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 KingdomNothing to dislike.
Great location, spotlessly clean, very spacious and lovely view from balcony. Hosts Heleni and Poppy were really attentive, even providing us with food they were cooking for themselves. Bed was extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Astypalea.

United KingdomThe only slight problem was the bathroom being smaller than I expected, there isn’t much space around the toilet but as it was only me it wasn’t much of an issue at all!
I loved the room, the view was spectacular from the balcony, the beds super comfy and great location despite lots of stairs to go up into Chora or stairs down to the port and beach but both within 5 minutes of each other which was perfect for me.

HungaryBit more uphill than imagined based on the description and comments. It made especially diffucult our arrival (by a night ferry, at 1am) with two very heavy luggages. Actually we have asked several times the host beforehand how to go up but she said just follow the GPS. We did it. And Google proposed the wrong (shorter but impossibly steeper) way with hundreds of very steep steps besides a less steep but longer route. Exactly this is the information that we asked and havent received from the host. So choose the longer way from the port.
Very nice big terrace with great panorama, very clean (with daily cleaning), much nicer enterieur and bathroom than on the pictures. More uphill (5 mims) there is the centre of the uptown (windmills) with many restaurants, supermarket etc.

United KingdomSteps. Everywhere, but makes views amazing. Town on steep hillside. Ensuite a bit small and tight but useable. Wind. Quite strong when I was there. Apparently often windy. Preventing me getting an ATV. Some form of transport needed if you wish to see the island.
Remote island off beaten track! Met from ferry with clear sign. Driven to nearest point, then many steps to studio. Superb view from room and balcony over Pera Gialos port and up to kastro. Bars and tavernas either up steps to windmill area or down steps to port area where there is more including travel and rental agents. Prices on island generally good. Cheaper than many. Departure ferry was late afternoon. Was able to collect luggage after a morning out. Blue Star Ferry currently using old port (better) after problem at Agios Andreas. Host speaks good English and she was very helpful.

After 49 years of coming to Greece and travelling throughout the country, I don't ever remember sleeping in such a comfortable bed... far, far superior to the majority. Great location, stunning views and close to the Square in Chora and mini market... Pera Gialos also very accessible.

United KingdomThe property itself was idyllic, in design, facilities, and aspect. Astypaleia itself involves lots of steps, going up and down from the Chora to the harbour/sea level.
The location looked up to the Chora and down to the Skala/Harbour at the same time.

GreeceThe room was clean and the owner really sweet and helpful. The view from the balcony(which was spacious) was amazing and the bed really comfy! The location is fine , just 2-3 mins to Astypalea centre and about 5-6 mins to Pera Gyalos beach. I recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to feel a real Greek hospitality and enjoy a great view to the beach. Value for money for sure.

ItalyThe place is difficult to reach. I had to wait at the port on arrival for a couple of hours.. eventually got hold of a taxi (there are only 2 on the island and sometimes very busy for flights arriving or departing). Could not get hold of the owners.. anyway, nobody’s fault, but could have been anticipated or/and avoided.
The owner was sweet, her mother was also very sweet! the location has a stunning view!! my room had two windows and therefore it had a lovely breeze at night! woke up at dawn and was delighted by the sunrise!!
