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 StatesThe Focolion is just a bit remote to get to… but that did also add to it’s authenticity.
The castle makes such a unique stay. It is close to Aeropoli, and a nice stop off for a trip to Monemvassia. Dimitrios and his Wife were very responsive to our needs and provided us with a sumptuous breakfast. The views from our unit were lovely. All in all, an unforgettable experience.

GreeceLacked a few personal touches in the apartment. It was stated as pet friendly but the owner got in touch to say it wasn't, after some discussion we figured it out.
Really beautiful location and property! Very comfortable flat, easy and close to Aeropoli. Would definitely recommend!

United StatesThe only think we “did not” like was our short stay. We all wished to have the time to spend few more days at this lovely place. Next time.
In addition to the incredible facility, Dimitris and Giota (the owners and main operators of the Focalion Castle) made our stay and experience a PERFECT 10. Thank you both for making our first visit to your lovely place the most memorable experience of our Peloponnese Travel.

United StatesI copied and pasted the address to WAZE, and it took me to the small town nearby. I called to find out how to find the property, but the English was limited. Sadly, I speak no Greek. I found someone in a nearby town who helped me find the property on the map. It's down the zig-zagging road across from the BP gas station. Once you turn on that road, there are clear signs to the property. A sign on the main road would be helpful (if allowed). Also, when the owners were out for a well-deserved day of rest, their sweet, friendly dog barked all day long. I would yell no, then he'd stop for a short time. Then start again. Sigh. He was quiet throughout the night. And he was mostly quiet once they were back. I would have taken him on the porch with me but didn't want to overstep boundaries.
Beautiful property! The veiws were outstanding, and the gardens and landscaping were wonderful. Dimitri and his wife were very kind and thoughtful. The kitchen had everything you might need. Very clean. There were plenty of electrical outlets in perfect spots. The bed was comfortable (not as hard as most here). There's a lovely beach at the bottom of the hill. It's minutes from the Caves of Diros.
