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.).

AustraliaThere’s nothing to dislike about Alea!
WE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT ALEA APARTMENTS! Simos and Mumma Mi were incredibly hospitable during our stay! They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived - great location, restaurant and beach recommendations and history lessons and even organised a hire car for us. Would highly recommend staying here - Simos and Mumma Mi are the reason we loved Paros as much as we did.

BrazilI have no words to describe how perfect was our stay at Alea! Location is very convenient for those who take the bus from Parikia and just a 5-minute walk to Naousa center. The room is big, well equipped and comfortable. Breakfast was served in the room or in the common areas. But the best part was the hospitality. I felt part of the family of Simos and Maria. Also, they gave us the best advices and tips to enjoy the island. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

AustraliaAlea Apartments offers everything you want when traveling. The accommodation is very comfortable with most rooms offering water views. What makes this place special is the hosts. Both Simos and Maria (mother and son) are the most generous and friendly host we encounter over our 5 weeks. 6 Greek islands visit. The breakfast is simply amazing. We stayed 6 days with each morning being greeted with a hand delivered basket full of Greek goodies. As soon as you arrive to check in you are greeted by this most humble and generous family. Simos, takes the time to give you a detailed overview of what to do and see while in Paros. Once Maria sees you she welcomes you with the biggest smile and open arms. The walk into town is an easy 700 meters. The complex offers excellent free car parking which is a real bonus.

BelgiumAlea Apartment hosts Simos and (Mama) Maria were absolutely outstanding. Possibly the best part of our Greece trip! They could not have been more welcoming. The apartments are lovely, in a great location and every day a delicious breakfast is provided. On top of that, Simos gave us the best local recommendations so that we had the most special trip. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Everything! Location was close to town without being too loud. The view was wonderful. The apartment well equipped and clean. The hosts were some of the kindest and most helpful people we’ve encountered in all of our travels. You will never go hungry with Mama Maria around!

We were collected from the port by Simos, who gave us a very warm welcome. He told us about the area and the island (he has a vast knowledge). He recommended activities and restaurants according to our needs and likes. The accommodation is comfortable and Maria is a darling. You leave feeling like family :)

AustraliaWe searched for something less than perfect but we could not find anything! :)
We loved this property and got a nice local experience of Paros. Simos was a wonderful host helping us plan excursions, places to eat and transfers etc. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Delightful breakfast each day with local produce. The property was a short walk from Naoussa. We hired a car for a few days which was a great way to explore the island. Bottom line, if you go to Paros stay here!

AustraliaAs a hot sleeper I struggled in what was peak Greek summer, the air con couldn't keep the room with the double bed cool enough for me to comfortably sleep. This is offset by the small single beds in the room with the aircon unit, once I moved into there I slept with no issues.
The most genuine and hospitable hosts I've ever come across, it's like staying at Yiayia's house. They upgraded our accommodation due to a cancelation and constantly offered advice, food and drinks. Location was a brief and easy stroll into town.

Very well located, only a 10 min walk into the city centre where you have shops, bars and restaurants and the bus stop. Also walking distance to a lovely beach. Maria and Simos were incredibly hospitable and gave us plenty of great recommendations. The room was clean and watching the sunset from the balcony was incredible.

United KingdomEVERYTHING was outstanding. Alea is the most beautiful example of excellent hospitality from Simos and Mama María. I would rather stay in this beautiful, clean, fresh apartment than in any 5 star hotel in the world. Simos’ map of the island with all the recommendations was perfect for our 4 days and Mama María kept us fed, caffeinated and smiling every day. The breakfasts were stunning and clearly made with love and care using local ingredients that changed every day. It was great to be able to take an umbrella for the beach. Everyone should experience Naousa from Alea!

United StatesThat we had to leave :-(
We have stayed in numerous hotels in many different places because of work, life, etc. We can honestly say that we have never been this treated this well anywhere, ever. We were not treated like another pair of guests passing through - we were treated like family. Upon arrival hours earlier than our check in time, Mama Maria took me by the arm and guided my wife and I to snacks and drinks. After turning down a gracious ferry port pickup that was offered over text, we finally got to meet Simos to go over what Paros had to offer. He was interested in what we wanted to see and do and had the best recommendations. He also offered to give a tour of the church in Parika (DO IT!). What ensued was an evening we will never forget, and goes to show what true open-hearted kindness looks like. The breakfast chats with Natasha (what a breakfast!). Maria making us laugh in passing every time with her tireless warmth. And Simos somehow finding the time in his crazy schedule to make sure not only we were taken care of, but every guest staying there as well. Its a true shock to the system to see how lovely and hospitable this family can be ( which also includes Simos’ father, Aristides!) Thank you so much for your time and energy. We miss you all and Alea very very much.
