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 might well be in my top 3 places to stay. - Location close to the road so super easy to drive anywhere. Dedicated parking inside the gates, long driveway so no noise in the house. - 5 min to Karpathos town, a supermarket nearby. - Outdoor space with a pool and a view is large and comfortable to be in. No close neighbors so the place really feels your own - great for escaping a big city…or just stargazing. - The interior looks very traditional, with quite peculiar space separation (arches and raised podiums instead of beds) and lovely decor (some Greek string instrument, Singer sewing machine, photos etc). - Large kitchen with all the essentials. - Two bathrooms, yay! - Three ACs (albeit the one in the living room was acting up).
These are minor points: - There are no doors between kitchen, bedroom and the living room - it’s a part of that traditional layout, but also means that sleeping when someone’s up can be difficult. - A number of stray cats love the place. They are cute but also needy and can be annoying at times. Whatever their meowing conveys, they AREN’T starving or in need of food. - Ants are around and will find unpacked food in no time, stow everything away. - A dishwasher could have been handy.

Verified reviewThere's a nice view to the sea and mountain. The pool is a good size in direct sunlight all day, and the area is very private. There's plenty of space to park your car if you rent one. There are two bathrooms with showers. Many cute cats visit the house frequently. The host is super nice and very responsive. You get a feel for local life in the area as it's a bit detached from the main tourist hotels. Great air conditioning (separate in each room).
It's a bit of a walk to restaurants and the return trip is all uphill. A personal preference, but for me the beds weren't great and pillows were too high. The stream in the main shower could be more even. There's no good place to put the sunbed if you want to stay in the shade, and no cover at all from rain if you wanted to stay outside when it rains (although it doesn't rain often anyway).
