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.).

TurkeyThe bed was light and moving so much, maybe it can be improved but overall everything was perfect.
A perfect gateway to peace, I really enjoyed the immaculate scenery and the quietness of the area. Close to the sandy beautiful beaches of south Corfu (15-20 mins by car to Issos and Marathias) and the area itself had lots to offer regarding eating out.

IrelandOur only tiny criticism was that a double bed would have been preferred to 2 single beds but who cares!
Pauline was the most amazing, kind, helpful and lovely host! We enjoyed just having the chats with her. The accomodation is in a lovely location. Not bad as we don't drive, easy to walk to Messonghi and navigate island with public transport from there. Our views were beautiful, pool and hot tub were spotless. The hike up the hill to Chlomos was my highlight of our trip. We recommend. Lovely authentic restaurant 75 Steps was a 2 minute walk from the apartment too.

GermanyWe very much enjoyed our stay here! The first thing we noticed was the amazing view on the ocean and the friendliness of the host. Our rooms were super comfy, the bed spacious and comfortable and with all windows and doors having mosquito nets, we didn't have any issues with mosquitos either. We can absolutely recommend coming here ^^ It's easier to get to it with a vehicle as it's a bit of a climb.

United KingdomSome people might struggle with the rough track or steep road you need to walk down to get into the village, but it wasn’t a problem to us or you would need a car. Wish we had a double bed instead of two singles pushed together.
The views from the pool and apartments were beautiful. The apartments were very quiet and the pool area was never busy. The kitchen was well equipped so you could cook or even bbq if you wanted. Good facilities available if you had a late flight home, shower and covered outside kitchen area to make drinks etc.

GermanyI would love to give 10 points (of course 8 is still good), but unfortunately the apartment was different to what we expected from the pictures. The furniture looks cheap and a bit old/used. Also the Jacuzzi is very used and there are some broken parts. You need to hold the shower head in your hand when you take a shower. Compared to another apartment on the Island the price was too high for this furnishing. In the kitchen you can find enought dishes etc. and tea, nestea coffee, sugar and milk, but no salt, pepper, oil etc. or coffee powder for the coffee machine. The apartment is badly soundproofed and you can hear everything from your neighbors. The apartment has the potential for a 10 but defenetely needs an update.
Pauline took great care of us and was always easy to contact and very helpful. The view from the apartment was just stunning and the area ist very beautiful and calm (only the rooster is a bit too enthusiastic in the morning). The BBQ area is nice and there is everything you need (charcoal, grill lighter etc.). We were able to get some fresh fish in Korfu town, but in the near AB Market you can get some as well. And if you are lucky the fisherman comes to the apartment on request. There are several nice restaurants nearby. I would recomment to hire a car. After 2 days we received new towels and toilett paper. Everything was clean.

PolandThe sea view is stunning and the apartments are very spacious. The hostess was very welcoming. The building is in the middle of a forest, which means a lot of wasps and hornets. Unfortunately, we had a nest above our terrace so we couldn't eat breakfast outside. This problem got fixed but that took nearly our whole stay. Also there were several technical issues like the jacuzzi not working properly. Also we had to hold the shower in one hand because the hinges were worn. Certain problems did get fixed in the end, but overall it was not enough for this price. Nobody offered any compensation, not even a bottle of wine or anything. We saw the managers doing their best and we understand it sometimes takes longer to get things fixed on an island, but it is still our loss in the end because we couldn't get out what was potentially in there. The swimming pool is way too warm and only makes sense for the evening hours, otherwise it is not refreshing at all. Spileo House is potentially a 10 out of 10, but in our case an 8.

United KingdomNothing at all. It met all of our expectations.
Apartment was spacious, quiet, amazing views and a great pool. The host Pauline was absolutely perfect. She personally welcomed us and showed us around the property. She went above and beyond every day to make our stay truly exceptional. She’s an asset to the property and is incredible in everything she does. Would thoroughly recommend the Restaurant “75 steps” just up the hill that Pauline told us about. There’s a lift so don’t worry about the steps. Food, service and house wine (home made) we’re all incredible.

GermanyBe aware that there is a rooster on the property next to the accommodation, so do not forget your ear plugs if you want to sleep with open windows! The pool was a bit too warm for my liking, but this is just my personal opinion and is a tricky thing during summer.
The apartment was spacious, with two rooms, and had everything you need. The kitchen is big so that is no problem to cook for yourself if you want. Each of the two rooms has an air conditioning and a balcony. Even pool towels are provided. If you want you could get changed your linen every two day (but please think of the environment). If you have any questions, problems or just want to have a chat, Pauline and Jayne are there and will help you with everything. They are so warm hearted and very nice people! The parking is directly in front of the house - only the turning could be tricky if all parking spots are taken. Just rent a smaller car - you do not need an SUV for driving the island :-)
