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.).

Right by all the restaurants and beach or Pollonia which was a really chilled out area of Milos. Sophie, who picked us up from the port, gave us great tips for what to do and where to eat. The room has everything we needed.

United StatesThe location is far from the airport/port. You will need a vehicle to really explore the island and all the beaches.
All the employees were extremely kind and helpful! The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay comfortable. The location was perfect as we were able to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops.

AustraliaNothing! We only wished we had more time and used the onsite spa!!
The location An easy 5-7min stroll into the Main Street of Pollonia where there are many beautiful restaurants and cafes to eat at. The area is very quiet and peaceful which means you’ll get a good night sleep! The swimming beach is located about a 3min walk away with lots of trees for shade. There is also a fabulous traditional Greek sweets shop in main town that is easily walkable too. If you’d like a peaceful stay close to a main town and swimming beach - this should be a top pick! They also have a large carpark if you are driving :) The room (comfort one bedroom apartment) Very clean and modern with all that we needed for our stay. The bathroom is a traditional style with a stone tiled shower. The room was very clean and towels were replaced daily. We had two balconies which was great for sun/shade depending on the time of day. There were two air cons and also a kitchenette. It’s a fantastic base for exploring Milos. The people!! The family and staff who run Garifalakis are some of the kindest people we’ve met on our travels. We had flight drama trying to arrive to Milos from Athens (as it was very windy our plane got turned around). We messaged Garifalakis and they told us about the last ferry out to Milo’s for the night. And they met us at the port at 1am to pick us up! They made check in so easy and made excellent recommendations on where to eat, hire ATVs, sail on a catamaran and where to explore to get the most out of the island. They are also extremely friendly and made coming back to the hotel at the end of the day really enjoyable - welcoming us like family with their kind greetings and conversations. We are already looking forward to returning to Garifalakis, it was an exceptional stay!

AustraliaClean room with comfortable bed. Very good location which is close to Pollonia beach and Pollonia centre (5-10 mins walk). Sofia, Sotirios and Nektarina are the BEST hosts we've had on our trip to Greece. I wish all hosts were like them. They recommended a very good local restaurant (Enalion) and a good brunch place (Deck). Absolutely the best and comfortable experience. They also gave us a little gift on check out. 10/10!

NigeriaLoved pretty much everything about the apartment. The only I thing I might say here is that the toilet and bath are quite miniature relative to sizes I'm used to in Nigeria. Nonetheless, it is very clean, well maintained and okay enough to have a decent bath.
Visited Milos, Greece from Nigeria between early - mid June 2024 with my partner, it was an overall amazing experience. Thanks to ours hosts at Garifalakis Comfort Rooms. The apartment is very much comfortable for two people, the cleanliness is on point and location is great. The owner of the apartment was very hospitable and helpful. She helped us arrange a seamless airport pickup upon arrival. We were lucky enough that this was done gratis. She also shared tips on places to visit, advise on car rental within the island and offered to drop me at the airport free of charge to pick up a car at a car rental service. The apartment is well lit, spacious, has a balcony spacious enough for dinner for 2 or 3, close to a pharmacy, supermarkets and restaurants. There's also good road access to other parts of the island. The staff were very responsive as well and regular cleaning was done. When we were departing, she (apartment owner) gave my wife a beautiful art work gift. Surely my number one go-to place if I visit Milos again. I strongly recommend this apartment.

The cleanliness, friendly service and location (4 mins walk to Pollonia bay with the supermarket etc). We were offered a pick up from the airport which was so helpful. When we checked in we were given fantastic information on what to do on the island. Everyone at the hotel was so helpful and lovely. We would 100% recommend Garifalakis if you are staying in Milos. We loved Pollonia too, great place to stay while on the island as it’s quiet but also has a great food scene!
