Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandEverything was absolutely 100% perfect at this property. The staff were amazing, the breakfast outstanding, the villas had everything we could possibly need and loved having our own private pool. We really enjoyed our walks and/or bike rides down to the beach. Perfect location - nice and quiet, but very close to everything. Will absolutely stay here again!

By far the nicest places we have stayed, apartment was immaculate with lots of room, beautiful pool area, robes and slippers were a nice touch. Stelios arranged a taxi from the port for us and allowed us to check in early and leave late and gave us lots of recommendations for Naxos.

The apartment was absolutely immaculate. The decor was really nice, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really nice. The kitchen was well equipped with all you need for light meals if you want to cook and make snakes.. toastie machine blender ect.. The hot tub was clean and well positioned to watch the sunset. It is in a really nice setting with olive and pomegranate trees there is even goats across the road which you can watch play ect. I have stayed in a lot of resorts and hotels around the world but the kindness and service i received from the owner on my trip was the best i had. A really nice taxi was arranged for us to and from the hotel (mercedes & bmw) we was also sent to a different hotel once we checked out to wait for our boat where we could use the pool and shower there. I have never received this before when a room was not free it goes to show how kind and helpful the owner of this hotel is. A bottle of wine is left in the room when you arrive along with fruit and some juice in the fridge. Its the little touches like this that make a stay. It was cleaned every day by a lovely cleaner with fresh towels daily and fresh bedding every two days. It is a maximum of 10minute walk to Plaka beach and the road isnt that busy as some suggested just stick to the side like you would anywhere. We rented a scooter which was delivered to the hotel but lots of people rented cars. I dont think this is necessary a scooter is fine and easier to park ect. Definitely be back here and definitely recommend to anyone.

SwedenIf you son don’t have a car you have to walk a bit along a dark road if late in the evening.
Perfect accommodation for a larger family. 3 bedrooms and place to socialize both inside and outside. Nice with your own pool which invites to a nice and relaxing vacation. Pool and apartment were cleaned every day. Nice and luxurious place to enjoy you holiday!

SwitzerlandI would say it was near-perfect; just a few minor things that are not a show-stopper! Bed was just abit soft for my taste, but that's a personal taste and appreciate that all places will not have firm beds. But it was still not too soft - was in between soft & firm. I was still able to have a good nights sleep. I thought the closet space in the bedrooms could have been more; you have little space to unpack - so must leave most of the stuff in the suitcases; but was still manageable. There were mosquitoes in the area so opening windows at night for fresh sea breeze did let in mosquitoes - ended up with mosquito bites but they don't cause malaria - so all ok, just a nuisance (but maybe install mosquito nets on the beds to solve the problem). It's nice to be able to walk to Plaka beach in about 10 mins, but you have to walk down a relatively busy road (without side walk); would be nice to have another route/path to/from the beach without having to deal with cars - especially at night when coming back from dinner at restaurants along the beach. Nothing to do with the property, but just be aware you have to buy your bus tickets at the mini market on Plaka beach before you get on the bus (we didn't know so missed the first bus as we thought you could get tickets on the bus). But bus connections are frequent so not a big deal.
This was by far, the best place we stayed during our trip to Greece that covered Santorini, Naxos & Athens. I would say it was near-perfect and wish we could have stayed longer. The owner (Stelios) was very personable, friendly & helpful. Was cleaned daily, new towels, and bathroom soaps, toilet paper replenished and that was well-appreciated. Place was relatively new and spacious and very well-designed from an Architectural point of view. It was in a quiet area away from the noise on the beach with tourists. The furniture was also very authentic and really made it feel like you are at a coastal resort on holiday. I got some inspiration for my next construction project. Next time we visit Naxos, we'll for sure stay here again. It's well located near the Plaka beach although you have to walk down a relatively busy road (without side walk) to get to beach about 10mins walk. Property grounds well kept and clean. Apartment had a Jacuzzi that I personally didn't try but our teenage daughter tried and loved it. Probably could have used the apartment with the pool instead of Jacuzzi. There was always a nice cool breeze from the ocean. We didn't use the A/C as it was cool enough in the apartment and did not need it. Kitchen had everything needed --we only made breakfast, but there was Olive oil, salt, etc provided. We also found a welcoming bottle of white wine & fruits on arrival. Great restaurants all along Plaka beach and a couple of mini-markets to get basics. Bus connections to Chora along the beach road also made it easier to access the downtown area.

AustraliaBeautiful villa within walking distance of beach. Extremely friendly and helpful staff who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is everything you could hope for. Stelios is a friendly face to meet you when you arrive and provides great local advice on beaches, restaurants, shopping and car hire. Irene and Amanado cannot do enough to help with anything you require inside the villa. We would recommend Sea & Olives very highly.

IrelandIt's a little out, but that's the charm. You need a car/bike to get around. But you also need wheels to explore the island, so it ends up not being a problem...
The villa was exceptional. Shower, kitchen, sofa, hot tub... But THE BED... No words to describe how comfortable it was. Everything screamed luxury... Stelios and team were amazing... Definitely, one hundred percent recommend this place.

The suite was gorgeous and new. very modern. The host Stelios was awesome. Very helpful, informative, helps us rent a car which is necessary cuz you’re like in a tiny village away from town and sites. My husband and I are planning to book Sea & Olives next fall again.
