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.).

CanadaGreat location - only 5 minute drive to center of town or a 20 minute walk. Lovely pool, though it was cool as we were there mid-October. Beautiful view of sea from large pool area. Communication and check in was easy. Free parking was easy and secure. Good Wifi - which was important as I needed it for work. Maria was very nice and engaging. Staff were all very friendly and kind. The property was beautifully manicured by a fellow that also helped serve breakfast. The Indonesian girl server was also very kind. Beds were good. Shower configuration in our bedroom was a little weird as you had to be careful not to splash edge of bed - suggest they extend the shower wall. The blind between living room and bedroom was also too short. Fabulous and large breakfast with greek yoghurt, honey and fruit, eggs, some days as omelette or fried, one day we had crepes and other pancakes, baked good including bread, sometime mini spanokopitas or croissants plus jam and preserves. Coffee wasn't great, so went out for coffees afterwards, which was fine. Bed linens were good as were towels. They also provided slippers and robes but no beach towels. You can rent beach towels if you wish. We loved this palce nd if we stay in Arkana again, we will definitely stay here ! Thank you MARIA and staff!

CanadaThe breakfast is almost the same everyday. Not a lot pf choices and sometimes it’s slow. I would recommend to go for a buffet with a lot of options. Dinning next to the parking lot is not the ideal. Maybe a wall ?
Beautiful studios with great amenities. The beach nearby is beautiful. They let us come before the check in ! The persons (Indonesians) woww, best kind of person, very attentif, good workers and always smiling.

Perfect location in a quite area within walking distance from town center. Just 15 minutes from the airport. Our room was spacious had a big balcony and a huge private pool which was cleaned just before we arrived. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The manager made sure we were taken care of and helped arrange our excursion at an amazing price with a good private boat.

United KingdomNo kettle or iron and ironing board in the room, which was a shame, and the shower wasn't very powerful (sort of expected more for the size of it). The jacuzzi also needed topping up to work properly and we couldn't figure out the temperature control as the display seemed to be broken. All fairly minor things but would have made our stay even better
Huge room with lovely, big, comfortable bed, very friendly staff, a little pool bar serving a few drinks and there were comfy, cushioned beds by the pool. Hotel was easy walking distance to the beach and Arkassa town centre and had lots of free parking on site. We were also given robes and slippers in the room, which was a nice touch.

GermanySeriously nothing.
What is not to like? Maria and her family are one of the most genuinely caring hosts we have ever encountered on the Greek isles. Professional and attentive yet giving you all the privacy you need to feel truly ,at home’. Rooms are impeccably clean and contemporary with all you need. Breakfast homemade and with slight changes every day, which is nice, served on a beautiful terrace by the pool. Pool to be used whenever you like, which is also a nice change to other places with restricted timings. Location with gorgeous views and a good base to explore the quite large island. Allover a very pleasing place with a good vibe and top staff also.

GreeceThe glass toilet door did not close fully (by design), which meant that you could easily hear what was going on in there while you were in the room. This was a bit uncomfortable. This made me put 9/10 and not 10/10.
Everything was great apart from 1 minor thing.

GermanyWe spend one week in the private Aphrodite villa with private pool. Maria, her Mom and the entire team were incredible. We were completely relaxed right from the beginning. The hotel has an outstanding service, the sea view is incredible. The whole place is so cozy and heart worming. Maria has created a wonderful stylish environment. The villa itself is offering a private atmosphere and we really enjoyed the little pool very much. The room, the terrace and the pool were cleaned every day it is in real proper condition. Being on holiday you can ignore a cracked mirror (will be fixed soon). The room provides a small kitchen, which we just have used in the morning to prepare a cup of coffee. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the early morning on the terrace with the unbelievable Aegean Sea view is just unreal. Maria is an incredible host and always there for her guests. The beautiful St. Nicolas beach is just a ten minutes walk from there. Wonderful Restaurants could be reached in just five minutes. Our favorite one was the Kipos Taverne, a cozy little restaurant with a well dedicate Team and an excellent chef, providing authentic greek cuisine. We have booked the accommodation including breakfast. The breakfast was a daily feast. Variations of eggs (omelette, cooked or fried) have been offered as well as fresh fruits, traditional Greek yogurt with honey and fruits, veggies from the family garden and bread with homemade marmalade. Pancakes where available too. It was just amazing.

The apartment was modern, spacious and very clean. We loved the view from the balcony & the beach in walking distance! Arkasa is also a good starting point to explore Karpathos - and in the small city enough restaurants can be found so one does not need to drive away every night! Maria is the best host ever and organized a lot for us! She booked us a great private tour around the island & organized a rental car that waited for us the next day. Her travel & beach recommendations made our stay a thousand times better!
