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.).

Loved everything, the location, the owners. It is one of the best places in Hydra and if its available for your dates you should book it without a second thought. I have been to hydra 4 times and this was the best place I’ve stayed on the island

GreeceThe shower tray was a bit slippery and I was a bit nervous and ultra cautious when I was using it, otherwise no complaints at all! The host was most helpful indeed and his local recommendations were perfect. I have already recommended the property to others, and will be returning to it myself.
Top class service

United StatesThe room we were in is literally on the street so you hear the occasional walk by conversation or horse and donkeys hooves. You can close the shutters for more privacy.
Clean lovely nice size room. Good water pressure. The host Panagiotis. took our bags and stored them for us as we arrived at 10am in hydra. Great neighborhood- try lemon tree cafe. Especially the spinach pie and great cappuccino. The owner took the time to show us local beaches and their distances from the guest house on a color map he gave us. Cute courtyard - looks like breakfast served at one time. The building itself is old and charming.

AustraliaIt was all good. Especially the lovely courtyard.
Hydra is an expensive island and it is very difficult to find accommodation that doesn't cost an exorbitant amount. Guesthouse Alexandra surpassed our expectations - it was spotlessly clean, comfortable, in the perfect spot and was great value for money. We'd definitely say again and highly recommend to those not wanting to spend a small fortune for a room.

Panagiotis, the owner has been so nice the all time, she really cares about her guests being happy and satisfied. Strongly recommended!

United Arab EmiratesThe rooms overlooking the street tend to be noisy. The windows can't be left open because of mosquitoes and because anyone from the street can come into the room if your room is on the ground floor. A mosquito netting on the windows would be nice to at least get some air in when you're in the room. The blinds, even when shut tend to filter some light in, so if you need darkness to sleep better, a sleeping mask is recommended ;) I'm personally not a fan of air conditioning, and I would have preferred having a ceiling fan.
The rooms and bathroom were spacious and very pretty. The beds were comfortable. There is a mini fridge and an electric kettle with tea and coffee. It's perfectly located, close to everything but far enough from the noise at the center. I would highly recommend it and I will definitely come back.

The room was perfect, great bed, super bathroom and everything very well done, tastefully furnished with a traditional feel. There is a lovely spacious courtyard with tables where guests can sit and drink their coffee etc. Panayiotis the owner, and Maria who did the room everyday could not have been more helpful and lovely. We will be returning for sure!

GreeceThe only problem seemed to be poor soundproofing. Our room was looking to the street, and if you wanted to have your windows open you were able to hear everything that was going on outside just like if it was in your room.
Very helping hosts, told us everything about the island and offered some beaches to go and the best restaurants. Also, they checked us in a bit earlier. Comfortable and clean room, large bathroom (sleepers, soap, shampoo and shower gel provided). There's also some tea/coffee in your room and a big bottle of water in the fridge from the hotel. The location is just perfect, only 2 minutes walking from the port but not in a busy and loud street, all the restaurants and super markets are nearby. The first beach is about 7 minutes away.
