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.).

The location of the hotel was in a prime position situated in the centre of the 'old' city. Breakfast was more than sufficient and well presented. Room was very comfortable.

United KingdomWhat should have been a perfect location in heart of Old Town marred by live music venue nearby, with the rock band commencing at 11p.m nearly every night. Closing windows to deaden noise necessitates noisy air con usage.
Sofia is a charming, helpful and responsive host. Beautiful flowers around the property. Everywhere is immaculately clean. Sofia’s home made breakfast extras are excellent.

United KingdomWe left the window open one night to let the fresh air in but one of the bars was quite noisy. Thankfully you couldn’t hear a thing when the window was closed so we opted for the air con the following evening!
The location of Sofia Pension in the old town was perfect. Located in the old town, our room was close to everything but set back from the bars and clubs etc. We found some excellent cafes for breakfast just around the corner (Porca Vacca was our favourite for fruit and yoghurt). The room was very reasonably priced a good size and had a very comfy bed. The host was really friendly and was very helpful.

United KingdomThe only thing that could have been improved was the Wifi signal strength, but we managed ok.
Very convenient location within the old city walled area of Rhodes. A 10 minute walk from the bus station or taxi drop-off. Sofia, the owner, was very friendly, hospitable and helpful. She is not there all the time - but she is very responsive. Very nice to sit with her, have a cup of coffee and hear about some of her life. The main tourist sites are within easy walking distance, along with many bars and restaurants. The back streets of the old medieval city also have small artisanal shops and surprising little squares, churches etc.

The room was immaculately clean and serviced daily. The breakfasts made by the lovely Sofia were homemade and excellent. Loved the verandah space to sit out and relax. Also the rooftop terrace was beautiful. Lots of pot plants and a great location; very quiet and yet right in the centre of the old city.

United KingdomI hadn't realised that breakfast wasn't included so we left without paying. Sofia sent me a message explaining I hadn't paid so I sent her the payment. This should have been made clearer in the hotel description and also when we were there.
Lovely quiet location away from the bustle of the old town but just a few minutes walk away from all the museums etc. Very helpful staff who helped us book an electric taxi to the port which is not far but big cases are hard work on cobbles! On the way there, we got a taxi from the airport who cannot take you into the old town so he drops you off and then you get an electric golf style buggy at no charge. The pensione is quite old fashioned but very clean and comfortable. Breakfast (not included) is on the lovely roof terrace.

United KingdomFulla was waiting for me even though I was a bit late and got lost. İt's easy to find, but my mobile wasn't working. The AC works wonderfully, the room was large, and the bed comfortable. Mama Sofia was there on my last morning and arranged a well-priced taxi for my trip to the airport. Would thoroughly recommend and will stay there again.

RomaniaThe room was kind of little. There was also a second sofa/bed that we did not asked for/needed and it occupied a lot of the room space for no reason. We could see the furniture was kind of old and worn out, and I could say the room kind of needed a deep cleaning because some of the furniture was dusty and stains in the bathroom. The fridge and the air conditioning in the room were very noisy and could bother us sleeping.
The pension was right in the middle of the old town, with great access to all the tavernas, and close to the port, bus stations and all the attractions of Rhodes town. The ladies administrating the place were attentive to all our needs, changed our towels and bedsheets every 2 days, and always asked if we need something else. In the last day they even let us stay in the room until later that day because our flight was an evening one and the room was spare that day, so we could keep our luggages in the room and have a rest before the flight. The breakfast was fulfilling, although the same everyday.

United KingdomBathroom was adequate, so was the room. But room maybe a bit cramped. (However, the whole Pension had a great old fashioned atmosphere, with a great open roof area looking over the town).
Old town Rhodes is a beautiful place, and Sofia Pension is a great location in the middle of the city. The staff looked after us and arranged mini electric taxi to take us and luggage out of the narrow streets of the town.

United StatesThe beds are simple and the shower is quite small which is more a European thing than specific to Sofia’s, but is worth noting if you are larger or have mobility issues.
We are so happy we stayed here. The family is so warm and welcoming and the breakfast was excellent for the price. The rooftop view and seating area was perfect in the morning and evening and the location is close to everything in the Old City. When we had a problem with the air conditioner they came over at 10pm to help us and called to wish us a good rest of our trip when we had to leave in the early morning to catch the ferry. Hospitality, cleanliness and location 10/10.
