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.).

NetherlandsNothing, everything went well.
The property is lovely and right on the port of Hydra. It's very spacious and with a quaint little balcony that has a gorgeous view. The lovely host Giannis, waited for us at the port and asked when our ferry arrives before hand to be on time. He then gave us a small tour of the apartment, and handed over the keys. He also was kind enough to leave some necessary resources like water, some wine and snacks that were a great touch and made our stay much more pleasant. When we mistakenly locked ourselves out, the host was very quick to provide a second pair of keys and help us get back in the apartment.

United StatesI really can think of nothing!
Host, Yanni, was most gracious and met me at ferry. Regrettably, I didn’t meet his wife who also communicated with me prior to arrival. Due to strong winds, ferry cancelled for two days and they accommodated me seamlessly. Great location and property. They thought of everything a traveler would need.

United StatesThe apartment was fully equipped for a relaxing stay. The hosts had stocked the kitchen with coffee, breakfast items, water and even a bottle of wine. We really enjoyed the proximity to the harbor, less than a block away. It was such fun eating our breakfast on the little balcony with views of the harbor and neighborhood. We enjoyed watching the donkeys laden with luggage and goods make their ways up our narrow street right under our balcony. Across the street was a terrific bakery with wonderful savory pastries in the morning and yummy sweet pastries all day - very tempting. The double glazed windows and doors kept the apartment very quiet when closed. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and always available for questions and help. John met our ferry and helped us with our luggage and showed us the apartment and how everything worked. It was a wonderful 6 day stay.

Great location, was only steps from the wharf where most of the restaurants and shops are located. The apartment was beautiful, a fully equipped kitchen and the hosts provided some provisions such as fruit etc. basically everything we needed. Loved sitting on the side balcony watching the street below and the wharf. The hosts (John and Vasso) were extremely helpful and welcoming. We were met at the ferry on arrived and helped with our luggage to the apartment. Of course Hydra is a beautiful island. Loved our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The property was exceptionally clean and beautifully furnished. The space were large and comfortable. The air conditioning was very efficient. There are 2 air cons and they work well to cool the living space and the mezzanine. We often turned it off that’s how well it worked. The kitchen was a great size. The bedding was very comfortable. The welcome supplies were incredibly generous and thoughtful. Wine, lots of bottled water, a large bowl of fruit, yoghurts, honey, spreads and butter, cookies. We couldn’t get through to it. The location is incredible. I note someone in a previous review said it’s a 3 minute walk to port. This isn’t right. It’s a 10 second walk to port. The apt is basically at the port. A few steps from the apt and you’re there. We loved loved the location. We loved the balcony and the view of the port and boats and the street below. I loved watching the donkeys walking past. It was super easy to walk to many sights and beaches and there were water taxis right at the port vie beaches further away. The hosts vasso and Yianni were such beautiful people. Met us at port, stored our bags until room was ready, then showed us around the apt, gave us valuable information re what to do see etc, were always available if needed and very responsive during the booking process and leading up to the booking. They were just beautiful Greek people who love what they do and want guests to be happy. We adored them. We hope we will come back to beautiful Hydra and if we do we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

AustraliaWhat a beautiful apartment in the most perfect location. A 3 minute walk to the port and easily accessible to everywhere. We absolutely loved that Vaso had provided breakfast essentials as well as cookies and a bottle of wine, such a special touch. Vaso met us at the port and walked us back to the apartment and also held our luggage on the day of checkout as we had a later ferry. Vaso and Gianni were lovely people and we’ll be back to see them! Highly recommend this gorgeous apartment.

United KingdomNothing that we didn’t like. If you are a light sleeper, you might object to the sounds of the street below coming to life in the morning. We loved it!
Bed was really comfortable, the location was FABULOUS-next to lots of shops, coffee shops, bars, restaurants etc and a 3 min walk from where the ferry arrives and departs. The apartment was spotless. our hosts were so lovely-they met us at the ferry and accompanied us to the apartment. There was a lovely welcome pack-biscuits, water, wine, fruit and Greek yogurt 😀.

SwitzerlandWish I could have stayed longer. That weekend was August 15th, Dormition of the Virgin Mary/ “Panagia”, very crowded and too many French tourists, almost like being in Paris.
Very welcoming host, attentive to every detail, apartment has everything needed. Fridge was full of good things to eat and drink and everything for a nice breakfast too. Air conditioning worked fine so apartment was always comfortable. Fan on the mezzanine where the bed is for comfort. Comfortable couch, big TV, with a second one for bedroom viewing. Nice bathroom with top and hand held shower, good water pressure. Washing machine and detergent. Clothes lines and clothespins. Great balcony with table and 2 chairs you can have breakfast and enjoy the view of port activities. You hear the donkeys walk up the street, the pleasant exchanges of the Hydriots, you see the harbour action of beautiful yachts, ferries etc.. The apartment is very beautiful with an intelligent layout, good lighting. Has a range (high-tech) and a microwave. The owner even supplied what is needed to make Greek coffee. Flexible to our needs and made concessions to help us out. Great location ! Having lived at the top of Hydra and having to climb up or go down to town every time, this effortless location is a welcome change. Advantageous location in the heart of the port, access to everything without the effort. I know I'm repeating myself but balcony is GREAT, people watching from the comfort of your home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
