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...).

United KingdomCould not fault the entire stay.
Spectacular location with private access to a beach no more than a hundred yards from property. Located approximately 1 mile from the main town on the island, Vathi. Our room had a balcony overlooking the beach.

United States of AmericaThe only minor change I would suggest is to place a topper on the beds for increased softness.
View of Dexa Bay was unparalleled. Being so close to Vathi without being in the bustle of the city was unique as far as I can tell from the rental options. This was exactly the vacation we had hoped for. Also, you can walk to Dexa beach, enjoy exercise in the olive grove or swim in the sea, literally in your front yard. Location is the crowning jewel of this property. Hosts had perfect mix of attentiveness: polite, available and unobtrusive. Daily room service was unexpected and helpful. I will be recommending this property in my travel review to be published on Thatch.

United Kingdomthe location is amazing. The apartment is clean and functional. The views from the balconies are as good if not better than apartments twice the price. The little beach was clean, quiet and shaded by amazing olive trees not being a two minute walk from your front door. Our hosts were always at hand with great contact should you require anything.

United KingdomYou do need a car or be willing to get a taxi to go out for dinner as the walk into Vathy wasn’t very safe after dark (no pavements and a windy road). No closer tavernas aside from the beach bar during the day with limited menu.
The location was excellent, just above a pebble beach with calm sea and a wonderful setting for swimming. Lovely views. Our apartment was very clean and well maintained. The host was very pleasant and helpful. Air conditioning & WiFi.

United KingdomIf you are on the first floor (as our apartment was), you will experience some noise from the apartments above. While the location is great for the beach, you will need a taxi (fairly cheap) or a car to go anywhere else. The road into Vathy (the nearest town) is narrow and busy with no pavement and not at all suitable to walk along, especially in the evening.
Large well-equipped apartment with lots of storage and excellent air conditioning. Great views. Very comfortable beds. Large fridge freezer, hob, grill and oven. Apartment is very close to the lovely beach (approx 100m) with direct access from the accommodation. The beach is safe for swimming for all ages. Sunbeds are free of charge for Forkis guests. Lots of olive trees for shade. Panos the apartment owner operates a great beach bar with a good choice of drinks and fresh home-cooked traditional Greek food. The owners live on site and were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay.

Fantastic location sat in super grounds right next to the sea. The apartment was comfy and well set out for self catering. We had a fabulous 5 day stay here and if we ever return to Ithaca then Forkis apartments will be our choice of accommodation.
