How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The shower was quite small, but as far I've notice that is a standard for Greece (for bigger person it might be an issue). You have to pay extra for sunbeds.
Beachfront hotel, with nice sea view from the balcony. Room was clean and spacious. Very calm area. Not that far away from the town, perfect for few days stay.

- • Couple
- • Classic Quadruple Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
Nobody to welcome, despite contimous information regarding arrival. No soap in the bathroom (wallcontainer is leak). We had a genius upgrade, but was denied this (did not have time to clean, and "not available". No restaurant as indicated. Sunbeds on the beach lokked like "after a storm". WC flushing mechanism did not work, I had to open and manually handle the problem after each use to stop water from draining. Really, this place could be nice, but negligance from the people running it and false information of restaurant was a major disappointment. The restaurant we got recommended from the female host after her delayed arrival, was also closed despite she told us it was open. The balcony and our room had a lot of small ants. A plastic bag with empty plastic bottles stayed in the stair to the 1 floor from morning to late evening- at least, indicating nobody took care. We had 2 glasses and an electric kettle. No whatsoever cooking possibility, not even to boil an egg. No plates,fork,spoon og knives. Ther was a small compact "kitchen" with a small fridge (lacking door to the small freezer-compartment). We were told it was nor intended to make any kind of food in the room. But upon asking we got some plates and knife/fork/spoon and 2 cups for coffe. In the bathroom was no glasses for toothbrush/toothpaste. By the way, to boil water in the electric kettle you mus use the bedlamp socket. One lamp in the ceiling gave hardly more thon moonshine light, and the smoke/fire detector (looked like BLack-and Decker type) was not properly closed (Open or broken?). In Booking.com information it said it has restaurant and a bar. None of this was true. We stayed in the first half of October. Normally touris places on the greec islands close at about 15. october, but this place was closed befor our arrival (lack opf personal, service, bar, restaurant). They should not advertise for guest after closing the season.
Really nothing, exept ok bed and a balcony. No mosquito.

Hotel is very outdated. Both rooms had plumping issues. Check in was non Chalant and not very welcoming. They didn’t even ask my name. English is challenged. Huge plumbing issues in both rooms we booked. Manger called a plumber and apparently it was fixed but at this point we waited the whole day, a wasted day and decided to check into a new hotel. Unless the hotel has a huge refurbishment, it’s not worth the stress. Never got a refund either for 4 days even though we even stay one night.
The outside and area and beach is beautiful, although not the best beach for swimming.

The shower was not attached to the wall. I had to hold it while using it. So shampooing is hard. It is far away from the centre. The place looked deserted from the outside.
It is right on the beach
