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.).

TurkeyA bit noise from the bar next building and some boat owners but it was not a problem about the room.
The location was very nice with a magnificant view of Symi’s beauty, next to the ferry harbour, near every where, value for money. The room was very wide with comfortable furniture. The balcony was the best part. We communicate with the host online, she was so kind. There were coffee, tea, butter and jams on the fridge. If ı go again ı will stay in the same room.

GermanyDoor to balcony needs some maintenance (handle and proper fitting to the frame). Motion activated light at the outside gate leading to the entrance door could be adjusted to stay on long enough to comfortably get the key in the door at night. As the kitchenette does not have a cooktop or oven, a small microwave would be a great addition to allow heating up cold food.
The unit is a single room with kitchenette and small bathroom. It was perfect for our 2 night stay. The owner was quick to meet us, after we called to say we had arrived, and give us the key and show us in. She also allowed us a (very) late check out after the ferry was delayed several hours. Location was perfect with a superb view from the windows and little balcony on the first floor. A good mini mart very close. Fast ferry to/from Rhodes docks not more than 5 minutes from the front door (the slow big ferry is about 1km walk around the harbour on the opposite side). Even though we stayed in the off season, there were several restaurants and bakeries open. Symi itself is a truly beautiful place to visit - the harbour, the village, Pedi village, the Panormitis monastery and the island. Local buses are available just on the other side of the small harbour. One thing to note is that many of the best places to visit and best views require the ability to manage many, many stairs.

United KingdomNearly locked ourselves out of the apartment. If locking the door when leaving the apartment do not pull up the handle as this locks the door and there is no way to open it from the outside.There is a separate lock further up the door for which a key is provided.
Perfect setting overlooking the harbour. Close to restaurants and ferry port but still quiet at night. Balcony was perfect for breakfast and evening drinks.

United Kingdomnot a criticism of the property at all but the island in general- if you have trouble with accessibility or steps, this might not be the trip for you… although this property is only up one flight of stairs, you’d only be able to access the lower of the island with restaurants and things.
an absolutely incredible stay! the apartment is above a little shop so we went in there to collect the keys and everyone was lovely! you go up some steps to the right of the apartment and enter through an open shop (which was lovely to be always greeted with smiles!). we are two young women travelling alone and we felt incredibly safe our whole trip- the trip of a lifetime! there was a huge tv, aircom available all hours of the day and the beds were SO comfy. but the balcony definitely had to be the highlight! the views were incredible, and there was a lively bar next door (couldn’t hear with doors closed) which had a played music which really added to the atmosphere! definitely the better side of the island to be on as you view the majority of the houses on the other side of the island. The shower was amazing too had a waterfall overhead and a smaller handheld and was so lovely after a swim. There are so many little shops so we mainly ate fruit and toasties (apartment comes with a toastie maker too!) An absolutely incredible stay and cannot recommend enough. amazing value for money, everything is a short walk away. definitely recommend a day trip on a water taxi to st george’s bay too - absolutely incredible. we also woke up early most mornings (about 5) and walked down left of the property to watch the sunrise and swim. would recommend doing atleast one morning! there’s also if you keep walking up the steps past the apartment a walk that gives amazing panoramic views of symi next to a huge greek flag- took some amazing photos! definitely book!!!!! p.s if you go to st george’s bay in particular don’t sit on any rocks in the sea we got stung on our bums by sea anemones and let me tell you it wasn’t fun haha!

We stayed at Cavos for five nights and it was absolutely brilliant. The view was astonishing, the hospitality of Mrs Dikea was exceptional and we literally felt like home. The room was spacey, confortable, and the recommendations from Mrs Dikea made our stay amazing. Part of our fantastic time in Symi is linked with our stay at Cavos and our interaction with the hospitable owners. Cannot recommend enough!

The room was very large with a king size bed and single. The location was the best with a view on the other side of the harbour and in front of moored yachts. Shops, restaurants and a beach were close
