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.).

United KingdomIt is a long way by road from the town. While you can walk along the beach, the last stretch is on a narrow rocky path, which some would find difficult. We attempted to walk from the port with our luggage, ended up getting lost and another hotel took pity on us and gave us a lift there. They offer a shuttle from the port, pay the 10 euro, or hire a car.
The views over the bay are stunning. The room is well furnished and appointed. the shower is excellent and the standard of cleaning high. Reception staff helpful and friendly. Very quiet in the evening. It is a great location if you have hired a car. Not so much if you are only on foot.

GermanyAccess to the beach can be a bit difficult, the nearest bus station is at a kind of long walking distance. But the hotel provide transfer indeed and for younger people with no mobility difficultys that shouldn't impact the experience.
Excellent acomodation, amazing view, staff very friendly.

United KingdomNothing. It was great. This will be our go to place if we return to Paros.
The location is wonderful. Close to the port and all facilities. But far enough away from the busyness of the port to be peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful views across the bay. Elizabeth and George are great hosts. Very willing to help with any additional requests.

PolandAll was great! The only thing to consider for some people it might be that a property is located on a hill (thanks to that there is amazing view!) but you have to walk little uphill and by car it's quite steep both ways.
It's a lovely property! We had amazing stay and stayed longer than initial plan. Comfortable and very clean rooms. Towels and cosmetics are provided. The view and balcony on 1st floor (second room on the right from reception) was amazing! That room we liked more than on the ground floor (less light), but we booked last minute. Everywhere beds are comfortable and space in the room is great. The owner, Mrs Pipina, is very helpful and kind. We rented a car from her too, it was quick and hassle-free. Cute cat around, mesmerizing view at the sea and marina. We would love to be back!

United KingdomHosts at hand on arrival in the reception . I have returned several times to this location as it has wonderful views, it has a charming garden below your balcony and is restorative and peaceful. The night view of the bay is wonderful. It’s run by a brother and sister who are very accommodating, helpful and who smile a lot. For a small fee even my laundry was done.

New ZealandOur top floor Junior Suite with a sea view and terrace was perfect for our 10 nights on Paros. Comfortable double bed, kitchen with hot plates, a microwave, sandwich toaster, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom, wardrobe, safe, 3 seater lounge chair, TV (Greek channels) and a reasonable sized bathroom. Our room was serviced & had the bins emptied daily which was a nice touch and the bed changed twice. Out side our private terrace had views directly over the bay, a 3 seater & a 2 seater outside couches, a dining table & 4 chairs & a clothes drying rack. Plenty of space inside and out. Livadia is a great sand beach and just below the apartment. For those looking for a bit more there are a couple of beach club style setups renting sun leaners and umbrellas for the day and selling food and drinks. It is across the bay so getting from and back to the port with bags for us required transport which the accommodation arranged, if you are travelling light walking the beach is possible. The walk via the waterfront path to the Supermarket is 1.5km / 20 minutes and to the port & old town 1.75km 23 minutes (without bags). The walk to the property from the port via the road is 2km and has a vertical gain of 37 metres via the beach the vertical gain is 20 metres. We hope to stay again.

CanadaNothing. It just wasn’t posh but the price wasn’t either. It was charming
We booked this studio apartment when there was a ferry strike and we had to stay an extra night in Paros. We loved the ocean view and it was less than 10 min walk down the hill to a beautiful swimming beach. It was at the end of town but all the restaurants start at the beach and continue one. It had a cute kitchen, was super clean, lovely staff it was a bargain compared to most other places.

Felt very safe even walking alone at night. Scenic walk to more beautiful beaches around the cliffs . Loved my stay here . I will definitely stay again. It's self catering but if they had a restaurant it would be even harder to leave!! Room no 12 has a beautiful pergola and the light is amazing :)
