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.).

Very friendly owner and staff. We had a problem with A/C in our room on our arrival, and they immediately offered us a different room. The beach was amazing, sundbeds were free and comfortable. The location of Venus is away from crowds and any villages, but this is exactly what we were looking for. Have in mind that the closest shops are like 25 min driving by car 😉

ItalyJust a small suggestion to change the mattress (too soft for aging backs :-))
The location is remote and very quiet with a beautiful beach equipped with umbrellas and beds, also managed by venus rooms. The restaurant serves very nice local food and breakfast is generous. If you want to relax by the beach for a few days and be pampered by the staff of venus rooms, then that's the place for you.

United KingdomNot a criticism but just to be aware there isn’t a shop or other restaurants near so make sure you have all you need with you and are happy to eat at the on-site restaurant every day (it’s really good so we didn’t find that a problem at all)!
A really friendly team who are welcoming and helpful. Beautiful setting, only a minutes walk to a lovely beach which has crystal clear water. The breakfast buffet is varied and delicious. The restaurant has really tasty options for breakfast lunch and dinner. The hotel picked us up and dropped us off to the port and also took us into Chora where the main town is. The room is really clean and comfortable and was cleaned every day during our stay.

We took advantage of the shuttle service from the port which was very good. We arrived at the accommodation and were gives the warmest welcome from all the family. The room was lovely with some nice little touches. The bed was very comfortable. We had a large balcony/terrace which we were delighted with. The restaurant served good food and drinks and all of the staff were very attentive. The beach was amazing and the sea was warm and crystal clear. We will definitely be returning.

LatviaAfter a miserable night being awakened at 2am by partiers above us at the Far Out Beach Club hotel my husband and I sought respite at Venus rooms on the opposite side of Ios island. Upon check-in we were warmly welcomed by Alexandra, the hotel house keeper and her boss, the hotel owner. It was nice to support a local Greek islander's business. Alexandra showed us to our tidy room and presented us with a small bottle of homemade spiced brandy. The bed and room were quite comfortable - we slept quite. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel (Venus restaurant) was fully packed with French and Italian daytrippers who had come by bus in the morning. Surprisingly few people were booked at the quaint, comfortable hotel. By early evening the daytrippers left, transforming the restaurant into a quiet, romantic place for dinner. As there are only two restaurants in the vincinity we chose to eat at Venus for every meal. The menu was changed every few days to offer new variety - from Greek specialties like grilled octopus and fava to Italian pasta dishes. Every meal was delicious with gorgeous views of the crystalline blue waters of Manganari beach. (We particularly enjoyed the fabulous breakfast spread of local cheeses, jams, Greek specialties and French crepes/croissants). When server, Alex discovered that my husband spoke Russian they became quite chatty. Alex filled us with insights to the island locals. The owner's brother, Ilias gave us a ride back to port when we checked out, telling us of local legends and traditions along the drive. Ilias stopped en route at a local history museum and gave us a free tour. All in all, our stay at Venus rooms in Manganari beach was the most relaxing few days of our entire trip! We look forward to returning.

United KingdomLoved everything.
I really enjoyed my holiday at Venus rooms. The room was clean and quiet - and the bed comfortable. The dining area, which is right on the beach, is beautifully designed - and the meals are exceptional - especially the lavish buffet breakfast. There are many beautiful beaches at your doorstep - and the owners and staff are all friendly, helpful and kind. Many thanks to all the team at Venus for such a relaxing few days. Highly recommended.
