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.).

Brilliant location, with a lovely pool. Clean with helpful and friendly staff. Quirky rustic rooms. Great breakfast too. We loved it. Very convenient pick up and drop off from the port. Gorgeous home made lemonade.....

GermanyWe really liked the hotel. You can see the attention to detail in this hotel. Dimitris and his team create an atmosphere that is personal and makes you feel immediately welcome. In addition, Dimitris, the owner, supported us with lots of tips and recommendations around the island and was always super accommodating. This made our holiday even more special. The hotel is also in a great location. It's only a few steps to the beautiful old town of Chora, whose charm made us feel like we were in paradise. Despite the proximity to the old town, which is lively in the evenings, the hotel offers great peace and quiet where you can relax. The Polikandia Hotel is a MUST when you come to Folegandros :). Thank you for a wonderful time.

United StatesThe WiFi didn’t stay connected, so had to log in again each time we used it.
We loved the beautiful pool area and appreciated that you could order drinks onsite. It was only a short 2-3 minute walk into town to access many more food and drink options. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, and had a patio area with direct access to the pool. Wish we could have had stayed longer, but maybe will be back someday!

United StatesBeautiful property & rooms in the classic Cycladic Greek style, super convenient central location, and a wonderfully helpful staff! Although you will probably do most of your swimming at one of the many beaches on the island, the hotel pool is a wonderful place to sit and spend and afternoon reading if the beaches are too windy. Our room had private terrace with a wonderful view of the Church of Panagia!

Czech RepublicSome dead palm trees looked like they might have needed removing.
Polikandia is a hotel with A LOT of character; I'm not sure how to describe its style but 'theatrical Cycladic rusticana' might be a fair bet. It is a unique hotel on the island with most others opting for a kind of pared-back, more minimalist Greek 'island-style'. The hotel is excellently situated in the Chora, literally around the corner from the main square and a few footsteps from a spectacular viewpoint over the sea. The pool area is draped with vibrant bougainvilleas, and come evening, bathed in dramatic aquamarine lights. Subtle it isn't, one might even say it borders on the kitsch. But these old school charms aside, it is run with military precision by what would appear to be a family operation. Everything is scrupulously clean and well-maintained. The rooms have a quaint luxuriousness, are textured and personalised with Greek tchotchkes. It definitely has a sense of romance to it and feels like it would particularly suit couples.
