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 KingdomChris and Annerie went above and beyond to make sure our stay in Ios was perfect. Their hotel honestly feels like home and they provided fab recommendations which made us fall in love with the island. I cannot recommend the hotel or the hosts enough. We hope to come back again soon

This hotel is heaven! I mean, where to start ... Here you have wonderful and friendly hosts, who are very dedicated to their guests. Their warm welcome (pick up at the port, welcome drink, advices for the trip, their company) feels like being part of something bigger than just being a guest in a hotel. Ios is not just a party island and in this boutique, in this family-run hotel you will find everything for great relaxation: amazing views with infinity pool, very delicious and big, homemade breakfast, charming rooms with balcony and terrace, regular housekeeping ... And mostly: privacy and peace. Our hosts even arranged a good rent-a-car price for us and pick up at the hotel. They recommended many good tavernas and restaurants with traditional food and sunset spots as well. If you go to Ios, stay in Sea Breeze Hotel, you won't regret it! We are definitely coming back. 🙂

SwedenI’d say the distance to the main Chora (the town center), but there are buses leaving from the port for just 2€, or you could just get a taxi. We chose to walk to the clubs most of the time which for us didnt feel like a problem. The distance makes the place very calm so I’d say it’s a fair tradeoff.
Amazing view, crazy infinity pool, nice and calm but still just a 15 minutes walk from the port where many good and very priceworthy restaurants are located. The cleaning was exceptional. We stayed in may, when the town is very calm, along with the beaches and the restaurants. The genuine people all over Ios really makes it stand out compared to Santorini. Best of all was our hosts, really amazing people, never met so kind and caring hosts, can’t thank them enough for making our stay the best it could be.

New ZealandIos has limited fresh water resources, so you need to be mindful of usage. This is not unique to this hotel.
There are stunning views from this beautifully landscaped hotel which has spacious well appointed rooms and is run by a lovely fun couple. Free ferry pick up and drop off was a bonus.

United StatesAnnerie and Chris are an awesome couple! They went out of their way to show us the town, give us a few amazing suggestions and recommendations, and make our time on Ios as memorable as possible. Their small hotel is beautiful, with spotless rooms, good breakfast, and a breathtaking infinity pool and sundeck. They run an incredible hotel, and their hospitality and kindness was a highlight of our honeymoon to Greece!

United KingdomWhilst we went at the end of the season, some of the bars and tavernas had already closed. This did not however effect our stay at all.
This hotel and its owners are both exceptional. From meeting Annerie at the port, meeting Chris at the hotel, seeing the view from my room and the amazing infinity pool, I knew I had found one of the best places I have ever stayed. The room was very clean and had all the facilities we could have needed. The view from the balcony was stunning. The swimming pool is amazing and was still relatively warm in October. The owners, Chris and Annerie, are really friendly and could not do enough for you. Annerie picked us up and dropped us back to the port. On arrival, Chris gave a full preview of the hotel and the island, including where to eat and drink. Their hospitality was truly amazing. Overall, the hotel covers all points excellent... location, room, facilities, pool, hospitality, and friendliness. I have travelled all over the world, and I can honestly say this was one of the best stays I have ever had.

The hospitality of Christos and Annerie in particular who introduced us to their lovely hotel. It is perfectly located overlooking the port and beach. The room was lovely. The breakfast was delicious. They pretty much do it all themselves and could not be more helpful and attentive. Highly recommended on Ios.

CanadaBreakfast included would have been nice. Breakfast of omelet or pancakes or ham & cheese sandwich is 10 EUR. And if they could provide beach towels, that would have been great. Otherwise, we had zero complaints! Be aware that there is a steep climb from the road to the hotel!
The location was perfect! We had an amazing view across the sea to the port and buildings along the bay. We were only a short walk from the Yialos Beach, where we did some snorkelling in the rocks and grass along the edge of the water. We saw many varieties of pretty fish. We could walk to the main city of Chora using the step path in about 20-25 minutes. The walk to Myloplatos Beach took about 55 minutes. The hotel has a lovely pool and very comfortable loungers and seating. Chris is a very attentive host, committed to ensuring we had a most enjoyable stay. The landscaping around the Seabreeze is like nothing we have ever seen! Absolutely stunning! Annerie picked us up from the port when we arrived and dropped us off on our departure day.

United StatesEverything was perfect!
Wow wow wow!!! This hotel was everything I dreamed of and more! I had a wonderful stay here in Ios. Chris and Annerie were the sweetest hosts. Annerie picked me up and dropped me off at the port, so I didn’t have to walk or take a taxi. They offered so many recommendations on the island, from restaurants, to activities, to the best beaches. The hotel is ~15 minute walk to the bus stop at the port, but I didn’t mind. The walk was easy and the views are incredible. The hotel is even more beautiful than the pictures online. The landscape is like a tropical paradise. Everything is very well maintained. There is daily housekeeping which is also nice. I loved sitting on the beach chairs at night just to admire the town. This hotel is truly a hidden gem. I stayed 4 nights, but wish I stayed longer. I will definitely be staying here the next time I am in Ios! The absolute best family run hotel! Don’t hesitate to book here (but book directly though their website)!
