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 reviewAbsolutely amazing. The host Eleni was the most receptive host I've ever encountered and any small issue was promptly addressed. Great facilities, outside shower brilliant for coming back from the beach. The pool area had ample seating with sun from 10 am-6 pm. Inside there are high-quality furnishings with the bonus of a large shower in the downstairs toilet. Bedrooms are on the small size...not a lot of room for suitcases but it didn't impact as we only had 1 kid in each room 😉. Ample parking outside. 10 mins walk to main strip and Fig Tree Beach, 2 mins to nearest beach and loads to choose from, while still in a lovely quiet area for relaxing at night. Pictures on site need updating as now beige with a Caribbean vibe rather than the key-west blue 😆
Nothing!
Dear Linda wow! such a unique and inspirational review! It honours me to have hosted your family and i’m really glad you enjoyed it so much! You are welcome back anytime! I promise to upload updated photos of the renovations made soon!

Verified reviewThe villa and host were absolutely amazing for our first little family holiday. The outside are with the pool and seating area were perfect for relaxing and entertaining the little one. Location was great and only a small stroll onto the Main Street with all the bars and restaurants. I can’t recommend this place enough

Verified reviewComfortable villa with all you need for a holiday stay, "home away from home". Secluded street, quiet location. Pool area is simply superb! Owner was very friendly and responsive, even if our communication was only thru watsapp.
TWIN bed in 1nd bedroom is more like "guest bed", rolling out from beneath the bunk bed. This is just something to note when planning your trip.
Dear Angelina thank you so much for your warm review! Yes the kids triple bank bed hosts the third bed on wheels to carry out. Anyway you can always use the double sofa in the living room that can sleep two kids also. Thanks a lot again! You are always welcome back!

Verified reviewVery well maintained villa, great kitchen with all the necessary equipment for cooking, great space outside next to the pool. Eleni the owner was very responsive and helpful.
The main thing was the payment. The down payment which she requested a couple of months before our arrival could not be payed by regular means like credit card or PayPal. When we arrived turned out Eleni expected a payment in cash. All in all with the additional credit we paid for bank transfer the payment was 60 euro more and a lot of energy. Just a point to take into consideration. One additional thing was the bedding. No blankets were available and for us a sheet to cover ourselves was a serious discomfort.
Dear Odette thank you for choosing Riverland and for a perfect cooperation throughout your stay! Payment methods indeed may vary and paying with visa or through Booking is optional. A swift transfer, Revolut and cash are also other methods that we use as we always mention ahead in our welcome message we sent you! It’s unfortunate you didn’t let me know that you couldnt find the blankets as all rooms have enough in the wardrobes for guests to use. I think they are more than 10! as we are very focused in guests comfort. We could have come to help you. Next time please let us know if you need anything! Best regards Eleni

Verified reviewWe spent 8 days in this villa in Protaras, in a quiet part of the village. Excellent location if you want to relax in a peaceful environment. The villa is spacious, equipped with everything you need during your stay (except for a microwave oven). We could comfortably accommodate 4 of us, we didn't even use one of the rooms. The pool area is fantastic, you will find a shady and sunny spot at any time of the day. The size of the pool is perfectly adequate. The beach (Fig tree beach) is a 15-minute walk away, as is the city center. If you have a rental car, everything is very quickly accessible. The host Eleni is very kind and flexible in everything, she answers requests and questions immediately. Definitely recommended place for a relaxing holiday in paradise.
Dear Andrea, Thank you for your kind and enthusiastic review. Hope to see you again! P.S. A microwave is added in the appliances! :)

Verified reviewThe pool area was a massive hit and our children spent a lot of the holiday in the pool! The kitchen area had a coffee pod machine/kettle/coffee granules machine, fridge/freezer, water cooler, washing machine and dishwasher so everything you need for a comfortable stay. Towels provided for each guest along with some shower gel and shampoo. The villa is nice and spacious in a beautiful area with a nice walk to Fig tree bay. Plenty of seating areas inside and outside to eat/chill out in the nice peaceful surroundings. Great communication with the host throughout the whole process and all queries answered promptly. We have really enjoyed our stay and will defo book again when we next come to the area.

Verified reviewWe stayed at the villa from 23 to 27 April as a family with two children (5 and 7 years old). Immediately we liked the fact that there is no intrusive staff. But at the same time, the manager Eleni is always in touch, any question can be solved quickly. The villa itself is excellent, very clean, has everything you need. The interior is very interesting, a lot of small interesting details in a nautical style! We are used to cooking our own food, there is everything for that. What can be better than a grill by the pool) Definitely rate the villa and rest on 10. Would love to go back!
Thank you dear Olessia for your kind review!! I am so glad your expectations were met and had a great time! You are always welcome!!🙏

Verified reviewThe location was lovely, set in a little cul de sac it was nice and quiet. The house was spacious and the beds very comfortable. We liked that there were 3 bathrooms. Eleni was very easy to talk to and checked in to see if everything was OK. We were very happy with the level of cleanliness too. We would definitely visit again.
Some information regarding the hot water in the evenings. We learned the hard way that the water would go cold when sun sets because it uses the solar panel to heat the water? Extra toilet rolls would be helpful, in England we would usually expect up to 3 toilet rolls per bathroom
Thank you so much for your warm review and comments! Water also heats with a heater switch! Sorry for that. I didn’t know early enough to assist. Next time! You are always welcome

Verified reviewTop notch communication with Ms Eleni from booking time till checkout. Awesome host, flexible with check-in/checkout times, friendly and immediately available. House was spotless when we arrived. I was impressed by how tastefully decorated it was inside out, with a summer vibe, nice paintings and a cozy atmosphere. Thoughtful to the smallest detail; cardboard of toys for the young ones, collection of books, tavli (backgammon) etc. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you may need and then some :) Same as with the rest of the house; towels/pool towels, shampoo/shower gel, BBQ (foukou) and convenient BBQ area next to the pool. Pool area is just awesome. Built stairs inside the pool kept my son occupied playing there. A nice touch was a couple of inflatable toys in the pool. Outside furniture well thought and plenty of space to relax with shadow. There was both A/C and light fan in the bedrooms which was convenient as I don't really like the A/Cs all night so the fan was a nice alternative. There are 3 toilets in the house all with shower/bath so this villa could easily accommodate more than one family. There is a shower outside by the pool area too.
A microwave would be handy. As we visited towards the end of September, weather was not ideal. it was nice and sunny till noon but very windy afterwards and not ideal to sit by the pool. However, there are plenty of things to do in Protaras/Ayia Napa especially if you have a car.
