How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOur family and friends booked both houses. The location is situated right on the main square of Pano Arodes village, creating an amazing experience. The houses are equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a barbecue. Akamantida Platea is the perfect choice if you want to explore various nature trails and wineries in the Paphos region of Cyprus.
No dishwasher.

Verified reviewThe location of the place is remote, calm and authentic. You have good restaurants in the villages close by. The place itself has a fine terrace with a natural shade from the grapes. The host offered us to stay a few hours longer, as there were no bookings after.
The host was super controlling and passive-aggressive sometimes. She didn't inform us about the location of the key till the moment we arrived at the door and waited till she replied. She shared the location of the place only when we were already approaching the place. Be careful, as Google Maps shows you the pass through the tiny streets where not every car can pass. There is a much easier pass through the centre of the village. To our surprise, we also were not staying in the place we booked. She assigned us to the Akamantida Platea 2, the back of the same house. When we asked her about it, she said that she listed several places under the same account in the booking, which is quite misleading. She refused to locate it in the reserved spot. On the key you have an attached magnet, which is not removable, this magnet is the only thing which activates electricity ( lights, ventilators, fridge, freezer). We were travelling with our dog and with the heat wave we needed to have at least a ventilator running during the day, which was not possible in this case, so we had to keep the door unlocked. There is no conditioner and windows on one side of the house are blocked by metallic shelves, so the air is super hot even with opened windows during the night. You pay by cash to the person who is coming to pick it up, no receipt is provided. The parking is on the street, but as soon as we arrived and were putting out the begs, the neighbour came to us and told us that we couldn't park there. He was often coming to us when we were arriving and looking at what we were doing.
I thank the guest for having found a few positive words about the village, the restaurants, the terrace, and my offer to make a late checkout if they wanted. My behavior is never aggressive towards my guests. I sent the link to the house when they were approaching so that they would find the exact place. I even sent a photo of the spot where they would find the key. The route to the village, I am sure everybody can find it on Google. And it's not my fault if Google takes people from another way, which has narrow streets. The choice of Akamantida Platea 2 was their's, and I urged them if I they had any doubt to consult with Booking.com. The magnet on the key has a purpose. To prevent people from detaching the key and leave the house with lights and fans on. The fridge is exempted. The main door opens only if somebody has the key, so there is no need to be locked during the night. The part where windows are blocked by metallic shelves, I didn't understand. The windows can open widely, and all guests comment that when they are open, they don't need even the ventilators. Payment in cash was noted to them before their arrival. If they wanted a receipt, they had only to ask for it. I would have sent it by email. The parking is on the street, so we can not control what neighbors do. My place has never been reviewed less than "9" in the past 8 years, which exists as a lodging. Neither has my approach towards my guests, and certainly nobody complained that I am aggressive!!!!
