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.).

CanadaWe originally booked a room in the historic castle, but the hostess encouraged us to look at two rooms. The room in the castle felt old and original and would have been a good experience for one night, but with low ceilings and no windows we would not have enjoyed it for three nights. We stayed in a larger apartment with kitchen, living area and separate bedroom, which was new but built in the same style. It was extremely comfortable and very quiet since we were the only ones on the property for the first two nights.

CanadaNeed to hand wash clothes but they dry quickly on rack outside. Need GPS to find the place and ours didn’t always work.
Interesting history. Fantastic, informative hostess who spoke good English. The printout and brochure were a big help also. Great wifi. Cooling breeze off the ocean when we were there. Access to our rooms was flat. Could park next to the patio. We were in a new section but it was similar to the old section in terms of architecture and colours. Next time we’d stay in the original Mill room to experience the authenticity of that. Situated close to Diros caves, pottery shops. Five-8 minute drive to Areopoli where evening strolling is a must on the little streets closed to traffic. Super ambience with many little eateries and shops. Loved it! Streets to the castle are understandably extremely narrow and crooked but not steep.

GreeceLack of privacy in the room. We were 4 adults and in order to reach the bathroom, had to go through the our frineds' bedroom.
I loved the architecture, surroundings and local products offered at the castle. Mrs Kaiti was very welcoming and assisted us with everything we needed. If you want to relax in the evening, I strongly recommend the property itself for a drink, top!

Canada- We booked 2 nights but the cleaning wasn’t done in between the 2 days - breakfast was 12 euro per person and wasn’t that great - They had some Greek coffee in the room but no milk cups in the fridge. - the water is very hot in the shower and you can get burned if you touch the faucet. (We got burned and the shower head is right beside)
The place was gorgeous and beautiful. A person was waiting for us at our arrival which was attentive.

ItalyThe most beautiful place! Attention to detail, extremely clean, amazing location with lovely views. We had booked only 2 nights while visiting Mani, but we wished we had more time there. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we could need. Dimitra is the most excellent host with an exceptional attention to customers, a very very nice lady, with a warm smile, professional and empathic. We had booked a 2 bedroom tower accomodation. Dimitra showed us what we had booked: really charactieristic and beautiful, but she explained that maybe it was not ideal for 5 people, so she had also prepared an alternative solution for us so we may choose what was was best for us. That was really a splendid gesture. All in all our stay was above and beyond expectations.

AustraliaIt’s a little way out of town or a village so you need a car to explore or go to the beach or a restaurant but a great base to travel around the Mani, the Caves of Diros, etc.
Great opportunity to stay in a Mani tower house / Castle. Apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved the washing machine and outside Court yard. We arrived a little early and were able to check in and warmly welcomed by our hosts.
