How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewAmong the places I've stayed, this one is definitely at the top in terms of hospitality. The room was thoughtfully detailed, the facility was very well-maintained, and the sea view were amazing. Special thanks to Milia and Maria for their efforts—we were very satisfied. I’ll recommend it to everyone visiting the island, and I hope to return if possible.

Verified reviewOur stay at Sofi Mar was simply wonderful. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and located right on the seafront, with excellent access to the sea. Maria, our host, was amazing – extremely attentive to every detail and to all our needs, which made us feel truly welcome. Another great advantage is the nearby grocery store, just 5 minutes away on foot, run by a very kind shop assistant (also named Maria) and open until late in the evening. Restaurants are also within easy reach, about 10–15 minutes’ walk. The combination of the beautiful location, the convenience of nearby amenities, and Maria’s warm hospitality made our vacation unforgettable. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect seaside getaway.

Verified reviewMaria’s hospitality and warmth are exceptional. The rooms are wonderful, and every detail is designed with exquisite thoughtfulness. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. The viewing terraces, the tranquility, and the peaceful atmosphere make this place truly unique. Its proximity to the center, the crystal-clear sea, the cleanliness of the beach, and the overall comfort offer an outstanding experience in every respect. The crystal clarity and cleanliness of the sea, its shelter from the wind, the sunset view, and the fact that it is right in front of the hotel are fantastic. In addition, the nearby coves — including Tarti Beach — with their winding roads surrounded by olive trees, allow you to fully enjoy the beauty of being in nature.

Verified reviewWhere to start!? Our stay in Lesvos was made absolutely seamless by our host, Maria. From check-in to check-out, she was incredibly responsive and helpful, always there when we needed advice or information. Upon arrival, we were greeted with locally baked fresh bread and a bag of delicious olives, which was just what we needed after a long journey and a late arrival. As a final touch, on the day we checked out, Maria offered us a ride to Mytilini since she was heading that way, saving us the hassle of arranging transport for our early morning ferry. The ride was filled with a wonderful conversation about life and our experiences, and it honestly felt like we had known her for years. Maria is such an amazing person, and you can tell how much effort she has put into making the place not only comfortable and visually appealing but also welcoming. Her warmth really embodied the kindness and friendliness we’ve come to associate with Greek hospitality. As for the accommodation itself, it’s truly a gem and absolutely worth every penny. If you’re looking to relax and treat yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The bed is huge and incredibly comfy, and the view is breathtaking—watching the sunset over the sea was an unforgettable experience. The kitchen is well-equipped and spacious, and the bathroom is clean and charming. But perhaps our favorite feature of the property is the private beach, which is literally just down the stairs from the apartment. Some days, it felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. There are sunbeds available both in the shade and sun, so you can choose your perfect spot. Being able to take a morning swim and then walk right back up for a shower and a relaxing afternoon is something truly special. I even picked up a snorkel at a local shop and had a fantastic time exploring the clear waters just in front of the property. The seabed formations, fish, and crystal-clear water made snorkeling an absolute joy, and even in September, t

Verified reviewWe LOVED EVERYTHING! From aromatic lavender sachets for a good night's sleep to its beautiful beach, vibrant with sea life! The highlights of our stay were… 🇬🇷🏝️ Sofi Mar is located in Plomari. Everything Plomari offers (including a cosy atmosphere and excellent restaurants) is just a 10-minute walk away. It is perfectly located for swimming, sunsets and after-dinner walks. 🌊🐟 Sofi Mar is literally next to the sea, and you can hear the waves. Very therapeutic. We enjoy diving and snorkelling as a couple. When we snorkelled for the first time in Sofi Mar’s sea, we instantly realised that the marine life in the area was extremely vibrant. To compare, we tried at least 15 different locations (except Eressos and 2 bays) in Lesvos, and in all, we just saw a total of 3 fish 😝 But in Sofi Mar's sea, we saw hundreds of creatures; it was so so so much fun! 🪴🏛️ The design, architecture, and ambience of the rooms and common areas are bohemian, minimal and tasteful. It gives a strong sense that every object is carefully selected. And absolutely, Sofi Mar is better than the photos. 🛌💤 The beds and linens are incredibly comfy. We rested like we hadn’t for years. Thanks to Maria, especially for this one, because now that we have learnt the perfect bed brand, we want it in our home, too! (: ✨✨ It is one of the cleanest accommodations we have ever had. Spotless. All amenities and details were immaculate. 🤭 It was, surprisingly, also a very sensory experience! How? Because there are beautiful room scents, aromatherapy sachets, locally-produced olive oil-based toiletry (shampoo, soap, etc.). 🌞 Living life is beautiful at Sofi Mar. We got the chance to find availability only after someone made a last-minute cancellation. So, if it’s available, you are lucky. Go for it!

Verified reviewExceptionally clean property, right on a beautiful beach. Beach is not very populated, which is great. When the weather is not too hot you can sleep with the sound of the waves. Exceptional host and housekeeping. We were welcome with ouzo, olives, olive oil and bread🙏Thank you Ms. Maria for running such a property. It is at a five minute walk from the beach to the mini market. In that area there are lots of restaurants. Make a note that there are stairs to the beach, but they are not difficult at all. We hope to come back to this peaceful, beautiful place.
