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 everything was great.
We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment above the bar for 10 nights as a family of 4. Apartment was amazing, clean, comfortable great WiFi, smart televisions, air conditioning. Pool area fabulous, clean and quite. All staff were lovely very friendly and very helpful. Pool bar offers a great choice and reasonably priced (the avocado toast 😋). Area- short walk to beach and town. Town itself is quite quiet but thats want we wanted. Hired a car for 2 days from the hire place just a stroll from apartments (100 euros for 2 days) to see other areas. Highly recommend these apartments.

United KingdomNothing,all was perfect
Beautiful location,very near the sea and shops but still very quiet and secluded which was perfect for us. The apartment was very modern,spacious and clean. We had all we needed. Breakfast was lovely and staff was so kind and helpful. We loved to relax at the pool and it was never too busy, there were even times when it was only our family. The hotel also has a small restaurant on site and bar,which is amazing when you don't feel like cooking or going out to town. The host was lovely and always had good advice about things to do in the area.

FinlandWe had a very pleasant stay. The staff did their job really well and offered excellent customer service. The room was cleaned every day, which we truly appreciated. A big thank you to Kate and Adam – they were amazing and made us feel very welcome! Just a small piece of constructive feedback: the breakfast could use a bit more variety. It would be nice to see different types of bread and pastries on some days, as well as a wider selection of fruits. Having just apples and bananas every day got a bit repetitive. We also noticed that the portion sizes got smaller over time and were served on smaller plates. Another small downside was the pool closing quite early at 19:30. Since we’re on holiday, it would be lovely to enjoy a swim after dinner or skip the sea and relax by the pool a bit longer in the evening. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this place – just a few small improvements could make it even better!

Irelandwould have been good if small inflatables were allowed in the pool and a slightly later pool close time e.g. 8,
The best thing is that the pool does not use horrible chemicals and chlorine. The kids could spend all day and they did not have red sore eyes or any irritation whatsoever, unlike every other pool we ever used. The cleaning service every day was very appreciated. Higher standards than other small apartment properties. Quiet and safe and not too busy.

United KingdomTwo things I would point out as constructive criticism - 1. The villa advertise itself as self catering; however there’s no facility for cooking like pot/pans, utensils, knife, chopping board, microwave, etc. It has an induction stove but without other equipments it’s not possible to self cater. 2. The TV in the room is quite old and has limited channels. It would be nice to get s smart TV which has Netflix, YouTube, Prime, etc. Its gives a great advantage to the family who have small children or even to adults who don’t feel like going outside every night.
Very beautiful and quiet place. Feels like a private home. Kate and other staffs were very friendly and hospitable. They now made it very hard for us in future to stay anywhere else in Crete 😍. We just loved it.

Czech RepublicThere were ants in my bathroom. But I told the staff and am sure that they are extrminated / it's solved by now. They have a very beautiful swimming pool with nightime lights but it's only available from morning to 18:00. I was told that it's for maintenance. (I really think that it's because there is no one present in late evening. So to avoid legal trouble if someone stupid / drunk goes for swim and accident happens the pool is only available until 18:00) - I have understanding for that but as I love swimming in the evening it would be great to have it available to 20:00 or at least 19:00. But this is not a big problem if you want to swim in the evening or at night it's very close to sea.
Not a hotel or just apartment but best of both. Very good and hospitable staff. Everything that matters and you really need is perfect, unnecessary things were cut. This is a family run business and they like to run it efficiently. I don't need a hotel with night time reception, animators, nanny and personal juggler. If you are like me this is perfect place for you. Everyone from receptionist, barman, cook to waitress / maid and gardener does their job 100%. That is best thing about this facility: they really care about their guests and make sure you will enjoy your time in Evdokia Suites. I only realized that this place is self catering after I booked my stay there. I can't cook so I was really glad that there is a breakfast (very good, and you can choose exactly what you want - definitely order breakfast when booking your stay here) and they are cooking until 15:00. And how! I only had few dishes, but all were superb. I recommend their chicken souvlaki. + Good location - almost right next to beach + Even though my suite was on ground floor I had all the privacy I needed thanks to well placed bushes, greenery and window blinds Excelent price/ quality ratio!

United KingdomThe only part of our stay that we did not enjoy was having to go home!
We were blown away by this lovely little complex, the apartment was spacious and clean with all the amenities you could want. The staff were lovely and did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The location was perfect for days on the beach, afternoons in a taverna or a bus trip to explore further afield. We will definitely be back!

Kate, Adam , Anthony, Venathea & Grizelda are exceptionally welcoming & cannot do enough to make your stay a good 1. I would never hesitate in recommending Evdokia Suites to anyone wishing to visit beautiful Crete. This is a perfect location to explore & is so close to the beach but also hidden away from the crowd. I promise you will be more than happy with a stay with these lovely people. Yamas 👍

HungaryNothing about the place itself. However as far as the location, best to rent a car if you also want to visit the sights in the region. There is a bus stop (e.g. to get to Heraklion) though within 10-15 minutes walking, but at times it turned out to be unreliable.
Excellent and substantial breakfast based on what you select from a menu list. You can enjoy eating it next to the pool. Very friendly, polite and helpful staff at the bar/canteen area. Silent place 5 minutes walking to the beach with several restaurants available. Also, two car rental options (minimum) available within 5 minutes walking. We had a really great time.

CanadaThis is an old hotel which has been refurbished and is somewhat basic as a result. The community it's in is largely populated by tourists who are "beamed in" to sunbathe and party for a few days and go home. If you are wanting to see Crete and see the historical sites and experience Greek culture this location is not ideal. The restaurants are total tourist traps and the food was not authentic and overpriced especially "ISLA".....avoid it at all costs!!! Every meal on Crete and the rest of my Greece travels was way better!!
The staff at the hotel were great especially Katerina who deserves a medal for addressing every request or concern professionally and quickly.

RomaniaWhile Evdokia Suites Apartments in Crete offered satisfactory facilities and services, I was a bit disappointed by the absence of dinner options and limited night activities. The surrounding area had limited nighttime activities, leaving little to do after sunset.
I had a truly delightful experience at Evdokia Suites Apartments in Crete. The facilities and services surpassed my expectations, leaving me thoroughly contented throughout my stay. The pristine pool added to the enjoyment, while the delicious breakfast and lunch offerings satisfied my taste buds. Additionally, the safe location provided peace of mind. I would rate my overall experience a solid 9 out of 10.
