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 reviewThis is a lovely family business run by two wonderful hosts Ellen and Makis. The location is great, it's on a quiet street in Poros so very quiet at night but yet just 2-3 minutes away from the beach and restaurants. The property has several street parking spots which is really useful if you are renting a car. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you need. (mine even had a kitchinette). The value for money ratio is fantastic. I would stay here again without hesitation and thoroughly recommend it if you are looking for a place to enjoy your holiday in Kefalonia.
Nothing comes to mind. Perhaps the AC is a bit slow to kick in but not a major problem.

Verified reviewWe were in the same accommodation last year, we liked it so we decided to come again. The accommodation is in a quiet place, good for sleeping. There is a lot of greenery. The hosts Max and Eleni are wonderful people, ready to help if you need anything (they helped us with booking the ferry), we enjoyed their watermelons, and Eleni is a true master at making apricot jam. On this occasion, we would like to thank them for making our vacation even more beautiful. For those who need a complete vacation, this accommodation is the right choice.
Everything was fine.
Thank you very much!

Verified reviewWe had a lovely balcony that looked out over the sea which was lovely especially at dawn. The access the the swimming pool down the hill was great.
The shower cubicle was a little small.

Verified reviewThe couple running this place, Makis and Elle, is very friendly and forthcoming. In an 'ungreek way' the place is extremely well maintained. The facilities are excellent and are clearly being upgraded regularly; with an amazing eye for detail. Besides, the hygiene is absolutely superb. Besides, the views are great; the garden is phenomenal and clearly is maintained with the greatest care. Makis and Elle will gladly share the fresh fruits that this garden is producing daily.
One minor point: We are not really fond of the type of matrass, where a slight movement of one person is immediately transmitted to the other person.
Thank you for your comments!!

Verified reviewExcellent location of the facility - although it is on a small hill, it is not difficult to reach the beach on foot. Nicely maintained yard. Although I'm not a fan of the ground floor in this accommodation, it's also an advantage because of the yard where you feel completely safe. Very friendly and professional hosts. Daily cleaning of the apartment, change of bed linen and towels for 3 days, comfortable beds. The apartment is spacious and airy. View of the sea across the yard, through orange, tangerine and palm trees. A peaceful environment, without the noise of cars, a large number of people and stray dogs. Restaurants, promenade and shops within a ten minute walk. For every recommendation.
Thank you for your review!!

Verified reviewA beautiful view of the sea, but at the same time located in a quiet area, very close to the beach and the waterfront with taverns. In 5 minutes you are on the beach, on foot. The cleanliness is exemplary, everything is changed more than frequently, towels, linen, and last but not least, the hosts are extremely welcoming and want to help you with any problem you may have. The location is very well maintained and it can be seen that the owners are very attentive to details. If the older comments complain about the lack of mosquito nets, the problem is solved. There are modern, folding nets at each door to the balcony. We initially booked 7 nights, but we extended our stay because we felt good. Thank you Makis & Ellen, you were very good hosts!
Thank you for your review! It gives us strength to carry on and to be improved. Really happy on being part of your summer memory. Hope to see you again at our premises!

Verified reviewVery nice apartment. The hosts Makis and Ellen were very kind and friendly. The whole place is very clean and comfortable. The room was cleaned regularly. There is a small but very nice garden in front of the house. The Poros beach is also very nice with not too much crowd. There are several beach bars, but also a lot of free space. Poros is a nice little town, perfect for a peaceful vacation. Many good restaurants along the beach. We really enjoyed our time in Makis Studios.
Thank you for your review. We are happy we become part of a beautiful memory!

Verified reviewBeautiful stay in a lovely simple garden studio. The bed was really comfortable. Studio was cleaned daily and Makis and Ellen were very caring hosts.
There was nothing we didn’t like. The property is a short walk from the beach area up a small hill, so if you don’t like hills then not for you! Not a problem for us at all and we loved the location.
