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 reviewLocated just a couple of minutes away from the acropolis. Surrounded by cute cafes and coffee shops! The hotel smells beautiful the moment you enter. So clean and the rooms are beautiful. The toiletries offered in the bathroom smell so good! Beautiful rooftop and view of the acropolis and Parthenon.

The pool closed way too early and also in the middle of the day. Breakfast was really expensive so we didn’t have it.

Verified reviewAltough the hotel is old, everywhere is super clean, decoration is old and classic style which I liked it very much. Reception and concierge team are very friendly and always willing to help you. roof restaurant(secret) is absolute gem, very well fine dining restaurant with perfect view, menu and service...Finally location is very good, you can walk to acropolis and plaka in max 10 minutes.
Extra bed in the room is not confortable, minibar is full stock but not cooling, swimming pool is so cold, because of the area is generallly in shadow, water is cold and thats why it is difficult to chill...one day our friends room is n ot cleaned, we couldn't understand why but it happened! (unacceptable for 5 star hotel) finally waitresses at breakfast hall are not very friendly, difficult to get an eye contact.
Dear Volkan, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay with us. We're truly pleased to hear that you appreciated the classic charm of our hotel, the cleanliness throughout the property, and the helpfulness of our reception and concierge teams. It's also wonderful to know you enjoyed our rooftop restaurant—Secret—and its fine dining experience, views, and service. We’re especially glad the location worked so well for your visit to Athens! At the same time, we would like to sincerely apologize for the aspects of your stay that did not meet your expectations. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we truly value your comments. We regret that the extra bed did not provide the comfort you needed, and we wish we had been informed about the minibar during your stay so we could have addressed it immediately. We’re also very sorry to hear about the housekeeping oversight and your experience at breakfast. Please rest assured we will share your feedback with the relevant teams to ensure improvements are made where needed. Thank you again for your honest and constructive comments. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and offer an even better experience. Warm regards, The Divani Palace Acropolis Guest Relations Team

Some of the photos are deceiving. Pool wasn’t on the rooftop, and some of the amenities in the room were either very old and the fridge in the room did not work
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed our excellent location, the comfort of your room, and the evening view of the Acropolis. We are, however, truly sorry to hear about the issue with the fridge. We wish we had been informed during your stay so that we could have addressed it immediately for your comfort. Regarding the pool, kindly note that at Divani Palace Acropolis it is located on the ground floor. Nowhere on our website do we specify that it is on the rooftop, which may have caused some confusion with our sister hotel, Divani Caravel. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience. Warm regards, The Divani Palace Acropolis Guest Relations Team

Verified reviewLocation could not be any better. Rooftop was majical and the room was what I expected.
The breakfast was below standard and the waitress's were young kids with no hospitality desire. Felt very unconfortable asking for anything through them and it took for ever. They were not engaging in the least bit. Also there were no irons in the rooms. They were promt to bring them to you however, you had a half hour to use it. Housekeeping was on the ball.
Dear Mr. Tsaousidis, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed our unbeatable location, the magical rooftop, and the warm service of our front desk team. We are also very happy to read your kind words about our housekeeping team, who take great pride in being attentive and efficient. Regarding the iron, kindly note that the hotel provides ironing service through our laundry. For guests’ convenience, we also provide irons upon request. For safety reasons, since it can sometimes happen that guests may forget to turn them off, we ask for them to be returned after use. We truly appreciate your understanding on this matter. Your feedback about breakfast service has also been shared with our team as we constantly work to enhance our guests’ experience. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back soon for an even more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, The Divani Palace Acropolis Guest Relations Team
