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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

FinlandBooked in a hurry and thought there was a pool (my bad). Thinking now, I don't know if we would have used it even if there had been one - were too busy exploring the beaches.
Quiet, cosy, clean. A balkony with morning sun. Perfect for us who like to explore the destination by car. Exceptionally clean. Lots of tv channels, good wifi. Easy to park. About 100 m from the nearest bus stop. Within easy reach (by bus or car) from Kefalos village.

SloveniaThe electrical system. There is a card that you have to put in, in order to have electricity, owner said that card mustnt be in the slot for too long as it is a fire hazard, which means you wont be able to charge phone during the night, or have air conditioning for duration of the night.
Owner is friendly, but she cant speak English. Service is great, because she cleaned the apartmend daily, she also cleaned dishes, which was very unexpected. Location is near one small store, a nice beach and multiple resraurants and bars, also near bus stop.

United KingdomFor Greek apartments these were lovely. Basic, but had everything we needed and very clean. We were in room 2 on the lower level, which had a lovely sized balcony. 2 washing lines and plenty of pegs! The lower level balconies looked bigger than the upper level ones, so we were grateful to have a lower level, although the view would be better from higher up. We had sun on the balcony in the morning until early afternoon then it was in the shade. Which for us when we came back from a day at the beach was always appreciated. There was a safe in the room and air con which was included in the price. (Absolute bargain, as I’ve had to pay for both of these in Greek places before). Owners very attentive! They were always about if you needed them. They came and cleaned everyday, which I’ve never experienced in Greece before. They changed bed a few times in our weeks stay and gave fresh towels multiple times. In our room we had a small dining table and 2 chairs, but we also had table and chairs on the balcony too. Shower was very powerful Plenty of cupboard space and lots of hangers. You should go up to the roof as you get amazing views over the bay especially as the sun is setting behind you. We saw the moon rising which was incredible to watch each night. Very close to cavos beach and faros beach. It is a longer walk to kefalos beach, maybe around 15 minutes depending where you choose to go, as the bay is massive (and how quickly you walk.. it’s was 35 degrees when we were there so it was a bit of a slower walk for me)! Very close to local tavernas and supermarket, but as it’s set back a bit from main road it’s very quiet. Plenty of car parking space available too.

ItalyIt was a little difficult to find the property as the address provided was not the exact location on google maps, but it was close enough that we were able to find it after asking a local for help.
The property was easily reached even by public transport and located in a very calm area. It is a short walk from a beach area and nearby to many restaurants so it was quite convenient.

HungaryWifi could be stronger, that is my only complaint.
This is a great, budget-friendly option. It is much more close to the sea as it appears on Booking! Literary 5 minutes walk and you are by the water or 7-8 minutes walk and you are by the beach! Very quiet, no noisy roads or buildings nearby, The main bonus of this accommodation: cheap, very close to the sea and very quiet. Otherwise very simple furniture and basic equipment like plates, utensils, towels.If you plan to be outside and explore the island all day, totally recommend it.

NetherlandsBalcony room upstairs is tiny, just fit chair and small table for 2 persons. Kitchen supplies basic, not for real cooking, we ate out every day. Balconies are connected so not lot of privacy. No sunscrean on balcony so breakfast in morning to hot. Rooms downstairs have dubble sized balcony in front and back of the room but no seaview.
Very clean and well mantained building and basic room. Daily cleaning although not needed for us. Lots of fresh towels. Sea view. Hotel next door has pool and breakfast option. Short walk to first beach with paid sunbeds, longer walk to other beaches with also some free sunbeds if u choose to eat at the restaurants.

United Kingdomkefalos itself was a quiet resort, it was nice for a few days but found ourselves struggling of what to do or where to go of a night towards the end of our stay. nothing bad to say about the apartment itself: it was clean and value for money.
the hosts were extremely helpful throughout the stay. this was the first half of our trip before heading over to kardamena one morning. the hosts booked us a taxi to be picked up and were great at keeping in contact with us. the room was cleaned everyday whilst we were out and was in a good condition.

ItalyZero privacy on the balcony, as the studios look like a big cargobox and on the balcony it's a bit like being in a bar with a narrow patio, the shower isn't the best unless you hold the head shower. the internal closure of the door which does not allow the key to be inserted from the inside. in the evening it is noisy from the proximity of the neighbors who even if they speak softly you can hear everything, just close the doors to soften a bit.
The position is good, the view from the top was nice expecially sunrise time. The mattress was really confy. Anyway was good for 2/3 night enough to relax and pop from beaches to beaches the most beautiful in the islands!
