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.).

IsraelConvenient location but not perfect. Also, everything is good, but relative to a hotel of this level and according to the pricing, no unique added value is felt.

AustraliaMy request was not taking into account. When I did my booking through Booking.com I requested a room with a view . However was not provided with this and my view was on the side looking at the rubbish bins .
The room was very comfortable

United KingdomBooked for 2 nights but due to ferries going on strike we had to limit our visit to just one night. Unfortunately Booking.com would not reimburse us for our wasted 2nd night.
Upgraded at check-in to a sea front room. Hotel is very clean and comfortable. Excellent location , just 5 mins drive to ferry.

GreeceThe only drawback was the lack of a big balcony, where we could add two chairs to sit and see the sea. If the room was offering that, then it would have been a 10/10 stay.
For people traveling by car, the location is great. The hotel owns multiple parking spots, outside the premises, and the guests can park their car there free of charge. Then all you need is to enjoy walking by the sea, since the city of Volos offers that. Our son with his scooter on the pavement for 5 mins, until reaching the pedestrian zone which is really huge. The room was comfy and the beds too. As far as the breakfast, it was everything we expected from a 4-star hotel. A big thanks to the staff of the hotel, which was really polite and helped us with every request we made.

GreeceI found standing in a bath to shower very unsafe. I have polyneuropathy and little feeling in my feet. I also had nothing to hang on to. I asked if there were any rooms with shower trays and told no. So: despite staying at Volos Palace at least once a year and finding it great, I cannot risk it again.
The staff, as usual, were very friendly. The breakfast is excellent.

United KingdomNothing at all to dislike.
This is a very good hotel in an excellent location. We arrived a little early, our room wasn’t ready, but we were immediately given an upgrade to a suite which was excellent in every respect. Very nice staff, good buffet breakfast, free parking outside (at least in March) - all in all, a totally good stay (alas only for one night). I also want to say how impressed I was with the recovery process in Volos after last year’s storms disaster. We have known Volos since the mid-80s, and we were relieved and delighted to see how impressive and determined the people have been to get back on their feet. A few side streets still need to be finished in the centre, but everywhere else was looking very good indeed. In Pelion now, where recovery is still ongoing, but with an equal determination and resilience. Do not hesitate to visit this lovely region. It is already getting back to its best.

GreeceMe and my husband spent 3 nights on this beautiful hotel.. Centrally located, just a breath away from all hot spots downtown.. Breakfast provides local delicacies, more than an intercontinental buffet..so satisfied.. Loved our espresso shots-tea bags.. Absolutely clean and tidy Seaview room.. Highly recommended, hope we will be back soon!

GreeceAlthough the room was comfortable and large, I was disappointed with the condition of the carpet. As you walked in the first thing we noticed was how bad the condition of the carpet, it was very dirty with stains all over the carpet. It’s unfortunate that you have such a nice large room to be spoiled by the flooring.
Large room with good size bathroom, great location close to port, restaurants and cafes

United KingdomThe position of the shower in the bath tub was in the wrong position, in my opinion.
The breakfast was very adequate, the room was of a reasonable size and contained all necessary items (except an iron) and we had a good view of the harbour and the see.
