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 KingdomThere is nothing to mention about cons. For the top managers of the chain: just keep doing the amazing job and expand your properties around the world to evangelise your brand. My dream is to see one of your great hotels in Sardinia soon.
3 years ago, we spent 2 weeks in Montenegro at the Iberostar hotel in Budva, and we had a fantastic experience. So, we decided to trust the brand: this time, we spent 2 weeks in Crete, and our expectations were met again!! Professional and friendly staff of all the hotel departments did their best all the time, despite the pick season. The animation team entertained us in a great way (how not to mention their leader "Tony Macarony", which should get a monument at the theather for his talent). In addition, the food was superb and rooms always clean. We spent a lot of time at the private beaches surrounded by the stunning Greek landscape and embraced by the blue sea. Also, because of the strategic location of the property on the island, we decided to book two excursions (Heraklion + Elafonissi beach), which were definitely worth visiting. All in all, it's a fantastic place to stay and strongly recommend for tourists who visit Crete for the 1st time.

CanadaThe room was quite outdated. The water in the toilet was running nonstop. When we asked to move to another room, our request was refused. We had to wait till the end of the weekend to get the toilet fixed. Other things that we did not like included extra charges for soft drinks during dinner, although we were at HB. The poor quality of coffee and other drinks and beverages.
We really liked the food at the main restaurant, especially the dinner. Our teenage son enjoyed different activities and animation. The hotel's grounds are very well-maintained and offer breathtaking sunset views.

United KingdomI did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding a few areas that require improvement. One specific point of concern was the availability of amenities. I booked my stay with the expectation of having access to tennis courts, as they were listed on the booking website. However, upon arrival, I discovered that they were not available. It would be helpful to have the online information updated to accurately reflect the amenities on-site to avoid disappointment for future guests. The room, while clean, felt quite outdated. The decor and furnishings appeared worn, and the overall feel could benefit from a modernization to match the standards of similar hotels. In addition, the breakfast service has significant room for improvement. The coffee, unfortunately, was a notable disappointment. It tasted weak and lacked the rich flavor one would expect to start the day. Additionally, the pastries were quite stale and seemed to have been sitting out for some time, which detracted from their appeal. The scrambled eggs were also consistently overcooked and rubbery, making them unappetising. Improving the quality and freshness of these specific items would greatly enhance the overall breakfast experience for guests.
The friendliness of the staff, the activities and entertainment offered for all group ages, the check-in process, the dinner, the views and extensive gardens, water park and sport facilities

Kids room and mini disco for children are available. A lot of other activities during the day. The masseurs are too young and a bit inexperienced but very friendly.

UkraineI was deeply outraged by the attitude of the young man at your hotel’s reception towards my family. I specifically booked a room for one night (in fact, only from 05:00 to 12:00) for €250 so that my wife and our two small children could get some rest after a long 24-hour journey from Kyiv without proper sleep or rest. The receptionist (unfortunately, I do not know his name) responded by saying that they were “very lucky” and that he would allow my wife to bring the children (!) with her into the room. Even worse, he forbade two other women — my wife’s friends, who were also traveling with children — from even entering the room I had paid for. What kind of disgraceful and disrespectful treatment of guests is this?

United KingdomRoom service very is limited on time. Because of the child’s naps our room was left not cleaned 3 times during the 10-days stay. The staff in the restaurants are not quite professional or totally focused on quantity and not quality- its’s a package-focused all inclusive hotel, I believe return is not that important. In 8 evenings having dinner in the main restaurant they asked me just twice if Id like a drink. Two small artificial coves are far too small to let everyone enjoy the sun and swimming in the sew. Again, I believe the focus is on next-to-pool guests. Drinks are overpriced: €6 for a glass of below average wine in buffet, €5 for 0.4l for no-name local beer and around €30 for a bottle of local wine is far too much. Greek Tavern (a’la cart) is a disaster: poor choice of buffet starters and only 4 main options with a level of a choice for mw “what I don’t like to eat less”. Had to remind staff take orders for drinks and mains and they even didn’t have large beer though it’s in a menu (go and get large glass from the main restaurant!). Small car park for all guests with cars. And pointless application you have to use to book your even buffet dinner.
Good located hotel with multiple pools and picturesque views. Wide menu in a main restaurant for breakfasts and dinners, so you can easily not repeat the meal Kids club. Beach/pool towels. Bathrobes and slippers. Recently renovated rooms. Mostly friendly and helpful stuff from Eastern Europe or Ukraine. Decent coffee in bars and cafes, even okay in buffet machines.

United KingdomMy only gripe was that we arrived on Wednesday for 5 nights and all of the restaurants were already fully booked so we could only eat dinner at the main buffet. This didn't matter too much to us but it might to others. Although the pools don't open until 10am, everyone puts their towels out way before this and so we had to take a 'if you can't beat them, join them!' approach otherwise we would have never found loungers by the pool we wanted but then again we were also in a fairly large group so I'm sure others might not have a problem!
6 pools to choose from! Easy to get around even though it's a large hotel. Lots of ramps for pushchair access. Very family friendly. Staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Very clean everywhere. Bars at almost every pool area and food is never far away. Drinks were lovely and not watered down like a lot of holes! Refurbished bungalow was much nicer than expected. Kids entertainment was good Mini shop on site for all the bits you might have forgotten.
