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.).

United StatesNothing. It was perfect for our stay.
A beautiful property with excellent staff who were very welcoming. It is in a great location. The monasteries of Meteora are a must see if visiting and the Stone Forest is a great place to stay when you visit.

AustraliaNothing - everything was great!
What an incredible stay! Aside from the beauty of Meteora surrounding you, we absolutely loved our stay here. All the staff are absolutely fantastic- so thankyou for your care, professionalism and humour. It was a great experience and they make you feel special. The room was beautiful too - modern, spacious, great beds and aircon - and that view. We couldn’t fault anything and felt we were surrounded by friends he did as much as they could to enhance your experience. Kastraki is a wonderful village and this is the best place to stay - and T Heir adjoining Gardenia Tavern which completes the whole experience. Thanks so much for- we hope to be back and will definitely recommend to our friends 😊

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike.
Spotlessly clean, huge comfortable bed, great shower. Very good location for visiting the monasteries. However the best thing about this place is Christo & his team, we couldn’t have had a warmer welcome, we ate supper there in the evening which was delicious, excellent value & again we were looked after with such friendliness & generosity. We would definitely return.

United KingdomSmall things really: No tea/ coffee making facilities in room although there is a communal little kitchen area in the breakfast room where you could make tea etc so that was ample. Maybe would have liked fresh low fat milk here but that's a small thing! Fridge in room was too cold and froze everything!
Lovely little hotel with restaurant attached which seems to be very popular. Large portions so be careful what you order! And free little dessert a nice touch. Location couldn't have been better and very easy to go on little walks from here. A few shops on the doorstep but we didn't use them. Staff very helpful and friendly. Very quiet with a nice view of the surrounding landscape despite being quite central. Thoroughly recommended.

The hotel looks brand new, the room was so beautiful. They welcome me so well, call me by my first name. In the morning there is a little breakfast that I really enjoy. There is a taverna just behind the guesthouse and it's the same family. I really live my stay there, very nice people. Best bed ever . I slept so good

AustraliaA shower curtain or screen would help to contain the water spray. There was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drains initially, but it seemed to dissipate after a while and with the bathroom window open.
We really appreciated the warm welcome and wonderful staff members and the beautiful views from our balcony. Breakfast was a treat - warm fresh bread, fruit, cheese pastries, yoghurt and honey. The restaurant attached to the guest house was great - once again, greeted like friends, good food and a lively buzz.

We loved everything!! So clean and tidy. Also, very quiet. We were able to play cards in the main area. The breakfast was free and tasty. Our favorite though was the young woman (Viatsia?) who greeted us as we arrived and continued to be a huge help. The adjoining restaurant had delicious food and the staff was jovial and wonderful. All in all a super experience.

AustraliaThe bed was too soft and not great for the back.
Great friendly helpful staff and able to pay cash on arrival. Room was spacious and super clean. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant attached. We enjoyed breakfast in the dining room. Kastriki is a lovely village so close to the Meteora rocks and for extra exploration. The guesthouse is in central area near the taxi stand and shops and restaurants. Our room had a lovely balcony looking out to the Meteora. The staff also were accommodating to store our luggage for a couple of hours while we explored around.

Every request we made was met with a definite desire to make our stay the best ever. Our late lunch at Boutique Gardenia was excellent and exactly what we needed after a long day of touring. I would definitely return to Stone Forest upon return to Meteora.
