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.).

We had an amazing stay at this apartment! Everything was spotless — so clean and well-maintained that it instantly felt like home. The space was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions or requests we had. He even offered us a free early check-in and late check-out, which made our arrival and departure so much easier. Highly recommended! We would definitely stay here again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Furniture were a bit dated and beds could be a little bit better, but definitely very good for the price class
Top-notch location, close to bus stops, beaches and quite calm. Nice, tidy apartment with 2 comfortable bedrooms, ideal for families! Easy check-in and out instructions. Very responsive and co-operative host!

Myself and my family had a lovely time at the Swahilil apartment. Apartment was very clean, with all that we needed for the week we stayed there. Facilites were perfect, Wifi in apartment, Tvs in each room which kept everyone happy when wanting to watch different things. Netflix, YouTube etc. 2 min walk from main road, with plenty of shops and Restaurants. 10 mins away from Protoras and 20 mins away from Aiya napa. 2 pools on the complex, all within 2 mins walk from Apartment. 5-10 minute walk to local beach, although beautiful was very busy so we drove out for beach. Honestly just a great place. Loucas, was extremely helpful with all instructions to access the apartment and also allowed a late checkout to support the dreaded UK travel times from Cyprus. We will most defo be back 😊

Slightly further away from Protarus main strip than expected but bus and taxi very reasonable but might not suit someone that wants on door step of the buzz
Appartment was great for all our needs clean spacious well equipped (thought toaster was temperamental) but washing machine and dishwasher were a good bonus. good size balcony and elevator was a godsend even only 1 floor it was a heatwave at the time. 2 min walk to small supermarket about 7 min walk to a bigger one both covered everything so no need to find a lidl etc. 1.5 euro on bus which went to Protarus Ayia Napa right to Larnaca 711 very good value. Lots of bars restaurants 5 min walk all very good reasonable priced never had a bad meal. Definitely recommend

It was a little confusing at first to find the place as a few separate blocks in the complex were under the same name. Maybe leave more detailed instructions how to find the flat beforehand. I called the host and he explained how to reach the flat. After that all was good.
A very quiet and safe estate with well kept grounds and facilities. The swimming pool with children’s pool was great. Will definitely return. The flat is well equipped and a good size. We didn’t use the hob and oven but all kitchen ware was there if you need it. Everything was great. The area as well. Not very busy but with anything you need within close reach. The host is also very helpful. Thank you.

To be honest, nothing was brilliant. We liked the location and apartment and will definitely be coming back soon. The host is very generous; he allowed us to check out late, free of charge
In fact, everything . The apartment provides everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The location is fairly quiet. Aya Napa and stores are nearby.We enjoyed the location and flat and plan to return soon. The host is quite generous; he allowed us to check out late for free.

The pool area we found it kind of small for the amount of the residents of the complex. We woke up everyday at 8:00 to find a place at the pool area which didn’t help us to relax.
The location of the apartment was amazing near to everything we wanted to do even in Protaras and Paralimni. The apartment was very comfortable for me and my friends. We had enough space for cooking and also dinning outside in our balcony.
