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 Statesnothing!
This place is excellent. the location is perfect to explore Meteora, either by car or foot, within minutes. the staff is the best part. the proprietors were awesome; they have such a great energy and took care of all of our needs and even my special dinner request. speaking of dinner, the associated tavern is excellent. the food was delicious, and even my Greek friend was really impressed. the room is modern and comfortable; the mattress is a bit soft but otherwise great. they don’t offer a full breakfast but has some fruit and pastries and coffee, which was a nice surprise for a place that doesn’t offer breakfast. I would absolutely stay here again and thank the owners and staff for a great stay.

United StatesI just finished my second stay at this small guesthouse, most recently for 5 nights (first time in 2021). In the small town of Kastraki right at the base of Meteora, most balconies will give you a view of the magnificent and peaceful scenery. WiFi is good, rooms have been recently renovated and are cleaned well every day, and free parking is beside the guesthouse. This is a family-owned guesthouse, with an adjacent restaurant - and everyone makes you feel extremely welcome. A small casual breakfast with plenty of coffee is available. I love this place. I had a car and used it as a base to see the monasteries of Meteora, but also other areas nearby.

United KingdomBoutique Holy Spirit Guesthouse is a modern well apportioned guest house very close to the Meteora stone columns. The view from our room was also super over the stone columns (not every room has this view) Breakfast was simple but excellent quality. To top it all the guesthouse is directly behind a lovely traditional taverna and the staff are so welcoming. Can't fault it !

United StatesIt was very loud from both being behind the restaurant and next to a church (bells go off regularly). I could also hear the people in the next room talking...and using their bathroom! That made me shy to use mine. 😬 As well as hearing everything going on in the office/reception area. Ear plugs are strongly recommended to nap or to sleep.
The family who owns this hotel and the restaurant (Taverna Gardenia was delicious) treated me with such kindness. It felt like family. The bed was extremely comfortable! Very nice decor. It's in a perfect location to see the surrounding sites. The tour recommended by Chris was well worth taking. I would stay here again.

United StatesCouldn't get the AC working (think they may not have turned it on yet for the year). So it got a bit toasty. But I was able to crack a window and it was fine
Staff was incredibly friendly. They were extremely attentive and hospitable. Room was cozy and comfortable Ample parking outside Easy check in and check out process Fantastic location near the main road through Meteora. They also provided maps and super helpful info about visiting the sites Included breakfast was simple but sufficient (especially as someone who prefers a lighter breakfast) Would also highly recommend the attached taverna owned by the same owners.

Puerto RicoMy one week stay at Holy Spirit Guesthouse was exactly what I needed. Nikos and Apollonis made me feel as if I were a guest in their own home. They were compassionate and attentive hosts. I slept better than I have in a long time. The bed was cozy and there were lots of soft pillows. I did not expect it, but there was a lovely breakfast in the morning with fresh bread and local pastries. It was a sacred, healing week at the Holy Spirit guest house. Thanks, Nikos, for sharing your story. Life is made up of so many different connections. I am blessed to have met you. My heart-felt regards to you and your family.

PortugalThis boutique hotel is amazing! Super clean, beautiful rooms, awesome staff. The staff member Apostolis is probably the best hotel staff member in the country, giving you the best tips to explore Meteora and always making sure you have a nice stay. The Gardenia restaurant (from the hotel) is also very good. If we come back to visit Meteora, no doubt we will choose this hotel for our stay again.
