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.).

we ended up with a whole studio which was lovely! it is in a good location if you like quiet and traditional but there are regular buses down to the port for more hustle and bustle. Good places to eat and the hosts were lovely and gave us homemade liquor, which was delicious!

CanadaOne of the breakers for one of the rooms wasn’t working the first day but they quickly got it fixed. There were roosters outside the unit that woke us up most mornings but wasn’t an issue with ear plugs or if waking up at a normal time!
Couldn’t have asked for a more ideal location. Beautiful view outside the rooms and 1 min walking distance from the best restaurants of our trip. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

United StatesRoom is small, bathroom is tiny (can’t bend over to pick up shampoo on floor of shower type thing - no shelf for shampoo ..) the shower leaked whatever we did with the shower door or however short our shower was! we had a very unfriendly reception on our arrival, no one picks you up at the port or is around to ask questions etc. For the money we paid - and it was the most expensive place we stayed in 4 weeks in the islands - we were disappointed. we experienced fabulous hospitality in all the other places!! if we had not been paying as much it wouldn’t have bothered us as much.
great location with a nice view if you are lucky - our terrace was overlooked by a family house. Quite gruelling walk down a path to the beach (30 mins and steep, or steep road) bus infrequent so most people have a car. Situated in a lovely village.

AustraliaThe bed was a little bit hard, the bath a bit awkward, there is no kettle (we used a pot on the stove to heat water), no coffee or tea provided. And you need a car or a bus to go to the beaches (though we walked down to Agieli). It's recommended to have your own car, but bus is also easy enough.
Stefano the host was wonderful and accommodated every need quickly. The location is amazing if you like village life and great views. Tholaria is an incredible little village and it's not too far from the beaches. The restaurants in Tholaria are exceptional!!

GermanyThe room is a bit old. Because it is very close to garden, there are a lot of insects and they might come in at night if you don’t close the windows or door properly.
The location is very convenient if you want to do hiking. The bed was comfortable. The staff was very responsive, kind and helpful. There is also a dog! The terrace also offers very good sunset view.

United StatesOMG! The location, for starters - this is sheer poetry, the terraced mountain view, and the wind in the wild palms - I could have stayed a month. The room was the nicest, largest, well-lighted one I had encountered in my stays at six budget level-pensions in my travels. The family that runs the place were very kind and helpful.

United KingdomThe property could do with a bit more maintenance. For example, we couldn't keep the bottom part of the door closed when the top part was open (this was a big issue, as there was a very strong wind blowing straight at the door the whole time we were there - no possibility of sitting on the terrace outside the room - and wind is not unusual on Amorgos). The toilet seat had a crack in it. A proper table and two dining chairs would be better than the coffee table (and its low chairs) and the inadequate 'breakfast bar'.
The room was a good size and the platform bed was very comfortable. Lovely view (but see below).

Evi is so friendly and warm. She didn’t only allow us a very late check-in, she also picked us from the port free of charge, which I have never experienced with no host on Booking.com before. She even welcomed us with cakes. We felt very comfortable at Evi’s Studios. The view is breathtaking. The room’s decoration ist really exceptional. The bed is very comfy. Everything was clean.

GermanyThe studios are perfectly located in the picturesque village Tholaria. Each morning you wake up with an ocean view complemented by donkeys and a unique mountain landscape. At night, as Tholaria is located uphill from the port of Aegiali, we enjoyed a clear night sky and a view across the entire island part of Aegiali (including Langada, Tholaria and the hiking trails with multiple monasteries). Apart from an ideal location, Evi's Studios trumps with an amazingly friendly and assisting host as well as cozy apartments. Would highly recommend the place to anyone who enjoys a quiet and traditional Greek village with lots of hiking options around the corner. Busses bring you to all the relevant places and beaches across the island multiple times a day.

NetherlandsWe don’t really have anything we did not like. It is a little difficult to reach with no car, but that might be the case for all villages in such an island.

BelgiumThe room itself is rather small with barely any space to open your luggage apart from on the bed itself. The shower/toilet is tiny, my guess 3-4 sqm - impossible to close the curtain (otherwise you can’t move) so the water is splashing everywhere. Bad smell from the sewer. Upon arrival we were greeted by a member of a staff who barely spoke any Greek or English and just pointed us into the room (so a kind of self check-in with little/no interaction with the staff). At least a bottle of water on arrival would have been nice, as is customary in all other places we have stayed. And the worst of all - we were devoured by mosquitoes! Woke up in the middle of the night to kill a dozen inside the room, none of the windows have mosquito nets, no mosquito repellent or a warning were provided.
Comfortable bed, nice surroundings (blooming flowers in the garden) and location uphill in Tholaria.
