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.).

Nothing not to like typical Greek authentic guest house!
Simple classic Greek style stay… Great location in the very heart of Hydra’s port, very comfortable and clean, staff were warm and welcoming. Everything one would need and great value for money… would most definitely recommend to anyone wanting a no fuss stay at a great price… Beautiful balcony with wonderful views of rooftops of Hydra and looking beyond to the port with sea views. Located right above a great very busy bar, L ‘ Americano , fabulous cocktails with great atmosphere and music! The bar is busy and often open till around midnight to 3am however you can’t hear a single sound, as the guest house has taken precautions to add extra glazed double doors out to the balcony without ruining the original charm of the typical old building features… Perfect stay!!

If we would have to state something negative, it might be the size of the room, especially the tiny bathroom, but it really was perfect for our 4 nights on Hydra.
The location was fantastic and we even had a great view over the port from our tiny balcony. Although the room was small, it contained everything we needed, was very clean and the air-conditioning kept it cold during the heat wave. We spent the most nights during our Greece trip in Botsis Guest House and felt very lucky about this choice, as it was by far the best accommodation we had on our trip. In particular, the bed was very comfortable! Also the host was super nice and always available to our questions. We could also take some beach towels to the beach, which were cleaned every day, if wanted.

The address in booking appears to be a little off. It's the right street though, you just continue until.you'll see it.
Amazing location. It has a small balcony with a great view, the bed was soft and very comfortable. The staff are very nice people. Had a lovely time, and this place offers tremendous value for money.

Nearby church bells ringing repeatedly at 7am wasn’t great, but that’s not the responsibility of the guest house. The accommodation was excellent.
A terrific guest house in a beautiful location. Run by very nice people. I would definitely recommend this to friends.

Two minutes from the port, no steps to climb, in a pretty little side street. The room was spotless with a lovely little balcony onto the street. Comfortable bed, fridge and kettle and complimentary beach towels. The host was lovely and very helpful. An ideal spot for a stay in Hydra.
