How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There was nothing I didn't like, the mattress was VERY firm. It's not ideal for folks who need softer accommodations.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts with us. We understand your comment about the shower size. The bathrooms were designed according to the building regulations at the time the hotel was constructed, and while they may feel compact, they fully meet the standards of that period. As for the price, it is influenced by many different factors such as the location, the view, the facilities, and the services provided, not only by the bathroom dimensions.

Verified reviewThe staff was amazing! Always there for us, polite and friendly and ready to answer all our questions and give information for the island. The hotel had beautiful views also and the rooms were very clean always.
The hotel overall is a little bit old and the rooms definitely need a bit of a refurbishment. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable and we had a bit of trouble sleeping. It definitely needs an upgrade. But other than that is a good value for money.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our staff, the cleanliness, and the views – we’re truly happy that you felt well taken care of during your stay. Our hotel is indeed an older property, built in 1987 and opened in 1993. Since then, we have made several renovations, but it’s not always possible to meet every personal preference regarding beds, mattresses, or pillows. We do understand how important a good night’s sleep is, and we’re always taking feedback into account to improve wherever possible. At the same time, part of Kastro Hotel’s identity is the classic style and the quality woodwork in the rooms – this is something we truly value and will not replace with modern but lower-quality materials. We really appreciate your honest feedback and are glad you found your stay with us good value for money. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kastro Hotel Δημήτρης

Thank you very much for your kind review and for choosing Kastro Hotel. We are glad you enjoyed the location and the beautiful view. The room you selected has a large shared balcony, which is a characteristic feature of these particular rooms. Since we are constantly improving our hotel, in the future we plan to create some separation so that the spaces feel a bit more private, while still keeping the traditional Ikarian courtyard elements that make this area special.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at Kastro Hotel in Ikaria. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the island, while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The staff were extremely friendly, always ready to help and share great recommendations about what to see and do. Our room was comfortable, well-kept, and had a beautiful view that made mornings and evenings especially enjoyable. The swimming pool is also a highlight - perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Overall, we totally recommend Kastro Hotel for anyone visiting Ikaria!

Verified reviewFriendly staff. Nice pool.
Very bad smell in the bathroom.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind words about our friendly staff and the pool. We truly appreciate that you noticed the effort we put into making our guests feel welcome. At the same time, we must admit we were a bit disappointed to see a score of 3, especially since the only issue mentioned was the unpleasant smell in the bathroom. As we explained to you in person, this smell is unfortunately caused by the municipal drainage system of Agios Kirikos and affects the entire area when the weather conditions are like this. It is not related to our hotel’s maintenance, and it is not something we are able to control or improve on our side. We truly wish it were different, and we hope that the overall experience of your stay made up for this temporary inconvenience. Warm regards, Dimitris – Kastro Hotel

Breakfast was not good. Bathroom was a bit small.
Dear Chris Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience at Kastro Hotel! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the rooftop pool, our location, and your walks to Therma. Tetty and Georgia will be very happy to hear your lovely comments about them. Regarding the points you mentioned: • Bathroom size: Our bathrooms are indeed small, as the hotel was originally designed this way. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to make them larger, but we always keep them clean and functional. • Breakfast: We try to offer a fresh and varied selection for €7, which we believe is great value. We always aim to balance quality and variety in the best way possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Ikaria soon! Warm regards, Dimitris Kastro Hotel

Verified reviewOld style hotel built on top of a hill. Wonderful view of the sea and of the town. It can get a bit breezy which is good in the summer nights. It is good value for money and needs a bit of refurbishment, but it is very clean. There is a lovely roof top pool & shaded area with sun loungers - all with views of the town & sea beyond. The reception staff was very friendly. There was no noise because of its location.
The bathroom in my room was a bit tired. It needs refurbishment. However, everything in the room was in good order.
Dear Tanja Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review. We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views, the peaceful location, and the warm hospitality from our reception team.
