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 reviewIt was walking distance to most attractions, the space itself was tidy and spacious. The balcony was large but unfortunately it was too warm to enjoy 😆 Tina was incredibly accomodating, very friendly and gave us heaps of local recommendations. Some made our stay a lot more memorable.
The bedding wasn’t the greatest. It wasn’t very comfortable to sleep in but thankfully one of the blankets at the property helped me sleep better. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
Thank you for the detailed comment and the nice review! I'm very happy you had a pleasant time.

Verified reviewThe property is well situated and about a 20 minute walk away from all the main attractions. It was very neat and comfortable. I appreciated how pretty the accommodation was and that it was well equipped with enough pillows, blankets and cutlery. The host is very helpful and shared activity and cafe recommendations ahead of our arrival. The aircon also helped so much with the heat. My partner and I enjoyed our stay so much and I would recommend this as a great place to stay in Athens.

Verified reviewMy daughter and I had a really nice weekend. The house, iris 1, is really very welcoming. The bathroom was probably recently renovated and is well equipped. The terrace is also very comfortable. The house is modern and equipped with every comfort. The building is located in a central area served by the metro a short distance away. The added value however was Tina, an extremely attentive and helpful person. We had a good time thanks Tina!
These kind words are more than enough for me. Beautiful memories after a trip with our loved ones are the best. Thank you!

Verified reviewThe flat was in a great location, close to the metro, and 15 min walking distance from the main sights of Athens. The host was very helpful and easy to reach. She left us lovely drinks & snacks when we arrived and also gave extensive recommendations of shops & restaurants in the area. The flat had everything we needed, was very clean, with a large balcony. As the weather was unusually cold during our stay, we appreciated the central heating that came on every evening, as well as the extra blankets. Check in / check out process was easy & convenient.
The bar on the ground floor can be noisy from Thursday to Saturday if you’re a light sleeper
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice review. The apartment is situated in a bustling, lively area, and some level of urban noise is to be expected even at night. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Well I have been robbed at the Metro, but that has nothing to do with the host or the place itself. It is apparently part of life at some places.
Thank you for your kind comments, and I'm really sorry for the unpleasant experience you had.

Verified reviewApartment: The facilities are basic, but everything is well-managed and functioning properly. I believe that something simple, yet fully satisfying the needs of guests, is the greatest benefit you can experience, and this apartment proves that. It has a lovely balcony. Although I couldn’t use it due to the cold weather, the condition was spotless, and it was well-equipped with clean chairs and a table. The bathroom is a bit small for us, but it is clean, comfortable, and fresh. The open-plan kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedroom (with what I think is a king-size bed) are incredibly clean and sufficiently spacious. All of these areas are comfortable, with plenty of natural light and fresh air (I didn’t detect any bad odors at all) because they have direct access to the balcony (it is on the 4th floor). I visited in late February, so I wasn’t tempted by the strong pull of spending time on the balcony, but I can imagine that the balcony and the apartment's layout would make your summer stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Host: Tina was very kind and responsive. We usually communicated via the Booking.com app, but it was never inconvenient. She always responded quickly and provided thorough answers to my questions. What an amazing host! Neighborhood: The apartment is about 100 meters from Panepistimio Station (the red line), one stop away from Syntagma. It’s a slight climb from the station to the building, but nothing too tough. It’s just one block away from the Academia of Athens and is located in the university area of Athens, much like Bloomsbury in London. In the neighborhood, you’ll easily find plenty of cafes, bookstores, and bars. It’s also a 10-minute walk to the municipal traditional market, where you can explore and try some local foods. While it’s not close to Plaka, it’s definitely walkable. If you prefer a more peaceful, local area away from the typical tourist spots, this will be the ideal place for you.
Not really. One minor thing was that I couldn't find a laundry washing machine. I didn’t need it during my stay, but I did wonder what I would do if I were staying in the summer.
Dear Ji, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice and detailed review! I appreciate it! I'm very glad to hear that you liked the facilities and the comfortability of the apartment. I'm also thrilled you noticed this city. Weather gives the ability to enjoy the open air space most time of the year. Crossing the city towards an attraction it also offers traces of everyday life. I wish you and your mother to have a trip you will always remember.
