How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe loved this hotel and its wonderful staff and that is why I came back for my 2nd visit.Its a 3 star hotel and a little bit basic but Mina and all the staff make you so welcome and nothing is too much trouble.The location is perfect, its right on the main street where all the shops and restaurants are.The beach is right there too at the bottom of the road with even more restaurants and cocktail bars. Really nice restaurants like Pomodoro, The Steak House, Amelia's and further up the road on the right hand side is a really nice Chinese /Thai restaurant The beach is very pebbly and shingly but I am more a pool person .The bus stop to go to Fira and Oia is also up the road, 4 euros to Fira then another bus to Oia, 8 euros total round trip. This is a little gem of a place. :-)
Maybe could do with a little updating

Verified reviewThe location and the staff; Mina and Bill were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Free pool towels & safe. Beds very comfortable. Towels changed every day. Rooms cleaned to a high standard.
The hotel is in need of modernising / updating in a number of area's, which would bring it back to the standard of other 3 star hotels in the vicinity.

Verified reviewUpon arrival greeted very well and the room had the facilties listed in the advert. Hair and body products supplied in the bathroom foc were good. The rooms were clean and neat. Separate towels were supplied for the poolside. The reception staff were welcoming upon arrival... though the last day, I suspect lead by the owners, was not handled well, as no notification was given on the website or by the staff the previous day, that the poolside facilities wouldn't be available ie padded sunbed covers, on the last day of the season. This would have made a difference at to where we'd booked. The room was highly lit, at times a lower light would be better, perhaps a lower watt bulb into the side table lights, or a darker shade to reduce the light levels, would be an improvement. Location, excellent. Good breakfast. Good local restaurants and lovely local shops offering something a little different. Close to local transport for travel across the island, which is regular and cheap to use.
On the last day, the poolside facilities were not available, ie padded sunbed covers ...hard wooden lats are not acceptable to be left with. They'd been packed away overnight, no notification was given to their customers. Be aware, that although the last day of the season with flights leaving very late in the day, rooms still had to be vacated by 11am. On the positive a downstairs area was provided for a shower and change of clothes. Under normal mid season conditions I'm sure everything would be fine. A darker shade or lower wattage bulbs in the side lights would be better for reduced lighting options, to not disturb other occupiers of the room. A safe in the room would be an improvement, rather than a room behind the reception.
Dear Michele, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the provision of a downstairs area for a shower and change on your departure day and that you recognized the potential for a great stay during the main season. That is absolutely true! Regarding the poolside facilities, we would like to clarify that the removal of certain amenities, such as the sunbed covers, was due to our scheduled seasonal closure, affecting only the last day of operation. We’d like to note that our team began the seasonal closing preparations only after the official check-out time on the final day of operation. This timing was arranged to ensure minimal impact on guest experience while allowing us to prepare the property for closure. While we strive to communicate such changes, we regret that this was not conveyed to you in advance, and we will review our processes to improve communication in similar situations. Your feedback regarding the lighting options and the in-room safe is greatly appreciated. We will take these suggestions into consideration as we continuously look for ways to enhance the guest experience. Thank you once again for your review. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back during the main season so you can experience the full extent of our facilities and services at their best. Kind regards, Acqua Vatos Team

Verified reviewThis is a very nice hotel in a convenient location, kept very clean by hardworking staff. The manageress Mina and her colleague on reception are absolutely brilliant - friendly, helpful and always with a smile and a word of greeting for guests.
I thought the pool area could do with some care and attention. It was a bit shabby and not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel.
Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear you found much of the hotel to meet your standards, though we’re sorry that the pool area did not live up to the same level. Our team works hard to maintain all areas of the property, but your feedback indicates there’s room for improvement in the pool area. Please rest assured that we take your comments seriously, and we will review this with our maintenance team to ensure it reflects the overall quality and experience we aim to provide for our guests. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back in the future, where we’ll strive to exceed your expectations in all aspects of your stay. Kind regards, Acqua Vista Team
