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 reviewGreat location, perched between the windmills and the castle, offers easy access to both the main Chora stores and restaurants as well as the monumental castle and the bars higher up in the Chora. Popi, the studios owner and manager, is very hospitable, offers a ride to and from the ferry, a really nice breakfast, and is an excellent communicator overall providing nice tips and suggestions for newcomers

Verified reviewAmazing little hotel in the Chora of Astypalaia! Perfect location near the Castle and the main road where all the restaurants are, but mainly an amazing host that was super polite, helpful and prepared the best breakfast ever. Highly recommended!
You need to park your car about 10mins away from the hotel. Not easy to carry the luggage up to the hotel, but if you inform the host, she will pick you up with her own car and help you with this too!
Thank you so much Hope to see you again some time soon

Verified reviewWhere do I start? Our spotless apartment was equipped with everything. Roomy and cool, with a large dining table, seating area, good wifi for working and a super well equipped kitchen that opened to a pretty patio where we enjoyed eating the amazing breakfasts which were delivered every morning. Upstairs the bedroom was cool and quiet with a/c which wasn’t always necessary. We used the upstairs bathroom which had a fixed shower head above and great drainage. Best of all is the wonderful hospitality and kindness of our host. She made our stay feel like a holiday, taking care of us in the best possible way.
It was perfect
Thank you so much. Hope to have the opportunity to see you again some time in the future

Verified reviewPoppi is a great host, who kindly picked up me from the port with her car, and drove me there for the return. The studio was sparkling clear and I had some homemade cake as a welcome guest+ another as part of the delicious breakfast. The studio is fully equipped and well located in a calm and pictu area of the town, I wished I could gave stayed more!

Got picked up at port and she drove me back at 5:30 am. Speaks very good english, ... Could pay with card and she brought self baked stuff.

The steep climb to the property
We are in the centre of Chora which is situated on a hill . Even so, it is worth the climb.

Verified reviewFantastic location on the south west side of the castle. The view from the balcony was simply wonderful. It was a traditional Cycladic house with a double stone bed in the bedroom. Upstairs there was a fully equipped kitchen, with all the necessities, while it also functioned as a lounge-hall. The bedroom was huge at the bottom of the house and it was cool at night without having to use the air conditioner. The breakfast was very good prepared by our hostess. Popi a warm and smiling person, which in itself is a huge plus on the holiday, as she wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Being there is must...and we must go again!
Thank you

Verified reviewMy stay here was amazing! Popi was such an amazing host, so friendly and generous. Popi picked us up from the port and drove us up to the rooms which she really didn't have to do. Each morning a fresh breakfast was delivered to the door. I can't say enough about how welcoming and helpful Popi was. The rooms were very spacious and clean, the photos don't do it justice. Location was great, short walk to the square which has lots of cute restaurants and the bus stop. You can also walk to the Venetian castle up the hill to watch the sunset. I loved my stay here and would highly recommend Popi Studios!
Literally nothing, I had a very pleasant stay.
Thank you. I hope to see you again.

Verified reviewThe kindness of the host - Mrs Popi was very helpful , and I really appreciate that. She really took the extra mile , she waited for me at the port , the room was very clean and comfortable, and she had for me a freshly baked banana cake . I will be back to this beautiful 🦋 island and will chose this property again.
I have nothing to complain - it is real value for money
Thank you!
