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 truly authentic place in a fantastic location. Being unable to use cars there, the house's position at the gate's entrance was ideal. This allowed us to easily transport our suitcases to the house. Rena was the best and the most friendly host we’ve ever had! She helped us out with everything we needed! It felt like when you come visit your family.

Our hostess was so accommodating and wonderful. Very sweet and full of recommendations. She provided some snacks and fruits, even drinks! Overall an extraordinary stay.

United StatesNone, our stay was perfect.
If you happen to be in Monemvasia and you are lucky enough to have this property available during hour stay, book it immediately. It is ideally located just beyond the castle gate so you don’t have to lug your things across town (remember cars are not allowed inside the castle wall). It is recently renovated but is an authentic Greek home with a jaw-dropping view of the water from its very large private balcony. The kitchen is well stocked and the host, Rena, is a joy to meet. Monemvasia itself is a unique and beautiful gem of a town. We hope to come back and when we do, we hope to stay at Myrsini’s again.

United Statesnothing!
What a lovely stay! It’s a beautifully restored old home, very near to the gates of the castle (so convenient), but it also feels very private and away from the tourists. The space was great for our group, good size, two bathrooms and stocked kitchen and the private terrace has a fantastic view right to the ocean. Also, Rena was absolutely wonderful! She was not only friendly and accommodating, but she had lots of excellent recommendations both in Monemvasia and in the surrounding area. Highly recommend!

Greece-
The house is magnificent, very conveniently located close to the entrance of the castle. The view is really nice and the veranda is great for afternoon- night chill-out. It is spacious, clean, with all the amenities we needed. The owner is extremely hospitable and kind. There are some options for breakfast nearby, even an option for breakfast brought to the door by a nearby cafe. In brief, we couldn’t have asked more!

everything was perfect: the beautiful house is tastefully decorated, confortable, very well equipped, the view from the terrace is stunning, the location is great: a few meters from the entrance gate inside the kastro but in a quiet area and we felt really welcomed by Rena (who speaks at least Greek, English and French). She left us a welcome pack of handmade marmalades, fresh fruits, juices, softs, wine and bread for our arrival, helped us with the luggage, gave us us great advise for our stay, always kept in touch to make sure we didn’t need anything and she is one of the rare people who actually lived in the kastro, so she knows a lot about everything in the area. If you can afford it, go ahead without hesitation. Monemvassia is gorgeous and so is the area around.

United StatesGreat location in the castle. It is one of the first homes, therefore the walk is easy. The house is large, clean and has a wonderful patio with a view. The castle is MAGICAL! The host had a salad and a bottle of wine waiting for us! She was extremely gracious and accommodating as she let us leave at our convenience upon checkout because there were no guests coming in that day. I would visit there again and again.

Rena took great care of us, advised on local 'to do's' (i.e. private olive oil tasting, where to get the best fresh fish, etc.) and supported on all pending questions! Definitely not the last time we visited Rena's house in Monemvasia, we loved it!

United StatesCould not have asked for better accommodation - everything exceeded our expectations tenfold! The house is conveniently located by the main gate which made it easy with carrying the luggage and also being close to the main strip of the town. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and has an amazing terrace with a great view of the sea. Everything was super clean, comfortable and well-appointed. We were very thoughtfully provided with beach towels, fruit, drinks and water. I cannot say enough good things about our host, Rena. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after. Would be an excellent option for both a couple on a romantic trip or a larger group as there are plenty of sleeping options.
