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.).

United KingdomThe beds are not the most comfortable but if you are travelling for a few days only, nothing to discourage you from visiting.
A nice little hotel a bit outside of the main central area. The rooms are good enough with a variety of views to choose from. Breakfast rich and with variety. Staff super friendly and accommodating.

United StatesWish we could have had an ocean view from our room, but view from hotel porch made up for that.
Breakfast was the best ever, and eating it on the porch overlooking the Aegean was wonderful. Location was perfect, just around the bend from all the action in the port. Hotel staff was helpful, even carried our bags up the steps. Room was comfortable and clean.

United KingdomVery little really. The shower curtain was slightly short. I was worried about the lack of a lift but our room was on the first floor and the layout wasn’t suitable, so this was no real handicap. More of a problem if you were on a higher floor. A request to Irieni ensured that she was aware of my problem and made adequate provision.
Exceptionaly friendly and helpful staff, great location just outside the town centre. Best view of any hotel in Scala, especially our room and the breakfast terrace and bar. Good and varied breakfast, especially the pies. Very clean frequent towel change.

Blue Bay offers comfortable accommodation in an ideal location with friendly and helpful staff who showed great generosity. The breakfast was the best I have had on my two months of travelling with a lovely array of traditional Greek foods. The room was serviced each day.

United StatesThe Hostess, Erieni was super helpful. She made the stay better by being very accommodating and friendly. The location was an easy walk from the ferry terminal and each evening for supper, an easy walk into Skala. Blue Bay is a basic hotel so don't expect luxury but the view is beautiful, it's easy to walk into town, they had a nice little breakfast buffet.

ItalyThe hotel Is in an old building and rooms are not really soundproofed and you can ear every kind of noise from corridors and other rooms. Not really a problem for me but there Is no lift and can be tricky if you travel with lot of luggages
The staff Is super helpful and friendly. They gave me good advices and helped me also to book another hotel since i made a mistake in my reservation. The location Is really few steps from port and Village in a quiet area. Breakfast, sweet and salty, can be enjoyed on the terrace Rooms are basic but super clean. Recommended

AustraliaSome rooms require a number of stairs to reach which is difficult with heavy luggage as there is no lift. Beds should be replaced as they are too soft.

NorwayThe wifi was not working all the time. Bad wifi connection in the room. Slow wifi.
Nice location just a minute away from the town center. The room was nice and clean. I liked specifically that that staff was quick to answer on booking when I asked something. Liked that it's pet friendly. The hotel doesn't have parking but it wasn't a problem to find a space by the roadside just outside of the hotel.

AustraliaThe staff at Blue Bay Hotel, Chrisa and Ireni were amazing, friendly and very professional. They both went out of their way to provide us with information on various sites to visit and places to eat. Upon request Chrisa went above and beyond and organised a car rental for the day which was so convenient and saved us time and money instead of running around. Keep up the fantastic customer service Chrisa and Ireni.
