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):
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.
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.).

New ZealandWe were a bit indecisive about what part of Symi town to stay in, but finally focused around the clock tower as it had a swimming area off the promenade. Choosing the Dorian Hotel did not disappoint, what a gorgeous place! We had a spacious room with balcony & lovely views of Symi, but there were other terraces around that we also made use of. Appreciated the traditional beautiful hand painted features on the walls and furniture, the well stocked kitchen, super comfortable bed and excellent wifi. Nikos was such a nice guy, helpful taking our luggage up the stairs to the Hotel. We adored Symi and would love to return one day and stay at the Dorian again!

United KingdomStep flight of steps to the property, but this is highlighted by the owner. Our accommodation had steps to the bedroom which may not suit everyone.
Location is fantastic, a short distance from the port and arguably the more scenic side of the bay. The town is easily walkable and there is a lovely quiet beach nearby.

Great location just minutes from the Clock Tower where our ferry docked. Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped with tea, coffee, milk and sugar even being provided. Nikos is a warm and welcoming host who kindly brought us some treats from the bakery. We loved sitting outside watching the world go by down on the harbour

Location close to the clocktower, but quieter side. Up some steps, but not too many! Enjoyed sitting at table and chairs by the steps in the evening. The apartment consisted of a small kitchen area at the entrance, bedroom and shower room, nicely decorated. Nikos met us and was very helpful and kind.

FinlandQuite a lot of steep steps to get there, not a problem for us but maybe elderly/ disabled people should be aware. Would 100% book the room with balcony, had it for one night and it really made a big impact to open the doors in the morning and enjoy breakfast with the view.
Great central location, beautiful view and the most helpful staff.

The view from the terrace was great. We booked the maisonette. Dorian is in a quite area away from the main area but only a 5-10 min walk

AustraliaRoom 25. The bed was on a sort of platform, hard to get down from in a hurry.no view from the room unless you leave a door open and then it’s extremely limited. The Kitchen & Dining Area was in a Cave with no Natural light. The shower and Grate on the bathroom floors are to big for the drainage pipes. These are annoying and represent trip hazard.
Quiet location and very handy to Port Area. Nick is very hospitable, provided transfers to Port & even bought us a cup of coffee.
