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 KingdomThe location is perfect: close to Chora but yet removed from any bustle etc associated with a popular village. We appreciated the friendly, efficient and helpful ethos in Ampelos - hands on but never intrusive! The husband and wife managers, Theo and Areti, communicated well and provided an excellent introduction to Folegandros (restaurants, excursions etc). Furthermore, the set up - comprising a small pool surrounded by individual rooms on two floors is tasteful and conducive to providing a feeling of friendliness and a sense of community. Theo is an able and resourceful guy with excellent English skills. We particularly appreciated his assistance in tracking down a replacement camera battery charger ( we had left the original at home!) and having it sent to 'meet up' with us on Naxos. The courtesy pick up and drop off at the port was greatly appreciated.

United StatesCrowing roosters in the morning but ear plugs took care of that issue.
Theo was an outstanding host. Pool and garden areas were well maintained for relaxing. Room was large and a great view of Chora and the church on the hill. Short walk to town with restaurants and shops. Breakfast offered for small fee. Port transfers were included which was a plus.

United KingdomGreat location with only a short walk to Chora. Theo the host was super helpful and picked us up from the port. Chora is a great base for the island with a stunning old town, great walks and buses to varying parts of the island. Accommodation is a series of small character "houses" around a great pool. Totally recommend this as a great place to stay when exploring this beautiful island. A refreshing alternative to the hustle and expense of Santorini.

AustraliaLeaving.
It was sooo clean, comfortable. Short walk to the Chora with shops & tavernas. The property had a beautiful pool with view to Chora & the church. The rooms surrounded the pool & felt like a small village. It gave everyone an opportunity to get to know people staying there from different parts of the world. Theo & Areti were wonderful hosts & nothing was too much trouble. Would stay again in a heartbeat. 😊

United KingdomThe only little thing is the shower area like a wet room so can be a bit slippery so had to be careful. But that’s it we loved it at Ampelos
Great stay at Ampelos with Theo and his wife. The place is much more beautiful than pictures show and it was great value for money. The view from the hotel is exceptional. Theo loves the solans and that shows in his passion for telling us about it. He was always on hand to help us with any questions we had or give us a lift if he could. Would love to go back.

Staying at Ampelos was the highlight of our whole trip in Greece. Theo and his wife were just beautiful people. Truly kind and helpful and it made our trip so special. The accommodation is incredible, beautiful pool overlooking stunning Folegandros and the view of the church. Rooms were clean, spacious and lovely. Theo recommended restaurants for us to try local cuisine, as well as great beach spots. Would recommend this place to everyone!! One of the best experiences ever. We felt so at home and relaxed everyday. Folegandros was by far our favourite island that we visited! Thanks :)

New ZealandGreat location, close to town but with a view of the church. Gorgeous outdoor area that felt very homely. Very handy to all amenities. The thing that made it was Theo and his wife, they were fantastic hosts, and gave us very good tips about the food in town and what we should see on the island. Folegandros food has been the best we have had yet. loved every minute.

Our stay at Ampelos was exceptional. The spotless rooms, the gardens, the view of Chora and overall appearance of the hotel are excellent. The port transfer was very much appreciated. The breakfast was superb with the freshest bread, yogurt and eggs. What makes Ampelos exceptional are the hosts Areti and Theo, they make you feel very welcome and genuinely care you are have a good time at the hotel and on the beautiful island of Folegandros. It feels like you are visiting friends.
