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):
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.).

We liked everything - rooms, terraces, views.... The place perfectly met our needs as we love having space and air where we stay. Here we had plenty of space! Kleopatra was very nice to us and even prepared surprises on a couple of occasions. When we return to Kefalonia, we'll definitely stay again there. Zola & Villa Alexandros are the right place if you're looking for serenity and peace. This was out 3rd time on the island and hopefully not the last one! Thank you, Kleopatra and Dimitros!

This Villa is located in a very picturesque place with breathtaking views. The view from our rooms was fantastic, the moment we saw it, we lost our speech. There is a beautiful beach with crystal clear water on one side and mountains on the other. The Host was incredibly friendly and prepared delicious dinners and treats for us. They took us on a boat trip along the coast and showed us all the beauty of Zola. The apartment was super clean and comfy. The very well-equipped kitchen has everything for comfortable living there. The small bedroom even has some children's toys, puzzles and sand toys. We will definitely come back one day! I highly recommend this place for families!

BulgariaVilla Alexandros is a wonderful place to stay, one of the nicest I've been to. The villa is very spacious and extremely clean. The three lovely verandas have breathtaking views, from which I watched the sunrise every morning with a cup of coffee. Our host Cleopatra is an extremely nice person, she welcomed us very warmly, and communication with her was always very easy and pleasant. It's hard for me to put into words how touched I felt every time she left something delicious for us in the fridge, which happened every day. I highly recommend the place to anyone who decides to visit the island.

United StatesThe one thing we could have used was a common area indoors. There is no living room or anything like that. It's just bedrooms and a kitchen. The common areas are the outdoor balconies.
This is a huge apartment in a beautiful location in Kefalonia. There are 4 individual balconies, most of them quite large and the view of the beach below is quite amazing. Cleopatra was a great host and even left us some home cooked food at a few points. We spent 5 nights at the apartment so we had a lot of time to get to know the area. The bedrooms are comfy and nice to have the AC, which can cool the entire apartment if you leave the doors open. Overal we enjoyed staying here and would recommend it.

Highly recommend Zola tavernes Stou Tsagari (meat and veg) and Kostas (fish). Vouti beach is 5min drive!

BulgariaEverything was perfect, we didn't want to leave. The villa deserves 10+
Lovely peaceful place with a breathtaking view. This is the perfect place to escape the daily hassle and recharge the batteries. In the same time it is conveniently located near many wonderful beaches, sights and restaurants. The villa is gorgeous, very spacious, with lovely cosy rooms and big furnished terraces without mosquitoes. It is also impeccably clean (daily cleaning provided) but most of all it is very well equipped and comfortable. The bathroom with 2 sinks and the additional bathroom are a great time saver. Can't miss to mention the towels in different colors for each of us, simple but smart solution that made our lifes easier. Since Zola is а mоuntainοus villаge, built on a hill аbоve thе sea the temperatures are much nicer and we didn't use the air conditioners even in the hottest days (+35 degrees). Nice and welcoming hosts who live downstairs. They are very discreet but always available. Safe private parking space in the shade, suitable also for a very big car. Would definitely visit again and definitely recommend.

United KingdomThe property was very clean and well equipped with all the facilities you would expect at home. We had a choice of six balconies to sit out on which are set out over two floors, 5 were overlooking the sea and mountains and the other was shaded, which was perfect. The owners are very friendly and accommodating, occasionally leaving us lovely cakes for us to enjoy. Location was perfect only a three minute drive from two beautiful beaches. Parking was available just outside our apartment in the shade.Perfect stay for the four of us apartment was very spacious. I’m doing

United KingdomThe flat is spacious, clean, with multiple terraces and amazing views. The beds are comfortable and there is so much care put in by Kleopatra making them every day. Kleopatra also drops in cakes and savoury purse every few days. Dimitris has boats and does a wonderful tour of the nearby coastline. It was the highlight of our stay. They are simply wonderful hosts. Zola may seem a little isolated but it’s a great location to reach all parts of the island. Lixouri with its restaurants and supermarkets is an easy 20 mn drive. April is a great place to visit with very few tourists and all the flowers in bloom. Some places are shut but enough are open. Would highly recommend Villa Alexandros, and a Spring holiday in Kefalonia.

MoldovaIf I could put more than 10, I would put much more. There was a house of dream where we spent 10 nice days in Kefalonia. Especially we liked how Cleopatra and Dimitris cared us with their warm and hospitality. The house was very spacious and comfortable. Everything was clean and very well maintained. Everyday Cleopatra treated us with different desserts and traditional greek dishes. We also liked very much the fish prepared by Dimitris. Also we had a boat tour with Dimitris that was really fantastic. The view from the terrace was magnificent. This is the best place we have ever stayed in Greece. For sure, I would like to come back.

United KingdomThe Wifi wasn't great, but I had a plan B with my own 5G SIM which worked decent enough. But then, having to work from a terrace, is it really a negative? :)
The view, the friendliness of the hosts and yet total privacy. Overall a brilliant experience and I can thoroughly recommend Zola as a base (perhaps except for lack of sunsets, but there isn't a better option for this without sacrificing other aspects).
