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 Divani Hotel was the perfect base for exploring Athens. The hotel was spotless, and the staff kept everything exceptionally clean. Best of all, the rooftop pool offers amazing views of the city and is a great place to unwind. Highly recommend!
The rooms could use a refresh as they seem a little dated but overall it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Verified reviewRooms were clean and comfortable. Room service was great. Bathrooms were large and clean. Facilities were nice. Location was close to cafes and taverns aswell as 5min walk to the train station.
The pool was nice however you could not swim in it as the water was way too cold. The pool is not heated and the kids could not get in. Also there wasnt enough sun beds for the size of the hotel. The pool area should be extended. Very over crowded during the day. Very expensive food and drinks at the pool. 9€for a small draft beer and 12€ for some grapes and strawberries.
Dear Nektarios, thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at the Divani Caravel Hotel. We are pleased to hear that you found your room clean and comfortable, enjoyed the large and well-maintained bathrooms, and appreciated our central location, as well as the quality of our room service. Regarding the pool area, we would like to note that our pool is heated during the winter months. We also take your observations about sunbed availability, crowding during peak hours, and the pricing of food and beverages seriously, although the prices may seem high, they reflect the hotel’s category, quality, and level of service and your comments about a potential pool expansion have been shared with the relevant departments as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the guest experience. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, The Divani Caravel Team

The hotel does not deserve any stars. I had booked a room with a double bed and they gave me a room with a single bed. After I went back to the reception they said ok I will give you another room. The room they gave me smelled of damp. The person at the reception was uneducated and tried to make fun of me. I recommend you do not make the mistake of sleeping in such a hotel.
Dear Indrit, thank you for sharing your feedback. At Divani Caravel Hotel, we take pride in our tradition of hospitality, and whenever availability allows, we are pleased to extend complimentary upgrades to our valued guests. In your case, we were delighted to offer a two-category upgrade, from an Essential Room to an Executive Room on the 6th floor. Regarding to your request for a double bed, please note that such requests are subject to availability. Our reception team, consistently recognized for achieving the highest guest satisfaction scores, did their utmost to accommodate your preference. Even during a period of high occupancy, and despite the challenges of the situation, our team acted with professionalism and courtesy, arranging once again an upgraded room, this time to a Superior Room with a double bed. Sincerely, The Divani Caravel Team.

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at the Divani Caravel Hotel in Athens, and I can honestly say the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Even before my arrival, the hotel left me impressed. I had mistakenly booked the wrong dates, and the staff kindly corrected my reservation without any additional charge. That level of flexibility and kindness already set the tone for a memorable stay. When I arrived early in the morning, the team went above and beyond to accommodate me. By 11 a.m., they had not only found me a room but also upgraded me at no extra cost. Walking into the room was a delight—it was spacious, beautifully prepared, and to my surprise, an ice bucket with a bottle of my favorite mastic liqueur was waiting for me. It felt as though they had anticipated my taste and welcomed me in the most personal way. Throughout my stay, the service was consistently outstanding. I enjoyed a delicious business lunch where the Caesar salad stood out for its freshness and perfect preparation, served with genuine warmth by a very attentive waitress. Later that evening, I went up to the rooftop bar, which offers stunning views of Athens. The staff once again exceeded expectations, keeping the bar open later just so I could enjoy a relaxing drink after a long day. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and truly appreciated. The following morning, the breakfast buffet was equally impressive, offering a wide variety of high-quality choices. I didn’t feel the need for extras—the spread was more than enough to start the day right. In short, everything—the location, the facilities, the atmosphere, and above all, the staff—was exceptional. Having not stayed at the Divani Caravel for some years, I was thrilled to rediscover it. This hotel is a true ambassador for Greek hospitality, and I am already looking forward to returning. Well done to the entire team—a fabulous experience from beginning to end!
Dear Yannis, thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your recent stay at Divani Caravel Hotel exceeded your expectations from start to finish. It was our pleasure to assist with your reservation and to accommodate your early arrival, including the complimentary upgrade and the personalized welcome in your room. We are thrilled that these gestures contributed to a memorable experience for you. We are equally pleased that you enjoyed our dining options, from the business lunch to the rooftop bar and breakfast buffet, and that our team’s attention to detail and hospitality made such a positive impression. Your kind words are a great motivation for our entire team, and it is truly rewarding to know that you felt well cared for and welcomed. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Athens and to providing another exceptional stay. Warm regards, The Divani Caravel Team

Total dissapointment. About the stuff and manager and conditions in rooms
Dear Aleksandra, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Upon your arrival, it was our pleasure to welcome you and, for your greater comfort, we provided a complimentary upgrade from the originally booked Family Room to Connecting Rooms, offering you two separate rooms instead of one, as we understand this option is often more convenient for families. We would also like to note that no concerns were communicated to our reception team or the operations manager during your stay, as mentioned in your review. In line with our commitment to hospitality, we always encourage our guests to contact us at any time during their visit so that we may promptly address any issues and ensure a more enjoyable experience. Additionally, we are pleased to highlight that your departure from the rooms was extended until 13:00 instead of the standard 11:00, with no additional charge applied for this late check-out. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back to Athens and to our hotel in the future. Sincerely, The Divani Caravel Team.

Dear Brandon, thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We are glad you enjoyed the pool area and found breakfast satisfactory. As a family-friendly hotel, we welcome many families every year. To ensure greater comfort during your stay, and since your reservation was for five people, we upgraded you to two adjoining rooms on a recently renovated floor, without any extra charge, as a way of thanking you for choosing us. Our hotel offers various room options that are flexible for families and allow them to explore the city with ease. We are also pleased to mention that our location is highly rated by many of our guests. We are situated in a neighborhood with permanent residents, mainly families, which ensures a quieter environment away from the city center’s noise. At the same time, the metro is just 450 meters away, taking you to Syntagma Square, the very heart of Athens, in only one stop. We truly value your feedback as it helps us to continuously improve. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for an even more enjoyable experience. Kind regards, The Divani Caravel Team.
