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.).

GermanyThe property (only three separate small houses) are located just outside Andros town in a lush garden. You can spend the entire day there on your individual shady terrace and just listen to to birdsong, or start one of the may walking tours that begin right in Andros. Kostas, the generous and attentive host, cooks a wonderful breakfast every morning (each time something different) with all ingredients (vegetables, fresh herbs, eggs, meat, cheese, milk products and preserves) coming from the garden or Kostas’ small farm nearby. Ideal for individual travelers who wish to really wind down.

United KingdomNothing to report at all everything was exceptional
We found this property to be exceptional and beyond our belief. We both work in aviation and have travelled the whole world but have never found anything as superb as small paradise. Kostas was an amazing person , he spoilt us , his food was out of this earth , he is so knowledgeable about his products he grows and he has attention to detail when he cooks. Nothing was too much for him and we are glad we have found our small paradise in this part of the world . Thank you Kostas and we will return !

AustriaWe had very high expectations because of the good reviews but Mr. Kostas managed to exceed them. In addition to the wonderful breakfast he sometimes prepares delicious meals made from homegrown organic ingredients. Mr. Kostas also made very good suggestions on where to go/what to do and brought us to places with his car since we did not have a rental car. He even provided snacks (cherry juice, dried figs, raisins, walnuts, - all homegrown) for a hiking trip. The modern apartment is well-equipped (kettle, tea, coffee, cooking equipment), clean and beautifully furnished. A small pradise indeed!

AustraliaEverything was perfect. There was nothing we didn't like
The accommodation was beautiful. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. We liked the location as it was quiet and peaceful but not too far from the town centre. Best of all was our host, Kosta. Kosta is a very kind, generous and considerable man and made us feel like family. We arrived very late on our first day and Kosta had dinner ready for us knowing that we would be too tired from our long trip to go out. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious with something different every day. Kosta gave us recommendations on sites to visit, nice beaches to go to and when we came back he would have a treat waiting for us, cake, juice etc. Thank you Kosta for making our stay very pleasant.

The property is beautiful and serene. We loved it so much. Our host was a dream. He had prepared us supper because he knew our flight had been delayed and we hadn't eaten yet. Delicious produce from his farm for breakfast - he made us extra food for the beach and often left cake fresh juice and homemade wine and snacks for us when we returned home in the late afternoon. He had excellent advice for beaches according to the wind - we saw many beautiful places we'd have missed without him. We would return to Small Paradise in a heartbeat. A truly excellent and charming stay. Thank you Kostas!

The accommodation is also beautifully comfortable and clean in the middle of a little slice of paradise, not far from Chora if you want bars and restaurants too.

The breakfast is homemade, delicious and generous. They give good advices about the island spots.

United KingdomNothing.
We stayed at Small Paradise at the start of a two week holiday in Andros and were so happy with this as our introduction to the island. The hotel is in a beautiful, peaceful location, right on the edge of Chora. Kostas the owner is a truly lovely human and all of the food he grows and serves is such a treat. He told us lots about the island and gave us helpful tips on where to visit. This really is a special place that we would love to return.

BelgiumBeds are slightly hard if you are a bit sensitive, but no problem for us (even though I do have back problems it wasn’t an issue at all).
The host, Kostas, makes you feel like an actual member of his family with his care and warm reception. Breakfast is incredibly good (and big), with diverse local home-grown food, presented with pride and affection. He is always available to help, even sometimes drive you somewhere for a hike, with all the local stories and history. Rooms are comfortable and clean, the bathroom had a modern design and the shower was lovely with different settings, things are exactly according to descriptions, with a living space making you feel at home. There is also a private outside space to enjoy the beautiful view. Location is 25min walk from Chora (city centre) which is fine if you’re okay with walking a bit. Very nice place surrounded by singing birds, lemon trees and good view on the mountain during breakfast.

JapanIf there was a god of Kindness in the ancient Greek Pantheon, his name would be Kostas. Kostas, the host, was fabulous. Welcoming, caring, feeding us with plenty of homemade food: different jams everyday, honey tasting like I never experienced before, cheese, yogourt, olives, herbs tea, greek coffee, salads, traditional dishes, wine, etc...You will not be able to finish the breakfast. He also cooked a fantastic dinner for us and on our arrival a lunch was ready. The flat is very modern with all the comfort needed, the farm around is a small paradise, It is very close to Chora which I found to be the most interesting town on the island, you have secluded beaches 10 minutes drive away, a supermarket 5 min walk away. Without exaggeration, we were sad to leave Kostas and his paradise. That kind of experience. Honestly, don't miss the opportunity to stay there if you are around, and in fact even if you have to make a detour. Really, really worth it.

United KingdomIncredible place to stay on beautiful organic land just 5 minutes drive out of the lovely town of Chora (Andros Town). The host Kostas made us very at home the minute we arrived, right to when we left after our stay. Him and his family grow and make everything themselves and it’s fascinating to hear the stories behind the local produce - exploring the true Andros culture through delicious food is surely the best way to do it!? Being a local to the area Kostas also gave us some fantastic tips on places to visit and things to see. Particular highlights were remote beeches with crystal clear waters and barely anyone else there. We felt very relaxed and healthy after our stay and will certainly be going back! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in food and real Andros/Greek culture!!!

GreeceInternet connection was unstable and slow sometimes.
The apartments are located very close to Andros town, in an amazing bio garden, surrounded by nature, fruit orchards and flowers. It is totally relaxing, as you can only hear birds and cicadas as well as the occasional rooster. The rooms are super comfortable, equipped with all amenities, spotless and modern. Daily cleaning service. The host is simply amazing, going over and above to make the stay memorable. Breakfast is served in an amazing balcony with fresh produce from the garden, fruit, sweets and local products. Kostas is most helpful in providing tips and instructions for excursions and beaches. The beds are super relaxing, the bathroom spacious and the kitchen fully equipped! It is one of the places that one should visit again and again!

GermanyThe most authentic stay you can imagine. Andros is a green island (compared to some other islands of the Cyclades) and here you sleep in a green, peaceful paradise. The rooms are large and beautiful. But the best is the hospitality of Kostas. Every morning, he made a delicious breakfast with products from the own garden. All in all, we had an unforgetable time in a small paradise.
