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.).

RomaniaEverything was perfect. Maybe, the speed of the internet might be improved - there were moments when the internet speed was pretty low.
The location is near the center of Platanias (25 minutes walk) and very near to the beach and the main street - however, it is a silent place. The host was very helpful - he offered us whatever information we needed and we asked him, he made reservations for us (taxi from and to the airport or organized trips on the island). The host also offered us some local wine and raki ”on the house”. The room was very clean and it was cleaned daily (except Sunday). There is a fabulous garden we could admire from the terrace.

RomaniaThe sheets and cover bed are white, and it's great, but difficult to maintain perfect white, so had 1-2 minor stains. There is a hotel with pool near by that has sometimes live music, and I could hear it from the room. However, by 11-12 they would close down the music and we had no troubles sleeping. Also, if other guests are in the garden or on their teraces, you can hear them, but I guess this is everywhere. Overall a quite place, far from the buzzling of the crowded street or clubs.
Great garden and colors of the room. Confortable bed and pillows. Has own private parking and it's great. Very clean facilities. We would go back.

The best place to stay in Platanias! The owner was very helpful and willing to answer to our every question - we could contact him any time via WhatsApp. The place is cleaned every day and the localization is perfect - close to the city but still calm and quiet.

EstoniaSmoking neighbours on balconies. Common to Greece the bathrooms tend to have humidity problems, sewage smell and you can't throw toilet paper in the toilet.
Perfect location in Platanias, parking in the yard, comfortable bed. Room was not on the sunny side so it kept cool and made sitting on the balcony comfortable. Great communication with the host.

NetherlandsLocation was perfect, near al the restaurants en the beach. The host (konstantinos) was very nice. We were travelling with a baby and had a nice bed for the baby and we could take an umbrella for the beach. Konstantinos had some good recommandations and asked multiple times if we and the baby were oke and if we needed anything. One night the power went out in our studio and he supplied us with hot water for the baby, a candle and a gasburner for heating stuff up, the next morning the electricity was fixed. We will surely come back here.

Extremely helpful and friendly host. Konstantinos managed our stay with a lot of care and tender. Even if we arrived early in the morning, much before the usual check in the room was waiting for us. The studios are facing the sea and a lovely garden. It is a quiet, remote place far from the crowded night-life, although close enough to restaurants and the beach. Everything was just perfect, we thank Kontantinos for his gentle help and care!
