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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

HungaryThe center of the village including shops and bars, and the beach is 10-15 minutes walk from the apartman, which is at the beginning of the village. You can have a car as well; walking in the hot one km or more is not so easy. You also need to find or buy your breakfast somwhere else. One night the electricity was out because of the heat, so we needed to sleep in 28-30 celsius, there was nothing to do.
The apartman is beautiful and very comfortable. We had a studio with 34 nm, it was great for 2 of us. Everything was very clean, the beds were great. Next to the apatmant you can find a bus stop to Chania, but it goes only 4-5 times / day. So it is not like in other places, every 20-30 minutes. If you would like to visit Chania or Rethimno it is better to rent a car. There are a some great tavernas in the village. The beaches are belonging to bars, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are free.

United KingdomThe cleaner only came twice during our stay, therefore the kitchen bin and toilet bin was only emptied twice. We do not expect towels and bedlinen to be changed any more than this but for hygiene and in the heat the toilet and kitchen bins should be done daily. Also we asked about having our/a room for an extra few hours and were offered this at a discounted rate of 50 euros cash, which I found to be excessive as it was just for a shower, needless to say we didn't take up the offer and used the shower by the pool.
Beautifully decorated room with a very comfortable bed and a great balcony, Room 4, which overlooked the pool and hills behind. The pool was very welcome as the weather was very hot.

There was a coffee machine too and even a little sewing kit. Dimitra was a wonderfully welcoming host and so helpful and kind. We were also offered an upgrade to a bigger room. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

GermanyNothing really… maybe some Info in the room to assist with Transport issue I.e. buses and timetable to Chania ( Greek time?) and info on taxis ( we found taxi stand next to church but not on our first days)
The property is located across the beach and in walking distance to all amenities. We stayed in one bedroom apartment( recommended )which was spacious, super comfortable and nicely decorated. All Apartments are designed with love and Imagination by the owner. Especially loved the roof top terrace with views across beaches and village. Our balcony also had mountain views at the back, so choices galore to enjoy.

United KingdomDimitra is a wonderful host! The apartment was immaculate, the garden and the pool were pristine. Towels and sheets were changed very frequently. The roof terrace is gorgeous, a real sun trap by day and a romantic hideout in the evening. Any problems (of which there were hardly any) were resolved immediately. We've stayed at Dimitra's before and came back because of the wonderful welcome. Dimitra adds lovely personal touches and is on hand if needed, but never intrusive. It's an easy and relaxing place to stay. The place is close to a lovely beach. There are local shops nearby and Kalyves has plenty of bars and restaurants. There's a great bus service into Chania (a beautiful place) or along the coast to Rethymno and beyond. The whole experience was fantastic! Highly recommended.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything I didn't like.
Location is very good - just outside of the main town of Kalives, yet comfortable to walk into town or to the beach. Bus stop is across the road and local restaurants all within walking distance. The apartments are well appointed and really tastefully presented. Dimitra has put in a lot of time and effort to make the rooms comfortable, to have an excellent roof top space for sun bathing and the pool area is spot on to cool off. The apartments have all the appliances you will need, are cleaned regularly and the bedding/towels changed periodically. Dimitra is incredibly helpful - giving helpful advice on travel, where to shop for basic needs and even phoned the bus company when the bus was delayed.
