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 reviewPool, cleaning the room every day, size of rooms, view from room
We had to ask for amenities to be refilled, bathroom was very small, some rooms were more refurbished than others

Verified reviewGreat pool, comfortable rooms. Good air con, beds and shower. Friendly and helpful staff (eg lent us an iron). V reasonable service for laundry. Basically a good location to explore and for access to Naxos town if you have a car. Good area for running- quite flat. Generally v good value for the price, esp compared to accommodation in Santorini or Mykonos
Kitchenette seemed to be just for show- hob didnt work, no tea or coffee facilities. Not really feasible to walk to the beach.

Verified reviewVery clean - cleaned daily and towels changed every second day. Option to have your washing down. Handy to have a pool as Naxos was often too windy to be at the beach. Pool wasn’t used by a lot of people so had it to ourselves a lot. Owner very helpful with any queries.
Bathroom could do with hooks for towels and a shower curtain as it floor got flooded after every shower.

Verified reviewThe location was peaceful during the day, and the garden area was pleasant. The pool was amazing with comfortable sunbeds. The host communicated politely after I made the effort to install and use Viber, knowing it's more commonly used in Greece. He offered one night free, although I couldn’t accept it due to pre-booked ferry tickets and I wouldn't after a few days there, I just wanted to leave from that place.
The room did not match the description I booked. It was advertised with a sea view, which was the main reason I chose this property so far from Naxos Chora. Instead, I received a garden view, which felt misleading. Also, the pictures from the room didn't match at all the room we got. There were tiny insects (likely booklice) in the room throughout the stay. I had to kill several around the bed each night, making it hard to relax or sleep comfortably. Also, many ants were crawling on the floor as there were tiny holes between the walls and the floor. The toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet, making it awkward and uncomfortable to use. The sink also flooded because water wouldn’t drain properly. There was no actual hot water, only lukewarm, which wasn’t sufficient. The property lists 24/7 front desk service, but in reality, there is no reception, only a young person who shows up at certain hours and isn’t allowed to resolve issues himself. They claim to provide soap and toiletries, but there was only a single small hotel-style bottle that was never replaced. Finally, although I grew up on a farm and am used to animals, there was a yard with chickens and a rooster right next door and the rooster crowed loudly all night and day. It was honestly the first time in my life that animal sounds disturbed my sleep. It was just one more thing that prevented a peaceful stay.

Verified reviewWe liked the pool and the balcony feature, but that is about it.
When daily housekeeping is mentioned in the facilities, we expected our beds to be clean atleast every few days but the linen were never changed, no new toilet paper, no new trashbags etc. It was very poorly cleaned. Moreover, the first day we arrived, the shower was covered in sand and not cleaned.. Furthermore, the location of the studios could be described as middle of nowhere; not the hotels fault of course but yeah, not very convenient Also, the 5 days we were there; we only saw the reception desk open twice for an hour or so and the receptionist being the young son of the owner. It is a little scary coming back in the evening to a dark (not many lights outside) and empty hotel. Lastly, on our last day we were promised by the receptionist to help us with our luggage to the bus stop in order to take our ferry afterwards; he never showed up and did not answer our calls, this was very frustrating.
Dear Elly we are sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience you could have at our studios. In response to your complaints about our services I wanted to clarify a few things. First of all towels were changed daily and the linen every 2 days. If you want I can send you in a message the maids notes on what she did at your studio each of the days. About the toilet paper, you are correct, we only provide upon arrival. Furthermore if you were not pleased or if the cleaning was not up to your standards you could have contact us and we would be more than happy to help. Secondly, about the location we are on a very good spot for the natural and quiet beaches of the island and also close to the best surfing area of Naxos. But I understand that everybody has their own interests and probably we were away from yours. About the reception desk, the owners son is almost all the time at the studios but he doesn't stand on the desk all day in order to give you more privacy. Again you could have contacted us and in 1 minute he would be there for you (or you could find him around the studios) As for the lights, we have a solar sensor that opens the light upon sunset and closes them upon sunrise. We have lights in every pathway and wall. The only place we don't have lighting is at the garden and in general places that don't have a wall or something to put a lamp on. Lastly, we accepted to help you with the luggage for free out of our good will and because we want to be helpful in any way. And we did. We went out of our way and arranged someone to pick the luggage for you and take them to the bus station. I know that for fact because they commented us about a big luggage you had that made impression also to me upon your arrival. As for the price it was 33 euros per night per person (as you booked a 3 person capacity despite being only 2) on the busiest period of summer, which if you checked with other hotels, it was one of the most competitive prices. For you it was 50 euros per night (because again you were 2 people instead of 3 that the room has the capacity for) which still was a competitive price, that's also the reason you booked with us. Nevertheless we hope you had a great time in Naxos and hope you visit the island again.

Verified reviewNice pool and beautiful farm. A nice spot if you want to have a quiet vacation in nature
The place looks better in pictures. There was no water one of the days we stayed. Probably maintenance. Nice people but I don't think they understood me or my English well 🙂
We are sorry to hear that you were displeased with our Studios. The pictures of the room you chose were indeed different because we renovated it. Instead of a wooden bed and wooden bedside tables, we now have built ones with led lighting under the bed. We also added hanging lights. We didn't refresh the photos because we finished renovations close to your arrival. If you can please specify to us through a message the differences that you disliked we would be grateful as we are eager to change for the better. It is true and we are really sorry that there wasn't water for a day because of a damage to the main water line of the area and the slow municipality response to the problem. For the English we try our best to understand everyone but we urge our guests to send us messages through booking.com and use the in-built translator for better understanding and to avoid miscommunication. We hope that it didn't affect your holidays and we are glad you spent your vacation with us. Hope to see you again in the future.

Verified reviewRoom was very spacious and clean. Cleaners did an amazing job at the cleaning each day, always came home to the room being spotless. Staff we're incredibly accommodating, giving plenty of advice and tips and gave speedy answers to any and all questions that we had. More than enough space for parking. Pool was also beautiful. Definitely would return.
Location was a bit further away from the main town (Chora) but that's just due to lack of research on my behalf. Would definitely recommend renting a car as it makes things a lot easier when travelling the island as there isn't too much facilities within walking distance. However a car is definitely necessary regardless as you need to explore the vast island.

Verified reviewManolis Studios is a peaceful place with amazing views and a lovely bucolic setting. The room was nice and clean, the bed very comfortable and the balcony was incredible, with a perfect view on Mikri Vigla and Kastraki beach and good quality table and chairs. You can have a stunning sunset show from the balcony facing the sea. The swimming pool is large and very clean. You can relax on very comfortable sunbeds. All around is calm and peaceful, there are a few nice rabbits and chickens nearby. A beautiful Bougainville was covering part of the building, absolutely stunning! The staff is incredibly supportive and very kind. This place exceeded my expectations and I recommend you give it a try.

Verified reviewExceptionally clean - daily room service. Simple but fully functional apartment design. Well-kept and nicely maintained garden with many plants and lots of shade. Amazing swimming pool (deep and spacious). Sunbeds can be placed under the covered patio that provides shade all day. Very friendly staff - if needed, someone can always be found.
Some additional kitchen utensils (pots, plates, knives, cutlery) would be welcome.
