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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. The bathroom space was small, but this was not an issue for us.
This was an ideal home away from home, with everything we needed for our four night stay. There was excellent communication from the host before, during and after our stay. We found the property easily from the Metro station and we appreciated the various treats that were waiting for us when we arrived. We chose to use the lift rather than take the stairs to the 6th floor. Lots of storage space; a well equipped kitchen; comfy beds; and spaces to relax. We were well positioned for all of the areas we wanted to explore, and were received lots of great recommendations from the owner. It was lovely to be able to sit out on the balcony to hear the sounds of central Athens and I'll never get over the wonderful view of the Acropolis from the master bedroom! Thank you.

AustraliaWhat a great apartment right in the heart of where you need to be as a tourist! We absolutely loved this place. 2 super comfortable beds, spacious kitchen, lounge & terrace. The bathroom is old town charming. Shopping, tourist attractions, laundry, restaurants are all at your feet. Bedroom window view of the Parthenon are spectacular. The host is AAA+++ & provides so many extras to make your stay feel special. Clear instructions, welcome cakes and drinks. Shampoos/amenities. We were provided everything we needed - without needing to ask!!! They were just there!! Thank you Filippos. Would love to come back one day.

United StatesHot water was scalding! Took a few minutes to get the temp just right.
The views from the master bedroom were amazing. Unreal to fall asleep and wake up looking at the Acropolis. Plenty of room for us 3, but could comfortably accommodate more. Master bedroom had a queen bed and there was a king bed tastefully tucked away in the main social area. Kitchen was large enough to prepare meals, although we ate local most days. Patio was perfect for an afternoon nap. Apartment was walking distance to many major attractions. The property manager was super helpful and provided suggestions for things to do and places to go. Neighborhood felt safe and there was paid parking for our rental car just down the street. A lift made transferring luggage easy.

Perfect location, very near all the sights but in a quiet street. Fabulous view of the Parthenon and the Acropolis slopes from the bedroom. Comfortable beds, nice big terrace, comfortable lounge. Filippos was a good host, communicated well, made sure we had everything we needed. He left us tea, coffee, cake, wine, a few cans of drink. He had compiled some suggestions about places to go, to eat, to drink etc. He also checked in on us (via WhatsApp) part way through our 6 day stay to see if we required anything more. Highly recommend

United StatesVery nice apartment in great location. Quiet residence yet only a block away from numerous streets with stores, coffee shops, restaurants and bars. Started out using taxis but metro stops were a handful of blocks away so started using the light rail which provides easy access to port and airport. Acropolis is 25 - 45 minute walk (depending on pace up the hill itself) and is indeed viewable right out the bedroom window. Host provided welcome treat, coffee, soda, water and restaurant recommendations. Very clean and up to date. Great spot to use as base to explore Athens. Would absolutely return and do highly recommend.

IrelandThat we couldn’t stay longer!
We were warmly greeted by Felicia when we arrived who showed us around the apartment and made sure we knew where everything was….we felt like family being welcomed home by Felicia! Filippos contacted us every day making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Such a kind, caring, helpful person! The apartment was absolutely lovely with special treats when we arrived…..couldn’t have asked for anything more. The beds were so comfy and the apartment was absolutely spotless! The view of the Acropolis from the apartment was spectacular! We would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Athens. It is the perfect location to everything in the City and very near public transportation! We would not consider staying anywhere else on our return to Athens! Thank you so much, Filippos, for such a lovely stay!

QatarOur stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of delightful! The space was cozy and felt just like home, equipped with all the basic necessities to make our stay comfortable. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and a picturesque view that we enjoyed each day. What made the experience extra special were the thoughtful touches from Phillip, our host. He welcomed us with freshly baked goods and a selection of drinks, making us feel truly cared for from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a warm, relaxing getaway with a personal touch, this is the perfect spot!

United KingdomThere was nothing to complain about.
It was a lovely and comfortable apartment in a great location just enough outside of the tourist centre for it to feel like a peaceful retreat. Filippo met us upon arrival and departure - he was so helpful in orientating us to the apartment and to Athens on the map. He ensured we had everything we needed during our 4 day stay. It was also exciting that we got our first view of the Acropolis when we arrived in the apartment. There are great restaurants within a few minutes walk and easy walking to all the major sites. We would stay there again.

CanadaView from balcony was nothing great. Dilapidated, church owned building, across the street was a neighborhood eyesore, but local historic regulations apparently make it too expensive to renovate or remove. Once this was understood, it was no big deal.
Beautiful, totally renovated and fully equipped, unit, located was very close to Plaka. Huge number of restaurants and shops very nearby. Modest walk to most historic sites. Exceptional view of Acropolis from bedroom. Unit was very secure. Owner met us for check-in and check-out and helped with the luggage. Wonderful little extras like cake, various soft drinks, beer, wine and Mastiha (great stuff)
