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 are 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 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.).

It’s really well located. Bars, restaurants, the supermarket and the beach are really close. Breakfast is home made and fresh. Staff was kind and attentive.

United KingdomVery long wait for breakfast but I understand they were understaffed. When it arrived it was delicious.
Small hotel within walking distance of the port and beach, perfect for a few nights stay away from the main town. Lovely terrace to have breakfast on. Excellent value - we would stay here again!

GermanyNothing that I did not like. Everything was superb
The Property and host both is awesome. we were attended by katarina there. A big thanks to the staff that they offered us the breakfast 30 minutes before their scheduled time on request as we had an early morning ferry to catch. The breakfast was exceptional as mentioned in the website. Everything was fresh and tasty. It is worth in price of 7 euros with fresh juice, cakes and much more. I was amazed to see slippers in the room. They know each need of guest. Lightening in the roomm was perfect. Ac, WiFi was working fine. They even had nice hanger in the balcony to put cloths for drying. The quality and packing of shower gel was good. I stayed in a 4 star hotel in santorini and I can happily say that the service in Avra's Pension was much much better than the 4 star hotel in santorini even in much lower price.

New ZealandThe aircon was a bit old and could’ve been better but it still kept the room cool enough during the heat wave.
The host and staff at the property made our stay great. We loved staying at the port as you can walk to the hotel from your ferry. There is a nice beach a short walk away and lovely shops and restaurants too. The hotel was clean and comfortable and we would stay here again if back in Ios.

United KingdomRoom was on the smaller side, but essentially what we expected.
The accommodation was clean and well cared for. Beds were very comfortable with excellent pillows. Shower was hot and powerful. Breakfast was good and fairly priced. The host was considerate, present and kind. The accommodation is literally a couple of minutes walk from the harbour and the beaches.
