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.).

A quiet spot right on the edge of a crystal clear pebble beach. Excellent value and a kind, very happy owner.

United StatesI loved it all!!!
So this was my second year at Ktima Zaxarias, I loved it so much I came all the way for NYC with Kokkala being my first stop and the beginning of my trip in the Mani region. I love how quiet, off the beaten path and the simplicity of it all. The rooms are simple, new and clean, with a fully stocked kitchenette. The property is nestled in fig and olive trees. The beach is clean and right outside the courtyard. George the host, welcomes everyone that stays on his property as if they’re family. I even had an unfortunate occurrence where I stepped on a bee and my foot started to swell. George was ready to rush me to first med, thankfully the Benadryl and some sprays that he had stocked in his first aid kit did the trick. As much as I worry about my secret getting out and people discovering Ktima Zaxarias, it’s such a special place that it’s worth recommending. See you in 2024 🙏🏻

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
Ktima Zaxarias is a perfect place to stay! Tranquil and beautiful setting right next to Soloteri beach with is white pebbles and crystal blue waters. Comfortable sun beds with drinks and food delivered to the beach. Our room was sparkling clean (cleaned daily) and the air con was so good. No mosquitoes! The WiFi was excellent also. Nearby shop, bakery, bar and taverna but otherwise Kokkala is untouched and unspoiled by tourism. We had the beach to ourselves and the swimming was great - the water was clear, clean with idyllic. George was the perfect host and a very kind man, he brought us figs and pastries in the morning. Very highly recommended.

United KingdomThe property itself was faultless, just the town is a little grim. So much litter, including the beach. This is obviously not the owners fault but does detract a little from the peacefulness and loveliness of the accommodation.
Beautiful property in stunning location. Owner so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Perfect set up and so relaxing. Great value for money.

South AfricaThe outside lights are bright and shine into the room and on all night meaning we can’t keep the shutters open to feel the breeze and listen to the sea.
The location is on the sea, you could not get closer to it. The hostess is lovely, and sitting amongst the olive trees listening to the waves is second to none.

United StatesThe town of Kokkala itself isn't especially interesting, and there is little choice for food in the town. Within the room itself, kitchen was very small and the stove was old and difficult to use. At the time we were there there was a neighborhood dog that barked a lot; not the hosts' fault, but it was very annoying.
Excellent snorkeling just steps from the room. Relaxing on the hammock. Watching the sunrise. Peace and quiet. Staff on duty while we were there did not speak English but did a great job using google translate to communicate with us. Private covered parking was great; very secure. Property and room were very clean. The pictures are accurate showing the room, patio, and view of the ocean.

RussiaI don't think it is a minus, just for information: shower is without a cabin, which is rather typical
Friendly staff, eager to help and comfort you, clean and convenient room with small but well equipped kitchen. Hotel is hiding in a garden, beach is right in front of the fence door (keep in mind, sunbeds don't belong to the hotel, you'll have to pay). Supermarket is within walking distance. Calm and quiet place to rest and explore Mani.

United KingdomThe hotel was perfectly located, with a small olive grove with hammocks then opening out onto a pebble beach with beautiful clear water and perfect for swimming. The room was comfortable, air conditioned and had a useful small kitchen to prepare simple meals to be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the sea. The area is not set up for lots of tourists, so it was very peaceful and quiet. There is a cafe and small supermarket just up the road, 2 restaurants in the town and a bakery. There is lots to explore by car nearby - a beautiful part of the world. If you are after a quiet, peaceful and restful holiday - I would highly recommend Kt
