Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Warm welcome from the hosts who were super helpful and kind enough to change our room after I had accidentally booked the wrong type. Really helpful in recommending local restaurants and places to visit. Very chilled, friendly vibe overall. Food was delicious and pool was a lovely addition to a relaxed place. Have already recommended to friends and family and would go again.

AustraliaElea Suites & Residences is in a beautiful location surrounded by scenic olive trees and is run by a beautiful family who attend to your every need. It is a very peaceful place with an authentic atmosphere and is only a five-minute walk away from the beach and other facilities such as restaurants and small supermarkets. As soon as we can, we will definitely be returning to Elea Suites & Residences.

United KingdomTwo things that in my opinion need to be looked at: - they have a cat on site . He’s the sweetest thing and he’s well looked after. But because he’s mostly outside, his skin seems a bit sore. Maybe a quick visit to the vet to get him checked. - we booked a boat trip with the hotel and we realised on the day that most people on the trip have payed less than us. I think the agency charge extra when you go through the hotel . I would recommend booking directly in town .
The property is exactly as advertised ! Beautiful and very confortable rooms . The owners go above and beyond to make your stay as confortable and enjoyable as possible . We really felt like we were staying with family.

GermanyWe would recommend that it is better to rent a car if you are looking for to stay for a longer time in gouves, so its easier to get to the supermarket or another beaches. Giannis helped us finding a car to rent, so we could go for another places by car on some days.
Giannis and his team are the perfect hosts for your stay and vacation in Gouves. Everyone is so kind and offers you help whenever you need it. We felt comfortable and are already missing the hosts. The hotel area is very nice and clean. You can relax there, go for a swim or eat something homemade until late afternoon. Also the interior is beautiful and well chosen. Our apartment was very cozy and clean. Everyone has got his own balcony, so you have got enough privacy. The breakfast was awesome! The homemade banana chocolate pancakes were the best we ever had and a pleasure to eat. You will get a basket of bread, marmalade, coffee or tea as well and something sweet and after that you can choose between four amazing main dishes. All of them were great and delicious. A must have, when you stay at Elea Suites Hotel. The hotel is also located very well. It takes five minutes to the beach and to be surrounded by some great Cretan taverns. It was easy to get there by bus, if you arrive at Heraklion Airport. All in all we loved being there for two weeks and we can recommend a stay to everyone!

NetherlandsThe second bed in the living room was very firm—too much for our liking. The property is also located under the airport flight path. This didn’t bother us often, but maybe it would be an issue for others.
The family run property is well taken care of and the staff is very helpful. Their pool is relaxing and lovely and the “breakfast” is served all day on a shaded patio. The beach, restaurants and shops are all walking distance and they have ample parking for guests. There are many olive and fruit trees and a garden with many vegetables. our favorite excursions were recommended by the hotel staff!!

Kitchen area needs upgrade but this could be work in progress as others looked more contemporary in photos. No work surface available to prepare food.
Pretty pool area with lovely breakfast/snack menu at poolside terrace. Beds very comfortable and linens and towels changed regularly. Owner and family extremely helpful and gave great suggestions for beaches and restaurants to visit. We even had veggies from the garden.

Staying at the Elea Suites the past week was such a nice break from reality. The perfect weather combined with a large, clean pool made for some lazy, relaxing days... aka a key ingredient for a holiday. The best part of staying here is that you are staying at a genuinely well-run family hotel. The family is involved from the first minute of taking care of you, getting to know how they can help you have the holiday that you're seeking, and also serving tasty, homemade breakfasts in the morning. They were very kind and friendly anytime that we met. What I can say about the rooms is that they are well-equipped, comfortable and a very good value for the money. The hotel offers on-site parking and also a concierge service for taxis. My wife and I personally found the location of the hotel accommodating for the large majority of our daily needs, even just by walking. A few times we wanted to travel further we simply asked the family to set up a taxi for us and it was arranged with no effort.

Wonderful hospitality! Welcome drink, friendly hosts & breakfast by Mariah was great (fresh eggs from the free range hens). Love the Scandinavian style furnishing and recommendation for a local dinner 5min by car. Away from the center, I enjoyed the quiet time compared to staying at Heraklion old town. 13min to Heraklion airport by car.
