Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomSwimming pools were not heated and it was not possible to swimming in any of them as the water was very cold. Didn’t like the fact that you had to pay 3 euros a day to use the room safe. That should have been provided free of charge.
Stunning swimming pool area. General design of the hotel was fantastic apart from dining room which was a little old fashioned compared to the rest of the hotel.

SpainThe hotel is huge and is quite busy but that's to be expected. Didn't really like that we had to pick up our pool towels from another building - the place is massive. The bathroom unfortunately had a strong smell. The shower is very awkwardly built so you'll splash water all around the bathroom no matter what you do. Just reposition the soap holder and it'll be ok.
Nice, spacious, clean room. Good service. Good pools, and a very generous breakfast buffet.

United KingdomThe property is beautiful and very modern. The rooms are spacious and clean. The pool area is very nice and plenty of Sunbeds. I also liked how they upgraded our room for our wedding anniversary stay, we also had a bottle of fizz and chocolates in our room on arrival. Very nice touch. Location is great, only a couple of minute walk to the beach and restaurants.

Staff were excellent and very friendly. Hotel and facilities were a good 4 star and spotless. Only 5 minutes from beach but more like 15/20 to the old town

BelarusMy husband complained that the pillows were not very comfortable. Important point ...we had a street view, on another hotel, and sometimes they had concerts(music), it was too loud, it was really hard to sleep for children.
Great location. Really helpful staff, always ready to help with any question. The breakfast and dinner were really good, everyone will find something to eat and drink. Sea 🌊 and a lot of taverns, shops are not far from the hotel.

United KingdomA few of the morning restaurant staff seemed a bit cold but weren’t rude as such, just not all that friendly. Cocktails by the pool were a bit average for the price
Rooms / apartment were a good size and cleaned well every day. Pool was excellent! Always enough sun beds available but didn’t feel quiet. Most of the staff were very friendly. Good choice at breakfast. Good location for the beach and Rethymno. About a 20mins walk to the old town. Kids club available sometimes which was a nice touch. We only went once as it was closed the next day but the staff on the day we went were very lovely.

North MacedoniaManagment and staff of the Hotel deserve pure 10! Where to start...Hotel has a great location, 3 min to the nice beach, and 15-20min to the old town. Rethymno its a worth visitting place, you have long beach anf town in one place. Rooms comfortable, clean with nice amenities. Food...oh my god the food!!! We had breakfast and dinner. The finest selection of food I ever had in a hotel. Staff....the most dedicated to guests I ever seen! The evenings have concept with nice and quality entertainment as well, not to loud and quite enjoyable! Also during some days, sax is playing by the pool.I Highly recomend this hotel for visitting Crete. We will be back for sure!

SloveniaThe streets around the hotel are totally overcrowded, so it is essential to pay 8 EUR/day for hotel parking. The pool closes at 18h, which is a joke during summer months.
We got the room upgrade for free. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. All staff is very friendly and helpful.

ArmeniaThe hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short walk from Rethymno's public beach and local markets. In about 20 minutes, you can easily reach the old town and the harbor area. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. We stayed on a bed-and-breakfast basis and loved the fresh, varied breakfast each morning. The rooms are spacious, clean, and modern. The hotel also has a spa area and a pool, alongside a restuarant and a bar. Also, the hotel area is safe. We would gladly return for summer 2025!

GreeceI don't know if it can be better than that. The period i was there also is a high demand period so everything you see, are true only for someone who would go there in the peak of summer season in Greece. So, nothing particularly negative here.
Since the hotel didn't exceed my expectations or fell short, i would say that it's a very good hotel overall. I liked a lot the gym, the pool is very nice at night with the lights, though you cannot enjoy it very much because it's almost always full, both it's pools. I liked the variety of the morning buffet, though i would like it if it had more vegan options.
