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 villa was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The air-conditioned rooms made it cozy and relaxing, even during cooler evenings (we stayed during December). The kitchen was fully equipped and perfect for us to prepare meals. The location was fantastic — not even 5 mins walk to the promenade for a scenic walk by the sea (very easy to also walk up to the Paralimni harbour). Very nice back yard with a wooden pavilion for extra shade, lovely small olive trees and palm trees around the pool. Our host was extremely helpful, responsive, and ensured a smooth check-in process, which made our stay even more enjoyable and stress free.
Somewhat enhancing the cleaning supplies for us - maybe having a broom or mop on hand would help.
Dear Suzanne, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 🌟 We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, found the villa cozy, comfortable, and appreciated both the location and the outdoor space. It’s especially great to know that you had a smooth and stress-free experience with our team — that’s exactly what we aim for! We would like to kindly mention that a broom and mop are available for guests and can be found in the storage room located in the backyard. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime! 🌿✨ Kind regards, STAY team

Verified reviewPool very nice and shaded area very appreciated. Plenty of seating. Good air conditioning. Close to ameneties. Good communication, check in procedure and contact during stay.
Poorly equipped in terms of kitchen equipment - basic items like sink plug, measuring jugs, oven gloves were missing. Only one tea towel, no washing up bowl or some dishwasher tablets. No outdoor towels for pool. Villa generally seen better days, ceiling fans not working. Door handle was broken to main bedroom. Outdoor cushions for seating quite soiled. Photos omitted the huge unfinished apartment block directly over the pool area.

We also appreciate your positive comments about our communication and check-in procedure. We would like to clarify that we are a self-catering accommodation, meaning we only provide starter supplies. We do not supply ongoing cleaning or other products. Pool towels are available upon request and for an additional cost. Regarding the maintenance issues, we regret that you declined our offer to send maintenance promptly to address them. Please rest assured that we will promptly fix these minor issues for the convenience of future guests.

Verified reviewThis was a last minute booking and everything went smoothly even though the company STAY who is in charge of the property required additional signatures of their contracts in their (not very user friendly) system and a safety deposit of 250 eur - this is mentioned in the description but I haven’t noticed it. Communication via whatsapp was ok. The house itself is spacious and clean and the pool very much appreciated by our kids. It’s located a few minutes walk from a smaller beach, supermarket and restaurants, lots of beautiful beaches, trails and sights easily accessible by car.
What I consider standard in self catering properties like this one is a basic set of cleaning supplies including a broom and a mop (there was one very old and dirty in the yard) and a handful of dishwasher tablets. A floor mat where you can dry your feet before entering the house from the pool. These items would cost you 20-30 eur for the while summer and would dramatically improve my customer experience. You had me sign an extensive list of dos and don’ts so reciprocally I would expect a list of things that were broken before my arrival so that I am not stressed you would deduct these from my deposit.
Dear Jana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that your last-minute booking went smoothly and that you enjoyed the spacious and clean house, as well as the pool, which was appreciated by your kids. Your input helps us understand areas where we can enhance our guests' experiences, and we will certainly consider your suggestions for future improvements. Regarding the additional signatures required and the safety deposit, it's important to mention that as a self-catering establishment, we clearly state the requirement for a refundable damage deposit on booking.com prior to your booking. This deposit is essential for safeguarding our property and ensuring high standards for all future guests. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future. Warm regards, STAY Team

Verified reviewFantastic villa, spacious and clean, beautiful pool. Lovely outside area, really enjoyed sitting outside at night time with the lights around the pool. Air conditioning was perfect and much needed in August! Big C supermarket just a minute walk away has everything you need and there are great bars and restaurants right on your doorstep too so no car needed. The gorgeous beach is a 5 minute straight stroll down the road. Staff are so helpful and very easy to contact.
I loved everything!
Dear Deborah, We're thrilled to receive such a glowing review from you! It's wonderful to hear that you had a fantastic experience at our villa. We're glad you appreciated the spaciousness, cleanliness, and the beautiful pool. The ambiance created by the pool lights in the evening sounds delightful. We're also pleased that the air conditioning provided the comfort you needed during the warm August weather. Our location's proximity to the Big C supermarket, bars, restaurants, and the beach truly seems to have added to your convenience and enjoyment. Thank you for your kind words about our staff. We strive to provide helpful and accessible service to our guests, and we're glad to know you found it to be the case. It's truly heartwarming to hear that you loved everything about your stay.

