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.).

Popi was amazing - friendly, kind, generous, breakfast was thoughtfully made. The studio was brilliant, surprisingly lots of space for the small floorplan. Comfy bed. Lots of equipment for cooking. Great location central to Astypalea and the castle.

BelgiumFantastic location on the south west side of the castle. The view from the balcony was simply wonderful. It was a traditional Cycladic house with a double stone bed in the bedroom. Upstairs there was a fully equipped kitchen, with all the necessities, while it also functioned as a lounge-hall. The bedroom was huge at the bottom of the house and it was cool at night without having to use the air conditioner. The breakfast was very good prepared by our hostess. Popi a warm and smiling person, which in itself is a huge plus on the holiday, as she wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Being there is must...and we must go again!

AustraliaLiterally nothing, I had a very pleasant stay.
My stay here was amazing! Popi was such an amazing host, so friendly and generous. Popi picked us up from the port and drove us up to the rooms which she really didn't have to do. Each morning a fresh breakfast was delivered to the door. I can't say enough about how welcoming and helpful Popi was. The rooms were very spacious and clean, the photos don't do it justice. Location was great, short walk to the square which has lots of cute restaurants and the bus stop. You can also walk to the Venetian castle up the hill to watch the sunset. I loved my stay here and would highly recommend Popi Studios!

United KingdomThere is absolutely nothing to dislike . The property is exceptional on all accounts.
This property is exceptional. The location, styling , comfort, facilities , price but most importantly the hosting was second to none. We cannot thank Popi enough for her amazing hosting skills. She went above and beyond. She picked us up and returned us to the port , provided 5 star breakfast each day with enough for lunch too and gave us very clear advice about on how to navigate the island with excellent recommendations for beaches and food etc . We cannot wait to return and feel we have found a really special place in Popi studios. Long may they continue. We will definitely be back .

NetherlandsWhat's not to like in a place like this?
This place is, quite simply, amazing! Popi is an incredible host and simply couldn't do too much for me. I was expecting a studio but had a little house all to myself, with everything I could possibly need, including toothpaste and things I didn't even realise I would need, like two different types of cheese grater! And the breakfasts? What can I say? Delicious and every day different and delivered to my door. Words cannot express my gratitude for a wonderful stay, Popi!

United KingdomEverything was excellent.
Popi is a wonderful, warm and welcoming host. She met me at the port and took me to the house & even baked a welcome cake for my arrival. I stayed in the cute little house near the castle. The rooms were super clean, powerful shower and the breakfast was amazing with more home baked goods from Popi - chocolate croissants and pies. Enough food for a picnic lunch. Popi's is a beautiful place to stay - the best in Astypalai.

United StatesIf you have any mobility issues the Astypalea Chora is steep and there are many steps. It’s also windy on the top!
Absurd hospitality!! I cannot explain how amazing this experience was!! we were provided with a lift to the apartment (amazing) breakfast everyday which is basically also your packed lunch for the day (amazing) and humour and warmth from our host. (amazing) The apartment was a small piece of history ! (amazing) we loved it!!! the new Astybus service on the island makes getting around really simple without a car. we adored walking to the castle and exploring it everyday.
