful. For Rethymno the price is fair.
The double rooms in front of the road are a little bit noisy for the night. The pool was nice but not crystal clear.

Verified reviewStayed there for one night, the room was clean, air conditioning working, the room was in the ground floor and I loved that the balcony was two meters away from the swimming pool so can jump in and out any time you like and don't have to walk around in the corridor. Water in the swimming pool was very warm.

Verified reviewSpacious family room. Clean property and well maintained even when a bit dated. Clean pool with enough sun beds. Gluten free breakfast available upon request. 5 min drive from Rethimno centre.
Noisy as on road side. Hard beds so not ideal when having back problems.

Verified reviewA nice hotel and friendly staff. Having a pool is really nice but the seafront is also close. Not too far away from city center, you can take bus 20 or just a taxi for 12 euros.
Noise, the hotel is right next to the highway, and the cars are loud. Sadly got woken up at 4:45 am by the very noisy dumpster truck taking the garbage away.

Verified reviewRooms are large with good air conditioning and the beds are very comfortable. We stayed 5 nights and our room was cleaned twice. Location was good, only a short walk from beach and restaurants.
The rooms are very basic and quite tired. Things don’t seem to be very well maintained. Pool was not clean, the water was green and you could not see the bottom so we did not use it. This may not be the fault of the hotel as the weather was extremely hot and I think there was a water shortage, we were disappointed that our children couldn’t use it, but there are other public pools within a short walking distance which we used instead. The shower head in our room was broken and fixtures were very tired and basic however for what you pay it was ok
