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.).

UkraineEverything was great
The interior of the apartment is lovely, and comfy, and has everything we need. The terrace is also cozy and quiet with a nice view of the surrounding hills. We liked the location - a little outside the city center while close to some beaches. The apartment can be reached by two roads - along the sea or through the town. Both roads are nice and pleasant. The hosts were very friendly and informative, they stayed in touch with us and provided or helped us with everything we could have needed.

United StatesApartment has no lounging or dining areas - just bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. There is a large patio with table and chairs that served as our social space.
Communication with the hosts was great. They answered all questions and met us along the way from the port to the lodging. Apartment is small and charming. Location is great. Easy walk to port, beaches and restaurants.

Lovely little property. Clean, well kept, comfortable. Great communication from host. The walk is around 15mins from the port.

AustraliaSmall but sweet with everything you need. We were greeted in person by the owners who are delightful and very accommodating . The location was fabulous for us, a walk from the bustling port of hydra in a quiet little locale but a short stroll from swimming places and restaurants and a 5-10 min walk into the old town. Perfect!

United KingdomI would happily pay for breakfast supplies as it is a good walk back to port to pick up supplies and carry back.
The apartment is spacious, clean and in a quiet area away from the port in Kamini. We were met by the lovely Nina at the port when we arrived and we decided to take a sea taxi to the accommodation as the walk is quite strenuous with luggage at lunchtime! Loved the outside space and our cat friends.

Greeceone watch out is that it’s a bit further from town and due to the stone pathway from the port it’s not very easy to approach with suitcases. it’s around a 20 minute walk from the boat. The route there is very nice though.
The apartment was perfect, clean and new with all amenities and the host was very friendly and accommodating. The area is quiet and the bed super comfy! I would recommend!

United KingdomThe staff didn’t meet me as planned from the ferry, meaning I had to carry my suitcases for 15/20 mins down a long path in the hot sun. Noisy construction work going on outside.
Clean, great location and design. Cool and comfortable in the hot Hydra sun. And I had my own private courtyard!

Lovely place. comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, great location - in between main town and some of the nicer beaches - approx. 10 min walk to each.

United StatesThe person that met us at the ferry left rather a bad taste in our mouth (though we soon got over it because everything else was so great). She treated us like we were "dumb tourists" which is rather a weird stance for someone working in tourism—and since she doesn't know our background. We were given the option to take a sea taxi or walk. We chose to walk because the price she quoted us for the taxi was very high—surprised the property doesn't have an agreement with a taxi company. The walk is lovely without suitcases but not pleasant with them due to rolling hills and cobblestones. The only thing that I wished we had in the house was extra bath mats because they got quite wet.
The two bedroom apartment is beautiful, very comfortable, and clean. The design/aesthetic was very enjoyable and relaxing. High quality, comfortable beds and pillows and the beds are all platform beds so they're a good level of firm. I traveled here with my father and it was lovely to have two bathrooms. The kitchen was nicely equipped and had a good espresso maker. Someone even came into the house each day to take the trash and clean up crumbs etc, which attract ants (they always came while we were out of the house—even when we left the house late—so we never saw them). The windows let in great breezes, so we didn't even need the AC all the time, and also have nice wood shutters to block out the light. The terrace is beautiful and has a nice view of the mountains and other homes. The apartment shares a gate with another apartment but the terrace is private to this apartment. I'm very glad that we stayed here outside of the port. It was much quieter, the walks along the coast to the port and to beaches the opposite direction were really lovely, and the tavernas out here are generally better. There's a small grocery less than 5 min walk, which has everything you need (though they run out of bread).

United StatesFor us, the property was in a great location, because it was away from all the tourists and crowds, but still only a 15 minute walk to town and the port. It is close to the beach, a water taxi pick-up and great restaurants. The house was not fancy and had just the basics, but those basics were super important to our comfort - the beds and pillows were so incredibly comfortable, which is so rare! we slept so well! and the shower was fantastic! would absolutely go there again. thanks!
