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 StatesLocation: up the hill about a couple of miles from the main coastal road - the way is an unlit, one lane, windy path with several spots with big pot holes and gravel. It can be dicey! especially if a car is coming in the opposite direction. The location and road to and back is NOT a deal breaker - just be aware! The good news is that it’s only a 10 min drive to Turkish Steps/beaches and about 30 min drive to Valley of Temples.
Staff, room, amenities and breakfast - all 5 stars.

A beautiful place, which looks like a tiny village with its garden of olive trees and the terrace sorrounded by stone walls

United StatesHaving to leave so quickly.
We only had one night here and wished we had more time. A beautiful and serene location out in the country a short drive from the Valley of the Temples. The buildings and our room were all beautiful with magnificent stonework. Our dinner here was one of the best meals of our vacation. The hosts were charming and I expect that all the work they put into creating this lovely place was a labor of love.

United KingdomPerhaps the hosts could consider a half board rate. The room with dinner/drinks on top felt expensive.
Beautifully-designed rural hotel with charming hosts, nice pool, and fantastic breakfast. Food is brought in daily for the dinner menu which is simple and largely fish-based. They do check on allergies/dietary limitations in advance and can make accommodations for which I was grateful. Convenient for local sights like the Valley of the Temples.

The most peaceful location and beautiful hotel, lovingly restored and decorated. The bed was super comfy, the pool deliciously cool and we had a wonderful dinner on the terrace under the stars. Breakfast the next morning was varied and of excellent quality. The best hotel we’ve stayed in during our Sicily tour. Grazie mille

United KingdomThe 'smart' TV was quite difficult to tune... but that is all.
Very good breakfast -- we were the only guests that day and they laid out the full breakfast buffet for us. Lovely staff, particularly the owner Dominico and his wife, Mara... and Mark, a friendly half-Irish, English-speaking member of staff who we really liked (although we do speak Italian). The style and design of the place is well-thought-out with a great deal of care and love... my wife liked the pool area and there are some great touches, such as the rows of cacti in large pots and the swinging sofa under the olive trees. Highly recommended.

United StatesI would recommend booking early. Our room was a good size and very comfortable, but the windows were right on the courtyard, so less private then others. If I had reserved earlier, we would have had more options.
This is an ancient inn in the country, lovingly restored by the owners. It is surrounded by fields and olive trees (and some solar panels) and cooled by the breeze off the ocean. The charming courtyard is the heart of the stone structure, a good place for breakfast, an aperitif and conversation and I imagine dinner, too, on warm nights. Kitties sleep in the sun and don't seem to bother the birds that fill the air with their song (and even keep a nest in the reception area). The indoor dining and living room is very attractive, modern yet cozy. Behind the hotel is the inviting swimming pool. Dinners were a highlight - we enjoyed two excellent meals served by the very friendly, helpful staff, Angelo and Marc. The owners are very generous with their time and are personally interested in your enjoying their hotel. The Borgo is close to the Valley of the Temples and a number of great beaches.
