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 reviewLovely quiet location, very pleasant accomodation. lovely garden room, excellent a/c. Hosts very helpful with additional items such as iron, and also arranging transport to neighbouring village. Lovely pool and associated area overlooking the mountains
Tiny improvements really-An additional converter plug for EU appliances (Uk sockets) in kitchen would help. A pedestal or ceiling fan in the garden room as it gets very hot. Video directions were good but didn't make it clear how to get to start of directions ie fork left at town square-a map like those in the accommodation would help in advance. Current road closures also made directions confusing-took us a while to figure out our way around the town to avoid those. Somewhat flakey wifi will be much improved when the new fibre is fully up and running,

Verified reviewWe were hoping to find some peace and solitude in Cyprus, despite the fact that we are traveling here in high season. Archondia house was absolutely perfect. Located in a small quaint village, we have never visited such a tranquil location. Sitting by the pool and experiencing the silence of no traffic, no annoying music or loud tourists, was a slice of heaven. The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our family. Lots of space. Thick stone walls so it was cool (despite the sweltering heat) and we barely used the air con provided. Pool was small but lovely and never crowded. Village has a gorgeous tavern a few mins walk away, and a local store to buy supplies. Location is 15 minutes drive to several amazing and quiet beaches, and 30 mins to the big cities for when we wanted a bit of action. The hosts were amazing. They popped in a couple of times to check on us, and gave of loads of amazing advice. We felt more like friends than paying guests.
Would have liked to have salt and pepper and oil in the room. Other than that, it was perfect.

3 flights of stairs without handrails to get to apartment which we were told was ground floor opening onto a pool. As we both over 80 Totally unsuitable but no detail on booking .com or other sites to say unsuitable for disability. Could not stay there and would request some refund of payment with no stay.

Verified reviewThe keys were on the door when we arrived Apartments are very close to the village's square; in general it is a very small but beautiful village The hostess was very friendly Nice swimming pool on top of the 4 apartments Many kitchen facilities; you can easily cook for breakfast, lunch, dinner Beautiful small veranda outside the One-bedroom apartment where we stayed and spent some time when eating (not so private though as it is very close to the street and exactly next to the apartment No.2)
They should be a bit more careful when cleaning the bathroom/toilet as well as the whole apartment. They should mop more!
Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your kind words about our property and amenities. We want to assure you that we take cleanliness very seriously and always strive to maintain high standards. However, due to the nature of our building, which features beautiful old wood ceilings and stone floors, some dust may naturally settle. We do thoroughly mop and clean every time, but the stone floors may not always appear 100% shiny, which is characteristic of the material. We will continue to do our best to ensure a clean and comfortable stay for all our guests.

Verified reviewA very nice apartment with a soul in the rustic village of Kalavasos. Inside a historic house, but nicely renovated to meet all the modern needs. Free pool available for all the quests. Spacious and well equipped. Free parking available if you have a car. Walking distance to the village square where all the restaurants and stores are located. Strongly recommend for short or long stays. Easy access by car to Limassol and Larnaca, but also to Mount Olympos.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our apartment and appreciated the blend of historic charm with modern amenities. We're glad you found the apartment spacious, well-equipped, and conveniently located within walking distance to the village square. It's also great to know that you took advantage of the free pool and parking, as well as the easy access to Limassol, Larnaca, and Mount Olympos. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another short or long stay in the future! Warm regards,

Verified reviewEasy. They key was on the door so anybody could go inside
The house was very dirty and there were dead cockroaches. We texted the owner that said somebody was on their way to clean. That person never arrived Outside the room there was a small storage room in which we found out there was a little kitten and many dirty staff. No tv and not functional to stay in for more than one day. No equipment given. They just left one toilet paper for a theee day stay of two persons. Cheap The shower drain was maybe never cleaned so the water overflowed every time and we didn’t even have any equipment to clean it. The pool was cleaned by guests because it was dirty. Also because of the location there is no possibility to enjoy the Sun since it disappeared in the evening.
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. We want to assure you that all the concerns raised have been addressed. This season, the entire village faced issues with cockroaches due to canalization problems. We are working diligently to resolve this matter. We try not to use too many chemicals which are dangerous to humans, but we need to increase our pest control policy from now. We appreciate your understanding and patience. Regarding the specific issues with your accommodation: Cleanliness: We regret that the house was not in an acceptable condition and that there were dead cockroaches. The cleaner's delay was unacceptable, and we have taken measures to ensure this does not happen again. Storage Room: We have cleared the storage room and addressed the presence of the kitten and the cleanliness issues. Amenities: We apologize for the lack of a TV, but as mentioned in our description we do not offer those anywhere, insufficient toilet paper is a mistake by our cleaners. Shower Drain: The shower drain has been thoroughly cleaned to prevent overflow issues. Pool Maintenance: We have implemented a more rigorous cleaning schedule for the pool to ensure it remains clean and inviting for all guests. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve our services. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further concerns.

Verified reviewThe facilities, the kitchen, bathroom and showers, fridge and toaster. Big beds and nice cushions. All very modern. The living room had big windows and in the morning we enjoyed the sun on our breakfast table - where could sit with our friends - 6 persons. What we missed is a coffee making facility.
All fine - in the village, great views. It was cold but this is the problem of the climate, not of the property. We had a great time. Even the wifi worked excellent.
