Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaMy friend and I stayed at Palm for 4 days at the end of April 2025. Katerina and Frankie were excellent hosts - so warm and welcoming. The location was perfect - close to many restaurants, cafes, mini markets, and it is walking distance from the Port. Keep in mind that the walk from the Port to the hotel is all uphill. Palm is also minutes away from the top of the Chora where you can watch the sunset from the three churches including Hagios Georgios. Bring a bottle of wine and venture up at sunset or take in the pastel colours at sunrise. The hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, and the terrace offered a nice view of the town and ocean below. I would highly recommend Palm. Tip: We traveled at the end of April before tourist season kicks off at the end of May. Many restaurants and stores were closed. Ideal for those wanting to experience Ios before the chaotic party season begins.

Perfect Stay. No other way to put it. Perfect location, couldn’t get any closer to the center of town. Close to bus stop, grocery shop, restaurants, clubs, and also walking distance to many beaches. Exceptional hosts, Frankie and Katarina made us feel so at home, always stopped by for a chat to give us advice or ask us how our day was. We will really miss them and will be sure to return one day in the future hopefully. They also provided us with extra things that we needed over and above what was in the room like spoons and a kettle etc. The room was cleaned every day and had a stunning view overlooking the Chora.

Everything was absolutely amazing!!! The location was PERFECT! It was in walking distance from anything you could need including so many food places and cute shops. The bus stop was also a few minutes walk away! Franky and Katerina were so lovely and helped with anything we could need! They dropped us off to the port and gave us great advice about places to visit for our stay. The rooms were perfectly clean and the balcony had a beautiful view. I would recommend this to anyone!!

BelgiumOur stay here was amazing! Franky and Catharina were the best hosts I’ve ever met. They were very very friendly and gave a lot of information about the island. Franky even picked us up at the port and showed us the way so we would’nt get lost. The room was well equipped and the airconditioning was a live saviour. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. We would love to come back to this hotel!

TurkeyGoogle Maps shows wrong path from parking area to the hotel. It should mentioned in the hotel description to avoid climbing a wrong path in a very hot weather with luggages . A bottle of water would be nice for the first day.
Location was great in the Heart of Chora very close to all bars cafes shops. But be aware all chora is on the hill there is no way to reach by car. People with limited Mobility shall take it consideration. Room and bathroom was Newly decorated. In the front of the room was sitting area with sea view.

New ZealandGreat location in the heart of the village. just a 5 minute walk down to the main st where the super market is and less than a 5 min walk to where all the hustle and bustle is happening but just far away enough to not have or hear all the foot traffic. The room was clean and comfortable. The owners Frankie and wife were just incredible, so accommodating and look after you like they are your children. Thankyou guys you are both amazing people.

IsraelGoogle maps does not show u the shortcut to the property. The hostess sent us a message a day before but we missed it and they were not responding in the morning so we had to take the bus and walk there. Google maps is not good at all in Ios. We suggest looking at the map to know the general direction and then just walking in that direction, u will get where u need in much less time. Once the hostess showed us the shortcut it was fine. Also we saw kitchen in the photos but there was no kitchen, only refrigerator.
The property was in a beautiful place and the walk to the bus station is like seven minutes and it’s beautiful.
