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.).

RomaniaBed mattress was a bit hard and not so comfortable. The breakfast could be more diversified - same offer every morning.
Position of the hotel is excellent (2 min to the beach with all facilities), pool area is fantastic, hotel cleanliness is great, room was sufficient large and renewed will modern style. With few improvements the value for the money could be excellent

Saudi ArabiaBreakfast selection is quite poor, but then they only charge 10 euros. Better to charge 15 for a bit more variety. Public toilets behind the lobby are not lockable?!
Everything is amazing. Such a peaceful haven while right off the main road. Rooms, although a bit tiny, very recently decorated up to a high standard. Pool is fantastic, love the jet spray buttons. Besides the product, the staff are fantastic, especially Kristina.

FranceNo negative comments regarding the hotel. Malia even outside the high season isn’t very charming. There are a few nice spots to eat in Old Malia, but overall, we wouldn’t recommend staying here for more than 3–4 days, especially for those looking for a calm and authentic experience.
We had a very good stay at Drossia Palms. The hotel is located in the center of lively Malia, just a 5-minute walk from the beach, and it offers free parking, which was very convenient. Our room was comfortable, clean, and just like the photos, as it had been recently renovated. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

United StatesWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Drossia hotel! The setting was breathtakingly beautiful, and the atmosphere was so relaxing - it was the perfect retreat for us. The owners' warm hospitality made our Greek Easter truly unforgettable. We were touched by the thoughtful gesture of providing us with the Easter candles that we got to use at church - such a lovely touch! Efharistó (thank you) to the owners for making our stay so special. We feel grateful to have experienced such Greek hospitality and can't wait to return! 🌟✨"

United KingdomThe area was a little touristy and no real variety at breakfast. The beach bar was more expensive than the main hotel bar.
Room was a good size albeit a little tired. The pool and bar area was good and the beach was as described, a five minute walk from the main hotel. Very happy with the staff, the breakfast cooked selection could have been hotter

Excellent stay at Drossier Palms. Lovely quiet hotel surprisingly close to the centre of the Malia action. Malia's main strip is a short distance away (3-4 mins) and sufficient that there's no problem with noise at night. It's a 10 min walk to Malia Old town which has 6-8 beautiful tavernas, and is quite a contrast to the pubs/bars on the strip. There are closer traditional tavernas too, so plenty of choice. There's a sandy beach 100m or so from the hotel, plus the option of using their sister hotel on the beach but frankly the beach if jammed with sunbeds down to the water's edge and the pool at Drossier is so nice we only used the beach for a couple of sea swims. Seriously, Drossiers' pool is fab. We end last 2 weeks in sep, and I believe the hotel was full but still plenty of choices of sunbed, cabana, pool-side or on grass. A quiet bar does food til 5 and drinks all day. We didn't take the breakfast option but from what we saw, most did and it looked pretty good. Not really a hotel for kids I'd say, as it feels more geared up for adults/couples, and is definitely not a party hotel. Decent fridge with icebox and basic kitchen ware is helpful in each room. Nice service from the staff - they let us check out super late which was really helpful on our last day. Overall, recommend this.
