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.).

GreeceThe bathroom was the least nice part of yhe room. The development had no reception (just a gathering place) and the owner was very busy and not very responsive. Low privacy. There was no cleaning service for my 2 night stay (maybe normal).
The room was spacious. It had a lovely patio and a garden. The kitchen was fully equipped ( although never used it). The development had nice gardens and footways. The different rooms were very close to each other, which made you fell like you were part of a bigger group of people.

SingaporeEverything about this place is excellent, from the well-equipped rooms with terrace, the beautiful garden, to the friendly staff and the free port transfer. Donousa may be a barefoot, relaxed kind of island, but the owners of this hotel run a tight ship. I can see why so many people come back year after year, and stay for weeks at a time.

Our stay at Makares was perfect. The owner Lukas met us at the port. The apartment was stylish and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Best of all was the sea view looking across to Naxos. And the sunsets from the terrace were spectacular.

United KingdomThere are far too many people on the island in August for the facilities to cope with. Wish we'd gone earlier in the year but that's August allover Europe. The Skopelities tours boat wasn't running due to the wind but that can't be helped. It's nature.
The place was in a great location and the rooms where well equipped and stylishly decorated, comfy bed, chairs and umbrella on the balcony. Loukas was helpful and attentive, always replies to messages. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and made sure your requirements were fulfilled. Spotlessly clean with a lovely garden with herbs and flowers. Beautiful bougainvillea. Great sunsets. Nice walks early morning Donousa is lovely it's well worth a visit.

We loved staying here. It’s location is perfect for daytime exploring the island and eating out in the evening. The studio was fantastic, bright and clean with a good sitting out area. The bed was prefect, really comfortable. The overall atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. Everyone staying there appeared to be having a good time and were relaxed. A bit thanks to Loukas, firstly for the pick up and drop off, but mainly for taking the time to check that we were settling in. He seemed to go the extra mile.
