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 reviewDenise kept in touch during the booking stage. She answered lots of my questions and arranged our transport from the port to the dock. Haiko (apologies if spelling is incorrect) greeted us at the boat and prepared some drinks for us. Yannis joined shortly afterwards. He discussed the proposed itinerary and dietary requirements with us, before sailing along the Athenian Riviera. They anchored with a view of a local bay. We swam for around an hour. They both prepared our meal during this time. A meal; more of a feast. Yannis did more than I could in 30 years of marriage. He got my husband to eat and enjoy seafood! The dishes that he cooked were delicious and proudly presented to us by Haiko. We had booked the captains cabin. We showered and returned up on deck in time for the sail home, witnessing a beautiful sunset as we went. The bed was spacious, comfortable and clean. We awoke to quite the breakfast selection the next morning, up on deck. Thank you, it was wonderful, a perfect, intimate way to spend our anniversary. We would highly recommend the gastronomic cruise and stay. Worth every penny 😊.
'Walking the plank' on to the boat, may be difficult for some. When swimming in the open sea, less confident swimmers may benefit from a life jacket.

Verified reviewThis was an unforgettable experience—my first time staying on a boatel, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. The boat was incredibly comfortable, beautifully maintained, and full of character. What made it truly exceptional was the daily cruise trips, the positive energy on board, and most importantly, the people: Captain Giannis and crew member Khaiko were absolutely amazing—professional, warm, and always making sure we felt at home. The seafood meals were a highlight—cooked with salty sea water and pure Greek olive oil, offering a truly organic and local experience. The onboard bar served excellent Greek wines and drinks at any time, making the evenings even more enjoyable. Every day felt like a new adventure, followed by calm evenings under the stars with gentle waves and Greek melodies.
Honestly, nothing at all. I only regret that I didn’t stay longer.

Verified reviewWhat a fantastic experience. We had to book a place to stay for one day in Athens and found this sailing yacht. So happy we did. We had a very warm welcome by Yannis and Haiko. Fantastic hosts that make you feel special. They showed us our cabin and perfectly explained how things worked. We were asked for our breakfast preferences for the following morning. The breakfast was wonderful. I can highly recommend to stay here instead of a hotel.
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay on Boat Aiolis. We booked 2 nights and a sunset gastronomy cruise and it was the perfect end to our Greek holiday. The crew was absolutely fantastic and the food cooked by Captain Giannis was the best of our 3 week trip. What a fantastic experience - thank you to everyone involved!

Verified reviewnice boat, nice place, excellent host
if you don't know, who else shares the other cabins on the boat with you, you neither know, if you'd be able to sleep
Dear Petr, We are very sorry that you experienced trouble sleeping because of the neighbours. It is indeed very frustrating but unfortunately there is nothing we can do if we have noisy neighbours. This can happen anywhere, from a hotel to an apartment or studio. It is not something that we could have avoided. It is rare indeed as the marina is not that busy during night but during your stay we had this unfortunate event. Hopefully next time you will be able to fully enjoy your stay and appreciate the calmness of the boat. Wish you all the best!

Definitely not a children friendly environment, and it’s not in line with what is being advertised on the Booking and Google.
Dear Anna, Thank you for your review and for doing what you warn us to do in case we don’t fully refund you. However we prepared 2 cabins for you and you suddenly decided to leave the boat within 10 min of your arrival, according to our policy this is not a reason to fully refund you as it is not our fault if you decide last minute that you prefer something else. We have hosted hundreds of families the past 10 years on our boat. We run a family business and we have ourselves 3 wonderful daughters that join us many times, especially when other guests bring their own kids. We know how to make a convenient and loving environment for all, especially for our little angels and I am sorry that you didn’t give the chance to experience that and left within 10 min for ice cream and never came back. We advertise exactly what we offer and hundreds reviews here, on Google and other platforms prove that. You wanted to make a difference and we are ok with that, however as you never truly experienced us and never got to know us, and your review goes because we didn’t refund you, this input should be also judged from people who actually spend a night onboard with their children. Wish you all the best!

Verified reviewThe boat is easy access to the marina, very well maintained. I booked the experience but unfortunately it was cancelled due to another party cancellation and weather. I had a great sleep on the boat, Yannis was a wonderful host ensured I had all I needed for a comfortable stay. I will book again when in Athens and enjoy the sailing and boat experience next time. THANKS for all your help Yannis.
