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.).

GreeceThe older gentleman tried to con me on the price of the taxi to the airport. He told me the fare was 35 euros and I was to pay him and he would pay the taxi driver. I guess I look more gullible that I thought! I paid the taxi driver 20 euros! Just a heads up warning!
Great location. Clean.

United KingdomDifficult access to tea and coffee in the morning (kettle, etc in room would be very good) No option to opt out of having your room cleaned in the day Not sure how comfortable a long stay would be due to fridge and electric in the room (although fridge may have been on a different circuit-I didn’t try)
The view is absolutely spectacular! Staff friendly and kind enough to have kept our luggage while we waited for our ferry. Room nice and clean

AustraliaToo many steps especially if you have heavy luggage. Uneven road leading to the hotel makes pulling luggage up there a challenge. The hotel is also quite dated & in desperate need of a revamp. We didn’t have breakfast but had a look and it is very basic. 
The property was quite close to the port & centrally located.

AustraliaThere were many steps to get to the hotel and although worth the effort for the views it was quite difficult for an older, unfit person such as myself to get there with my suitcase. I should mention there were lifts once inside the hotel. I also didn't particularly like the pillows.
The view from my room no:123 was on the top floor and the views were absolutely spectacular. Location was central to village square. My room was clean and comfortable.

CanadaNothing. We really liked this family run hotel. It’s rooms are modest and well-priced.
The Kastro is an excellent value hotel with harbour views in Agios Kirykos, a charming town on Ikaria. It was immaculately clean with a number of extra features that we liked. It has a small pool with a shaded lounging area with harbour views -a wonderful place to cool off on hot afternoons. The air conditioned room had a mini-fridge and small balcony with a view. The breakfast was good and well-priced. The owner was helpful and informative about Ikaria. He let us know what was going on in the town and where the festival ( panagyri) was, etc. Some reviews have mentioned the steps to the hotel as a negative.But is not uncommon for Greek island towns to have steps and hills. Second, there is a road ( if you arrive as we did by taxi or car, you drive up to the door, no steps). All in all this hotel was perfect for our 5 day stay. We heard local musicians ( and danced) , swam in nearby natural hot springs, watched the Independence Day parade and the annual chess tournament.

CanadaI would not recommend this hotel to anyone with mobility issues. We have stayed there a number of times but the many steps to reach it and then to get to the room was challenging this time.
We like the funky vibe…no one trying too hard. We like the views from the terraces.
