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.).

NetherlandsThis is the second time I come back to this apartment and it’s the best in the whole island! The view is stunning and you find everything you need in the apartment.

LithuaniaNothing regarding the apartment. Just a recommendation about local cafes for guests: there's a Carnagio Cafe nearby. Stay away from this place! The cafe owner tried to scam us. they don't give menu or receipt, demand cash even if after they lied they accept card. They also tried to charge us 45 EUR for spoiled unfresh food. This is the worst place to eat that you can find on the island.
Stayed there for 3 days during low season. The host was very helpful and responsible. She met us near the ferry and brought us to the apartment. She also offered us free pick-up early in the morning on the day of departure. Perfect location and great view from the terrace. We will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomNothing, it was perfect.
The Studios are in a great location, just a short 5 minute walk into central Symi. It had everything you needed, from a coffee machine, air conditioning, to guides on Symi which was a great touch. The view is breathtaking. The host is quick to respond and we were able to check in early which was a bonus!

NetherlandsAmazing place to stay in Symi! Close by to the restaurants but in a quieter area. It had a view out of this world! I read some reviews about many stairs but I think those were a bit exaggerated. For us access seemed pretty easy.

United KingdomThis is NOT something we didn’t like, you climb the steps for the stunning view, well worth it. Amazing. It is worth mentioning to other travellers however, if you struggle with stairs/steps, you may have some issues with very top Studio.
We loved the location and the terrace, plus it was super clean. It had everything we needed - washing machine, iron, toaster, coffee maker!! Fab. As for the view!!! Stunning!! ❤️ And we loved Kleanthi - she is a wonderful person with a beautiful soul.

United KingdomThough it did not bother us there are too many steps up to the apartment for someone less able bodied but that is Symi harbour for you
The host was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way for things to be perfect for you. The studio though not large had everything you needed and more. Just could not ask for more. Stunning views over the harbour. Quiet but literally a minutes walk from restaurants, cafes and bars.
