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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaPetros, Sophia and their beautiful family were beyond welcoming for me during my stay. I was warmly welcomed by Petros who picked me up from the airport, and gave me a quick tour of the nearby Zakynthos town. The accommodation facilities were spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable. I can't recommend this place enough, and the island of Zakynthos is truely amazing! Thank you for such a memorable experience :)

United KingdomA lovely room with the loveliest family hosts. They couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful if they tried. The owner picked us up from the airport and drove us to a nearby town at night. They gave us recommendations on what to do, booked us taxis and the owner also ran is into the Zakynthos town square on our last night before giving us a lift to the port for our ferry at 6am.

CanadaEverything was beyond our expectations
We had such a fantastic time staying at the apartment! It was beautifully designed, incredibly cozy, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home, and the location was ideal—close to everything we wanted to explore. We’ll definitely be recommending it to friends! Our frendly hosts and their beautiful children made our stay exceptional!

United KingdomStaying with Petros and Sophia felt like visiting family. They're warm and genuine, and you instantly feel at home. Our room was ultra-clean — seriously the cleanest I’ve ever experienced. The room was cleaned, and bed linen and fresh towels changed every second day. Tucked away from the main road, the place is quiet, private, and perfect for de‑stressing. Ideal for families and people who want quiet, yet just a short bike/car ride from Zakynthos town.

United KingdomNothing really. Be aware that this is not in the town. You could walk it in 40 minutes if reasonably fit. I would advise hiring a car though. Petros very willing to give guests lifts!
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Very clean. Good air-conditioning. Shower warm and good pressure. Easy to park your rental car. Small shop at the end of the road for bread, milk etc. Walking distance to zakinthos town, as long as you don't mind hills!

We didn't have a car, but Petros kindly offered us a lift to the town or nearby places and also from and to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. The area is nice and quiet. There is a beach and supermarkets within 30 minutes of walk. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we were to visit the island again.

TurkeyWe had a wonderful stay there! The property is run by a lovely family who made us feel at home. Petros picked us up from the airport and the whole family was always very helpful and ready to help us. Sofia, his wife, is a sweet lady who takes impeccable care of the rooms which are spotless. All the rooms have a small kitchen inside,supplied with the necessary.The property is located about two kilometers from the center, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. A car is necessary if you want to discover the island better and reach the center in the evening. We couldn't have had a better stay. Highly recommended!

SpainPhiloxenia, literally translated as a “friend to a stranger,” is widely perceived to be synonymous to hospitality. For Greeks, however, it is much deeper than that. It is an unspoken cultural law that expresses generosity and courtesy to strangers. This is what i experimented through Petros & Sofia's hospitality and care. I feel so welcomed, so taken care of. Petros was generous enough with his time that he dropped me off and picked me up wherever i needed in the island to spend the day, he brought me to the airport, and dropped me there as if were a part of his family. I've spent very little time in this beautiful place but its been so meaningful and special, and his family is adorable. The place was so clean, so full of details and there's so much work and intention put into the place, that i will 1000% come back and stay a week just to be in this lovely environment that no 5 star hotel can match. Petros, Sofia, I'm honored by your generosity, heart and hard work. Its been an honor to meet you, and i will be back. Thank you!

It's a family run business, Petros and Sofia make you feel at home and go above and beyond to make your stay as best as possible. We had an issue with the taxis, and Petros had drove us to Zante town. I can't recommend them enough!

United KingdomEverything was exceptional. I can't fault a single thing.
Everything from start to finish was beyond exceptional. Staying here didn't feel like a hotel, it felt like a home. Petros, Sofia, and their family welcomed me in an incredible way. I've travelled all around Greece and never experienced this level of hospitality - they truly embrace 'filoxenia'. From picking me up at the airport, dropping me in town, and making me frappes every morning, Petros and his family are the most amazing hosts. The hotel is exceptionally clean - the sheets and towels were changed every two days - the surroundings are beautiful (a lovely new pool), and the room had all the facilities you'd need with a massive balcony that had an amazing view. The shower was always hot and the pressure was very strong! It's a good distance from the tourist town of Tsilivi and is walkable in 30 minutes. Stay here if you want to experience the true meaning of filoxenia. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!

Petros Giatras is a corner of heaven! For this accommodation I would give a score of 100 if I could! From the first minute I felt here at HOME here, at Petros Giatras! The hosts, Sofia and Petros and their wonderful children, welcomed me warmly ...They helped me with the transport from the port of Zakinthos to accommodation and upon departure, at the airport, because I didn't have a car. The room is very bright, clean and beautiful, nicely decorated , it is spacious, and has absolutely all the necessary facilities! From the lovely balcony of the room you have a wonderful view of the island, especially in the sunset lights. A large courtyard, garden, swimming pool..everything is beautifully arranged.. You can enjoy the entire Bochali area which is very beautiful. You can relax in peace here, at Petros-Giatras, enjoying all the comfort, especially the kindness of the hosts. Thank you, with gratitude, for everything! Gabriela

AustraliaRooms were clean and comfortable. Hosts were amazing!! They went out of their way to help us in every way possible. Pedros picked us up and dropped us back to the airport for free, dropped us in to town and picked us up from town on the days we didn’t have a scooter and helped us learn about the Greek culture, history and language. We were also surprised to a newly built pool which we didn’t know about when we booked the place which was just perfect to cool off in of an afternoon / night. Definitely recommend this place 😊
