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.).

CroatiaEverything was great for us, but those who are light sleepers should know that right next to the hotel there are many bars and cafes with outdoor seating, so it can be little noisy at night (that's why you get earplugs).
Great location, hotel is very close to all attractions by foot, metro is only 3 minutes away (direct line to airport), market store is also around the corner. At first, street looks little bit like ghetto, however that's really not the case, it is perfectly safe and the street is very much alive all the time and has very casual, artistic vibe. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they speak English perfectly. We had coffee machine in our room, with coffee and tee bags. We also got bottled water each day. There are slippers and earplugs for use as well. Everything was very clean. Bed was comfortable. We arrived early, left our bags in hotel and when we came back our bags were waiting for us in the room, which was really nice surprise. Breakfast was great, it was served on top floor till 11 (so you don't need to get up early). They have zero waste policy, so they don't prepare a lot of food in advance, but you won't be hungry, because they fill in all the time. You can also order few additional dishes (like omelettes) and they prepare it for you, those portions are big and tasty.

Location is so central to everything. Hotel is everything you need for a short break. There are a couple of lively bars just outside the hotel which we loved but others may find intrusive. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.

AustraliaThis boutique hotel is in an area very close to the main Plaka area in Athens, It is lively in the evenings mainly frequented by the younger set. We had read that it could be noisy at night but we didn't hear a thing. There is a nice bar next door with the cheapest drinks in Europe. Breakfast here was exceptional - we enjoyed chatting with Irini each morning and she made us scrambled eggs. Plenty of choices. Reception staff were lovely also and nothing was too much trouble.

The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast (i highly recommend vasilia's delicious omlettes and salads) and the convenient location, which made exploring the city very easy.

BelgiumBecause of the good location, the street can be noisy. The hotel anticipated already on this issue by providing earplugs in te room. However for me, the noise wasn’t really an issue. Slept right through it. But it could be a problem for difficult sleepers.
Perfect location. Very friendly staff. They even ordered a take away breakfast for me, because I had to leave really early in the morning. The room had a very nice interior.

United KingdomI could be very picky and request more variety at breakfast, which was basic but adequate for our needs. Otherwise, I would recommend the hotel for a short stay.
The hotel is very centrally located and very well presented being clean and spacious. I particularly liked to room which was uniquely decorated but very much in keeping with the neighbourhood. Situated in an eclectic part of the city, the hotel is very near to the nightlife which means it can be noisy. That said we did get a good nights sleep and weren't bothered by the bars and music outside. The hotel is also ideally located to see the sights of Athens with all places of significance within walking distance. Great place to stay for young couples. Staff were amazing, especially Crystal at reception who was very welcoming and looked after us well.

ItalyGreat location, near to Monastiraki subway, a supermarket and the main street of shopping. Our room was really clean, well equipped and with all the necessary amenities. Staff was nice, caring and helpful. The hotel is surrounded by lots of clubs which may be noisy at night but we managed to sleep well even though music was a little loud especially on Friday night. Breakfast services could be better organized ( both me and other guests had to ask for knives, forks etc....) but in any case food was good. Highly recommended!

GreeceThe breakfast had limited variety, but it was tasty. What really dissapointed us was the cleaning of the room. The cleaning crew emptied the trash bins, left clean towels and new amenities and nothing else. The toilet was not cleaned, they didn't even make the bed. We never had such experience in any other hotel.
Excellent location, in the heart of Athens and very close to historical, cultural and entertainment options for day and night. Interesting aesthetics in the building and the rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable. We saw the reviews about the noise during the night from the bars, but we faced no problem whatsoever. Our room on the third floor was very soundproof.
