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.).

United StatesStairs. My fault I didn’t check but the rooms are located on two upper floors accessed by vet steep stairs. Fine if you’re young but an issue if you’re older with reduced mobility. It was ok in the end. Staff very willing to carry bags but just be aware.

IsraelCenter of town (windows I think were partially sound proof) and old building (room door, walls) so not for lite sleepers w/o ear plugs. Maybe an idea for owner to hand these out.
Best location, pretty rooms (albeit basic), very friendly and helpful front desk guys, b-fast in a place across the square which was nice. Sitting with a coffee (shared kitchenet with coffee machine) on the balcony in the AM when the city wakes up ... wonderful.

SwedenThis is something I have experienced at other hotels in Athens. There are slippers but no bathrobes. These should be available, especially in the more expensive rooms. Since all rooms are equipped with TV, there should also be international channels available, not only Greek ones.
This hotel is very well located, and the staff is helpful. On my second stay I went for a larger room with a balcony, which had a great view of the Acropolis. That was worth the extra money.

AustraliaAccess to the property from taxi is a bit problematic if you have heavy bags.. Also the lack of a lift makes it difficult for old legs to reach upper floors.

United KingdomIt was very noisy and I had to purchase earplugs on the second day just to sleep. The noise was all internal too. We had the room next to the kitchen and it was often a lot of noise and disruption. It almost made it feel more like a hostel than hotel at times. The building is quite echoey and we had a lot of doors slamming and other guests sounding very loud in the late night and early morning. The facilities also needed some fixing and improvements, especially given the price. Our shower was broken but we made do.
The staff were easily the best part of the experience. Kostas was incredibly helpful and an all round great guy who was always friendly and approachable whenever we interacted. He provided us with great food and experience recommendations, as well as helping us out with the area and where to visit. The location was the best you're going to get. In the heart of Plaka, close to all the major landmarks and with plenty of great restaurants and Tavernas nearby. The bed was also probably the most comfortable beds we have slept in. The room was always perfectly cleaned and presented, which is a credit to the staff who do housekeeping.

We had a fantastic stay and will come back. From now on, Palladian Home will be our hotel in Plaka. Our total experience with the staff is good. But, we have to mention your exceptional receptionist, Pantelis, especially. He was outstanding and lived up to the meaning of his name: the giver.
