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 States of AmericaIn the reviews it talked about breakfast being available and how friendly the owner was but while we were there, there was no breakfast so that was a little disappointing. Also, the bed was very uncomfortable.
Nice sized room. Facilities were relatively clean. Front desk staff was nice. The hotel is located in a quiet more residential area. While this is nice, it also should be noted that it is a long walk up many stairs every time you want to go back-and-forth between the main harbor area.

New ZealandThe staff should have informed us about the ferry strike! Signs with the hotel name were all in Greek letters which made it difficult to find because it looks quite different to Theano.
Clean, quiet. Shop is very close, which is lucky because breakfast is no longer offered, contrary to the description. Luckily we could use an electric jug.

AustraliaIt is definitely a walk up a few stairs - but I knew this and was prepared to make the journey. I had asked for a double bed, I got two singles - which was fine, only minor!
Room was lovely and clean! Service was lovely. I was nervous the wifi wouldn't work based on reviews I read - it worked fine for me, I even managed to watch some netflix. When I arrived 4 hours early to store my luggage, my room was early and they let me check-in! The room was HUGE, extremely clean, the aircon was absolutely lovely and I felt comfortable and at home.

FinlandThe wifi didn't reach our room, but worked perfectly in the lovely garden. We didn't have any hot water during our stay (which would probably have been fixable had we mentioned it) and sometimes there was a slight sewer smell in the room. We didn't consider these big minuses and agreed that we had made a good choice of accommodation!
We had a nice 4-night stay in Hydra! Our room had its own garden entrance and we liked the location on the hill top - the climb is not too bad at all and the port, swim spots and restaurants are easy to reach on foot. There is even a minimarket a couple of small blocks away.

AustraliaQuite a walk up stairs from the port, should of looked more into it before booking. It's a workout for sure especially with luggage to carry. The guesthouse itself reminded me of private hostel rooms, you can hear outside your window quite clearly and other the guests walk through the halls. Water was turned off for two hours on our last morning, but was resolved.
The room is basic but everything you need. Friendly staff
