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 KingdomIt wasn’t very big room . Kitchen only have kettle, few glasses and plates and about two spoons and two forks. There was no sponge and washing liquid to wash it after. Owner of the restaurant wasn’t very nice. I am not sure if he is owner of Romantika rooms or not because i picked up keys from one of the guys who work in restaurant. He was not nice to his members few times infront of me. On my last day i wanted to use sunbed for 3 hours because i had to check out at 10.30 and my pick up time was bit later than that. I asked if they can give me better price because i’m only staying for 3 hours. Owner said no. Because i was staying in one of the Romantika rooms he was giving me 5 euro discount.Everyone was paying 20 who stayed in Romantika. I found it not fair that as a solo traveller i have to pay full price ( full day and for two sunbeds). Its ok price for two people which are staying all day.! Food in restaurant was tasty but not very big portions for the price they’ve been asking for
Very good location. You can walk to few different beaches along the coast. Bus stop not far from property. My room was so close to the beach. I just opened my door, walked through the restaurant and i was on the beach already. Room was clean. There was shower gel, body lotion , shampoo to use. And there was little safe in the wardrobe which is good.

AustraliaGiven the prime location, it is on the noisier side.
One of the most affordable options you'll find near Platis Gialos beach - tucked behind Yialo Yialo restaurant, it's literally a couple steps from one of the islands best beaches. Yialo Yialo rents out sunbeds, where we plonked ourselves for the day. The room was clean and the staff were lovely. What more do you need?

United KingdomThe hotel was right next to a restaurant and so you could sometimes hear the loud bass of the music at night around 10pm. But we thought this was alright because the music didn't go on for long, and the volume is completely bearable (unless you are an extremely early sleeper, this shouldn't be a problem). What we thought was strange was that there is no front desk / concierge! We got lost on arrival, and later realised that the restaurant staff double up as hotel managers. For that reason it was difficult to get a hold of staff to request for e.g. extra towels, extra soap during our stay, but this also wasn't that much of a problem because there was nothing else we needed that badly. We also requested a large bed but this large bed is essentially two twin beds put together with a single bedsheet fitted on top - this made it really difficult to sleep in the middle of the bed because I often felt like I was going to fall in between the two beds. I hope they invest in actual large sized beds - would make this place perfect!
Location is perfect - we were given a room facing the beach which was just a stone's throw away. Also close to many restaurants, provision stores, and a bus stop that conveniently brings you into the Chora. Room is very clean, it had everything we needed, the shower was comfortable, and housekeeping happens everyday (though this sometimes disrupted our sleep in the morning, especially with the incessant ringing of the doorbell). Parking was also conveniently next to the hotel and it was free for hotel guests.

United KingdomThe rooms are very basic but they are comfortable and cleaned everyday should you wish. We had a sit down bath/shower situation which was a bind at times but again it was always clean. The beds are high quality and there are extra pillows and blankets tucked away in the wardrobe.
Brilliant location. In the centre of Platis Gialos Beach with comfortable loungers all with umbrellas. The sun-beds come at a price of either €10-€15, depending on how close to the sea you want to be. The restaurant, Yialo Yialo, that operates the rooms and the beach front couldn’t be nicer and the food and hospitality is the best on the beach. It was incredibly helpful that the rooms were almost directly on the beach so just a short lazy stroll from one bed to the next.
