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 KingdomWater pressure wasn't the best, but no fault of the owners. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and we had to pull out the fridge to plug it in ourselves which was a bit awkward. However it was a budget booking so we weren't shocked.
The family that runs it are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, no fault there. The overall accommodation and communal areas were clean and had fun decor. Lovely to have breathtaking views from the balcony. With plenty of storage.

United StatesThe water pressure was low. But we managed to take warm showers without too much difficulty.
Very nice and simple hotel room less than 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Matala beach. Room equipped, with double bed, small refrigerator, kettle, and some kitchen items. Private, small bathroom We very much appreciated the kindness of the hosts who went out of their way to make the guests feel welcome. We also appreciated being allowed to use the staff kitchen and to store items in the reception after check out. We liked sitting on the patio/garden in front of the hotel.

United KingdomNothing to dislike really. It has typical facilities of a Greek island holiday accommodation. The stairs could be a problem for some but there are rooms on the lower floors too.
Situated on the hillside it is nicely isolated from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to the village centre and the beach :-) It has a lovely quaint and quirky style and decoration - Very homely, clean and welcoming.

United KingdomIt clearly states in the listing and on a sign at the property that there is on site parking……..however there is none at all and parking is either on the street, if you can find it, or you must pay €5 a day in a car park.
The property had a nice feel and was in an excellent position.

GermanyThe heat is extreme and the sea can be very rough in the south (Matala). We visited towards 2nd half of August.
Very friendly host. Aphrodite makes sure you have a warm welcome and that you can reach out to her when you need something. We really enjoyed the stay however had to cut short the trip due to extreme heat at that point. However we enjoyed our time there. We can grab breakfast at multiple Cafes right outside her place. Everyone is so kind and polite.

IrelandThe AC unit leaked a lot - our stay was short so it wasn’t a huge problem, but something to keep in mind if staying here for a longer period of time. Wifi didn’t work great.
Excellent location - beach, restaurants, bars and shops right on the doorstep. Bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom were a little old but had everything we needed. Very good value for money during the middle of August. Parking available for free nearby the property.

ItalylWhat I didn’t like: the bathroom was really small, with difficulty even getting in; the water drain was broken, very old, and not functional. The cleanliness left much to be desired. The girl on the morning shift was very kind, while the one in the afternoon was very rude. I will definitely return to Matala, but not to this property.
Just 50 meters from the center and the sea, in a quiet area.
