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 reviewPretty clean and quiet, good location next to the metro station, lovely restaurant on the other site of the road.
Apartment is very dark and small, not for longer than one night. Looks worst than on the photos provided on booking. Even though it was well cleaned there is an impression of dust and dirt because it needs renovation. No contact with the host. The contact phone number provided on booking.com doesn't answer. For extra 20EUR we got much better place for the rest of our stay in Athens.

In general it looks very nice but the could have paid a bit nore attention to the details of the constructions ( eg bathroom). The main entrance / balcony could have been nore clean.

Verified reviewThe place looked very clean. Across from the metro station. In a nice neighborhood.
Untimely communication. Make sure you know the key-lock information in advance otherwise you will have to wait on arrival, call and - in our case - get the wrong room.

Verified reviewClean place. Functional AC. Easy to get to. Not too far from the City Center Area and near nice restaurants.
WiFi was very inconsistent - signal was poor, unlike what the comments reported. I couldn't complete my work. Shower pressure was very low. Also, you are right across the metro -- it's very loud.

Verified reviewCircle Inn is perfectly located in peaceful Petralona. It's a short stroll to a square with excellent cafes and an even shorter stroll to fantastic restaurants and taverns (including Karderina, a tavern they own in an exceptional setting with delightful food!) We stayed here for the first leg of our trip and the last leg. The staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing early check-in on both legs of our trip. I arranged transfers through them, so check-in and check-out went smoothly. Sometimes, I found it a bit slow to get a response on Booking.com, but a phone call would solve this each time! The room size was large, and we appreciated the snacks provided! The beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioning was a sweet relief as it was 36 degrees Celsius and above while we were there. The air conditioning allowed us to sleep soundly! The bathroom was large and we appreciated the oversized shower! Our room on the second leg (MoMA) had a small ant problem in the kitchen and bathroom, but it didn't really bother us as it was minimal, and we were only there for one night on that leg. That room also had a couple of broken fixtures, but again, easy to work around and acceptable. The property is opposite the train station, there is a bus stop at its door step and it's very easy to hail a taxi from making it the perfect base to explore Athens. The Acropolis was also under 30 minutes walk away (though it's a hilly walk, like most of Athens!). Despite the train station opposite, the accommodation was very quiet inside the rooms. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it. We look forward to returning again when we are next in Athens.
As I mentioned, the couple of broken fixtures and the ants in the second room were our only critiques. This is an easy fix and all in all, it didn't dampen our stay! There was also a smell coming from outside when we arrived at the first room but closing the windows for half an hour or so sorted this out!
