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.).

AustraliaLeaving!
Bright, airy and clean room. Only a short walk to the restaurants and shops in Pollonia, and beautiful places to swim much closer. Eleni was a delightful and generous host. Giving us some delicious sweet treats during our stay, and helping me out with some much needed laundry. A few steps away was a lovely restaurant called Rakemelo, open for breakfast and dinner which was a bonus. Highly recommend!

AustraliaThere was nothing we did not like.
Eleni was a wonderful host. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was kept spotlessly clean and she continuously topped up the generous provisions in the room. Milos was beautiful and everything we had hoped for, a quiet Greek island with lovely food and lovely people. We highly recommend staying at the very reasonably priced Captain Stavros.

SpainThe shower was the width of the bathroom but quite narrow, which means you end up stuck to the shower curtain or hitting your hip on the tap. We got used to it but it could be a problem for a bigger person.
This was a great, quiet place to stay. The staff were really lovely and very helpful. Arranging port transfers for us, giving us a map of the island and suggestions of where to visit, and even printing out a bus timetable for us. The room was simple but spotlessly clean (and was cleaned every day), and we had a sea view from our upstairs room and small balcony. We liked having self-catering facilities so we could have breakfast and make an occasional, simple meal. There was everything we needed to do this, including a kettle, fridge, utensils, a tea towel, sponge, and washing up liquid. We were very pleasantly surprised to be given little packets of toast, butter, jam, coffee etc everyday, which was wonderful. They really seem to pay attention to the little things. It was about a 5 minute walk to the main beach and small hub of Pollonia, but there was a lovely bay, where you could access the sea even closer. We would definitely recommend staying here.

AustraliaNothing really- the property is a street or two from the sea so the balcony view is a bit interrupted but that is nit picking.
Exceptionally clean with nice quality fittings- our room was serviced every day with new bedding and towels which smelled delightful- the location is excellent- just a short stroll to the beach and village with its restaurants and bars. There is a restaurant just outside the building for people who prefer to stay really local.

AustraliaFirstly this is a family run business and you can tell. There is attention to detail and care taken throughout the building. The two daughters Sophia and Katarina are friendly, informative and welcoming. The newly renovated shower and bathroom is top notch and really makes a difference to this price range of accommodation. The room is very appealing with a balcony looking out to Kimilos and the tip of Pollonia.. Which means sunset drinks by the water are 2 mins away on foot. The location is away from the centre of a the very small town called Pollonia which means it is closer to the rocks and a really interesting coast line. We had the top floor so maximised the neighbourly peace. The restaurant across the street Rekamelo is superb for dinner and the owner Vanessa is amazing. Everything was really great hence why we gave this 9, all except for the double bed. It was hard and you can feel the springs. We cannot comment on any other bed than ours. When we asked for a topper, katarina obliged immediately. Sadly there was not enough of toppers for the 3rd traveller in our triple room which meant our friend had a poor night's sleep, after travelling from Germany overland and by ferry for 3 days to meet us in Milos. We have been spoilt in Sifnos and Folegandros with comfy beds and pillows. This might be the next investment for the lovely Stavros team? Nb. Read the small print re toiletries. We had received daily replenishment of hair and body gel throughout the islands so assumed (wrongly) we we get the same top up. Luckily was had some spare. When mentioned to the host, they did say they would provide more if we had asked them. Overall the price is great value for money but you may want to BYO shower stuff!

United KingdomNothing - it was completely perfect
The staff - the women that run Captain Stavros were incredibly warm and friendly and always greeted us with a smiling face. The room - it felt authentically Greek whilst also being very clean and modern. The location - just a 5 minute walk to the beach / pollonia central. We did a lot of research into the best place to stay on Milos, and after exploring the island we’re so glad we picked Pollonia.
