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 are 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 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.).

NetherlandsThe breakfast was very bad, basic and not able to have an espresso or a cappuccino (not even paying), in addition, mosquitoes were swimming in the jam jar. You could hear all teh sounds from other rooms, I woke up quite often as I could hear all the noise from other rooms.
The reception girl, Dimitra, was super nice and helpful. She helped booking a taxi and giving advice on the excursions. Location is perfect, close to everything and just one of the best in the area.

SerbiaBeds were not comfortable even though we had double bed, matrice was really bad, size of the room is okay, bathroom is okay also. Staff is cleaning room every day so no issues there.
Room was okay but view was fantastic really like 20 meters from the sea so you can sit on terrace and go take a short swim in sea and come back. Breakfast was okay staff is really polite :)

HungaryThere was a problem with the toilet. The receptionist immediately called the repairman who was not able to fix it (but at least made it worse) that day because the hotel did not have the right tool for the valve. We could not use the toilet properly for 24 hours. (We got a water bucket to use it since there was no water in the tank of the toilet.) The staff promised that the manager would come and at least talk to us, but it never happened. Paying more than 100 euros/night for a room that does not have a toilet is a rip off. No compensation was offered and the manager has not apologized either.
The location is picturesque since the hotel is on the beach. The breakfast is fine, however it was always the same. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar. There are plenty of shops and tavernas (e.g. Taverna Kastri which is highly recommended) nearby. The pool is fine, but sometimes crowded. The bus stop to the airport and Kos town is 200 meters from the hotel. The staff was really nice (except the manager) and they always tried their best to make our stay more convinient.

GermanyMosquito nets at the balcony door would have been really great. The walls and doors are also quite thin. Some more fresh fruit at the breakfast would be nice. The beach segment of the hotel is rather stony.
Nice view from the balcony. Own pool (which we did not use though). Nice breakfast (although some watermelon would have been nice and actual fruit juices). AC. Cute hotel cat(s). Very friendly and forthcoming staff. When we had to leave one night earlier, this posed no problem and we were refunded that night. That's great!

United StatesVery dim lighting in bathroom so hard to put in contacts and shave. You have to sign onto a web site after connecting to wifi and drops after awhile requiring signing in again. Air conditioner did not work.
Wonderfull view in superior sea view room. Nice tiled balconey with table and chair semi private with clothes line with fabulous view of island and mountains. Modern bathroom with good fixtures, basket for products in shower and shelf space around basin. Adequeate space to put away hang and put away clothes. Small room Bed pushed up againts the wall and no second reading light. Desk with stool to work on laptop. Adequete electrical outlets. Good breakfast with 3 kinds of eggs. coffee decent, , spinach pastries although not fresh cut fruit. Friendly staff. No elevator but someone took luggage up stairs. Nice sized pool. Great mini-market a few steps away with really good Greek salads and sandwiches. I recommend the hotel in spite of my negative comments

SpainWe just loved everything!
Kordistos Hotel was just perfect. I went to Kos with my boyfriend and we decided to stay in Kefalos since we found more attractive beaches there. We went in May, which is low season, so the hotel was super empty, but the service was amazing. On the first night, we missed some batteries for the TV and also a blanket, and Johanna was super nice to us, providing us with everything that we needed, she was always available for us and we really appreciated it. The breakfast was also delicious, the views were amazing, and again, no words for the service. We really felt at home. On the last day, we had to to the checkout way before our flight, so Johanna let us take a shower in the hotel before the trip. Totally coming back!

GermanyNothing much! The bathrooms could use an update and it would be nice to have some sort of decoration on the walls to brighten up the studios a bit.
The staff was just lovely and it really had the atmosphere of being a family-run place. The pillows were incredibly comfy and we really liked that the studio had a real double bed rather than two single beds pushed together, which is often the case. We really appreciated that they had drying racks for your wet bathing suits and towels. The breakfast was nice, especially considering that the cooking staff had the tough job of having to have enough variety for so few guests in the off-season. They were always offering to make more of this or that when something ran out, which is great to avoid food waste.

Czech RepublicThe walls are very thin, you can hear everything going on in the adjacent rooms, and the door mechanism is very loud so any time someone opens a door somewhere in the hotel you hear it. They had a dog tied up right under my window that barked regularly for extended periods of time. The shower was just a drain in the corner of the bathroom, so every time you shower you flood the whole bathroom and get the entire room wet (toilet, toilet paper, walls, door, etc), the door was swollen from being constantly wet so it didn't close properly. The wifi was absolutely TERRIBLE, i work while i travel and this made my life very difficult.
the location was perfect, right on the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room had blackout curtains. Nice balcony.

United KingdomThe room was very cramped. The double bed was in a corner, you could only get out of one side. No drawers, no where for the cases. One of the smallest rooms I have every stayed in. Our friends room was a great size .. so luck of the drawer. Wouldn’t put us off going again.. we would just clarify before confirming.
The staff were very helpful .. family run and you could tell. Nice, friendly and would find the answer even if they didn’t know. The bed was very comfortable. Great sea view from our room

SwitzerlandWhen showering it was impossible not to get a lot of water on the bathroom floor. The floor was always wet. The cleaning could have been more frequent and better. The television had only Greek channels (nothing in English!). Although we booked the superior bungalow, the room was rather small and there was no view. But for the price, we felt it was adequate.
The location at the beach was fantastic, beautiful view of Kastri Island. You could enjoy this wonderful view every morning when eating breakfast outside at the little café. The breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The beach itself was fine, although water shoes are to be recommended. The staff and family running the hotel were very friendly. WiFi worked well. The hotel is not far from the airport (about 15 minutes by taxi), but there was no problem with airplane noise. The beds were comfortable. The hotel is not expensive, good value for money. Within walking distance are a couple taverns, among them Taverna Kastri and Antonio's, which served good food.
