Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Excellent place to stay for your summer holidays! The owners are super friendly, and the studio has everything you need for your stay. The view is breathtaking, and nothing beats waking up and sleeping to the sound of the waves. Totally recommend it!

GermanyThe fridge is super loud, we could not sleep with it turned on. We had that problem in many apartments though.
Very nice apartment on the upper floor. We had a huge terasse overlooking the ocean. The way to the beach is about 15 minutes by foot on the street. The beach is very nice with a little cute beach bar where we got our daily decaf Frappé. Supermarkets and restaurants are even closer. The kitchen is equipped with two burners, a kettle and basic cutlery and dishes, enough for basic meals fror two. The best thing about the place: Poppy the owner who lives close by and will help you with absolutely everything. So nice and so helpful! It does get windy up there, but we would definitely stay there again. Value for money is unbeatable.

FranceHiking in Karpathos and staying every night at a different place, my only regret is not having stay longer at Arkassa and this place. To note it can be very windy !
The studio is well located with market and restaurants nearby. It's very clean, large enough with functional kitchen and small terrace. It's traditional room and furniture with all amenities. I really recommend this place. Lovely welcome too from owner

Nice, clean, spacious, traditional room, with all the amenities needed. The building is located right above the sea and the view is amazing! Wi-Fi in the room is very good. Eirini and her mother are really nice ladies. There was a small issue with the payment but solved immediately. Check in and check out process really quick and easy. Arkasa, the village, is really beautiful and very convenient located to explore the island.

ItalyI hope this review will help the host to improve the offer. I booked the studio with Booking.com and I was expected to get the apartment with balcony and sea view. Instead I got a studio on the ground floor, with a small patio adjacent to other 3 studios, where basically no privacy is guaranteed as there Is no separé or anything like that between the patios. When I asked for the studio on the first floor with balcony and privacy I was told I should have asked that one after I booked the studio on booking.com. I'm sorry but there Is NO such indication when you make the booking, in the details of your studio you will find all the pictures of the entire building, not only the pictures of the studio you actually booked! So I discovered the trick when I Asked for it, this is not Fair! I also complained with booking.com, this is not a fair policy and they should have overviewed. As Always the guest should get exactly what he booked, no way to show the pictures of all 6 studios and when you check in get the worst one! The host should understand (if they travelled they should know It) the guest on vacation expects the best and not the worse, they Need relax and privacy. Now let's speak about the studio itself. We paid 68€ per night, total of 6 nights. The furniture are quite old, a small table with a plastic tablecloth, a kind of sofà so unconfortable you can't sit so much, the chairs as well. The bed is so hard and tight you cannot sleep well. Bathroom has a shower tray with curtain, one small wooden window with no net. No detergent to wash dishes, we asked for It and we got some. Anything like salt, sugar of course, how to think a bottle of water? No way! But yes, this Is common in other studios. In the studio there is very poor wifi connection, basically impossible, you should go outside to get It properly. Outsider, a small patio, two chairs and a plastic table, ok for breakfast, dinner etc.
