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 reviewWe enjoyed our stay, the kitchen was tidy, had everything we needed and multiple bathrooms were all spotless. The room was very clean, spacious and the air-conditioning was a blessing. The metro station is super close and many other places can easily be reached on foot.
The neighborhood seems a bit sketchy but we had no problems walking back at night.

Large white stains on my towels. It said private bathroom and it was a shared one. Long black hairs throughout the bed and in the towels and sheets
Dear Kalisi, You seem to have reading comprehension issues. Not 100% sure. This is a copy of your reservation. .......Large double room with shared bathroom (room 4)........ So tell me where it says you have a private bathroom????? Because I didn't find that information in your reservation, nor did I promise you such a room in private correspondence. For 12 years of running the rental business, NO ONE has ever found any white stains on the towels (we have our own laundry, so we make our own selections, we are a family business, so each of us does it for ourselves) You also write that you found a lot of long black hairs on the bed sheets. This is also the first comment from 12 guests, so thank you for your comment, although I don't believe that's the case. Why don't I? Because if you did, you would have reported it immediately, and we had a pleasant conversation throughout our stay, both in person and via chat.

Verified reviewComfortable, good bathrooms, and good value.
Had to wait outside for half an hour before the host let us in.
Thank you for your opinion. You forgot to add that you changed the check-in time. We understand that it was not your fault. It is a pity that you do not understand that we did not have only you to check in at that time.

Verified reviewA beautiful apartment in a central location.
Any change from what is stated on the website is subject to an additional fee.
Thank you for your review. I sent you a message on chat and I want to use it to describe the change which you are accusing .... Dear guests. Good morning. It’s Izabela here, owner. I got informed by manager, that’s you’re not satisfied from our personel service and informed that you’re going to write a review about it. I assume that you are not aware that we did not have a obligation to check you in at 4:30 am. First, you did not provide us an update about new arrival time. Last update from was containing information that you’re going to arrive between 23 to midnight. The girl from staff waited for you even after original requested check in time, until 2 am. We tried to contact you, but nobody picked up the phone. My manager decided to exceptionally, on his own, go and check you in at very late hour, even if it’s breaking the night quiet rules in the property. It was his out of work time. I would not do this as you never updated us about being late 4 hours. Second thing, in total 2 persons were involved in the check in process, the girl which was waiting until 2 am and also the manager, which checked you in finally at 4:30. You did not want to pay extra 10 euro for second person, which means that one person will not get paid for extra effort to let you check in even later than originally requested. You informed that it’s not written on booking.com. Dear guests, by renting a property with no reception with last check in until 23, it should be appreciated by you, that we waited until 2am and at 4am you woke up the manager, requesting somebody to come and check you in. We broken our own roles regarding late check-in requests and quiet time at property, which was not appreciated by you. Informing us, that you will write a dedicated review on booking.com ( I assume, a bad one ) it’s from your end very thankless and it’s showing your disrespect for our time, good will and commitment. Whole situation I will consult with our mutual partner, booking.com platform. The 10 euro for first girl waiting for you after your requested check in time will be paid from my pocket, as I’m respectful to my employees and their best effort to help our customers in the best possible way. Also let me provide you a small tip for future, as I also got informed that you were surprised that the bathroom’s and kitchens are shared. I double checked that and in rooms both name and description it’s clearly written that it’s quadruple room with shared bathroom, economy type. Everything is written up front on our main page on Booking.con and it’s visible before the reservation is paid and confirmed, also the information that last check in time is until 23. Please next time, read carefully description of the room/apartment instead of only checking the low price. Kind regards, Petaluda House owner, Izabela Gornikiewicz.

Verified reviewGreat apartment. Excellent value. The only problem is it is very difficult to find the place. There is no sign in the lobby or above the door telling you where it is. I asked at least ten people in the building until I luckily found someone staying there
Dear guests. Out of as many guests as we receive, there is rarely anyone who does not see the directions and markings. After me, you tried to ask. Except that it was hard for us to communicate because you do not know English. Maybe that was the problem. Best regards

Verified reviewCleanliness and location
The host could have been more specific that the property somehow does not have a reception area and they need to be notified exactly the time to meet the guests.
Dear guests. For some reason you did not read the description of the property. It is clearly written there. THE PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE A RECEPTION AND ASKS FOR A CHECK-IN TIME.

Verified reviewI was a bit worried about this accommodation but it blew me away. Why? SUPER clean (and I mean Super Clean) and in very good repair. These units are very professionally run and maintained. It was simple but all that I wanted or needed. Location was only a few feet from a park and subway station. Within 2 blocks great bakeries and coffee as well as 3 small grocery stores, restaurants etc. At night the area is a little sketchy. Heart of Athens is aprox. 10 minutes by subway and 45-60 minute walk. GREAT Value. Would Highly recommend!
Not the best location, but not terrible. At night the area is a little sketchy. Heart of Athens is aprox. 10 minutes by subway and 45-60 minute walk.

Verified reviewThis accomodation was near the train station and close to the city centre. Big room with enough space and equiped kitchen.
It was very busy and questionable surroudings near the accomodation with suspicious-looking people, mostly immigrants, drug sellers.. not feel very safe. We had to wait on this street, no bell or name of the the accomodation at the entrance, no one answered the phone. After some time any man came (i dont know who, maybe any employee) and we had to go to the another apartment nearby, because some defect. Another apartment was fine, but next day about 5:30 we were leaving, we closed the flat door and left the keys in the flat, as the man had told us the previous evening. But there was no handle on the front door to the building, so we were trapped in the stairwell!! Because of the lack of time, we had to take a train to the airport, we had to wake up some sleeping resident and he opened for as. I dont understand why didn't someone warn us about this...
Something can happen in every facility. In such a case, we can easily cancel the guest's reservation, even at the last minute. However, we always try to help. And when I read your opinion, I am convinced that it is a mistake. If I had canceled your reservation, instead of looking for accommodation for you for these few hours (you arrived at 9 p.m. and left at 5:30 a.m.), this opinion would not have been written. As for the handle. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. No one has ever reported a similar problem there.

Verified reviewVery nice location (I loved the district, as it's a very easygoing one!) and well connected; good quality flat, definitely cleant even if shared; full equipped; very kind staff and flexible check-in/out! Very comfortable kitchen for guests' use and respectful clients.
I relized the house has got double glazed windows everywhere (even into the bathroom and the kitchen) except in the room that should be maybe the living room, used as an extra bedroom: in fact, that was a "triple room" (or at least twin) the staff gave me for single use, as I was travelling alone and they had the room still available when I booked. I very appreciated it "aesthetically" (it's huge, with a nice balcony, comfortable bed, good desk, etc.), but I didn't very like that it was facing to the main street and the bars square with no double glazed windows! As I'm a light sleeper, I required a silent room... and giving me the one that is facing the street with only single glazed windows wasn't the best choise.
Dear Valentina As you wrote, the room was available, so you booked it. And now you write that you didn't like it because the windows overlooked the square. In the room description, everything is described in detail. There are even photos from the window overlooking the square. So you had a choice. You could not have booked that room. It's great that you checked all the windows in the facility. It's a pity that you didn't notice the blinds in your room, which make the room quieter when you leave it. No one from the staff assigned you a room. You got the EXACTLY ONE you booked.
