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 reviewLocal, authentic, simple in the best way. Fabulous owners who nothing was too much trouble for.. Loaned us paddle board, fixed a broken shelf we didn’t even have time to tell them about, dropped us to the supermarket, gave us coffees and ice creams as we had to wait for our room. Clean comfy rooms with air con, lovely view to pool and sea. All Amazing. Quieter location which we loved, great nearby bars and restaurants.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe staff is very nice as mentioned previously mentioned. There is a very nice beach 5 minutes walk (uphill to return ).
The high score in booking I’m guessing is a mix of price and the family being helpful. But the hotel is old and while it is very clean it deeply needs renovation….. so take into consideration this is far from a luxury stay. Very basic . To be fair the hotel doesn’t premise anything otherwise. But the high score is a bit misleading.

Verified reviewThe room was really nice, well equipped with electric stove, blender, large TV, etc. that can support your necessities during your stay. There was also a common pool available for guests, that is open until late, so you can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing evening. ✨ What I appreciated most was the girl at the reception that gave us detailed explanation and recommendation on where to go and eat in the island. She provided information on the beaches and even sent us a what’s app message with all the necessary links. 💕 Bonus was the “welcome ice cream” and water that they offered us during our stay! ☺️ There is also possibility to order breakfast in the room, but we didn’t try it, as we wanted to head early for the center of the island and the beach.
The WiFi works well only close to the reception.

Verified reviewAbsolutely amazing family-run hotel, very clean, with comfortable beds, and a nice pool/snack bar. Location is good for the N/E side of the island. Great views from the room. Saw an amazing sunrise. Can walk 5 min to Vagia beach with nice sun beds and an excellent restaurant that will serve you drinks and food on the beach. Several excellent tavernas also a few min walk from the hotel. We the sweet family that runs the hotel loved most of all - so welcoming and friendly. They will gladly answer any questions you have, point you to the best spots, call taxis and restaurants for you. Amazing.
Nothing - all was well. Be aware that on the whole island of Aegina, cell/wifi service may be challenging to get at times.

Verified reviewThe staff, especially Deppie, were exceptionally helpful, recommending local restaurants, arranging transport, etc. The pool was very clean and there was good space to sit nearby. The beach was close, with fun waves and the beach restaurant was very nice. We also walked up to the Temple of Aphaia, 50-minute hike from the apartment, and well worth the effort.
The wi-fi signal was a bit erratic, but only a minor issue.

Our room was not a renovated one, so it felt a bit old for its price, although in general the property was very well preserved and nice

Verified reviewAbsolutely loved our stay at Blue Dolphin. It is a family-run small hotel with super friendly owners - they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly . Great pool, pick up from the ferry, got get tips on local restaurants (all of which were great) and close to the beach. We hope to come back one day.

Verified reviewThe best of the place, is the lovely family: father and mother and four daughters, who run the place in a very nice and friendly manner. They solve everything you want, always with a smile.
Can't tell, as there were no issues. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast: a bit of veggies and stronger coffee would make it perfect, but it's not a big deal.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure having you with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊

Verified reviewThe location has breathtaking views and the rooms are all well appointed. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. They thoughtfully provided cold waters when we headed out for a day trip. The pool had a big shallow end which was perfect for our kids. The breakfast was delicious and included fresh fruit and coffee. I would definitely stay here again!

Verified reviewStaff was super nice and willing to help and answer all our questions. They gave us complimentary drinks and ice-cream when we arrived. They also let us stay beyond checkout hours for our convenience. The breakfast they have is also very good!
The area is a bit isolated and hotel service ends early, so if you're hungry/thirsty after 9pm, you have to go to a local taverna. Late delivery is also only available from a couple tavernas only. Make sure to have stocked up on snacks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re truly happy to hear that you appreciated the hospitality, the kindness of our staff, and the small welcome treats upon your arrival. It’s always our pleasure to offer comfort and flexibility, such as the late check-out for your convenience. Regarding the quiet location and limited service hours after 9 p.m., we completely understand your feedback. We’ll make sure to better inform our guests about nearby dining options and the local tavernas that offer late delivery. Your suggestion about keeping snacks on hand is very helpful! After all, we also offer small snacks in the mini bar, such as chips, cookies, and more. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future!
