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.).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing
I almost don’t want to review this place so I can keep it a secret, in my opinion this is by far the best location to stay in Platys Gialos, there’s everything you could possibly want here, it’s perfectly placed at the end of the bay, it’s quiet with all the restaurants just a short stroll along the beach. There’s more sun-beds than residents so you won’t have to worry about missing out, the breakfast is fantastic, Dmitri, the host, is a really nice guy and super helpful. All the staff are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. When we go back to Sifnos, this is the place we’ll stay. There is not one thing I’d change.

The hotel is beautifil, right at the beach, there are sunbdes, snorkelling equipment and quite a few restaurants nearby. The bathroom were renovated this year. There is also a bus stop right in front of the hotel to go to Apollonia or to the port in Kamares. The breakfast is delicious, lots of good and fresh food. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Beautiful place.

FranceIt was our first time in Sifnos and we stayed at the Platys Gialos Hotel for 5 nights. We loved it! Dimitri and the whole team are brilliant, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is spotlessly clean and has a wonderful location right on the beach with loads of sunbeds. We had a large room in the ground floor with lovely terrace and you could hear the waves and sea at night lying in bed. Perfect! Would highly recommend and well deifntley be back.

GreeceFrom the moment we arrived at PLATYS GIALOS Hotel, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of pure relaxation and exceptional hospitality. This hotel is a hidden gem on the beautiful island of Sifnos, where every detail has been carefully crafted to offer an unparalleled experience of luxury and comfort. Our room was nothing short of spectacular. We were welcomed into a spacious, elegantly designed room with breathtaking views of the Platys Gialos bay. The decor harmoniously blended traditional Cycladic architecture with modern amenities, creating a serene and inviting ambiance. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with plush linens that ensured a perfect night's sleep. The private balcony was a highlight, offering panoramic views of the island's stunning landscape. The level of service at PLATYS GIALOS Hotel is truly exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring that our stay was perfect in every way. From the seamless check-in process to the concierge services, every interaction was marked by professionalism and a sincere desire to exceed our expectations. The hotel's restaurant served some of the best meals we’ve had in Greece. The breakfast, in particular, was a daily delight, with a wide array of options that catered to every taste. The dining area, overlooking the sea, made each meal a memorable experience. The private beach area was another highlight, offering a tranquil space to unwind and soak up the sun. The crystal-clear waters, seemed to blend seamlessly with the horizon. Food and Beverages service was prompt and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our day. Our stay at PLATYS GIALOS Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. It is the perfect retreat for anyone seeking to experience the magic of Sifnos in a setting of unparalleled comfort and luxury.

AustraliaWe had a fantastic time at this hotel. The staff are all very friendly and make the stay feel like you are part of the family. The rooms are sparkling clean everyday and nothing is too much trouble. You are right on the safe sandy beach. Complimentary sun beds are provided, and there is a pool if you need one. The hotel was the first built in Sifnos but the rooms have recently been refurbished. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

United KingdomAs soon as we arrived we were greeted by the hotel owner with a drink, he really was so welcoming and friendly. He told us where to visit and even offered to take us. The hotel is in the best position on the whole bay, it’s absolutely beautiful. The rooms were immaculately clean and the location was stunning. The food at the hotel was lovely as were all the staff. The owner also leant my sons his fishing rods which was a dream come true for them. We will definitely be returning but for longer next time.

AustraliaN/A It’s all superb
So many things to love about this property. The location was superb- right on the beachfront, the hotel had everything we needed and the staff were truely wonderful. The hotel has been in the family for generations and that shows through their service and the amazing family artwork and design throughout the property. The best place to stay in Sifnos, walking distance to all of the restaurants and bars in the bay and the bus stop was right out the front to visit other villages.

CanadaThe breakfast was okay, but items could have been fresher and replenished more often. The coffee was great as were the frappes.
This location is our favourite. On the far end of Platys Gialos, it is private yet on the large, gorgeous beach. We love that all of the rooms have sea views and that there are dedicated beach chairs with umbrellas for guests. This is and feels like a family-run hotel, the largest on this beach but still very Greek and very personable. The staff is generous and helpful. To those wondering-- they have renovated all of the bathrooms.

United StatesCan’t think of anything that we did not like.
I normally don’t give reviews, and I want to start off by saying I don’t trust 10 out of 10 ratings. But…. The whole property was amazing. Great location, right on the beach. Dimitris, one of the owners, is one of my favorite people. He was one of the best hosts I have stayed with. I cannot go on enough of how welcome we felt and how accommodating the whole of the staff were. From loaning me a usb-c to usb-c cable for my drone, to recommending a fantastic place to view and dine for the most incredible sunset. Miss this place at your loss. Thank you Dimitris!!
