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.).

Where do I start... What a beautiful place.. Michelis and his lovely wife Julia made us feel right at home. The studio was clean and very comfortable, and our sheets and towels were clean and changed according to our needs. The view was spectacular, and we enjoyed walking to Hydra Port every day. Christina was absolutely fantastic!. She answered all of my questions pretty much straight away and offered useful advice. Thank you!!!!

LithuaniaI had a wonderful time in Vlichos island, staying in a big house with a pink room and a big yard. The place was perfect for me, as I was looking for some peace and quiet. There were no cars or motorcycles, just the sounds of nature. I loved waking up to the rooster’s crow and seeing the hens, chickens and cats roaming around. The room had very good vibes and everything I needed was there. It was very well thought out and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the beauty of Vlichos island.

MalaysiaWe loved everything and are already planning a third visit next summer.
Loved the calm location and amazing views. This place is just ideal. Friendly and helpful hosts, it was a pleasure talking with them. Easy walk to two great low-key organized beaches and a nice place for a quick swim just below the property. Nice meals and coffee/snacks in Vlichos and scenic easy walks to the surrounding areas.

Where to begin. We already had extremely high expectations for this place after seeing the photos and ratings, but our expectations were actually exceeded! Even from inside, one gets amazing sea views but once you go on the terrace, wow, 180degress of unobstructed sea views. Truly breathtaking. The apartment has everything you could possibly need and one can tell that the hosts have put so much care, love and attention to the place as it is decorated so nicely and was very clean. Upon our arrival we also found a vase with fresh flowers, a basket full of local yummies, a bottle of wine and water. Within a 5 minute walk from the place one can find 2 beaches and 3 tavernas. Hydra port can be reached by water taxi (7 minutes) or on foot (35 minutes) along the coastline. We recommend trying this at least once. One can't not mention the exceptional service and hospitality provided by the hosts and by their daughter Christina. From the moment we booked till the moment we checked out Christina was always reachable by message and answered promptly to any queries or requests we had. Her father Michalis who lives downstairs with his wife was so charming and friendly. The hosts, the apartment and the surroundings guarantee that we won't stay anywhere else during our next visit to Hydra.

BelgiumWe loved absolutely everything.
Really incredible place to stay on Hydra. The studio is airy with wonderful views on all sides. It is nicely designed, extremely clean and has everything you would need for simple meals. The hosts even provide two beach towels and some bottled water. The location is in between two great beaches organized with lounge chairs and you can also swim nicely just two minute walk below the house. The view from the terrace is a dream. The hosts are incredibly kind and warm but also discreet, it is up to you if you'd like to chat and ask any questions but you have your own space if you prefer that. There are several places to eat within a few minutes walk (we love Enalion, ate there almost every evening). This place is for you if you want magical calm. It is maybe a 30 minute walk to the nearest mini market and 45 to a bigger grocery store. That is something to just keep in mind and plan for. We stocked up once in town (and took a boat taxi back with everything). We loved the walk into town and the walk the other direction toward Plaka. It is easy to take the public boat service to/from Vlichos or Plaka and of course always easy to call a boat taxi.

FranceNothing. We would definitely return.
We absolutely loved staying here. The most airy and bright apartment with windows on all sides with a stunning terrace and view to the sea. No need for air conditioning as you get this great cross breeze and there are screens on the windows. Also a ceiling fan. A huge plus for those of us who worry about climate change! It is only a 15 minute walk to the Four Seasons hotel where you can rent sun beds and swim in the sea and have a fabulous lunch. Also only a seven minute walk to the local taverna and also to swimming spots. The owners of this apartment are just fabulous. We did not meet Christina, sadly, but her parents. They brought us a dish of fava, the most delicious meal we had! They were so friendly and warm. We definitely want to come back here. Hydra is a beautiful island with the added bonus of having no cars. this apartment would be a great choice for the cooler months as well as you could do a lot more walking.

RomaniaThere is absolutly nothing bad to say about the apart, location, facilities and hosts. Everything was amazing. Our only problem were the mosquitos that were quite a lot in June, even though the apart was equiped for them, it was hard to stay on the terrase between 19.00-22.00. But this was a problem on the entire island. Probably there are less in other months, closer to autumn.
The terrase has the best view over the sea, I felt like in luxury hotel taking breakfast with the breathtaking view. The apart is very spatious and has everything you could possible need. So much detail put into the decor, so clean and well organized. Fresh flowers on our towels at arrival and in vases, a breakfast baschet with quality jam, butter, biscuits, honey, coffee, wine and water. I loved Vlichos the most from all of Hydra, quiet, not as crowded as the port, one of the best beaches on the island- Vlichos beach at 3 min from the apart and 3 great tarvernas at no 3-5 mins-Enalion, Marina and Four Season. We recommend Enalion. We ate there every day! The location is a 30 mins walk from Hydra port by the fabulos coast line and 5 mins by water taxi or boat. We took the boat only on the first and last day, as the walk to the port was one of the highlights and also really good exercise:D. Last, but not leat, Michalis who lives downstaira with his wife is such a charming person as well as Christina who interacted witb us over messages. I would not choose any other location when i come back to Hydra!!!

GreeceTHE DISTANCE FROM THE DROP OFF PLACE AT VLICHOS BEACH WITH THE SEA TAXI, UNTIL THE APPARTMENT IS AN ORDEAL! YOU HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE SAND CURRING THE SUITCASES! SOMEONE SHOULD BE THERE TO HELP WITH THE LUGGAGE!
THERE IS NO BREAKFAST AVAILABLE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN PROVISIONS. THE VIEW OF THE LOCATION IS MAGNIFICENT! WE LIKED THE SPACIOUS APPARTMENT AND THE FRIENDLINESS OF THE OWNERS MICHALIS AND IOYLIA. ALSO THE NEAR BY PRIVATE LITTLE BEACH IS HANDY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE CROWDY PLACES WITH SUN BEDS.
