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 StatesHonestly we have no complaints. Bring comfy shoes as the area is very mountainous and you will be walking up and down steep hills but it’s the price you pay for the absolute breath taking beauty of the area.
What is there not to like? We had both Sea and Mountain Views from our well-stocked room that came with some coffee to make a Frappe in the morning. Georgina was the best host one could ask for. Incredibly accommodating, one of the nicest people we’ve met in Greece. You’re an about a 10 minute walk to Gythio and about a five minute walk into Mavrouni, the location was great. I would highly recommend anyone coming to the area stays here, you won’t regret it and you’ll have a great time! Make sure you book a room with Sea View!

LithuaniaHands down one of the best stays we have had in a while! We had a corner apartment, top floor and the view was truly breathtaking. Great location if you are with a car - just a few minutes away from Githio. Some great Taverna's within walking distance as well. Extremely clean and comfortable, the owners and all staff were super super nice! Thank you for a lovely stay, highly recommend.

United StatesA little difficult to find with no street number address but visible sign at the location.
Located on road spur on outskirts of Gythio. Corner of road spur has a bakery on opposite side of the road. We had room #5 above the ground floor. On outskirts of Gythio. Drive to village for more restaurants and waterfront street. Large room with small kitchenette room. FANTASTIC wide area sea views from room sliding door and balcony with chairs snd table. Wonderful room darkening patio door shutter. Parking at the site. Very clean and quiet. Easy 5 minute walk to small central Mavrovouni with two restaurants. Also small essentials food store on walk to small village plaza. Nice friendly owner couple make you feel at home. Owner couple live in the same building. A number of friendly cats roaming outside that the owners care for. On edge of small Gythio we visited fenced but visible 2000 year old unrestored Roman theatre. Fun to see a fairly intact ruin without extensive rebuilding that we have seen elsewhere in Europe. Quiet room and exterior location. Peaceful. Great hosts.

United StatesThe hosts could have explained about the door lock procedure and given us the key to the safe but I am nit-picking. No breakfast but there is a nearby bakery. A bit hard to find due to Google Maps famous "shortcuts"
Nice Studio room, very large with just about anything you need for a longer stay. We got the room with our own patio with excellent view of the ocean. Very friendly hosts, they told us the best places to go, eat and visit. Onsite Parking was great, quiet area off the main road.

United KingdomWe highly recommend this accommodation. We stayed in a spacious studio; bright, comfortable, exceptionally clean and well equipped. It had fabulous views from the balcony across the whole bay with a stunning view of Gytheio. Georgia and Andreas are really welcoming and friendly hosts. This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Gytheio and the area.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing 😀
Difficult to be concise as everything was perfect 👍😀 Above all, the hospitality from Andreas, family and everyone involved was absolutely superb - thank you for making us feel so welcome. Our room was spacious, well appointed and had the most amazing uninterrupted sea view. It was spotlessly clean and looked after every day. The location in fairness is uphill from the main road leading from Gythio - not a problem to us but might not suit others (local taxi is only a few Euro). But it is this location that makes this such a lovely peaceful experience. Also, just a short (level) walk away are three superb tavernas and a good local store. Our favourite was The Garden taverna run by a lovely family - great local food and very well priced. Gythio itself is wonderful and very traditional with good selection of shops, cafes and tavernas. Bus station on the edge of town has a waiting room and helpful staff - travelling to / from Athens was easy and a reliable service.

HungaryWe had to leave the studios and Gythio at some point
We fell in love with this place. Stayed for one night initially but then decided to spend the rest of our holiday here (3 days). Spectacular view from the balcony - we spent our evenings and mornings just admiring the sea. Watched the sunrise. Watched the starts in he evening. listened to the sound of waves while falling asleep. The hosting family is super nice and welcoming, gave us good recommendations for places to eat. We managed to drop one of our wedding rings from the balcony, and when we asked the owners to keep an eye on it, they even helped us to find it eventually. Good facilities, newly furnished, comfy bed. The attention to detail is on another level - there was not only soap and shower gel dispensers, but also coffee, herbal tea, sugar available in the kitchenette and even some anti-mosquito repellents. A small separate sun terrace with a recliner on the sunny side of the house. Everything was super clean, the staff made sure that every day even all the faucets were shiny clean. Good parking space, although a bit steep. But you can also leave your car just outside of the property. A big Thank You to he family running the place, we are determined to come back!

United StatesWifi was sometimes a little slow in the evenings - maybe a community problem; not the property.
Magnificent view of the sea from up high with nothing in the way. A good sized balcony with table and chairs. There are steps up to the upper area. Kitchenette was well supplied with everything needed. Shower bath is small but very clean. We loved being there and the owners were very helpful. Plenty of parking in private area or on the street level. Five minute drive into main tourist area of town.
