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.).

FranceEverything was just perfect!
I have visited Meteora many times. And each time I tried to change hotels to add new impressions to the trip. And the most amazing thing is that in this fantastic place my intuition has never let me down and I was happy with the choice of hotels for the night. This time the same thing happened and I personally perceive it as a small miracle and a gift from above. My large family and I stayed at the Epavlis Meteora hotel and we were surrounded by such attention and care from the owner of the hotel - Spiros and his family. We all immediately had a feeling of home and comfort. Stylish, very comfortable, very conveniently located hotel in Kalambaka right at the foot of Meteora with spacious rooms and absolutely stunning views of the rocks and monasteries!!! Convenient parking, many delicious authentic Greek taverns nearby, Lidl supermarket. Delicious and varied breakfasts are served at the hotel at a convenient time for you in the morning. The owner of the hotel, Spiros, is a walking encyclopedia of monasteries, he will tell you everything you want to know, his English is excellent. The ride up by car is very convenient and takes no more than 7-8 minutes. If I were to describe this hotel briefly and succinctly, I would say: this is a great example of the love of the family that runs it for their business and their clients, each of whom becomes special and incredibly important to them. They are doing their best to make their clients leave Meteora and their hotel HAPPY. This is real, sincere Greek hospitality. Bravo Spiras! And bravo to your entire family. My warmest recommendations and hope to visit Meteora and this hotel again. Finally, I have found the perfect hotel in Meteora. Best wishes and love from France, the whole Kantarzhi family ❤️🙏🏻🇫🇷

United StatesWe didn't have a problem with this, and it's definitely not the hosts' fault, but the road getting up to the hotel can be a bit challenging because it isn't paved and it's fairly steep. The road is supposed to be fixed at some point, but it's unclear when. It seems intimidating, but it can be done, and it's a short drive. It's not enough of a reason to avoid it. Just be ready for a bit of a gravel road climb. It's very much worth it!!
This was our second time staying at the Epavlis. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming. They went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast is wonderful, and the view . . . breathtaking. We stayed in Room 3 (twice!), and you have two balconies: one faces the rocks behind, and the other gives you a beautiful view of the town, mountains in the distance and a few rocks. During sunset, it's just breathtaking.

The rooms were spotlessly clean and with a gorgeous view. The owner (Spyros) is a gem! He went all the ways out to make ourself comfortable, prepared us the wood for the chimney, helped with the fire and even offered (and we kindly accepted) to drive us the next day to Kastraki. Also, most breakfast products were home made by Spyros and his wife. A real treat! Hotel to be highly recommended and we would wholeheartedly return there again!

United StatesThe hotel and our room exceeded our expectations. The host, his wife, and staff were wonderful, helpful, and kind, and breakfast was delicious with many local specialties. Our room had two balconies: one that faced Meteora and the Monastery of St. Stephan, and one that faced the town and sunset. Our host kindly brought us a glass of wine for our first evening sunset. We could easily walk to town and many restaurants were nearby. The day we left to drive to Athens, our host hand wrote a map detailing where to stop for lunch by the sea and also make a stop at Delphi. That map is one of my favorite souvenirs of the trip!
