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 are 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 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):
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.
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 room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was quite equipped which allowed us to have light dinner and breakfast inhouse. The A/C was working great. The communication with the owner of the facility was excellent, he is very kind and helpful and he gave us nice tips to explore the area near Elafonnisi.

United StatesThe TV on the wall didn't extend out so it could face the big bed, instead it faced the twin. We struggled with trying to find American channels, so we connected our Amazon, but the 2nd night we struggled with internet connection. The bed was not comfortable for me, but my husband was fine, but I'm older and have an older back. I ended up sleeping on the twin, it was a bit of a thicker pad, but not much.
The area and Smaroula were so quaint and quiet, restaurants excellent. Gregory was very nice, attentive and welcoming! The price was very good. The Smaroula is walking distance to restaurants and mini marts, and the lagoon, which is GORGEOUS! I wish it was a bit warmer water so I could have a swim, but it was only May. The Smaroula is just 5 min drive from Elofonisi Beach which we loved, and was the whole reason for going!

ItalyI had booked a small single room, but got upgraded to a triple room without additional charges. The room was simple, but large and clean, good value for the money I spent. The location is very convenient since it is 5 minutes away from Elafonisi beach by car. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

AustriaYou cannot cook in the kitchen, equipments are too small. The property is under vidéo surveillance which is great. However, the camera was directed at the window of our room so we had to leave the curtain closed all the time. We recommend to fix this if possible.
Functional and nice room. Very clean. Excellent shower. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We visited the Monastery close by which we definitively recommend, it is a jewel! The taverns are just 100 m away accessible by foot and serve excellent food at a good price. Supermarkets are very close too. You can enjoy the place if you are without a car (2-3 attractions accessible by foot) but having a car is preferable.

United StatesThe only thing that was lacking was a table and chairs in the room. Although the room is quite small, there is a place to put a small table and two small chairs.
It was a very nice apartment - although rather small with no real kitchenette, it was extremely clean, quite modern, with good shower, good beds. The small place was designed very efficiently. The apartment is close to Elafonisi beach and to a real natural treasure - a small bay that looks like almost a lake. It is also very close to a great monastery. The cleaning lady was the most hospitable and told us about everything we could do and see.

IrelandBit pricey- but this area in general seems to be expensive when it comes to accomodation. Washing machine would be definitely a plus, as well as cooking hob especially for people staying for few days or longer.
Big, very clean room. Comfortable bed. Good sized shower and bathroom- everything new. Very kind, attentive host. We booked room on the last moment, but even thought he was ready to greet us within few minutes. We received a lot of useful advices. Nice area- few minutes with a car to Elafonisi beach, but nearby there is also another calm small beach. Good restaurants around. Plus for providing good quality cosmetics and bottle of water.
