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.).

United KingdomThe hotel was perfect. The pool, garden and pool bar were really pretty, particularly the sea view. The beach was just in front which was great and it was a small walk to the town.

United KingdomHonestly, wouldn't change a thing.
The hotel had everything we needed around us - access to beach, pool, things to do and places to eat. The staff were wonderful - really helpful and helped us sort out everything we needed. We felt very welcome travelling with a toddler.

United KingdomWhen the hotel became fully occupied it was difficult to find a sun bed.
Lovely family run hotel in a quiet location 15 minute walk along the beach front into Sami. All the staff were very extremely friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed, good selection of food at breakfast, continually replenished as necessary and a reasonable choice of lunches in the bar area. BBQ was well organised, plenty of food with a good atmosphere. Private beach in front of hotel. Liked the shady areas between the pool and beach.

United KingdomI think the breakfast could be improved. Not enough fresh fruit available, the patisserie was of a low standard and poorly cooked scrambled egg. I realise that it is difficult to retain good quality eggs in a buffet style breakfast but I think they could be improved.
The location was brilliant and the pool excellent . Good bar and charming staff. A lovely friendly feel throughout the hotel.

DenmarkThe staff was exceptional and the room was perfect! The madras was wonderful and we had a great view of the ocean from our room. Again, I need to complement the staff. My boyfriend and I felt very welcome and we experienced how the guests of this hotel keeps coming back because the service is on top!

AustraliaI didn't want to leave. I was actually emotional on the Levante Ferry after boarding as we had to get ours from Poros Port. What got me is fell in love with Kefalonia❤️ just something about the island and the breakfast staff giving you a hug saying goodbye and thing you that we are good people
Very nice place. Staff of the hotel very nice & kind. Facilities were great. Being other side of island Sami to us felt like central to go here and there even.if was 54mins-1 hour drive . We were close around corner from Drosgayo caves & Melisani caves . Greek breakfast was good parking on property great. The beach bar opened till midnight to have drinks

United KingdomI wanted to stay longer.
Everything - we loved it here! I've never stayed in a place like this before, and if we ever come back to Sami we would definitely stay here again. Staff were fabulous. The beach outside was great to swim in (stony, so bring something for your feet if you're not used to that), as was the pool. The bar was great to have some lunch and a cold drink. We walked to the Melissani Caves, and then Drogarati (a much longer walk to the second, but fine if you like walking like we do!), and ate a couple of times in town (Adonis = awesome) and at a place in Karavomilos where we spotted the hotel staff also enjoying a meal. Honestly, this is one of the best places I've stayed at.

Been in Greece several weeks. This has been the best hotel. Had a great free breakfast, great location, great amenities like a pool and small beach out front. Great room and service. Close to Sami but a little distance which was a good thing.
