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 reviewBrand new hotel with high end finishes and attention to detail. What makes this hotel 5 star are its staff. Harra, Dinitri and the team provide excellent care for your every need, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is excellent. The location is excellent. There are only 5 rooms so service is very personable. The restaurant is very good. The rooms are well appointed with high quality amenities. I liked the magnolia scented bath products. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewThe property was beautiful, so lovely designed, spacious, clean and had every possible facility needed. The breakfast was in their beautiful restaurant and was really delicious. The last day we had to leave really early before breakfast so they brought us breakfast for the road which was so generous. And our luggage got lost at the airport and they were so helpful making sure it got dropped off to us and left it in our room. Felt like a piece of luxury in the heart and centre of Athens. The location was perfect to get everywhere and so convenient and so nicely air conditioned to escape the heat of Athens.

Verified reviewI had the most wonderful stay at the Emerald Hotel in Athens. Tucked away in the heart of the city, this boutique gem perfectly combines charm, comfort, and character. From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality made me feel at home, yet every detail still felt special and thoughtfully curated. The hotel itself is beautifully designed—stylish yet cozy, with unique touches that give it so much personality. My room was spotless, comfortable, and filled with natural light, offering the perfect retreat after exploring Athens. Despite being right in the city center, it felt like a calm oasis where I could truly relax. What really sets the Emerald Hotel apart is the atmosphere. It doesn’t feel like a standard hotel, but more like a secret haven that’s both intimate and welcoming. The location is unbeatable too—just steps from the main attractions, great restaurants, and vibrant neighborhoods.

Powerful fragrance even after requesting fragrance-free. Could tone it down a little :) Bar across the street from the suite can be loud and unsightly

Couldn’t fault it as a boutique, stylish hotel. With staff who go above and beyond. We arrived on an early morning flight into Athens. They held our luggage and as soon as the room was available they notified us via WhatsApp well before check in time that we could use it.

Verified reviewFantastic little hotel in the heart of Athenes. Location is ideal, the staff was very friendly and the amenities are of premium quality. We stayed in the Uranus room, with the private terrasse above that is perfect for morning coffee.
Quite slow for breakfast service, but nothing unusual for Athenes (and we didn’t mention we were in a hurry, so that’s on us as well).

Dear Mr. Dovico, Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of your recent stay with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed both our location and the à la carte breakfast at our restaurant. Your kind words about our team’s assistance with your luggage are greatly appreciated. We do understand that the absence of an elevator may be a challenge for some guests.

In light of this, our team is always happy to assist with luggage to help ensure your comfort. Regarding the view, as a city hotel, our rooms offer a view of the urban surroundings—placing you right in the heart of the local atmosphere. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards, The Front Office Team

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at Emerald Hotel! The hotel was centrally located and easy to walk to all the major attractions in Athens. Our room was brand new and clean, and we loved using the rooftop tub to cool down after a long day walking around. Finally, the staff was so kind - they arranged airport taxis for us, and prepared delicious to-go sandwiches for us to take in the morning because we had an early flight home. Highly recommend this lovely hotel!

Verified reviewI liked that it was close to restaurants, shops, and at least 15-20 mins to all the attractions. It was nice that breakfast was offered in a place just around the corner and that they had outdoor/indoor spaces. The building and room was kept very clean. The staff, Hara, Demetri, and others in the restaurant were extremely helpful and kind. I could not have asked for a better staff team for my first time in Athens. They checked in on me often, helped with my luggage given there wasn’t an elevator, and helped coordinate airport transportation. I appreciated their kindness as a solo, female traveler.
Nothing.
