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 property is super close to the bus stop which was very convenient for me as I was not traveling with ATV/car around the island. The place is just outside of the very popular main town area which made it super quiet at night but you’re close enough to all the restaurants and shopping. Room was cleaned daily & staff were all super lovley. There is also an amazing bakery downstairs.

Verified reviewWonderful and friendly owners made this stay worthwhile on its own! Prime location to beautiful Plaka, easy to park rental ATV, clean and a yummy complimentary breakfast on top that. All in all - a true gem - not to be missed!
The A/C was a bit slow and could benefit from a clean.

Verified reviewThe staff was very kind, the location was perfect, and the free breakfast was a huge plus. The room was also very comfortable and quite spacious for two. It felt very clean and they had housekeeping everyday. I also loved the location - it was only a 5min walk from Plaka village. I definitely recommend renting a car, especially if staying in Plaka in order to visit the beaches throughout the island.

Verified reviewSuper clean and has everything you need. The staff are really helpful and attentive. Great location too and the bus stop is right around the corner which gets you to Adamas in 10 minutes.
I enjoyed the property, nothing I didn’t like.

Verified reviewLocation was 10/10, 15-20 minutes away from all beaches and 5 minute walk from Plaka. Has a big parking right next to it if you have a car and a bus stop too. Amazing breakfast and coffee. Hosts were so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend, we will be visiting again for sure! Such value for money!

Verified reviewThis is the perfect accomodation to stay in Milos. The position is very convenient as it's within walking distance to the plaka and close to the North beaches. The room is comfortable, well equipped with tea facilities, iron and a balcony to hang wet clothes . Breakfast is delicious as the owners run a bakery so we had high quality food. Last but not least all the staff are exceptionally kind and helpful: I had a problem with my phone and they spent a lot of time trying to make it work and at the end the managed to fix it! I definitely recommend this hotel

Verified reviewAll expectations were blown out of the water! An amazing place to stay, my partner and I had a very comfortable stay. The staff are incredibly friendly so accommodating and patient with us, (they even taught us some Greek words and phrases!). Our stay came with breakfast each day and we were very spoilt for choice. They are also a Cafe/Dessert Shop and their Chocolate Pie is a must try!!! The accommodation itself is a bus ride away from the main port. The bus literally stops right next to Arethousa. Walking distance from Plaka and an 8 minute drive to Sarakiniko Beach made it an optimal home base for our stay in Milos. Highly recommend and will definitely come again!!!

Verified reviewThe location was excellent — you can easily walk to the center of Plaka on foot. There are also supermarkets and mini markets nearby, which was very convenient. The apartment and the room were both suitable for two people. We especially liked that the family owns a bakery on the ground floor, so you can enjoy a coffee anytime you like.
We booked both a room for two and an apartment for two in ground floor. The room was clearly of a higher standard and much cleaner. A downside in both cases was that we stayed for four nights and the towels were never changed, which was disappointing. As for the room, there were no other negative comments — it was well maintained. However, the ground floor apartment needed much more attention in terms of cleanliness. There was mold under the bath mat in the shower, as well as on the shower curtain, which really needs to be replaced immediately. As a result, we had to shower while wearing slippers. Additionally, the toiletries in the bathroom were all half-used. When we opened the lower kitchen cupboards to get the coffee burner, we found spider webs and actual spiders inside. Also, the area with the second single bed — located in the the kitchen — does not have air conditioning, making it unsuitable during the hotter months. It’s hard to understand why the rooms on the first floor were so well kept while the ground floor apartment was not up to the same standard.

Verified reviewHad the nicest stay in Arethousa! The family owners were super friendly, warm and helpful. The cafe and pastries were delicious. Excellent location, only a few mins walk to the main town of Plaka and a short drive to nearby attractions. The room was clean, well equipped, the wifi was strong and had a lovely balcony.
No cons, great value for money

Verified reviewEverything was perfect at this place. The room was super clean, spacious with big balcony. Everyday cleaning, changing towels. Not to forget to say about the amazing scent that they use in the room and in the building. Adonis, the owner and his family make this place a great experience, being client oriented all the time and being able to fix anything for their customers. A perfect breakfast is served at their bakery shop, where you have good variety menu to choose from. And also other local homemade products that you can choose, especially the famous and the amazing chocolate pie with ice-cream that is truly FANTASTIC, and it’s a must to try. Also very good located close to main atractions.
Nothing to say, everything was perfect

Verified reviewWe had a fantastic stay at Arethousa Apartments. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Plaka, and the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay — he assisted with transfers, quad rental, and laundry service. Breakfast was included and tailored to our taste each morning, which made us feel truly cared for. Highly recommended — we would definitely stay here again!
