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.).

Czech RepublicWe would have liked a better equipped kitchen.
Nice accommodation, a bit far from the centre. I recommend to rent some kind of transport. The advantage of the accommodation is that it has its own parking across the road, a nice pool and a garden. The most interesting thing is that it's very close to the airport and you can watch the planes. There's a beach nearby, where planes fly right over your head.

United KingdomKitchenette very basic. Could do with more cutlery, tea spoons, bread knife, bowls.
Even though the apartments are close to the airport, they were surprisingly peaceful. Obviously there is the noise from aircraft on landing and takeoff, but really not a problem. The gardens were pretty and pool nice and chilled to hang around. There is also a limited bus service to/from the port. Taxi's also around 10 euros

HungaryThere are some minor missing things that would make a stay much more comfortable here: What is truly sufficient is the equipment of the room. A/C worked properly, however it blew directly to one of a family member. Equipment in the kitchenette is also insufficient, no napkins, tissues, no scissors, no microwave, no heating system at all. It's not advised to drink from the tap water, so be awared to take drinking water with you, however the closest supermarket is around 2 kms from the property. Furnitures are bit outdated, would worth to have an update. Also the size of the bathroom is so tiny, you need to take a whole cleaning once you've had a shower.
We are enthusiastic plane spotters, so the location was perfect for us. The crystal clear Xanemos Beach is also very close, as well as Beach Club Záma, which is one of the most relaxing place in the whole island. The garden and the pool are clean and refreshing, handled with so much care. Stuff very friendly and helpful. Fridge works properly. The whole area is so quiet, it's so relaxing to get back from the noisy old town, yet the planes come and go - but that's the bonus fun at all.

United KingdomBathroom door broke so wouldn’t close, bathroom floor can get really wet as shower cubicle has no door.
Cleaner and reception lady were very friendly and helpful, the cleaner rang a taxi for us off her phone as receptionist had finished for the day. Nice quiet location, close to the beach and nice 25 min walk down the hill towards the town but do not recommend walking from town back to hotel in midday heat as uphill. Taxis fast and reliable.

United KingdomCould have done with extra pillows. Although, it was our own fault as we kept forgetting to ask for more, as I'm sure we could have had more.
It was relaxed, staff were very helpful and friendly. It was as per advertised, no bells and whistles, but had everything we needed as a base to go off out exploring the island. Within minutes of discussing potential bike/quad rental, we had one delivered. The pool was welcoming at the end of a busy hot day out exploring. For a small hotel, it was more than adequate. Evidently no full time lifeguard/attendant, but the hotel gardener/maintenance guy is out early each morning clearing it, and the cleaner would also check in through her working day to clear the area, if required. Wasps are part of nature, and when ignored, they were not a concern. The shower was plenty hot and powerful. The room was clean when we arrived and cleaned daily, with replacement towels on request. For a 3 star and the price paid we were very happy.

Czech RepublicA small microwave would probably be useful, the accommodation is offered as an apartment and the kitchen could be more equipped for a family with children.
Absolute peace in the evening, fun watching planes during the day. Nice clean pool, Xanemos beach beautiful and almost empty. We didn't use the bus to the port, but it runs regularly and for those who don't rent a car or motorbike, it is certainly a good option in combination with a taxi.

Facilities: old not maintained tons of problems Value for money: ridiculously expensive for what it offers.

AustraliaTo be honest it is not the most attractive part of the town. It is not a hotel but also not an apartment with very little facilities. 2 plates for 3 people, 1 odd campaign glass. Very uncomfortable beds and 1 flat pillow to each bed ( slats falling down when one sits on it( 50kg) ) with no extra pillows nor plates available when asked. Nowhere to buy anything close by.
