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 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 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.).

IsraelGoogle maps does not show u the shortcut to the property. The hostess sent us a message a day before but we missed it and they were not responding in the morning so we had to take the bus and walk there. Google maps is not good at all in Ios. We suggest looking at the map to know the general direction and then just walking in that direction, u will get where u need in much less time. Once the hostess showed us the shortcut it was fine. Also we saw kitchen in the photos but there was no kitchen, only refrigerator.
The property was in a beautiful place and the walk to the bus station is like seven minutes and it’s beautiful.

Sweden1) It has a truly spectacular sea view in an ideal location, the best on Ios, very calm and very central at the same time. 2) The hosts are at the same time very professional and very friendly and helpful. Katerina really knows how to make a stay both utterly relaxing and family style inclusive in her true caring for the well being of her guests. 3) The fantastic cleanliness of the whole place.

SpainQuiet some stairs to climb. Not easy when you have a heavy suitcase. We had a triple room which left us very little space for our suitcases.
Wonderful view. Quiet area of Chora. 5min by foot to center of Chora. Next door is a small coffee house for breakfast or evening drink enjoying the view. Our rooms was little but very clean. It was cleaned daily. The terrace is comfortable with a very nice view. Very nice and helpful hosts.

The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. We got lost when we arrived and couldn't find the hotel but they came to find us and picked us up. Honestly cannot fault them.

AustraliaThe aircon in my room was not great, but suitable for the stay and when mentioned it to the owners, said they would get someone in to fix it, so all should have been taken care of.
The location was exceptional as were both owners who offered to pick up and drop off at the port, saving a gruelling 20 mins walk up a steep hill to the accommodation.

Our stay at Palm was incredible. We arrived in the evening and were instantly at the heart of Ios, minutes away from the main restaurants, bars and clubs. The view from the balcony was stunning and by far the best place to watch Ios' sunsets from. The room was spacious, the hosts were beyond lovely and the location couldn't have been better. We loved it so much we stayed another night. If you're looking for a place to stay in Ios to enjoy all it has to offer, go to Palm!!!
