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 KingdomWe had room 35 which had a rather low ceiling beam. The stairs from the living area to the bedroom are quite steep.
The view and the location. Situated by the middle harbour it was in the centre of Yialos surrounded by all possible tourist amenities. The view from our room was wonderful, sea, boats, beautiful houses and stunning scenery. Yannis the owner was exceptionally helpful, he let us check in early and drove us to the port to catch our ferry back to Rhodes.

United KingdomThere is a tight spiral staircase up to the room, but owner assisted with luggage. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great.
Captain’s Suites are in a perfect location with spectacular views over Symi port. We were in the top floor room with a huge terrace and sun loungers and outdoor seating. Really comfortable bed. We did view an economy room but decided to upgrade as the top floor room was available and so much nicer. Symi was wonderful, we loved it!

United StatesNothing really was negative for me. It has some narrow and steep stairs that could be tricky for someone with mobility issues. Likewise if you are tall you need to be cautious about banging your head on some low areas. Just the nature of an older building.
Super location right on the seafront, in a renovated old building. I was given a room with access to a private balcony/terrace with a fantastic view of the harbor. Good value from money considering location. Larger apartment than I was expecting, with an upstairs bedroom. Facilities such as hot water and WiFi all in good working order. There was a kitchen but I didn’t use it and didn’t even look at the cooking utensils so can’t comment on them.

IrelandI liked everything, but my bedroom would not be suitable for tall people.
Yiannis, the owner met me at the boat, which I wasn't expecting, but delighted to get the drive back to the apartment. I had asked for a quiet room, he said that the economy room that I booked was not so quiet and offered me a choice of 2 upgrades. I stayed in the original as I liked it, right in front of the port, it was perfect. This is a great place to stay for solo travellers.

United StatesBe aware lots of steps, worth the climb for room views & accomodations. Just note must be able to maneuver steps with luggage.
Captain Yanni, his wife, entire family & staff were wonderful! We took advantage of his private charter boat for our group of 6 for an island tour of the day. Private beaches, Monastery visit by boat, swimming, lunch at the most secluded beach restaurant all added up to one of the most magical days ever! Location is perfect to soak in Symi’s views! We rented 3 rooms, each had own charm & character. Rooms are clean and nice breezes flow through, or AC is available. Cafe downstairs was a perfect meeting point for our family.
