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.).

United KingdomCan't think of any downsides - if you don't want the walk into town then it is at the furthest end of the harbour, but that suited us as it was closer to the beach.
Villa Galanis is in the perfect location for anyone who wants a morning dip in the main town's closest beach. I started every day in the sea - just a few minutes' walk from the house. And then everything you want is only a brief stroll away. Loved the hospitality too - Tina could not do enough to make our stay perfect.

If you've never been to Symi - you probably should visit if only to experience a quite unique harbour side location and vista. Villa Galanis is situated in a fantastic position with a stunning view of the town and harbour. The villa has 3 rooms that share a terrace at the front of the property. We stayed in the slightly smaller middle room and loved it. Tina & Dave were exceptional hosts, going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. We really can't say enough about the superb way they look after their guests.

FranceThe outside area is quite small and is shared with the residents of the other two rooms. In the morning the next door restaurant who uses the adjoining room is active very early so breakfast can be at bit noisy.
The location is perfect, on the seafront but away from the very busy port of Symi. Great restaurant next door.

AustraliaWe loved our 5 night stay at Villa Galanis. Long before our arrival, Tina shared restaurant recommendations and taxi suggestions. Once we arrived, all our choices had been booked and put in place, making our visit so much more relaxing. Our room was sparkling clean, well set up, and blissfully quiet. Sitting out on the deck for an evening drink with the delivered ice cubes was always a lovely end of day. We enjoyed the privacy the deck afforded us, along with the opportunity to chat with guests from the other two rooms. Be assured Tina will do anything in her power to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Villa Galanis is in such a wonderful location, 1-2 mins walk from the local beach and on the quieter side of the port. It’s a beautiful spot, away from the day tourists and near some lovely waterside restaurants and bars. Tina, David and Pandora are the perfect hosts, welcoming visitors with wide open arms and supplying plenty of suggestions to make your stay special, from the best beaches, boat trips, island visits to restaurants with panoramic views. Tina was always on hand when my needed and worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed. Pandora kept our room absolutely spotless and David wowed us with his amazing stories and great sense of humour. The children loved getting to know the cats and would have loved to adopt their gorgeous dog, Ziggy. All this in a picture-perfect island; we couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday, many thanks!

FranceWe spent almost a week at Tina’s and David’s. It is not the kind of place where you get your key and … that’s it. Tina really wants you to enjoy your stay. She will repeatedly ask you if you are fine or need anything. One of us had a health problem. Tina promptly organised things so we could see a doctor at the health center in Horio. Rooms are kept perfectly clean by the lovely Pandora. Bottles of water as well as capsules for the Illy coffee machine are provided every day. Just excellent. Would definitely stay there again when visiting Symi.
