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 just outside the busyness of the plaka with a stunning view.
Be careful with google maps. It takes you close, but not close enough. (A lane below our final destination) we called Mirto our host who arrived immediately.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, whose hospitality truly sets this guest house apart. They were not only friendly but went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, even offering to assist with laundry—a thoughtful touch that showcases their dedication to guest satisfaction.One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning view from the balcony, which overlooked the picturesque town and the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Watching everything from our private space was a truly magical experience, making it an unforgettable part of our Milos adventure.Prickly Pear House is situated within walking distance to local attractions, restaurants, and shops, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of Plaka effortlessly. The quiet neighborhood offered peace and tranquility, making it a perfect sanctuary yet close enough to the lively areas of the island. Overall, our experience at Prickly Pear House was perfect. The combination of exceptional hospitality, clean and comfortable accommodations, and a stunning location makes this guest house a top recommendation for anyone visiting Milos. We left with wonderful memories and a desire to return soon. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway infused with warmth and beauty, Prickly Pear House is the ideal choice. Highly recommended!

The bed was atrocious. It felt like the base of a bed. We had to leave. Didn't sleep all night.

Verified reviewThe location was great - easy walking distance into town.
We’re sorry to say we were really disappointed with this accommodation. The bed was extremely uncomfortable - we barely slept the first night and later discovered that the bed slats had shifted, leaving no support in the middle. The overall cleanliness wasn’t great, e.g. the coffee machine and the floors pictured and there was a faint smell of tobacco throughout the space. We also hadn’t realised from the listing that our bathroom was separate from the room - which would have been fine except the outside terrace was shared with others, which made the whole setup feel quite lacking in privacy. One of the main reasons we chose this place, was because of the garden pictured in the photos but that garden actually belongs to a different apartment and was being used by another family. So the small part of the property you have access to is a communal space - which wasn’t clearly explained in the listing. The location, however, is a definite plus, just a short walk into town - but overall, the property didn’t match our expectations or the way it was presented online.

Verified reviewThe location was incredible. Just a short stroll up to Plaka Village meant this was the perfect place to base ourselves for our first Milos adventure. The little kitchen saved us from eating out all the time and had everything that we needed. And great communication with our host. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewExactly as advertised. The room is small but everything is fine and the location is perfect. Free parking is useful, despite it being up a big hill! Lovely view over Milos from the front door/terrace area. The host was very welcoming and friendly, plus helped us when we got lost financing the property.
Nothing, it is as advertised, no surprises!

Verified reviewThe host was wonderful and gave us several amazing recommendations over the course of our stay. This property is also located proximate to some great restaurants and bars, so it's ideal for exploring nightlife in Plaka. I would highly recommend these accommodations as an affordable option.
The beds were a bit hard, but I found that to be standard in Greece.

Verified reviewThis property truly was unbeatable, I couldn’t fault it. It had every amenity you needed for a stay in Milos, right down to the pegs on the clothes horse. It also was situated in the best possible spot on the island. We were able to easily stroll to Plaka for dinners in the evening or to watch the sunset from the castle & we’re close to every other island hotspot during the day via our ATV rental. There was also free, private parking for the ATV at the end of the driveway from the property which was so easy. The host went above and beyond with so many things & really looked after her guests, with recommendations on where to go on the island, too spots to eat etc. one of a kind stays & I couldn’t recommend here enough.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, in Plaka and a stones throw from restaurants, shops and sunset views but very quiet. Our host, Mirta, couldn't have been more helpful or kind. We loved the homemade chutney gifted to us! The bed was comfortable, the room well equipped, the outdoor space was great with beautiful sunrise views. Parking is nearby in Plaka's car park and also near the bus stop. We loved our stay and would recommend!
The only thing missing was a few hooks or somewhere to hang clothes.
