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 reviewStaying 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.

Verified reviewWe had the rooftop suite so it was pretty nice to walk outside and take in the beach/harbour view. The host was nice and helpful.
It 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!

Shutters and windows could do with a bit of tlc. Didn't bother us but were noisy/stiff to open, which may have disturbed neighbours.

Verified reviewThe 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.
The 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).

Verified reviewProperty has a great location with sea view. It’s also very calm and nice. The fact that apartment had balcony was a big bonus for me. Facilities are very well maintained. The thing I liked the most was the kindness of the owner and willingness to help. I also liked that self-service breakfast was included in the price.

Verified reviewi liked location, breakfast
My 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.
This season we renovated tree of our bathrooms ,planning on renovating the last two fr next season. The matresses on your bed is extremly high quality and have nt ever had any complaints! As for the prices sir it depends what you decied t eat ! You had first quality fish Orfo , the variety of fish is large you could of chossen something on your bugget and not complain after your departure ! On the menu there are dihes with sea food with 15 euro , these are not surly the prices of Myknos !!!

Verified reviewNothing 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! ❤️
Thank you for your stay , you will be missed ! Hope to see you an other year!!

Verified reviewLocation and comfortable bed
Lack of flexibility fir breakfast. This island is made for hiking and guests usually wake up early. The owner stated the breakfast was available only at 8.30/9 even because we were only 3 guests, she said.a bit disappointing
What was actually requested was to open the restaurant at 7 am can have breakfast whIch would mean we would have to open from 6:20 so all the machies would have warmed up by 7am! Breakfast is served from 8 am until 10 am any guest that may need breakfast earlier has the option to take it in there studio from the evening of the day before, which we informed also as to all our guests. During summer season we work from 7am until 12 pm full time all days of the week for six months, Its not a matter of flexability !!! Also when entering the deluxe studio after her departure I found the white sheets and towels of the studio all RED from her hair color, not usable after her stay!!!

Verified reviewI thought their restaurant had amazing food cooked by the owners daughter. Some of the best I've had in Greece. The location was excellent. Very quiet area.
We added some days on to our booking before we arrived and instead of staying in the room we booked, they took us up so many stairs (150) to an apartment they own. I can understand the difficulty of sorting out rooms when we added more days but when they put us into the apartment I was so upset as I have never seen such dirty, grimy accommodation. We asked was it possible to move to another room but they said it was full. If we had stayed in the room we booked, even for just the original number of days, it might have been a different story.
