How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Let me preface my review by stating that we have booked our stay through our go-to travel agency and our previous two holidays at Mitsis Selection Alila on Rhodes might have lead to our high expectations which Royal Mare did not fulfill in...

A truly wonderful resort, which I've now visited twice. Excellent service and always friendly staff; the rooms and the grounds are impeccably maintained. You can really enjoy your holiday here!

A very beautiful resort, very good food, and attentive staff. This applies especially to Maria in the main restaurant, Manolis, Afrodite, Stauros, and Irini. The only downside is that the beach area could be a bit better maintained.

The service is A+, as is typical of every Mitsis resort. The à la carte restaurants are particularly outstanding: Afrodite, Manolis, Fotini, and Irini. Of the à la carte restaurants, the Italian and Mediterranean dishes are the most delicio...

The Mitsis Royal Mare Hotel pleasantly surprised us at first sight – the extensive resort built in the style of a Greek village feels very pleasant and cozy. You will find many nooks, green spaces and alleys ideal for romantic evening walks...

À la Carte Booking Difficulty

This is a very LOW QUALITY hotel, even though I paid $400 per night for a room. Food wasn’t fresh, and selection was very limited. No open bar, you can’t pour yourself a juice or coffee. All orders have to go through servers, who don’t care...

Really good week in Crete - had an issue with a really chavy British couple on day one but the hotel did their very best to make sure we had a great week. Sea view room was stunning, food (as long as you get in the speciality restaurants) w...

The hotel is showing its age, and several areas, such as the spa, need renovation. It also lacks the "show" experience we've become accustomed to at Mitsis. The service, food, and spa services are beyond reproach. Overall, the place is fine...

Unfortunately, the hotel didn't meet our expectations. First of all, the entire hotel is old and hasn't undergone any major renovations. The rooms are old - the air conditioning is very noisy, dating back to the 1970s/80s. The restaurant...
Beach Conditions
Reviewers note that the beach is small, rocky, and less suitable for comfortable swimming.

Exhibit — 2 reviews, near-identical wording
This hotel isn't worth 5 stars – not even 3. The room was a disaster upon arrival: old, dilapidated, dirty, and filthy. The sofa bed mattress was completely soaked, and the curtains were old and hanging down in places. While the room was cleaned daily, it was only superficial – nothing was done to a...

Staff The staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming, definitely a highlight of our stay. Only minor criticism was reception. We arrived late on the Wednesday and there was only one person to check people in and escort guests to their rooms. This resulted in quite a backlog and unnecessary stress...

We stayed there as a family (children aged 8) for six days at the beginning of April. From the location to the service (all the staff were friendly and attentive), we were thrilled with everything. We had a suite right by the sea with a pool, which was impeccably maintained throughout. The buffet of...
