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 reviewExcellent location, just a few steps from ferry. Comfortable, stylish, silent room, very well equipped. Lovely housekeeping lady. We've had a different breakfast each day complimentary at their Isalos Cafe. Excellent food & service.
Nothing really. Perhaps mosquito net can be added to their garden room window. There were no mosquitos though :) during our 4 days stay.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are looking forward to accommodate you again There is a mosquito net in both windows

Verified reviewThe place was clean (though the rest room has a disguting smell from the sewer).
We booked the place to relax a couple of days (from our main stay in Athens). The island itself is very beautiful and quiet. We booked this place and paid extra money for the expensive room with a balcony overlooking the water. But both days there were so much noise from workers on the street that we were woken up early. We could not sit in the cafe and enjoy the mediocre breakfast without getting a headache. And we obviously could not use the balcony. None of this was commented or done anything with. When I wrote to them some days after the visit (when asked to review the place via booking.com), I told the hotel and Booking.com about the problem. Booking.com refuse to do anything about it. The hotel admitted everything and instead of reimbursing us (for just one of the two nights as I suggested), they offered us another night at the hotel in the future. Obviously we are not coming back (we live in Denmark), so this "offer" is really worthless to us. I told them that, but they do not care. Make sure you dont live her - even without the noise it is only mediocre and not worth the price. But enjoy Hydra, which is a very beautiful island.
Dear Sir, We are really sorry for your frustration The problem occurred during your stay because of the municipality constructions that we didn’t have any notice Your stay was in our double room, but finally there were 3 people staying without any extra charge! We offered you the same stay all included, not just breakfast, any time you prefer, for the next 5 years You refused and said that you are going to give us a bad review if we will not refund!!! And you did Thank you for your review Wish you all the best

Verified reviewBeautiful room and view. Outstanding location, right at the ferry dock on the harbor. Friendly and helpful staff, particularly George. Fantastic restaurant, Isalos.
The bathroom in our room was very tight for 2 people. No privacy when you’re on the toilet. Shower is not enclosed, so the rest of the bathroom gets a bit wet. Would still come back because the rest of the experience was great.

Verified reviewgreat view of the harbour, directly above one of the restaurants where you get the best breakfast I had in my travels through the Islands. super comfy cocomat bed.
the en suite is a large glass shower cubicle so you really wouldn't want to share the room with anyone unless you're used to using the toilet in front of them.
