Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomKitchen could have had a few more items such as a large sharp knife, corkscrew, ice cube tray. Bathroom was a mix of new and old. High bath side made it difficult to get in and out of for shower. A bath mat inside the bath would also have been useful as bath was slippery.
Originally given the Thetis room which was OK which just about had a sea/castle view but was then offered the Doto room which didn't have a sea/castle view but was much roomier so we went for that. The room was a very good size and comfy enough. Daily cleaning/towels was very good. Lady running the studios was very nice, obliging and happy to help. Lovely cheese pie! Also a basic breakfast package provided plus wine was a nice touch. Astypalea is a lovely island with a superb Chora. Overall we had a great stay.

The room was amazing exactly as advertised and very clean. The location was great and around 10 mins walk to the center of the town. There are some nice restaurants nearby as well. The host was super friendly, helpful and cordial. She really made us feel at home. The view from the balcony was splendid with a direct view to the castle and port, a great spot for an evening drink and breakfast. We were surprised with delicious local snacks that we highly appreciated. Overall an amazing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped.

United StatesNothing, this is an exceptional place!
The location is great, just 2 or 3 minutes walk to the town beach and all the restaurants, cafes in Pera Gialos. The owner Panagiota is wonderful, she really treated us like family, our studio was beautiful with fresh linens and towels daily and every morning she would bring delicious home made pies for us. She speaks excellent English and was extremely helpful when we had a late flight on the day we checked out. She arranged a pick up from the airport for us and then her husband Kostas drove us back to the airport when we left.

United StatesI liked everything about this property.
Phenomenal stay! First class service from arrival into port on the 4:30am ferry when I was met by Panagiota’s husband, Kostadinas, with keys for my studio in hand; to my departure when he so graciously drove me to the airport to catch my flight. The studio was outstanding, beautiful, modern, and exceptionally clean and the views were extraordinary. However, the real gem 💎 here is the owner, Panagiota. She was extremely attentive, brought cheese filled pastries and delicious cupcakes in the mornings, checked in to make sure I was doing well and answered every question I had about the island. I was so impressed with my stay that I can’t wait to return.

Our stay was amazing! The location is great, 2 min from the closest super market and the Astymove stop, next to the Pera Gyalos beach. Giota is an excellent host. She provided small things for preparing the breakfast, always with warm words and giving us insights about the island. The room was cleaned every day with the view being even better than the pictures. We hope that our roads will cross again in the future!

United StatesWhen I arrived the owner, Giota, tried to stick me in a small room without a view. We had had direct contact about me extending to six days because of my flight changes, and that a view of the castle that I had seen on my booking was important to me. She moved me into the appropriate room that I had seen online. But said I had to pay 10 euro per day more. I really had to accept it because the first room was so unacceptable. I'm sure she plays that trick on all visitors. Then on my first night, she recommended I go to their family restaurant just below my room. There was no one in the restaurant except a table of two men. Late into the night I got a serious case of diarrhea. Giota wanted to blame it on me eating something in Athens airport before I arrived. I was in the room, in bed.with diarrhea that lasted for 4 days, I used so many rolls of toilet paper and the diarrhea smelled distinctly of the octopus I had eaten at the family restaurant. On the second afternoon of my stay I became so weak and dehydrated I called a cab to take me to the hospital. The doctor examined me and ordered an electrolyte vitamin type shot to be given to me along with electrolyte packets to rehydrate me at a pharmacy. He said it would take at least two days more or a total of four days before I would be better. He also told me that it was very common that tourists have been coming to him 'because many of the local restaurants let their fish or food go stale rather than throw it out and still serve it to the tourist'. The only time Giota helped me was when I asked her to get me apples and the few things the doctor said I could eat. When it came to the bill being settled she still wanted the extra 10 euro for six days. I refused, but she still got more per day than we agreed upon.
For what I was paying and what happened I could have stayed in a far better place closer to the castle with a view.
