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.).

United KingdomHonestly, no significant negatives come to mind. If I'm being picky, it would be nice if the loungers at the beach were free for hotel guests and if drinks during dinner were included, similar to the complimentary juices and water at breakfast.
Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The hotel is clean, modern, and very welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, with special mentions to Giannis, Marianna, Ioanna, Giorgos, Katerina, and Alondra for their outstanding service. The food was delicious, and the events organized by the hotel were enjoyable. The location is ideal, being close to both the old town and the beach. We initially planned to stay for three nights but loved it so much that we extended our stay to a full week. Overall, it's a lovely hotel with a great atmosphere, and we highly recommend it.

BelgiumThe hotel is located 3 min walk from the beach. The Old town is in close access by foot. Breakfasts and dinners are fabulous, very tasty and divers over the stay. Rooms are large and clean. In every room there is a small kitchen with all necessary stuff. Staff are super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in this place. Recommended for families.

FinlandThe pool was supposed to be heated in October, but it wasn't. It was a shame, especially for the children and because the weather was not very good during our stay.
The location was excellent. Close to the beach, many restaurants nearby and not far from the old town. Nice hotel all in all - friendly staff, nice pool area, good breakfast.

EstoniaThe only thing we didn’t like was the fact that you have to buy all drinks, even water (2.20 € a bottle every night) at dinner time. It would be more convenient if water would be included or added to the price of the dinner. Although the service was quick, it was still little bit uncomfortable. And be aware when you rent a car, finding a parking spot every day is a challenge 😀
We liked everything :) The location is perfect, near the beach and downtown. The food and the eating area are nice, the staff was very friendly. The pool had heating and there were enough sun-beds. Different entertainments almost every night, but if you don’t want to be part of it, you will not be bothered by it. We had the best time in this hotel :)

United KingdomWe were there for 10 nights and after about maybe 5 or 6 days I was getting a bit bored with the Breakfast but there was a lot of choice but maybe more suited to other nationalities
The hotel was in an excellent location just 1 street back from the beach and only a 10 minute walk to the old town. We had a smart executive room which was huge and very modern. The king size bed was very comfortable as well. The pool bar was very good for food and drinks.

United KingdomWe hired a car but off street parking was difficult. Car parks expensive . Hunting round for somewhere to park the car was a pain so we did not use the car very much thus it was a waste of money
the charges for the safe box seemed unnecessary. Too many kids pool toys in the pool made it crowded some times

United KingdomActually, out of the 12 hotels my husband and I stayed in on our month+ trip exploring 8 islands this was the best all round hotel for comfort, facilities, food and price of all (even competing with a 5*)
Half board was very good value and the choice of food offered was excellent All the staff were helpful and pleasant and the lady who seats you for meals was very warm and welcoming. We'd asked for a room in a quiet location, which we were given, so we were grateful for the good rest we had and the comfortable bed. The welcoming fruit basket and bottle of wine that greeted us in our room. The pool was lovely and the provision of sufficient sunbeds/loungechairs for all (there are extras just ask)

United KingdomAir conditioning was fixed at a temperature of 24C in every room in the hotel - totally useless IMHO, especially during the hotter months. Complained to the hotel manager who said he would see if it could be lowered by a degree or 2, but this didn't happen. Probably a cost saving device. If you need good quality, adjustable air conditioning in your room then you would be better off looking elsewhere. Hot breakfast items, although plentiful, were invariably cold by the time you got back to your table (fried eggs in particular). The hotel beach is shared with the Bio Suites sister hotel, Bio Beach, and if you need facilities (toilets, drinks etc.) while on the beach, you could use the Bio Beach hotel. However, the small pool is out of bounds to Bio Suites guests. I asked at the Bio Suites reception if we could use the pool (which by the way, was always empty), and they checked with the Bio Beach hotel, who said yes we could. However, the next day, I had a call from the Bio Suites manager to go and see him. I was in no uncertain terms told off like a little schoolboy for using the Bio Beach pool and was told not to use it again - how petty can you get ! I explained that I had asked permission before using the pool, but the manager was rather terse in his responses, but did admit it was the hotels fault. Extra charge to use the hotel sauna, which is part of the facilities. I can understand why extra charges apply for spa treatments, but to use the sauna ?? And a 2 Euro per day charge to use the safe in the room. Does it cost any extra for the hotel to give you that benefit free of charge ? Of course not, so why charge for it. Next thing they could do is charge to use the TV in the room. Same sort of idea.
Location of the hotel was very good, very close to the beach and a short stroll to the Old Town. Room size was larger than expected, and kitchenette facilities were good. Staff were very friendly (apart from one, see negative comments). Varied selection of breakfast items were available.
