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 reviewWe had a fantastic stay at Castro Elafonisos when we were given a room with a sea view and a private terrace on the second floor. We loved being able to watch the sunset from the terrace every evening, that alone was worth every penny. The room was huge, spacious, and with high ceilings – absolutely beautiful. The shower and bathroom were nice and practical, and being able to prepare our own meals and coffee with the capsule machine was very convenient. The house is nicely situated on a gentle hill on the way to Simos Beach. We had a rental car, so it only took a few minutes to get to the beach. It is the most beautiful beach we have ever experienced in Europe. Lovely sand and shallow water with crystal-clear sea. You could almost stand upright 100 meters from the shore. The drive down to Elafonisos is long, but it was truly worth it. Highly recommended!
It's wonderful to hear that your experience was so positive. We truly value guests who take the time to share their impressions, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Knowing that you had a fantastic time is the best reward for us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another memorable occasion.

Verified reviewThe owners were very welcoming, replenishing a basket of goodies every day. The room was clean, cleaned daily, very spacious, equipped with all the necessary utilities, owners even provided a baby bed for our little one. Room was also equipped with an a/c unit, but temperature was great, so we fidn't use it. The view was amazing, see photo. Location is great, quiet but still very close to the town and the nicest beaches of the island. Our stay was great and we're very thankful to the owners.
We are grateful that you enjoyed your time in our establishment! Thank you very much!

Verified reviewThe place was wonderful. We were very impressed by the attitude of the host, who welcomed us warmly, gave us directions about the island and suggestions for dinner. The room was very clean and welcoming, with a great view. Every day they cleaned our room and changed the towels. We also received welcome gifts which made a wonderful impression. We are completely charmed and delighted with this place and would certainly recommend it. We are also very grateful for the gift that the host gave us.
Тhere is nothing we didn't like.
Thank you very much for your nice review!

Verified reviewThe ultimate accommodation in Elafonisos! Their rooms are not only modern but also brand new, furnished with top-quality pieces. The spacious bed with an orthopedic mattress guarantees a restful stay. The daily delivery of organic, hard-to-find goods was a delightful touch. After a week's stay, I'm already planning my return! Highly recommended! In a region known for its dated hotels, this gem stands out.
Thank you very much!! You were exceptional guests!
