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 reviewThe accommodation is great. It offers you the tranquillity of the countryside and at the same time a quick and convenient connection to the motorway network. The airport is also just a short drive away. You can park in front of the entrance. It's a quiet and peaceful place. The living space is beautiful. You have perfect privacy (which introverts like me and my girlfriend really appreciate). At the same time you can, if you want, be in close contact with the owner who is willing to help and advise you in everything. We are glad to have found this accommodation. We are happy to recommend it!
Everything was OK.
Very kind, friendly, communicative and respectful couple. The living space was left clean and tidy. They are always welcome back.

Verified reviewReally hard to find more caretaking host of your comfort. I mean seriously You can't. The apartment is almost overequipped. The place has its own soul with lovely trees inside and outside the house. There are three cats and one dog totally undisturbing your privacy, but happy to introduce themselves. It was really lovely stay that I can recommend to any couple who likes to see and expiriance new places. The localisation is Perfect to visit many: 25 minutes drive from Nicosia center, 30 from Larnaka, close to Lefkara and other historic villiges You have to visit, also close for some trekking trails. there is also really cheap gasstation nearby. Perfect base to travel across east half of the island.
the only bad thing was that we couldnt stay longer :)
It is difficult to write a review about guests that turn out to be more like family, and in the short time they stayed with me we were able to establish such a connection. Full marks to them and of course they are always welcome back :)

Verified reviewBaret our host was very lovely and had a wealth of information about the both the local area and Cyprus as a whole. Beautiful quiet location in non touristic Cypriot Village. Baret even gave us some of his delicious Baba Ganoush.
There was nothing not to like. The only negative is that we were sad to leave.
It was a pleasure meeting both of you and hosting you ! Hope you’ll look me up whenever you’re back in Cyprus. All the best Baret

Verified reviewBaret is a super nice guy. The stay was perfect in this tradional house, as expected from the description. Accommodation was good, with plenty of books to read and very clean. Where do you find such in the middle of the village !!
For me no problem at all and it makes the accommodation very special !! , but maybe for others: the bath- and bedroom are upstairs.
It was a real pleasure having you stay here. Sorry for asking too many questions but your work is very interesting 🧐 Hope to see you again 👍

Verified reviewIt was a good experience to stay at the old authentic Cypriot house. Everything was clean and comfortable, kitchen have all the required equipment for a few days' stay there. It's a good location to stay in case you are interested to visit Nicosia by car, close enough. The house owner was friendly and helpful.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Cyprus just as much !
