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 KingdomMy bed seemed to be two singles together, so a little annoying during the night. Room door lock was tricky. So nothing major really 😀
Great value (although it was before peak season) Calm, relaxing location, sea view, great service, with restaurant serving good basic food. Wonderful staff.

NetherlandsAlex and Sophia, the hotel's staff, were the epitome of hospitality. Their genuine concern for our well-being and their willingness to go the extra mile to assist with any questions or needs was truly commendable. Their local recommendations, from dining options to nearby attractions, were invaluable and added a personal touch to our stay. The hotel's location was ideal, with the beach just a stone's throw away. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze was a wonderful way to start each day. The proximity to the beach allowed for easy and convenient access to sun, sea, and sand, making our holiday all the more enjoyable. In conclusion, our stay at Hotel Kamelo in Vari was a delight, thanks in no small part to Alex and Sophia's exceptional service. With comfortable accommodations, a serene atmosphere, and a prime location by the beach, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We left with a sense of gratitude and the hope of returning for another unforgettable stay in the future.

Situated in a quiet cove of crystal clear waters, perfect place to disconnect. Although it consists of a small strip of a couple hotels and restaurants, you want for nothing. And it’s a quick trip into Ermoupoli if you needed something more.

FranceFor breakfast having a better coffee machine would be better, so one could make other types of coffees with the same machine, that would be a great plus! Also, in the shower there was no place to put our toiletries, like a small shelf or something would be nice, so that we don't put the shampoo on the floor or so.
The staff were very friendly, the location was nice, the room was Ok, the view from the room was very nice too, and I liked the balcony even if it was small, also the food in the restaurant was very good.

Georgiathe water from the sink was salty and they had a lot of mosquitoes. but I guess it's not their fault.
I loved everything in the hotel. the staff is amazing, very attentive. the best experience in Greece so far. it's right on the beach. The beach was amazing, clean, sandy, water was the cleanest. the hotel has a restaurant down, where the food is delicious and affordable. the lady from reception was very very nice, she made sure we were comfortable in every situation. The best part was that, after checkout, we needed to leave by ferry but the ferry was at night. we decided to stay on the beach, and the lady gave us a whole new spare room, to wash up and get ready for our departure (we didn't expect that coming), without any price added. we were very happy and delighted with that gesture. thank you <3 The place is full of locals, not a lot of tourists, and not too crowdy and noisy. The place is just perfect for a small peaceful vacation. Loved it. the accommodation is according to price, but we had quite a big room for 4 people. if you are looking for peace just go there, it's affordable and comfortable.

RomaniaWe loved absolutely everything in hotel Kamelo.
Amazing people and amazing beachfront hotel. Literally beachfront and from our knowledge the single truly hotel on the beach from Syros. We felt so welcomed and we are very grateful we were so inspired to book at Kamelo hotel 12 nights in total, half of our vacation in Syros. The beds are so very comfortable that we slept so well. In general we felt as home from the very first minute. Gorgeous room with such a wonderful beach and sea view from the balcony. Sophia is extraordinary, such a radiant, luminous lady, always with a huge, sincere smile on her face. She runs so elegantly this wonderful hotel. She told us the story of the hotel that was started by her grandfather. It is a business of 3 generations in her family. Fascinating story and fabulous people. We saw Sophia 's father and uncle dancing with so much passion on a live music evening. The Bolas restaurant of the hotel serve amazing food and the prices are very affordable. The hotel is right on a lovely beach into a charming bay with shallow waters, perfect for families with children. The beds are very comfortable. We slept so well. The bus stop is just 150 m from the hotel Kamelo. The buses come regularly and go to Ermoupolis in 20 minutes.

AustraliaI literally loved everything
Wow. What can I say. I felt so welcomed here. It is a great place to stay away from the crowds and hustle of the main town (ermoulopli) can i say that I felt so comfortable from the first greeting. Sofia was AMAZING. she was very knowledgeable about the island, told me the best spots to check out with the time I had and took me through all the details of the room and facilities. I am gluten free (coeliac) and lactose intolerant, and Sofia made sure that the staff knew when I ordered that everything needed to be cleaned and ok for me. I was truly shocked (in a good way) by the care they took with everything. As for the room. It was comfortable, the balcony was great, a little area to hang wet swimmers and had a fridge to keep water cool. There was also a kettle which I made a tea from. The beds were comfy and literally had too many towels for one person, but very well accommodated. There is parking onsite, I highly recommend booking a car or atv to get around the island. It was super quick to get to from main town/port. I can't stress enough how amazing everyone was. If you're lucky you will catch a live traditional greek gig. Very very lovely. Sofia and the team will take care of you.
