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 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):
- 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.).

Nothing I didn't like.
I had to book a last minute hotel room due to a delayed flight. I chose the Faros and I'm glad I did. It was quiet, comfortable and good value. The reception staff were very helpful.

Not a criticism of the hotel, but if you are rolling wheeled luggage, beware of the bumpy, wheel-damaging cobbles around Piraeus and leading up to the hotel.
Faros is a very affordable and comfy hotel in Piraeus, with good AC and WiFi, walking distance to the cruise ship terminal that serves the Athens area. Such a great location for cruise passengers and staff! Before check-in and after check-out, the friendly reception people kept my big luggage for me at lobby level.

Beds are hard. Everyone agreed that.
The location is close to the port. If yo are cruising, this is the perfect place. The staff is excellent and helpful. They recommended a great restaurant about 20 minutes away and a called taxis for us. Our party consisted of 4 couples. We ate breakfast there every morning, and the prices are low. They have outside tables, and that's where we ended the day. They have a full bar that includes popular brands of alcohol, local wines, and beer. Of course, Ouzo and raki are available. There is shopping nearby as well as small restaurants. Hop on Hop off bus stop is nearby. You'll need to use this if you want to get to the Acropolis and other ruins. These are about 40 minutes away. The buses run about very 20 minutes and are much cheaper than a taxi.

Our room was on the top floor (8th floor) and thus our water pressure was really bad, but I guess that cannot be helped in older buildings and the plumbing in Greece
The location is perfect, if you do any sea travel from Priaeus. Also it's located closely to the vibrant area center, as well as the old harbour with great restaurants, bars and shopping areas. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are simple, but comfortable and the staff is very friendly and forthcoming.

Nothing.
The location of the hotel between both the main ferry port and the nice yachting harbour of Piraeus is excellent - both easy walking. The nearby underground also takes you to Athens city and the airport. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, especially when we had to stay an extra night as flights cancelled. Very clean hotel and food (dinner and breakfast) was great too. We also had a balcony.

Neighbourhood - noisy and seedy surroundings, although good windows and shutters reduce the noise.
Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. We needed another night due to our ferry not departing, and they came through brilliantly.

Nothing to do with the property itself, but after we got off the bus (NAT bus stop), there were no taxis available (we called multiple times), so be prepared to walk a little bit if you can’t catch one.
Very clean. Extremely kind staff. Very helpful and attentive. Had great conversations with them while we had dinner downstairs. Great location near the port. We stayed one night only, as we only stayed to catch the ferry early the next morning. No complaints at all.
