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.).

SerbiaBreakfast could be more diverse, but it is definitely sufficient, and considering the price–quality ratio, it’s absolutely fine.
The hotel’s location is exceptional. Close to all the beaches, beach bars, and within walking distance of downtown. And the view from the terrace – simply amazing! 😍 The staff is very friendly, and the beach service is excellent.

HungaryThe room is clean, they clean it every day. The staff is very nice and polite. The breakfast selection could be expanded, it's a bit monotonous, the same every morning. Overall, we had a good time. Thank you Poseidon Hotel.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The location is perfect—very close to the beach and easy to reach nearby attractions. The staff was friendly and welcoming, always ready to help. The beach access was a big plus—clean, beautiful, and just a short walk away. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Family ran hotel just a few steps from the beach where you have free sun beds where 5 (that we met) very fit and friendly staff look after your drinks, food and ice cream all day. Unreal service from morning til night. The breakfast was very nice, toast, breads, fruit, eggs, cakes and much more included in the very economical b+b rate. Their Gyros was also one of the best. Best cocktails in town mainly served by the fabulous Deelisa, nicest and best waitress in Crete!! And what can we say about Andreas.. a great host, very friendly and chatty. Will be back 💚🤍

United StatesSeeing the balcony and view as soon as I opened the door... this was the place for me. The bed was extremely comfortable. Shower had plenty of hot water and good pressure. I left the door open at night so I could listen to the waves. Breakfast was included in the restaurant/bar downstairs. Very friendly staff... made me feel at home. This property felt very safe for a solo traveler.

United StatesRoom was a little small with not much area to unpack. Could hear the neighbors on occasion. Traffic noise was no problem at all when the balcony door was closed.
Very happy that we chose this location at the beach over staying right in the town center. Alex provided a warm welcome. All rooms face the sea so the view is the best part of the deal. Spent a great deal of time on the balcony enjoying the view. Having an associated beach right across the street was a bonus as we spent one afternoon there (free sunbeds but you're expected to purchase food or drinks). Breakfast was fabulous - eggs, yogurt w/ honey, a variety of breads, ham, cheese and veggies plus fresh orange juice. Walked to the old town center in about 12 minutes.

United KingdomBeing on first floor noises from downstairs bar travel up and room walls bit thin.
Superb location with seafront balcony and allocated beach beds opposite. Beautiful view of beach stretch to castle and sunsets. Walking distance to old town easily and flat, plus bus station around 25 minutes. Excellent breakfast and room cleaned daily. Really friendly and helpful staff. Deserves more than 2 star for sure. Fully double glazed patio door excludes street traffic noise.