Verified reviewPositives I was recommended this villa by a friend who stayed last year and I must say our short stay was fantastic! I stayed at villa Anemone with my wife and our two children. The villa is clean, spacious, has fast internet, all the appliances, furniture and ambience you need for a perfect summer stay. The swimming pool was very clean and surrounded by small cute plants / olive trees. Good working A/Cs. Overall it gave us a feeling of a “happy” beach house:) There's a cosy wooden pergola outside next to the pool where it's nice to sit especially in the evenings, being surrounded by the garden lights around the wooden fence but also inside the pool. Finally - the location is a huge plus. You are literally 5 mins walk to the sea. Every evening we went for a stroll along the promenade - its quite long and runs along the coast of Protaras, giving us the opportunity to experience beautiful sunsets and discover lovely restaurants and small cute bays.
No real downsides to be honest - the only thing people should note is that its necessary to rent a car if you want to make the most of your vacation here. Although the villa is 5 mins walk (by foot) to the nearest beach, there are other (even nicer) beaches and small bays in the wider Protaras/Ayia Napa area. Given the Cypriot summer heat during the day, I strongly recommend renting a car to get there.
Dear Iannou, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Villa Anemone! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the cleanliness, spaciousness, and amenities our villa has to offer. It warms our hearts to know that the swimming pool and outdoor space added to the charm of your stay. Your recommendation of renting a car to explore the beautiful beaches and bays in the area is valuable advice for future guests. We appreciate your kind words, and it would be our pleasure to welcome you back for another fantastic stay in the future. Best regards, STAY Short Lets Team

Verified reviewOnly the pics on booking!!! In the reality the house is not maintained And there are building construction works exactly next to the back yard with the swimming pool.
After making the reservation the only thing that the owner sent was that the trees were moved because of some construction works (the message is attached). But in reality we found construction building exactly closed to the back yard. We chose this house and payed high price because we were looking for house with the swimming pool, nice back yard, clean and silent!! Constructing work started every morning before 7 a.m with terrible noise and dust everywere! It was not possible to use the swimming pool and even dangerous to be in the back yard because the workers were throuing huge stones from the windows of the reconstructed building. The house is located in 20 min by car!!! from the center of Aya Napa. Inside the house many things were not working or were broken or missing. The kettle was not hermetical and the electricity was shorted out. It was almost impossible to flush toilet or to have shower, because it was weak water flow. There weren't blankets and it was cold in the night. The beds were terrible!!! I was very disappointed and wrote to the owner and asked to return at least part of the amount that was paid. The answer was that they let us know about the construction works and its our priblem. And if the condition of the house is not acceptable for us we have to leave the house in half an hour!!!!!! ( the message is attached) And only then they will give me back the money for the rest of the days! I was with 3 small kids and out of the house at the moment they wrote us, so It was not any option to leave in half an hour! The only thing that they did, they brought new kettle and blankets. I feel that I was really cheated and my vacation was destroyed!!!! I never write bad reports, but this time I feel that I have to write to help other people not to be cheated!!!
Dear Olga, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We really appreciate your efforts on doing so. But let me tell our part of the story and let our future clients decide on their own if they would like to book this villa or not (your intentions are clear). Firstly I will start by saying that we are a management company that have the highest score on booking.com in Cyprus and we have awards by booking.com and other platforms for our hospitality (please check our company score on booking.com). Secondly it was written on the description that the neighbours are making construction works and that the trees are removed. Just after you booked a message was sent to you as well about the missing trees BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION WORKS. (The construction works are finished on 20 April 2023). You didn’t respond. You arrived at night when the works had been finished and in the morning you informed us that there are works going on at the neighbour. With our good will we told you that you can check out and we will refund you the whole amount except the night that you stayed. You told us you can’t leave at 15:00. We then told you is ok to check out at night if you want with no extra charge (we have all the messages that prove our words). You didn’t accept and you asked for a full refund instead and stay in the property for the whole of your reservation for free otherwise you will write a bad review(our company is against blackmail of any kind). As you understand this is not acceptable. We explained that we gave you a Villa in this area at a really cheap price 70 euro per night and that we will only refund you if you check out the time that is best for you. The tone that you use to represent our responds is wrong and as you explained because we didn’t refund you for the whole reservation you will write a bad review so that we will not have more guests. This is wrong in my perception. Furthermore the house does not have maintenance issues and I am really sad to say that this is a lie. You didn’t have blankets and we did inform you that they were taken to the laundry and will bring them to you after they will dry. Indeed the kettle was not working and we brought you a brand new one the next day. I am really happy that we have a lot of other reviews that prove the quality and service that guests receive in this villa. I wish you all the best and take care 😊 Kind regards, Mike
