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.).

Czech RepublicMaybe it would be ok to give one small towel for hands and one for food when you go out of the shower.
Very nice apartment in quite part of Corfu. Situation is a bit far from the bus station, but it was even better for us because we like to walk. Apartment has everything what we needed. Hosts are vey friendly and were ready to help 🙂

ItalyI would suggest adding more pans and definitely a microwave.
Beautiful pool and location, literally 50 metres away from the beach. Perfect if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. The apartment is good, I would just suggest adding a microwave. The owners are super kind and helped us with a little problem with the stove. They came right away and fixed it. Also I could stay in the apartment until 4.30 pm without extra charge as I was travelling with a baby and our flight was in the evening. I would love to come back!

United KingdomNot possible to improve proximity to busy duel carriageway that had to be crossed to get the bus to Corfu Town or (very good) supermarket. Traffic lights at our end were broken so highly unpleasant 10 min trek long narrow pavement necessary to next set and 10 mins back to supermarket - repeated once shopping done!
Typical Greek property, good sized apt, amazing swimming pool set in beautiful gardens, lovely views, near beach, exptremely pleasant helpful proprietors.

FranceIt would have been helpful to have the opening hours of the pool bar posted (or consistently followed). We originally understood it was open every day from 9am - 8pm, but it was rainy a couple of days & it seems like they just decided not to open… It was hard to find staff to talk to in person, but I guess we could have tried on the Booking.com messaging system sooner.
Amazing pool & fabulous pool bar/café (when it was open). The room was comfortable & everyone was very friendly. Easy walking distance to a nice little beach & several different restaurants plus a small market. We had a very relaxing stay.

NorwayThe wifi could have been better. The beds are a bit hard but we think they are hard allover Greece so no different to other places we have stayed in Greece.
Beautiful pool and gardenarea. they played mellow loungemusic instead of eurodisco which was really nice for a change. The food and drinks were nice. we tried most of the food on the menu and can not complain on anything. Nice people who run the place.

We stayed here for 2 nights at short notice due to my wife going to hospital and being unable to fly. Location was perfect in regards to hospital and airport. This is a family run apartment property and were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and had everything you required for self catering plus they had their own snack / pool bar. The pool area is lovely and I would happily stay there again in the future.

United KingdomShower was so small the shower curtain clung to you - but water pressure was good.
Lovely family-run complex. Giannis does everything he can to make your stay enjoyable and to advise on local activities. He even found a mattress topper when my son found his bed a little too hard. Apartment a bit dated but for the price was very comfortable. Wonderful, huge pool at complex with new, comfy sun loungers and bar attached for drinks, snacks and breakfast. Nice garden. Unspoilt, uncommercialised part of Corfu. Lovely little beach with restaurant and sun beds just minutes away and there are water activities at the Kontokali Bay hotel just down the beach. Gouvia marina with restaurants about 20 mins walk (apartments look out over water to marina in distance). Also a fish restaurant very close, but the restaurant we loved most was the grill at the top of the road next to the small grocery shop round the corner from the bus stop. Lovely, very reasonable food. The apartment is 20-15 mins walk from a supermarket and the bus stop. Regular buses into nearby Corfu Town (blue bus no 7), which is well worth visiting. Tickets from driver but much cheaper to get them from bus station kiosk in Corfu Town (book of 10 even cheaper). Green buses also leave for Palaiokastritsa beach on the other side of the island and for Kassiopi (buy tickets on bus). We got to the apartment easily from the airport by bus (change in Corfu Town). We also visited Aqualand, which was about 20 mins by taxi (arranged by Giannis), although you can also do it with 2 buses. Gerekos Island is not for people who want night life and glitz and action, but we loved it. A big thank you to Giannis, his mum and sister for such a relaxing stay

United KingdomIt took about 10 minutes to walk to the nearest shop, 15-20 minutes into Kontokali and 40 minutes to Gouvia. This wasn’t an issue for us at all (and it made the apartment nice and peaceful), but it’s something to note if anyone struggles with mobility.
The apartments are in a lovely quiet location, a few minutes walk to a small sandy beach with a lovely beach bar/restaurant and clear water. The staff were very friendly and helpful, staying up late to accommodate our late check in and allowing us to check out whenever was convenient. The pool on site is surrounded by sun beds and is a great deep pool for swimming. There is a snack bar on site which serves drinks, breakfast and food throughout the day. It was about a 15 minute walk into Kontokali where there are a number of restaurants, it took about 40 minutes to walk from the apartment to the strip in Gouvia (although we preferred Kontokali!). The apartment was in need of a touch of modernisation, but it was clean and comfy and for the price we had absolutely no complaints, we will definitely stay again if we come back to Corfu!

United KingdomFriendly host family, provided good options for breakfast and evening drinks at their new snack bar. Large, deep pool with nice garden surroundings. Very relaxed feel to the place, was ideal for our last night in Corfu. Beach with good taverna just a few mins walk away, plus another taverna 100m in other direction overlooking boats etc. Apartment was clean and comfortable with balcony overlooking the pool. The host seemed to be very helpful recommending places to visit by vehicle to other guests who were staying longer than us, so seems like could be a good base for a longer stay. Very much enjoyed swimming in the large, peaceful pool.
