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 StatesNothing. We like everything.
It was cozy place to be like home away from home. All were so considerate and informative. And everyone in our group were talking about Georgia how she had treated all the guest. She definitely was the asset for the hotel. We highly recommend this place.

United StatesWe were greeted by a friendly staff member who was extremely helpful. Parking is right along the road and we easily found a spot. We dropped off our luggage and left immediately for the monasteries to capture them in the beautiful evening light. The room is tight, yet cute. the bed was comfy. The breakfast buffet was nice.

The staff from reception to the servers in the restaurant are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast spread was good. The outdoor garden with table was charming especially when the hotel is lit at night. Hot tub was fantastic for relaxing after a day at the monasteries.

United StatesWe were very happy with our stay. Room a little smaller than expected, but very comfortable!
The staff is exceptionally nice and helpful. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens and the room was sparkling clean. The balcony had a nice view to the East of the Meteora rocks, and a table and chairs to sit at and enjoy the view. We had dinner at the restaurant on site, which was delicious! Our servers Georgia and Kathy were wonderful. Breakfast buffet was large with lots of options, and best cappachinos in Greece! Parking is on street, but we never had a problem finding a spot close by. It is located less than a 10 minute drive to most of the monasteries, and central enough that you can walk around town to Tavernas and shops. We preferred the quieter town of Kastraki to Kalabaka, less crowds. All in all a fantastic stay!

SingaporeFor non-smokers, you can still smell some smoke when others smokes. we did not try to locate the smoker, but we definitely could smell it in the room despite the closed door and windows. Not any one's fault, just how the place is. not a big deterrent to choosing to stay here again if we ever return to Kastraki.
Easy to find, nice rural village location yet not isolated or remote. Has got just the right mix of proximity to the village square, tavernas, mini marts and hiking trails. Free and adequate parking. The people maketh the place and the staffs always makes us comfortable and feels welcomed. The showers have proper sliding doors that separate it effectively so that the toilet does not get wet from the water after a shower.

United KingdomThe view from the room was not great as it was at the back of the hotel. Was on the cat highway though.
The room had a balcony, a hot tub, a great shower and the most comfortable bed. The staff were all very friendly. The food (both dinner and breakfast) was amazing. The hotel is at the start of the road that goes up to the monasteries as well as at the start of the walking trails.

United KingdomTsikeli was fantastic on every level. The location is absolutely ideal for visiting Meteora, being at the very start of the road that leads from Kastraki to the monasteries. The room was nicely decorated, large and the bed was comfortable. The selection at breakfast was good quality and offered all of the staples, including hot and continental options. Evening meals were delicious and portions generous; we had booked Half Board and enjoyed 3 courses each evening. The wine list was short but varied and at reasonable prices. The best thing of all was the service. The staff at Tsikeli are fantastic - friendly, attentive, helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!
