Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IsraelVery spacious and comfortable villa with a charming swimming pool. The design of the villa shows a lot of attention to the small details that make the stay truly enjoyable. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Beautiful beaches and scenery nearby. Warmly recommended. One of the best vacations we ever had.

United KingdomThe incredibly well maintained pool, all of the staff (from housekeeping to maintenance, management to the room service delivery) the great breakfast (delivered to your door in the morning) the fantastic hospitality, the beautiful villa -all the luxury of a hotel but with the space and privacy of a villa. The location - peaceful but close enough to the beach/shops/restaurants. Everything! From the second we booked until the time we left we were really impressed. After a very delayed arrival into Rhodes (as well as it being dark and not having driven on the left before 🤣) we got lost, Manuel called to see how we were getting on after our flight and upon telling him we were lost he told us to stay where we were whilst he sent someone out to guide us to our villa - within 2 minutes our angel arrived to direct us 🤣 From that point on nothing was too much trouble, the service we received was effortlessly fantastic. We’ve had an incredible holiday and won’t hesitate to return as well recommend it to everyone who will listen!

United KingdomWe booked a last minute stay after not being able to reach our original accommodation due to the wildfires in July '23. We couldn't have been more fortunate than to choose 12 island villas. The villa was spacious; 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a balcony with chairs and table and a covered terrace, as well as the garden and pool. The pool was approx 5m x 3m and 1.4m deep. We ordered breakfast online each day from a wide array of cooked and continental items, and it was brought to the door at 8.30 next morning. The appt and pool were serviced daily. The villas are detached, and while you have neighbours, the villas are offset and have walls / trees between, so there is plenty of privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed, including 2 coffee machines and toastie maker. There was a good menu for room service. Kolymbia town centre is 10 mins walk, there are plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. In the area there are multiple beaches; Grand Blue is great for snorkelling. You can also hike up some of the local hills; there is a monastery with views over (touristy but sandy and shallow) Tsambika beach, and the views from Kalimbia Rock are stunning. Overall, location excellent and accommodation fantastic.

United KingdomEverything was just lovely! The pool was a little smaller than expected as other villas had bigger pools but it was absolutely fine for the three of us. So there was nothing we did not like! Very difficult to find fault with anything!
This was just a fantastic holiday. The biggest thing that stood out for us was the friendliness of everyone and how they would go over and above to ensure all our needs were met and we never ever struggled with anything. We were overwhelmed with the family's generosity and would like to thank them for everything.

United KingdomWhere do I even begin to express my overwhelming joy and gratitude for the most incredible stay at the enchanting "12 Island Villas"? This heavenly retreat became the backdrop of a magical moment in my life—my proposal to the love of my life—and I owe it all to the exceptional owner, Manuel, who went above and beyond to make our experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The stunning beauty of the surroundings took our breath away as we stepped foot into our exquisite villa. The attention to detail in the design, the luxurious amenities, and the breathtaking views made us feel like we had stepped into a fairytale. But it was Manuel's exceptional kindness and dedication that truly made our stay extraordinary. His thoughtfulness was evident in every aspect of our experience. He anticipated our needs and desires, ensuring that every moment was filled with happiness and romance. From arranging a private candlelit dinner on the beach to surprising us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our special occasion, Manuel's personal touches were beyond compare. The proposal itself was an absolute dream come true. Manuel's expertise and knowledge of the area guided us to the most picturesque spot, where the sun kissed the ocean and the sky painted a canvas of vibrant hues. With his discreet assistance, everything was flawless, from the perfectly timed music to the scattering of rose petals that created an ethereal pathway for my fiancé. The moment she said "yes" will forever be etched in our hearts, and we have Manuel to thank for creating an atmosphere that exceeded our wildest dreams. The overall ambiance of the 12 Island Villas was a tranquil haven that allowed us to connect deeply with one another. Every day was filled with laughter, adventure, and pure bliss.

United KingdomThe property was lovely and kept very clean, great for what we needed! The location is great for families who want to stop in a quiet resort & it is only a short walk from the beach. Couldn’t fault any of the restaurants near by, the food was fab! We were very well looked after and nothing was too much too ask, being able to order breakfast on the app for whenever you liked was brilliant. The bus to Rhodes town is only €4 which is well worth a visit!

United KingdomHonestly - we can’t think of anything we didn’t like!
We arrived at 2330 and were met by the owner, in fact the mother of the family, who checked us in. This was swift and straightforward. She advised that her son would come and see us the next day; he arrived as promised, gave us lots of helpful local informations and then offered us a lift to the well stocked local supermarket, and waited for us there. Our villa was spacious and well equipped, with very good air conditioning which was most welcome.. Daily housekeeping and pool maintenance were friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Breakfast was included and was ordered via QR code on an app, and delivered every morning exactly at the time requested. The app could also be used for ordering Room Service, which we used a few times for dinner. This was great value and the portions were huge. Outside areas were clean and tidy, the pool was perfect and it was as easy to find an area in the shade as it was to find a sunny spot, at all times of the day. The rooms and beds were very comfortable, and the shutters on the doors were great for keeping the light and heat out. We used the washing machine and dishwasher a lot, these were both very useful. The location of the villas is ideal, on the edge of the village, close enough to bars and restaurants but just far enough for a peaceful undisturbed night’s sleep.

Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts, who couldn't do enough for us! Our flight was delayed and we arrived very late to the villa. We were met in minutes of arrival by Manuel's wonderful mother, who gave us such a warm welcome and had the fridge stocked. Manuel met us the following day who had arranged car hire for us and gave us all the tourist information we needed. Our Villa was spotless and had everything we needed and more. It is in the perfect location within walking distance to lovely restaurants and shops! Breakfast was delicious and delivered every moring to door by wonderful staff. The cleaning staff were amazing and always so lovely. The kitchen was very well equipped with coffee, tea and even provided washing powder!!! The bedrooms were perfect and had excellent air conditioning which was needed.😎 We couldn't have asked for anything more. The best Villa we have stayed in. Thank you so much Manuel and his Mum and all the staff of 12 Islands for making our holiday the best one yet! We can not wait to return. All your hard work was so appreciated!
