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 KingdomAlthough there was nothing wrong with the hotel at all in terms of facilities, it didn't have much atmosphere. The staff were polite and helpful if needed but kept very much in the background. Not the usual overflowing Greek hospitality I'm used to. It's up a steep slope and the route back at night is quite dark and the surroundings a little desolate. It didn't feel unsafe, but I was glad not to be on my own. It wouldn't suit people with walking difficulties. The area is still being developed and will probably change over time.
Smart, modern hotel with everything in very good condition, five minutes walk to restaurants, bars etc. It's on the other side of the main road in Chora, the only village on the island, so not too noisy at night, although we could still hear partying going on in the distance until the early hours. The price was reasonable. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it as it was September and it was very windy.

AustraliaThe walk to/from town is about a 10-15 minute walk down/up a steep hill, you also have to walk along the busy road and cars fly past because there’s no actual footpath, at night time I felt a little unsafe walking back there because it gets quite dark in some parts so I’d recommend getting a taxi
I loved the view we had from our hotel, staff were lovely and came and cleaned our room everyday, had a beautiful outside area and ocean views

United KingdomIt can get quite windy by the hotel at times as the hotel is at a high point of the island, but it wouldn't put me off going again as we really enjoyed our stay.
We have just arrived home from our stay at Avanti. The hotel was lovely, and great value for the high standard of the hotel. The owners were so friendly and helpful, telling us all the details of the area on our drive from the port to the hotel. They let me use the laundry room to iron my clothes and If you contact them before arriving they will pick you up from the port and take you back when you leave. The pool area was lovely and really nice to chill for the day. Not to mention the view from the hotel which was gorgeous. It was really close to the main square and restaurants/bars and you could catch a short bus ride to Mylopotas Beach and the port anytime until midnight. The islands bus service was great!

AustraliaI loved the property - not a dislike but a heads up that the hotel is on a hill for those who are wishing to walk instead of catching a cab or renting a car/ATV.
Beautiful property and super comfortable. The team were so lovely and very helpful for any questions we had. Also had a beautiful view of the town and the breakfast that was included in our stay was delicious.
