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 reviewAn unforgettable stay at Villa Elea! We had the best time at Villa Elea in Lithakia, Zakynthos with our group of friends. The villa is beautiful and the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming , truly above and beyond. The pool area is perfect, with plenty of sunbeds, both sun and shade, and a cozy outdoor seating spot where you can relax in privacy. Inside, there are enough showers, a great kitchen, and the bedrooms are super comfortable with blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep. We can’t recommend this place enough and would love to come back!
There’s really nothing to fault, except we recommend renting a car, as most places aren’t within walking distance.
Floor and her friends were absolutely wonderful guests! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a kind, warm, and positive energy to our villa. Super friendly, easygoing, respectful, and incredibly thoughtful throughout their stay. They left our villa sparkling clean and were so easy to communicate with—just genuinely lovely people. It was a complete joy to host them, and we’d welcome them back in a heartbeat. Truly the kind of guests every host dreams of! Floor and friends, you ALWAYS have friends in Zakynthos!

Verified reviewamazing stay with me and my 9 friends for our first holiday together, the hosts were absolutely lovely and attentive replied to messages fast and ensured the villa was kept clean even with the mess of 10 young girls and helped provide reccomendations and translations for anything we didn’t understand. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, would highly recommend
Mia and her party were amazing guests. They treated our villa like their own. We recommend them to any host. Thank you so much Mia. Hopefully we will see you again. All our best Giannis & Marla

Verified reviewPrivacy and pool
Cats, cat faeces in bbq and bread oven, causing a dreadful smell, flys, not enough beds for 10 people in need of updates and electrical maintenance, not enough bathrooms for 10 people, must say that the cats were dealt with by owners and faeces cleaned up,
Thank you for your review. However we are obligated to our next guests in the future to clarify some comments because they are not accurate. First, the villa accommodates 10 persons comfortably. Also we can welcome 2 extra persons, with limited privacy, on 2 single extra beds in the living room. You can check other reviews with large parties about their comfort and our accommodation. The villa was ready for Catherine for 11 persons, as there was 9 adults and 2 babies in her party. Also, on the third day of her stay, we placed an additional single bed in the house for them. The villa, as always advertised, has 2 full bathrooms, a 1/2 bath, as well as an outdoor shower (hot/cold water). This is the first time a guest has mentioned that there are not enough bathrooms for 10 guests. Upon Catherine informing us of kittens on the property and feces, within a half hour, we removed them and the entire bbq area was cleaned spotless with bleach. We want to, of course, apologize for this and can assure any future guests this will not be an issue. Finally, the villa is deep cleaned professionally as well as trash removal from us every 2 days. We also have an insect fumigation certificate. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative during their stay, as it rained often (rare during September) which means the outside area was a challenge to keep spotless and dry, as we always have it. Again, we want to thank Catherine and her lovely family for staying with us. This review does not reflect us or our villa. We want to assure the next guests that we are a family business and we are always a phone call away, 24 hours a day, to ensure all needs are met. We treat every guest like family! We would like to invite all guests to take a moment to read all of our reviews, through the years, so that you have a holistic picture of who we truly are and what our villa offers. Sincerely, Giannis & Marla Villa Elea

Verified reviewThe villa is absolutely beautiful, and the hosts Giannis and Marla were so lovely and helpful, giving us amazing recommendations for local attractions and food. The amenities at the villa were amazing, and there was more than enough space for the 10 of us that went (we were also frequently visited by some adorable kittens belonging to the host's parents!). The location was great (just a 5/10 minute drive from laganas strip), and Giannis provided us with the phone numbers of affordable local taxi services. Overall an amazing trip, we couldn't have asked for more.
The only small issue we had was with a small power outage one evening, however it was solved within an hour after a quick message to the amazing host, who was so helpful.
Amy and her friends were amazing guests..Totally recommended. We hope to see you again. Thank you so much Amy. All our best Giannis & Marla

Verified reviewJust everything really the pool, the pool house with it's kitchen was spot on the bedrooms where lovely clean and comfy what more could you ask for. The owners couldn't do enough for us, even sorting our taxi out on one day because I struggled to speak the language I recommend the boat tour which was great even though we had a couple of people who suffer with sea sickness they reassured us they would add more stops in and it worked we didn't feed the fish lol
Nothing! if I came again I would hire a car because the heat in July is too much to walk anywhere.
