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...).

GermanyKitchenette could be equipped with more dishes, utensils, cookware, etc. (e.g., Wine glasses, knives/peelers for cooking, pans, cutting boards etc.). Water pressure was very low and temp a bit tricky to figure out. Internet/Wifi unfortunately not very stable or fast - enough for vacation but not remote work / video calls. Remote location is very nice to escape the mass tourism on Naxos, however, you need a rental/car/quad/etc. to access it.
Great little agritourism with very clean studio, small kitchenette with fridge, terrace, AC, bathroom with shower. Decoration is minimalistic and very refreshing! Property is well maintained and groomed, including pool area. Due to a little bit remote location on island, it is very quiet and calm - great to relax away from the masses in Naxos. Host, staff and dog were super friendly, lovely and always available on-site or via whatsapp in the afternoons for everything we needed. Trash is taken out every day from the room and room cleaning every second day. Parking free on site available.

United KingdomThis place is a tranquil haven in the mountains. Loved waking up in the peace and doing yoga in the beautiful gardens. The rooms are lovely and clean and the pool is well kept. The host Evangelia was so helpful - arranging our hire car (at a reduced price compared to the car comparison sites) and teaching my husband Greek with great patience and humour. We will be back. I don't think we can stay away for long!

NetherlandsNothing really. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the big places and you don’t mind traveling, it’s a perfect place.
It is a quiet and beautiful oasis just 10-15 minutes from Naxos town. We visited Palatiana at the beginning of August - the place was lush and green, quiet and really beautiful! The gardens are very well kept and the abundance of flowers and fruits is amazing (the figs are really tasty :)) In the morning you can hear the bells of the goats going up the mountain, the roosters, etc.A bonus was that they had their own water spring which was clean and drinkable - we didn’t need to buy drink water. The houses are very cute and very well furnished, with a small kitchenette if you want to fix quick breakfast/lunch. We were with 2 adults and 2 kids, the room was spacious enough to fit an extra bed for the little one (the older slept on the beautiful couch which is standard in the room), we had a beautiful veranda where we could have breakfast and lunch. The swimming pool is beautiful and there is enough shade from the trees. There is a small village nearby where you can go for dinner and buy some local produce (tomatoes and fruits). There is a beach not more than 1 km away, which is also very beautiful. A car is definitely a must!

United KingdomA wonderful place to stay in Naxos! The surroundings are gorgeous and tranquil. Evangelia and her staff were wonderful, and Evangelia has amazing recommendations across the island. You will need a car, as it’s just on the periphery of the center town (and this is a good thing), so that you can explore the island! Also, the breakfast is unbelievable! We hope to come visit again soon!

United KingdomThe only improvement we would suggest would be a slight enlargement of the kitchen area. We really enjoyed making breakfast for ourselves but the installation was very tight despite there being space for more countertop. But a tiny criticism and irrelevant for anyone who doesn't want to self-cater at all.
The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. Evangelia, the host, is wonderfully warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for her: whether it's local info or lending a beach umbrella. The pool area is beautiful and it's all too easy to just lounge around rather than explore. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast available but the menu looked fabulous. We did have coffee several times which was great and our daughter devoured the home made cookies.

BelgiumVery nice place to stay on Naxos island in a quite area, yet close to a village with nice restaurants and only 10 min drive away from Naxos town. The cottages have a lot of charm and the swimming pool is very nice. Most importantly, all the advice provided by Evangelia (host) was very useful for all the nice things to do, places to see and where to eat across the whole island!

United States of AmericaIt's a bit far from the pier but not too far. Perfect if you want peace and tranquility. You should definitely get a car. The staff at the hotel can help with that!
Best breakfast I've had in all of Greece! They grow their own fruits and veggies I believe so everything is fresh. There's so much taste in each bite. Please don't skip breakfast! The area is super quiet and peacefully surrounded by beautiful gardens with a great mountain view. Check-in was super simple despite booking at 10pm- they left the keys for me and were always super easy to reach.
