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 reviewLovely characterful Guesthouse in a brilliant location for the ferry and for Hydra Old Town. I loved the balcony overlooking the cathedral and the harbour. Comfy bed. The room had a little bit of luxury about its decor. The breakfast on the roof terrace at sister hotel, Douskos Port House was a fantastic start to the day. The view is beautiful!
As it is an old property, there are lots of stairs, and no lift, which may be problematic for people with mobility issues or large luggage. My bathroom window didn't have a blind.

Verified reviewLocation was very convenient , steps from the cafes at the port. Nice renovated outlook and cute balcony with a view. Great breakfast with very friendly staff there and awesome views of the port.
For €250 per night after mid August the room was lacking some basic things like hair dryer and iron. The Monastery’s bells are going off since 6 am every hour, you cannot relax with that. SUPER noisy room, you could hear everything from the trash collection to the locals or drunk people coming back at 5 am. The property should invest in better noise cancellation if they want to charge prices such that.

Verified reviewIt is was amazing
Nothing. I had to add one night to my stay in Hydra (because of Air Canada) and it was the only place available. No cheap, but amazing.

Verified reviewGreat location, right by the port. Angeliki was extremely nice and helpful with giving us directions and tips on what to do on Hydra. The included breakfast was lovely and served on a fantastic terrace a short walk from the accommodation.
Unfortunately our aircon stopped working in the middle of the night, which made the sleep uncomfortable.

Bathroom is quite tight. I'd bring your own toilet paper as very rough.

Verified reviewExcellent location close to the ferry port. Lovely aircon - it was very hot outside. Very friendly and helpful reception. Great bed and cushions.
The upstairs bed will be an issue for older people that are not that mobile. Quite a few wall fixtures coming loose.

Verified reviewHelpful girl at the reception, that we liked a lot. Incredible location!
This is not a 200 euros per night stay. They put us in a work in progress residence, with dirty premises and construction workers. The wifi was not working and neither did the signal, meaning we could not even communicate with our family during our stay (let alone work there). We were really disappointed by this stay unfortunately, largely because of the price. It's not worth it unfortunately.

Verified reviewIt was clean
They own numerous properties on the island. Even though we booked Douskos "Guesthouse" - they placed us in another of their residences. We booked a "mountain view" room - "view" is a stretch - more like "glimpse" - would be a better word.

Verified reviewThe property is very centrally located and easy to get to. The staff was very helpful to check us in. The rooms had powerful AC, which was helpful for July Hydra heat. We had the breakfast every morning and appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff.
Bed was a little uncomfortable and the bathroom cramped. Other than that, well appointed simple rooms and powerful air conditioning!
