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.).

NetherlandsWe really felt at home at Maistrali, we picked up the keys at the very good restaurant Anemoussa directly below the studios. This is where they also serve breakfast. The location is superb, directly on the beachfront, beautiful views from the huge terrace we had at the uppermost room. Room was good size, comfy beds with small kitchenette. Breakfast was the best we ever had in Greece, and a bit different every day. We had a couple of meals at the restaurant, which we thought the best in Diafani (we didn't have time to visit them all though). The owners of studios and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Next time we will definitely go to Maistrali again.

Owner is friendly and the location is great in Diafani. From the restaurant it is a nice view to the bay. Room was quite basic but breakfast excellent. Kept me energetic for the best part of the day when hiking to the hills.

ItalyStaying at Maistrali Studios was one of the highlights of my trip to Karpathos. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed — but what made it truly special was the warmth and generosity of the family who runs it. I felt at home from the very first moment. On the ground floor, their restaurant Anemoessa became my daily spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is fresh, delicious, and full of the real taste of Greece. The girls who welcomed me were always smiling, kind, and attentive. There’s a beautiful, light energy here — warm, feminine, and deeply caring.

CanadaIt was end-of-season so the breakfast was pretty basic (some groceries were provided). I'm sure it is better when the cook is around!

ItalyThe flat -- for 4 people, so for a family -- was not, as it seemed, in the studios overlooking the waterfront fountain and the restaurant, but in a building behind, with many flights of stairs to climb to the top: strenuous, certainly not suitable for someone elderly or suffering from some problem. We found this out upon arrival, because it was not marked. So bad. The decor is a bric-à-brac of furniture all different, with a winter living room. The kitchen devoid of many things (we had to ask for 1 cup for making coffee!), with a very ruined countertop (but also the mirror and bathroom light). Never had housekeeping, and the apartment was not very clean. Breakfast, by 10 a.m., had to be done downstairs, so forced to go down and up the many stairs: poor quality (industrial fruit juice, bacon with honey, in turn salty things but all industrial).
The view on the bay. But the balcony is not private but a passageway - and so not so quite. The apartment above looks better, with a detached terrace.

TurkeyMy opinions about the hotel are as follows Employees: very helpful, well-intentioned hotel room: 1) When the air conditioner is turned on in the room, it sounds like there is an airplane inside the room, the outdoor unit located right next to the room makes a tremendous noise and the noise is so loud that even two people cannot talk among themselves. 2)bathroom/toilet: it was too small for 1 person, the second person cannot enter the bathroom. 3) bed: if you have a habit of turning left and right while sleeping, the bed makes a tremendous noise. restaurant 1. breakfast ok 2nd dinner. Fish prices are similar to Mykonos prices, even the tzaziki seems a little diluted, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

FinlandNothing to complain about, everything was just perfect! The host, Anna, upgraded us (on low-season) to a room that had the most amazing views to Diafani beach. Bed was very comfy, breakfast was modest but had everything we needed. I read some reviews earlier about small bathrooms, and yes, it was quite small, but you fit just perfectly to shower and to do your morning routines. :) Highly recommended! Thank you for a lovely and very cozy stay! ❤️
