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.).

It was close to everything: the beach, restaurants and shops. It was reasonably priced for the area. George and Stella, and their daughters, were very friendly and accommodating.

HungaryWe stayed in Greece for nearly two weeks at various locations, and this was the most expensive apartment (booked late in the highest season in Chania). Comperd to the others the flat was not big or very well lit, the bathroom was OK, but nothing special, same goes for the whole place. However the host made up for all the "shortcomings" with his smile, the freebies, the great location, etc.
The host, George is a great guy with a full beaming smile and a good advise or two always at hand. He lives at the property, so he is most of the times around if you would need anything. They let us check in real late and did not mind, we had to change the time of arrival a few times. Balcony overlooks a quiet yard, AC works smooth. We loved the location too, very close to centre but free paring is available all around. They even had a beach umbrella, sand toys for our kids, some beach chairs and games to take with us for the beach days free of charge.

North MacedoniaWe loved everything about our stay! This small hotel is run by a lovely family who made us feel very welcome. They kindly allowed us to check in early and leave our bags in the morning, which was incredibly helpful. They even provided us with an umbrella for the beach. We had the best view overlooking the bay, with charming restaurants and a beautiful beach just steps away. We especially enjoyed the sunsets and peaceful mornings on the wonderful terrace. The room exceeded our expectations, it was even better than the pictures. The beds and mattresses were very comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the bathroom was newly renovated. We didn’t cook during our stay, but the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you’d need. The room was cleaned daily and was spotlessly clean each time. A special thank you for the lovely towel and pijama decorations, such a thoughtful touch. If we return, we’ll definitely stay here again without hesitation.

GermanyFor our first time in Chania, the accommodation truly exceeded our expectations! We were fortunate to be right next to the main city beach, just a 5–10 minute walk away. The old town is also within walking distance. The hosts, Stella and Georgios, are genuinely kind people who went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. There is nothing about Semeli Studios in Chania that doesn’t deserve praise.

Czech RepublicGood location of the hotel, nice and very helpful owners who gave us advice and recommended attractions in the area. Communication before arrival and during our stay was perfect. The hotel is located a short distance from the beach. The sandy beach with a gradual entry into the water is great for families with children. It is a few minutes walk from the hotel to the historic town. For a trip around the island we rented a car at the neighboring hotel, where Antonio is amazing, who will help you and nothing is a problem... :)).

PolandHot water was missing one day, but this was repaired after couple of hours.
Awesome place to spend vacation - close to the beach, there are restaurants with seafood nearby. Apartment has all that is needed, (for me fridge is a must). It was clean and tidy and bed was very comfortable. It has wonderful sea view! Definitely value for money. Owner was very welcoming and I was given their own fruits and little snacks. I would return here one day.

Probably one of the best locations in Chania, a short en ough walk to the old town maybe 15 mins max however far enough out that you have a space to relax when not in the hustle and bustle. Its opposite a beautiful harbour with many great places to eat, especially woodstock cafe and restaurant a stones throw from Semili. As for the rooms, they were clean, tidy and provided everything you needed including ice cold air con and a MOKA pot for your morning coffee on the balcony. Thos hosts are fantastic - honestly this is a fabulous location, with excellent amenities. I would find it hard for anyone to not enjoy their stay at Semil.

The location of the property is brilliant. 10 minutes walk to the old town. The stunning views from the balcony, overlooking Nea Hora Chania harbour and Kertos /Nea Chora Beaches, full of restaurants with great food. Stella and George were fantastic, helpful and friendly. Always ready to help and give recommendations regarding anything really, food trips etc. I was given a parasol and a beach towel. Lovely family

Excellent cleanliness of the hotel and the room. ->added bonus: Giorgio is an excellent Italian speaker. A great stay overall – definitely recommended.
