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.).

United StatesDimitris was a great host. Very Clean accommodations. Spacious rooms and plenty of places for your clothes to store during your stay. The kitchen had a nice large sink and counter space for preparation. The supplies they offered were all we needed a couple of glasses, plates, bowls, silverware, a kettle for warming water for coffee. They had ice in the freezer and a bottle of water in the fridge when we arrived. Hot plate and More pots and pans we did not use. We find that most island bathrooms in Greece are small but very functional. Toilet, shower ( rain head and hand held) and a large sink. Under the sink was a nice area to hold all your essentials. We had a large balcony with a large clothing rack to dry and air out your beach things to be fresh for the next day. Beautiful village and sea view. The location was close to everything we needed a few super markets, and restaurants and bakery.. The beach was a short 5 minutes walk from the room. Many more beaches available by a boat @ port 10 minutes walk, or bus stop 5 minutes walk. Our stay on this beautiful island and perfect hotel was better than we ever imagined. Beautiful landscape and a very quite location. The rooms were quite and private. Cleaning service daily. Can't wait to go back someday. We highly recommend this property.

GermanyStill not so much kitchen ware as sharp knifes or a wooden plate. Would be nice to improve this for the future. And this time it felt a bit pricy for the 2nd week of June. But as it was booked out I understand dynamic pricing as well
My 3rd stay at Firoa who was nearly booked out at the beginning of June. This time I got a newlyvrenovated superior room which was spacious. Nice balcony with a flowering tree in front. As always the friendly and warm hearted host Dimitris did all to make my stay exceptional. WIFi problems were resolved the same day. Dimitris gives all his heart and power into the maintainance and improvement of his place. It’s a restful quiet oasis I can highly recommend

United KingdomFiroa Studios are a great option to stay Donousa: clean, comfortable, with a balcony to enjoy breakfast/aperitivo with a view. The studio is just a short walk from restaurants and shops, but at the same time very quiet and private. Staff was great, welcoming and flexible. Highly recommend!

SwedenIt's a great little studio just 3 minutes walk from Stavros beach. A wonderful and helpful host, picked us up at the port and even dropped us off at the port even though it was 3.00 in the morning. We liked the quietness of the place, as well as the surrounding areas. There are a bunch of restaurants and a few markets in a few minutes walking distance from the studios. Loved it.

NetherlandsThese studios lived up to my expectations so I have no negatives to report.
Free transfer from the port to the property. Room was being serviced when I arrived, but I still got my room at about 1100, appreciated. Room was spacious and very clean. Hand held shower, which does nt bother me but i know some people don t like it. Out of the small town but only about 5 minutes walk to the town. Short walk to a beautiful beach - crystal clear sea. There are beautiful well kept gardens. The host was friendly and very helpful with advice.

United KingdomWe really loved staying here and plan to return soon. Dimitri is a great host, warm, welcoming and friendly. He picked us up and dropped us off at the port and regularly checked with us to see if there was anything we needed. The room was a great size and had been recently updated and decorated. Really comfortable bed and lovely bed linen and towels. The room was cleaned everyday. It had a good functional kitchen. Bathroom was brilliant, rainfall shower with good water pressure and lots of hot water. We liked the location a lot. Just at the edge of the town with great sea views and set in a garden. Nice atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and chilling out.

AustraliaIt was SO windy and despite having all the windows AND shutters shut, the room was very noisy! Unless we address the effects of climate change, this situation was completely out of the hosts control. I did try to buy ear plugs but there were none available at the local shop and unfortuntely I hadn't packed any. Aside from that, the experience was lovely. Perhaps the bouganvillea could be trimmed back just a little to enjoy the view a little more. Not all of it of course!
I liked being picked up from the port. This is the beautiful thing about Greek hospitality. Personal service and attention! I actually liked the fact that the internet and wifi was sketchy as it was a great opportunity to completely disconnect from the world and immerse myself in Donoussa. Beautiful Donoussa! I liked sitting on the verandah having breakfast and looking out at the water. I LOVED the way the towels were laid out on the bed. Little paper boats!! Beautiful. Little touches that make you feel the love and care that the hosts put into their hospitality. Thank you for a wonderful time!
