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.).

TurkeyThe location of the hotel was incredibly beautiful, very close to both the old town and the port. The breakfast was sufficient, thank you very much again for the bag they gave me as a gift when leaving. If I'm in Patmos again, I'll definitely stay at the same place.

United Statesunbearably noisy when tenants were walking to their rooms and when doors were opened/ closed. I woke startled in the middle of the night at least 10 times in my 3-day stay there. Even during the day, the street traffic noise/ tenant noise was very bothering. At one point, I wanted to vacate the hotel but all others were fully booked. If the hotel can take care of the noise issue, they would be ratrd the best in the area.

TurkeyMy wife and I have stayed in hotels across many different countries, and this place definitely ranks in our top 3. We had a wonderful and relaxing time in room 28. The room and bed were spacious, and the bathroom was even larger and more functional than I expected. The balcony is a bit small — but hey, keep in mind I’m a guy weighing over 100 kilos! As for the staff, all I can say is: absolutely amazing! Super friendly and always smiling — such warm-hearted people. The hotel is incredibly central, so there’s not much I need to say on that front. But what’s worth noting is that despite being in the heart of everything, it's on a very quiet and friendly street. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here!

I hired an electric bike which was great. Room was a good size, clean, mini fridge, tv and all important air con. Nice balcony too with table, two chairs and a little drying rack. Breakfast buffet was great value with wide selection of food. The hosts were up at 2:30 am to let me in, and always very helpful and welcoming.

TurkeyWell theres nothing to complain about... Just dont forget here is not a five stars hotel but you will feel cosy!
First of all Dinos was very helpfull from beginning to very end, thank you so much Dinos!! The place is very comfortable and clean. Very central, easy to reach ferries. As a mom and daughter we had an very late ferry to catch and just to inform you, we had an enjoyable and relax time while we were waiting. Also they are providing a nice breakfast(feta,kalamata,yogurt,honey, pastries and more...) just for five euro and you dont have to book; if you feel like it you can choose to have it. We were happy to stay here. :)

United StatesWe found the bathroom shower quite small. It wasn't a problem for either of us as we are on the small side but a larger person would have found it difficult to utilize it.
It was so convenient to where we disembarked from the ferry. We are in our 70s and were concerned about getting our luggage to the hotel from the ferry. No probelm. It was only a five minute walk or less and the hotel host met us in the street as we arrive to show us to our room. He also made helpful suggestions to address our concerns about getting to the sites we wanted to visit. Thanks to him we visited the monastery and the cave of the apocolypse at a time when we almost had them all to ourselves and enjoyed the quiet unrushed experience. Our room was larger than most we had had during the previous 13 days in Greece. Bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for our luggage. Airconditioner worked well and we enjoyed peace and quiet. Never heard any street noise or other hotel guests. Breakfast was quite ample and offered a variety of choices. The room was immaculate as was the bathroom.
