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.).

ItalyYou have to walk a bit up, through steps, from the bus stop and the centre, but honestly, you walk through very nice, narrow streets and very nice viewpoints. I would choose Apollonia only for this.
Maria is amazing! Very kind and very welcoming, my friend was vegan, and Maria found different creative ways to fulfil her needs for the breakfast...delicious! The room is not big, but it has everything, comfortable, perfect wifi, and the view in the morning sunrise is spectacular! There is also the hanger for clothes and some shower gel in the bathroom, the hairdresser is powerful and attached to the wall.

FinlandBe aware that the house is located on a hill, so everything you take with you has to be carried up the winding staired path to the house. Not really an issue as the walk is only about 5 min, but good to know before booking.
The location of Maria’s house was beautiful overlooking the village of Apollonia and over to the sea. She was a wonderful host, willing to help us with anything we needed. The breakfast was very tasty and Maria had even included fresh homemade cakes and lemon juice in it every day. Overall 10/10 recommendation.

Lovely clean room in a quiet location and with an amazing sea view from the terrace. Perfectly situated between Apollonia and Artemonas with great food options in both places. Personally think restaurants in Artemonas a slight edge. 5 to 10 minute walk to bus stop, bars and restaurants. Maria, your host, is beautiful, friendly and helpful with great advice. Comfortable bed and very nice breakfast.

United StatesI wish the bathroom, especially the shower, was a bit larger.
It was convenient to the center of town but far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle. The room was spotless, and Maria could not have been more hospitable. She greeted us with lemonade and a local orange sweet, supplied maps and information and made us feel very much at home. Later in the stay, we asked Maria for a couple of wine glasses to help toast the sunset on their veranda and she returned with not only the wine glasses but a plate of sweet bread, cheese and olives from her own garden. It made the day and the stay that much more special. Breakfast was simple, delicious and filling and sustained us through most of the day. It was a wonderful experience.

United KingdomThe sign for the property is not clear so I walked past it and was lost until a neighbor pointed it out. Note: it’s on steps going up a hill (hence the great view) so be aware if you have heavy luggage like me and plan accordingly.

United KingdomA 10 minute walk up a steepish hill from the town so those with walking limitations should avoid. You need to take a bus to the beaches and other villages.
Landed in the dark so not the easiest place to find. Breakfast was great an array of homemade cakes + yogurt, bread jams. Great central spot for those who are hiking.

NetherlandsThe breakfast terrace was right outside our room as it s a small place so it was easy to hear people chat in the morning - but it wasn't much trouble in the end. I would stay again in the same place :)
Staying at Maria s place is always such a pleasure. Relaxing, quiet, perfect breakfast, and Maria and her husband are the most wonderful hosts. It s also probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed in. Its 10 min walk from both Apollonia and Artemonas, on the most picturesque Greek street. I cannot wait to return.

United KingdomEverything was fantastic. This is a very small family run place. There are only 5 rooms and the terrace is shared but there is enough space for everyone. Really great place to relax. Amazing views from the terrace. Great location as it’s halfway between Artemon and Apollonia and both are worth a visit. Maria’s breakfast is delicious. If you don’t have your own transport from the port you might want to pre book a taxi to Ano Petali. There are buses from the port to Fira but they are not very frequent and don’t always coincide with the ferry arrivals so check the timetable. There are no taxis at the port unless you pre-book. This information might change in high season but I would check before.
