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.).

FranceWe absolutely loved our stay at Sofia's 💜 the view from the house was breathtaking, and the bed super comfortable. We really liked staying outside of the village's centre, as the house was very calm, and we could enjoy the beautiful garden. Sofia was very friendly, available, and always willing to answer our questions. We will be back!! 🌷

United StatesThis was my favorite stay of our 2 week trip to Greece. Sofia was a lovely hostess. The location was beautiful. I enjoyed the walk out from town and loved the seclusion. We were in the upstairs unit with separate living area and small kitchen and it was very attractive and I loved the terrace overlooking the bay. I could have stayed forever!

We came to Hydra to get married. We wanted to stay somewhere on a magical island which also offered privacy. Sofia is a terrific host, the facilities both inside and outside the house are terrific. Also within very easy reach of the port if you want something livelier.

Sofia was a great host as was the accomodation. Even though it’s a 20 min walk from Hydra, this is what made our stay so unique. The walk along the cliff road was picturesque and easy. We did use the mules for our luggage which Sofia arranged for us. Being out of town it was quiet and the views were amazing. We travelled for 2 months throughout Europe and this stay was in our top 2!

PolandBe prepared that it really is far from the port - for me it was 25 minutes from the port and about 20 to the port ( the road is almost flat, yet with slight elevation towards Tramontana). If I was missing something it is maybe a blanket for colder nights ( the weather wasnt great when I was there) ,but probably if I'd asked, Sofia would provide.
This is a great place, that has everything for your stay - literally everything. From fully equipped kitchenette with all necessary essentials like oil, sugar, coffee, tea, even complimentary water in the fridge, to beach towels. Two lovely terraces ( one covered an one with sun all day long and sunbeds), a balcony, you can hear the sea from your window. I also really liked the fact that there was a shower with closed doors, unlike in most places in Greece, so you did not flood the bathroom. The place is very quiet and safe. Sofia the host is really nice and helpful.

Amazing view. Can’t believe we had 2 private balconies and a living room & kitchen to ourselves. Sofia was a great host. It was nice being a bit away from the main town, felt like we could really retreat by ourselves if we felt like it.

This was like heaven on Earth. The property was outstanding and the hostess Sofia was amazing. We really did not want to leave. THere was a fully stocked kitchen with coffee and milk for us. The views from thee bedroom , the deck and terraces were amazing. Yes it was a bit of a hike into Hydra but the view and tranquility was exceptional. THe bed was really comfortable and there really was nothing more we could wish for Yes the Wifi was not perfect but who cares - you are on holidays no big deal

Canadawifi was difficult, but it was ok to disconnect for awhile!
A beautiful, spacious place on the road between Mandraki beach and Hydra port. The house has a lot of history, having been a famous yacht club run by the the father of the current host, Sofia, and frequented by many prominent people in years gone by. There is a book of photographs from that era which is quite interesting to look at. The views were absolutely beautiful. The host lives on site and there was another occupied unit, yet it felt private and quiet. Sofia was friendly and welcoming and even left us tea and oranges on our first day!

FranceNot a big deal but it is 20min from the port, dragging suitcase(the road is quite fine) from the port and under big sun will make you sweat a lot.
Place have 3 houses (one of the owner), and it is well designed so everyone has its space and it is very quiet and calme. The view is wonderfull. It has its own access to the sea with a ladder directly to the sea,which is very nice in this island. When it is hot you have transat in the shade if you want on one of the two terrasse. And in the bedroom and living room there is air conditioning if you need. To sum up it is exceptional place, you won't be disappointed
