Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWe couldn't find the accommodation after getting off the Ferry. The directions are not correct and they have no signs to say Fresh Rooms, so we were lost for about 45 mins. I sent a message to Michael and he found us and drove us to the Accommodation. My suggestion is to be meet where your guest arrives (Airport or Ferry) with a sign "FRESH ROOMS". The room needs a really good clean between guests staying. The fridge should have bottles of water for the guests arrival also a ice tray with ice in the freezer and have some glasses for drinks. The washing line also needs more pegs for guests.
The view from the balcony was really great it overlooked the water and the airport. . I love to see the planes, ferries and boats coming and going.

HungaryThe electrical system is old, not all sockets worked well. Some improvemnet would be necessary (e.g.the lavatory was broken). You must know that the perfect view has a fee, there are many steps to reach the harbour street, the apartment is on the hillside.
We rented a sea view apartment for three people in August 2024. This apartment is located on the top floor and it had two levels inside the apartment. Its view is simple perfect from the big corner balcony; it is its best, we could see the entire harbour area and the runway of the airport too. The apartment has an old fashioned charm (my 9 year old kid has never seen such an old TV :) ). There is a huge bed for two on the upper lever, where the ceiling is very short and one big single bed on the lower level. It has a small kitchenette, but it is not well equipped at all, only cups, glasses and cutlery were available. I asked some plates, and got some, but the owner informed me this place is not suitable for cooking (the information is different on booking.com) There are daily cleaning, what is great and the owner ensures airport/harbour transfers for free. The main bus stop is very close, you can see it from the balcony.

United KingdomThe kitchen units were as expected for a studio apartment but were not well equipped as no cutlery, plates etc. We were able to make a coffee in the morning but that was it.
The location was lovely with views over the harbour and it was a short walk downhill to the town. We had a family room for a couple and my mum which was perfect as we slept in a mezzanine floor and she had a bed downstairs so a degree of privacy was possible for our 1 night stay at the end of our holiday. Our ferry was extremely delayed but Michael arranged where to meet us and helped by driving us and our bags up to the apartment block although we still had a flight of stairs to climb so he kindly allowed us to store most of our luggage in his office as we only needed a few bits for the 1 night. The following day he also drove us to the airport which was very kind of him!

United States of AmericaLocation is fantastic, but DEFINITELY not for those who cannot handle stairs. The amazing location is in part b/c of the hill right behind the harbor on which the rooms are located, but that involves going up and down some very uneven and quirky old-town type stairs. You are very close to the old greek-style windmill overlooking the port. I saw some families with elderly members really struggling getting up/down the stairs - beware. Not a bust on FRESH Rooms though, it is simply the reality of the terrain.
Super flexible and supportive staff. Initial connection on arrival was a bit spotty, but overall the staff/owner was very pleasant and helpful. Coming off the ferry, I was instructed to meet at a cafe for pick-up which seemed strange, but within 20 minutes (busy time?), Michael showed up with a vehicle to drive me (and luggage) as close to the room as possible. A healthy flight of stairs later (and Michael was super helpful with luggage, and I observed the same treatment for other guests), I was in a larger and more comfortable room than expected. A request (via Booking.com messaging) for a missing kettle was also responded to promptly. Complementary ride to airport (short) was also great.

United KingdomNot much really - perfect for the price.
Fresh Rooms are in a great location, our room (no. 9) was massive - church-like inside with a beamed ceiling. The bathroom was huge. I went with my 16 year old daughter and we shared a "large" double which is 2 very big singles attached and they are very comfortable. The balcony is perfect - as we were at the end, it overlooked the port and a hotel sign but I like this it feels very authentic Greece, and you can see the port and the sea which is lovely. You can walk to the town in a few minutes and there are steps or you can take more of a scenic route. Michael is the best host - he collected us and took us back to the airport - saves all the hassle of the bus. I will definitely stay here again, thank you Michael.

United KingdomNext time we would pay more and stay in a more spacious room. We felt that the room was a little bit on the small side but that is what we paid for so not a problem.
The location was excellent and the room was kept spotlessly clean. Michael the host was really helpful, friendly and fun. We felt very much at home. This was our fourth time in Skiathos but our first time staying at Fresh Rooms. We would most definitely go back.

United KingdomThere was a mix up with our booking and we had to stay in a much smaller room for the 1st 3 nights. We were given no discount for this despite the owner saying he would give us one. There is no hot water in the mornings in either room, only in the evening. The self catering facilities are extremely limited.
Lovely owner who picks you up from the port or airport and drops you back which is very useful as there are steps up to the apartments and they are not clearly signed so would be difficult to find! The room we booked was room 9 which was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely view of the port. The location is great with the town only minutes walk away.
