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.).

GermanyFrom the first contact email and lovely reception upon arriving to the last moment and waves goodbye as we left, our stay at Okeanides’ Pytho Villa was without match. The property is simply gorgeous, with views as far as the eye can see, and the sunsets are to die for. The location, a short drive from Bali, is perfectly secluded without being too far off the beaten path. The private pool was crystal clear and well managed during our stay and we could easily visit one of the small, turquoise coves at the bottom of the hill if we were craving a beach day. The goat beach was especially popular with our family. The villa itself was well appointed and had everything we needed for the eight days we were there. When desired, we were able to cook meals, do laundry, even exercise on the elliptical machine by the pool with a view of the ocean. Had something been unavailable, I am sure that we could have asked Ioannis and his team and whatever we needed would have magically appeared. The service and care for my family was five star and genuine. We especially liked the delicious, made-to-order breakfasts…The VIEWS! - from the living room, the master bedroom, the second bedroom’s balcony, the pool deck, the living room terrace - just breathtaking…The quiet evenings by the pool or on the balcony, listening to the bells of the goats on the mountain side… The walk down the garden path and out the gate to go down to the beach - it’s quite the walk back up the hill, but it was great exercise and not too difficult and allowed us to appreciate the flora/fauna and geological features of the area…The proximity to lively Bali and its delicious restaurants as well as to one of the most beautiful villages in Crete (Margarites) and the archeological finds of ancient Eleutherna… We even had a kitten visit us for a couple of days and that really rounded out another perfect stay in Crete.

United KingdomGetting into the property from its driveway gate is quite steep but manageable. Can’t be helped due to the terrain
We stayed in Elektra. We loved that this villa was quite private, very spacious, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sauna room, large pool and terrace. Staff were amazing. Attentive, polite and overall lovely people. The breakfast was lovely. Every morning we were given a fresh breakfast. Hot food was always eggs in some form, omelette, on toast with tomato, fried with bacon and sausage etc. fresh fruit, cheeses and hams. Fresh Greek pastries and cakes. (The homemade orange cake was amazing) there was so much food served at breakfast, that it lasted us till lunch. The views from the property are breathtaking!

RomaniaOn the downside, the bathroom facilities could use some improvement. The toilet flush system was quite frustrating and only one of the four bathrooms could be used for showering properly as it had a glass-door cabin, while the others didn't even have a curtain (and everything around would get wet of course).
The location is absolutely superb. The villas are perched on a mountain overlooking the sea and offer amazing views all around, especially at sunset. The outdoor spaces - terraces, swimming pool and gardens - are very well designed and maintained, ideal for spending time with family or friends. We generally enjoyed great hospitality there (starting with welcome fruit and drinks and ending with a parting gift), but the highlight definitely was feasting every morning on delicious breakfasts freshly made by Yiannis from local ingredients.

FranceIn my opinion the villas are very outdated in terms of design and condition. This wasn't clear to me based on the pictures. We were a group of 20ish people and turned out that the villas aren't interconnected at all, each have very different accesses. We also experienced power outages due to unforeseen circumstances which not only prevented us from using electricity but water as well. So I consider it relevant to mention that if you don't have electricity, you also don't have water there. This meant we couldn't flush toilets or have showers for 2 days. The owner was and efficient communicator yet the issue could not be solved.
The scenery was gorgeous and the location was very practical. Super close to Bali. They also serve a delicious breakfast. The staff is super nice and helpful!
