Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomNothing - we were fine with walking the hill to the property
The owner was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable - windows had shutters. Good air conditioning in the rooms. Great location, about a 10 minute walk from Chora and the port - though it is up a medium sized hill. Loved staying here, thank you

United KingdomBasic accommodation and no space for cooking really. If you intend to eat out every day, then it’s fine. The beds were a little uncomfortable but we have sensitive backs and are about to turn 60 years !!!
Amazing sea view. Ten minutes walk to Chora and port. Very clean. Lovely helpful host Maria.

BelgiumWhile everything is fine the bathroom really needs to be renewed!
The view is fantastic! The flat is close to the centre and the port, yet it is very quiet. The host Maria is very friendly, she is there to help if necessary. It was our 4th time there and we will go back for sure if we go to Naxos again. On a more personal note we wish Maria and her husban best of luck with the baby on the way...

We loved our stay at Magic View! We had a juice on arrival as the host showed us all the best spots on the map. Our room had a beautiful sea view! The apartment is located a bit out of town which makes it so quiet and relaxed! Great value, would recommend!

Our air conditioning wasn't working the first night however the hosts were amazing and fixed it straight away. The hosts gave amazing recommendations and were super helpful throughout our trip.

AustriaNone to comment. Not all rooms have the sea view. Not all rooms have a kitchen attached. If you want a sea view or if you want a kitchen book accordingly or coordinate with host in advance. This is not a negative comment, just to make everyone aware of it.
Great location, less than 10 min walk to chora, portara, great sunset view frombelow the apartment at start of street 1 min distance. I prefer this over plaka beach due to convenience, but if you want to be in water at all times you may prefer plaka beach. The host is amazing, very helpful. The staff is courteous and very helpful. Air conditioned rooms. All restaurants at port walkable, plaka beach 20 min walk. Port 10 min walk, a shop is available for all needs ( water, bread, vegetables, fruits, cheese, wine, choclates and whatnot) 5 min walk,. If you take day tour the bus picks you up at the port and drops you back same place. There is a public parking 5 min walk, but it gets occupied by everybody around. But you can manage to find a space.

United KingdomThe property is good but could be amazing, we were under the impression that the host was doing all the 16 rooms, washing, cleaning etc on her own without any help and was very stretched, she looked exhausted bless her. The maintenance of the property was poor and left us feeling unsafe especially the electrics, The main power point next to the bed was smashed and hanging off the wall, the only other one was right above the kitchen sink which felt dangerous, especially when having to balance the kettle on the edge of the sink when boiling water. The TV did not work and there was a mish mash of odd plates and cutlery but no bowls for cereal etc. The shower was tiny, as most Greek showers are but the shower head was like a 1970’s tiny plastic head. All stuff that could easily be solved with some proper maintenance.
The property had an amazing view overlooking the sea and The Temple of Apollo and we could watch the famous sunsets from our balcony. It is a good 10/15 minute walk to the port and centre of town. The room and communal areas are spotlessly clean and the host is very friendly and helpful.

South AfricaThe kitchen area needs an up grade as there was nowhere to put things down while preparing food and drinks. A wide shelf above the stove and a flap down / folding table alongside the stove would be very useful. A wider selection of cutlery and crockery would b an advantage.
Maria was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had a warm welcome. View was excellent and not far from port and town. Although the room was small, it was adequate as we were out sight seeing all day. Maria kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at her home while we waited for the ferry at no extra cost!
