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.).

Honestly not happy at all. When we got there no one helped with our bags, and we had to carry everything up several steps just to get to the lifts which was already annoying ! Then we get to the room and wow, it was so small. Like, really small. Could hardly move around and the bathroom was even worse – super tight space, barely room to turn around. No space for luggage anywhere, we just had to leave our bags in the middle of the floor. Also no welcome drink or even water, and not even a kettle to make a cup of tea. Not a good experience. Would not stay again. Pictures were not a true reflection of the 2 rooms we were given . Other photos of larger rooms were used to market the kennels we were in
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to read that your stay did not meet your expectations. We would like to kindly clarify a few points: You booked one of our rooms at €50 per person, which is among the most affordable options in central Athens. These rooms are designed to be simple and compact, but they still include all the essentials, as reflected in the photos of this specific room category. The larger rooms you mentioned are indeed available, but at a higher rate. Both of the rooms you were allocated offered direct views of the Acropolis, which many of our guests consider a highlight of their stay. While kettles are not standard in every room, they are available upon request at reception, and our team would have gladly provided one had we known. Regarding luggage assistance, as a two-star property, we do not have dedicated bell service, but our reception team is always available to assist when asked. We do regret that you left disappointed and will use your feedback to further improve. That said, we encourage future guests to carefully review the specific room type they are booking to ensure it matches their expectations. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Verified reviewFabulous location and friendly helpful staff. The view from my room was sensational.
Couldn’t leave aircon on when away from room as key card needed to activate electricity, consequently room was hot when returning to it and also fridge didn’t work without key card being in place, so things in fridge didn’t stay cold.

Verified reviewThe location of this hotel is hard to beat. Right next to many restaurants and the Acropolis. It's also well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff we very friendly and helped us with everything from holding our bags to throwing out an old suitcase. There was also a lovely breakfast on the roof with a beautiful view, and the omelets were made by a very friendly woman who spoke no English. I'd highly recommend trying the breakfast at least once.
The rooms are small, but we had a great view every time. There was also a nice balcony. If you have kids you may feel cramped, or need to book multiple rooms. For us it was perfect though.

Verified reviewThe location of the Is hotel is fantastic. Step out & you’re in the heart of it all. Cafes, restaurants, the mall, commercial shops & supermarkets. The vibe is high. We walked to the Acropolis 20 minutes & had breakfast at a cafe nearby to it. Cafes don’t open till after 8am so we were lucky to find one near the south entrance. Our room was quite small & so the bathroom. But it suited our stay. We had a little balcony with a perfect view of the Acropolis. Beautiful church across the road. Cafes & restaurants are open late but the noise was ok. Staff are very friendly.
All good.
