Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Fourth time staying here. Perfect location for old town strolling - without the noise. Lovely clean/ fresh rooms. Just what is needed.

SwitzerlandThe parking is roughly 100 meters away and the roads are a little rough for larger suitcases.
Location is perfect, at the edge of the old town. Super friendly staff, kept our luggage when we went for a hike (incl. Overnight) and we're able to pick it up later. Rooms are spacious and very modern. In general, the hotel looks beautiful.

IrelandThe only possible drawback that might not suit everyone is that there are lots of steps, unless you're staying on the ground floor then you'd be fine.
This hotel was exceptional, all of the extra little personal touches they thought of really made a difference. The bed was big and extremely comfortable. The rooms are all individually designed with their own theme and decorated with local art work/pottery. Everything was very clean and modern, including a powerful, hot shower. The location is ideal, you step right outside into the beautiful old town of Chania and you're only a few steps on to the port. However, the hotel was at a quiet end of town meaning zero noise disturbances. There are also excellent black out blinds making the room nice and dark as well as cool with the air con.

CyprusEverything was perfect
What a lovely place! This small hotel is actually a renovated house, but it feels so cozy and at the same time quite luxurious. Everything you could need is there, super clean, and really comfortable. The location is just perfect – only a couple of minutes walk to the harbour and the parking area, which made things so easy. The people running it are incredibly friendly and helpful, and that made the stay even nicer. It honestly felt like a little hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

United StatesNothing! I will say that if you are not able to climb stairs (with your luggage) this hotel is not for you. But that was no problem for my partner and I.
This hotel is perfect! It is at the outer edge of old town Chania, which means you can walk out the door and be right in the old city but it remains quiet at night. The whole hotel is beautifully designed, starting with the entry courtyard. It is a great place to have a coffee in the morning or bring a bottle of wine in the evening for a quiet night. The rooms are also beautiful, perfect size, and very clean. The hotel is not accessible by car, but you only need to walk to the end of 1 cobblestone street to reach it from Talos Square. There is no parking at the hotel but they have a few spots reserved in a small lot about a 5 minute walk away. I was amazed to get to stay in such a nice place for this price, especially in peak tourism season.

SlovakiaThe personnel of the hotel was very kind and helpful. And we liked the location-though we were in the very center of Chania, the site is a bit aside and very quite at both day and night. Regarding breakfast-we did not mind hotel does not provide-we found a nice place at the sea side.
