Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere was no sink for washing up, we had to wash up in the bathroom sink, which was awkward. There was crockery and cutlery but no cooking facilities at all which didn't matter to us but could be important for others. The room was up a steep driveway and then upstairs so wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. It was also on the edge of town with a 5 minute walk alongside a road down a bit of a hill so you had to watch for traffic to get to the small stony beach. The walk into town was about 10 minutes where there was a good variety of restaurants along the seafront and a well stocked supermarket about 15/20 minutes walk.
Comfortable bed, nice quiet location outside of the town with a reasonable size balcony and good view. The owner has a number of cats but they never attempted to come in the room. The shower was lovely and hot and no curtain to fight with. There is a kettle to make hot drinks but no other cooking facilities. Our room was the only one upstairs and I don't know if the downstairs rooms were any better as they may have been bigger. There was a very good bar that did small meals and snacks just off the beach and 5 minutes from the accommodation. We also walked about 30 minutes right along the front to the next beach along the bay which was bigger and had more room for sitting out and had a very well stocked beach bar. The town had a good range of restaurants and there were places to hire day boats to take out and various day trip boats to the nearby island of Ithaca with swim stops and time on the island for lunch and souvenir shopping. The town is not noisy and we found it perfect for us.

United KingdomFacilities very sparse in comparison to other accommodation we stayed in on our trip. Would be good for the owners to put a welcome bottle of water in the fridge for guest’s. The aIr conditioning unit in bedroom was set at a fixed temp, which was ok as the outside night time temp was quite cool, in very hot weather the a/c would have been inadequate. Not shelf in shower to put on soap shampoo etc.
Good location, comfortable, spacious terrace , view to the sea, large parking area, shot walk into Sami town, powerful shower, plenty of hot water.

United KingdomThere was no shower curtain or screen in the bathroom. Given that there was no bracket on the wall to hold the shower head it was inevitable that water would travel beyond the shower tray as showering had to be done 'single handed'. A mop and bucket was provide to clean the floor after a shower had been taken!
The booking was on a room only basis.

United KingdomWhen we stayed last year we found the shower head only has a holder that is waist high and makes it difficult to shower holding it in one hand above your head. So problem solved this year we took a lightweight plastic shower holder which we fixed with the suction to hold the shower head in a higher position and it worked a treat. Could do with a toaster in the room and a bread knife. The only downside for the sky studio was that when it rains there is nowhere comfortable to sit. In the studio at the front it has a sofa and easy chair. There is some noise from the ferry through the night as they leave the engine running but it’s less noisy in the sky studio as they leave bedroom faces the back of the property. But when you stay near a port it is probably to be expected
We liked the Sky studio as it was a bigger kitchen and bathroom area than the studio we stayed in before, which was at the front of the property. Nice fridge, two ring hob and plenty of kitchenware. Lovely spacious terrace to sit out with table, chairs and umbrella to have shade when needed. Close to amenities. Easy walk to the town. Beach nearby but we prefer the beach stretch the other side of the harbour it has showers if you go for a swim and changing cubicles. We have been to Sami several times and never get tired of the views. We will more than likely return to Prince studios if we can get the sky studio again. The owner Giorgos is nice as are the rest of the family and he is easily contacted. A couple of mornings we had no hot water but it was resolved straight away.

United KingdomBed was hard. Kitchen had no work surface so impractical for any prep other than breakfast. Lack of hooks to hang things on.
Location perfect, close to the harbour area of Sami. Good parking on the property forecourt. Great outside terrace and lovey views. Sami is a great place to visit and this was a great base. Good WiFi. It was a beautiful building and our apartment was spacious.

United KingdomApartment “SKY” had no balcony and the advertised “sea view “ whilst brilliant, was only available by sitting on the chairs provided on an adjacent patio that was not very private. No hot water some mornings but always available in the evening. Sporadic WiFi availability throughout our 7 day stay. Proprietor “ George” pleasant but not very talkative.
Good location, clean and reasonably equipped.

The location of the property was good. It was close to the shops and also Antisamos was 5 minutes’ drive. The sea view from the balcony was very nice. The bed was quite comfortable.

United KingdomThe accommodation (named 'Sky') was rather smaller than anticipated. Having booked a studio apartment with sea view and balcony, I was surprised that it did not have a balcony or sea view but outside the door was a large public courtyard from which the sea and the ferry could be seen. Chairs and a large umbrella were available and no other guests used the area while we were there so it seemed much less public. We were able to take breakfast there as the kitchen was quite cramped. The kitchen cutlery was a random mixture and there was no spatula for fried eggs and similar. The bathroom did not have a functioning sink plug and there was only a single light bulb to shave by, the other bulb was inoperative. We would have mentioned it but we did not see any staff member again after arrival.
The building was in a quiet area a short walk from the busy waterside. Parking was adjacent to the room. We arrived earlier than anticipated and George was able to give us the room much earlier than arranged and this was appreciated.
