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.).

BulgariaNo such thing
The hotel is at a fantastic location to explore the monasteries - it is on the very road that leads to all of them. It is full of charming restaurants around and convenient stores too. The hotel has its own parking and a magnificent view of the rocks. The room was cosy, clean, stylish and charming. The bathroom was great, the water stream was excellent. There were so many amenities, like that was a five star hotel. There was also a rather quiet fridge available, plenty of wardrobe and storage room. Frankly I did not wish to leave the hotel, I could have an entire vacation there. At an additional price of just 7,5 Euro I had breakfast that was so big, it could be a meal till dinner time. The hosts were sweet and helpful. I would love to go back there again.

United KingdomThe hotel is not the most beautiful architecturally, we love old buildings, but it was made up for in spades by our wonderful hosts and the situation with large balconies.
Spiros and Julia could not have been more helpful caring and lovely. We had a bit of a strange stay. First we broke down coming into Kastraki, Julia came straight away to help out. There were big storms during the first few days. But we had a staggeringly beautiful view from our balcony so little hardship. There are lovely walks in the hills too if you don’t want to see all the monasteries. The area where we were travelling to afterwards was badly flooded, so Spiros and Julia accommodated us and we stayed another night. To sort out our plans. 5 nights altogether. Julia bought me figs and a delicious pumkin tart hot from the oven.

As a budget hotel I cannot fault it, it’s clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff were super friendly. The view of the village and rocks from our balcony was a bonus. It’s proximity to the village made it easy to find food and to enjoy a short walk to get there.

GermanyThe bus from Trikala doesn’t go all the way to Kastraki. There is a bus which goes a bit unregurlarly, so I ended up walking from Kalambaka both times, which was fine but obviously a bit exhausting.
Really close to the Monastries, with a bit of motivation you can walk up to almost all of them as well as to the sunset viewpoint if you don’t have a car. There is also a bus you can take. The two hosts were super nice and helpful. My room (single without a view) was basic but worth the money. All in all happy with my choice!

The owners were very nice and helpful, always in for a short talk. As long as you do not expect golden furniture, but just a nice bed, a good shower and a perfect place to start your hikes from for a reasonable price then I can surely recommend Spartacus House!
