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.).

Monemvasia si a beautiful place. Staying at kissamitakis guest house you are in an ancient walled city and still have all the facilites of modern life, even more than in our home. We could hace hot showers, wash our clothes, heat water, make orange juice... George has everything you need and more for a confortable stay (cofee maker, steam iron, tv, tablet games, books and magazines of monemvasia...) He even left food for us to make breakfast. George was always present for everything we needed. The main showers is outside the house, but is something we already knew for the descripción. It is logical given the ancient place and was no burden at all. You came off the shower, saw the ocean and inmediatly entered the main room. Exceeded our expectations in every way.

Canadaloved everything!
The location was outstanding- right in the heart of everything! The staff (Gianna) was so helpful and patient. It took us a very long to arrive (2.5hrs late) and she was very helpful in meeting us, showing us to the location, pointing out key spots and making recommendations for restaurants. The view from the balcony was amazing!!

United Kingdom- Only thing I'd say is that the tap water tasted awful. Not sure if this is an issue across Monemvasia but I'd recommend taking plenty of bottled water
- The owner, George, met us at the property and was a font of knowledge about the local area and its history. - George did everything he could to make the stay as comfortable as possible - Lovely sunrise view from the balcony - Beers in the fridge is always a winner 😁

United StatesWe liked everything. It took a little while to find one of the light switches but that was more amusing than annoying.
It was a wonderful apartment, very conveniently located, clean, and comfortable. Our host arranged for someone to meet us near the entrance to the city and guide us to the apartment.

United StatesAs senior adults(late 70’s), we found the steps difficult. The bathroom was downstairs, and the bedroom upstairs. It was a traditional guest house so we should have expected this.
loved the terrace…spent relaxing time there. Liked the quietness of the upper town. The property was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the owner providing a lot of helpful information ahead of our arrival. Parking was of concern, but there was a bus every 30!minutes …no luggage, but we unloaded at the gate, parked at the bottom and rode bus back up.

United StatesExcellent location within the castle, close to everything (shops, restaurants, the beach, the historic section at the top of the hill). Spacious, clean and well equipped. If it's important to you, do inquire about the rooftop patio, as one is much larger and has a better view than the other.

NetherlandsAbsolutely adorable little house in the center of Monemvasia. It had everything we needed and more (could have easily stayed here for a week: there’s books, board games, Bluetooth speaker, smart tv with Netflix, a lovely roof terrace to enjoy). Our stay was very comfortable. We loved the personal touches in the interior and the comfort of the bedroom. The host waited for us at the city gate and showed us the way to the house and also gave tips about what to see and do. Location is perfect; super close to the center where bars and restaurants are but in a quiet area. Close walking distance to everything. Would absolutely recommend.
