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 KingdomThe host was very helpful and kind. The accommodation comfortable and clean, and in a great location to explore Sivota. It was 74 (quite steep but safe) steps down to the harbour from the room, and the harbour is lovely with shops and tavernas and bars galore! I really enjoyed my stay at Galini studios.

This place is amazing, the view is spectacular sea view from the lounge to the room and balcony. The place is immaculately clean and the best of thing that I like is the lady Acredula, very kind lady , helpful and approachable. There’s a free laundry and place to hang ur clothes too. plenty of close by restaurants with amazing food, gift shops and supermarkets too. This place is a gem, worth every penny. Will 100% recommended to my family and friends.

RomaniaSome might not like the fact that there isn't a large beach close to the location but we love to visit as much beaches as possible so it was not an inconvenient to get to the beach by car.
Everything was just great! Very nice location, close to shops and supermarkets, 2 minutes away from the tavernas but still quiet all day and all night. Great view of the marina . The host is so very kind, she keeps the place very clean and takes care of some amazing plants that make you feel like you are inside a botanical garden. There is a nice parking place , our 7 seater car fitted perfectly. The first floor 2 bedroom apartment exceeded our expectations with 2 balconies, a veranda and a kitchen that suited us just great.

United KingdomThe only drawback is the climb up from the bay lots of steps but the upside is that it keeps you fit.
Good location, friendly helpful host. Clean rooms. Nice balconies with chairs and table spectacular views and the smell of mint wafting up from the beds below,, efficient air conditioning and cooking and laundry facilities and a welcoming bottle of home pressed olive oil.

United KingdomNot a problem but a small and basic bathroom. Can be noisy at night coming from the tavernas/bars till 12-1am. This only happened on Friday night(? boat changeover day) and didn’t bother us the other nights were very peaceful.
Very clean, bedding and towels changed every other day. Great location up steps above the harbour. Fabulous views! from balcony. Close to lots of good restaurants, shops and although not the prettiest beach, a small area for swimming. Friendly and helpful owner. Great value for money.

Germany-
I really do not want to give a review of Galini Studios. I fear that then too many people book it and it might not be available when I wish to come back ;-) But seriously: I am coming back to this wonderful place since 2017. The apartments are just fantastic (talking about the two bedroom ones in the upper building). Generously spacious and spotless. I host cleans the rooms regularly while you are there, which is an amazing service, in particular bearing in mind the absolutely reasonable prices they ask. The view from the rooms is second to none. Only few of the downstairs studios have a slightly limited view. Again we used the grill that is available for everyone and made use of the wonderful hide out on the lower flor. From my point of view there is absolutely no way that you will find a better place in Sivota / Lefkada to stay at.

United KingdomTher drive is very steep and may not be suitable for nervous drivers, but we were fine with it.
This may be a budget appartment but it really exceeded our expectations. It was fabulously clean and had everything we needed for a short stay in Sivota. The views from No 3 overlooking the harbour were fabulous. Yes there are quite a few steps from the harbour but that is why you have such a great view, but with easy reach of the shops, bars and tavernas! Would definately stay here again.

Great location and very easy to walk into the village. We had a fabulous stay and although only there for 5 nights our bed linen and towels were changed after two which was really lovely. We spent the mornings on the balcony drinking coffee watching the harbour. We were there right at the start of the season so only a couple of places open but great supermarkets within a five minute drive.
