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.).

RomaniaThe location was excellent, close to everything we needed. The lady who owns the apartment welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. After a long journey, we were greeted with a delicious hot meal and dessert, which was truly a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

United KingdomWe felt that a walk-in shower would be a better option than the bath/shower combo, which, if you have short legs, isn't that easy to get in and out of. A handrail on the stairs would also make going down them feel more secure. In the main downstairs area we would suggest more surface space for guests to put their own items would be helpful. None of these prevented us from having a wonderful time.
This is a lovely apartment in a superb location. It is close to the small square of Plateia Kampanas where the locals go, which has a relaxing and friendly family atmosphere. The main living area is accessible via a lift and has two balconies, one facing NW and one SE, so you have the choice where to sit and enjoy the outdoors, based on the weather/time of day. There is a fully supplied kitchen, even having a choice of balsamic vinegars and olive oil for your salads! It is equipped to allow a full cooking experience, unlike most SC catering lets in my long experience. There is a downstairs toilet for convenience and a dishwasher and washing machine, both with everything supplied. On the balconies and in the living area are beautiful plants and flowers supplied by the island's leading florists. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a small interior bathroom, with all the toiletries supplied. The beds were superbly comfortable and the AC was very quiet, so didn't get in the way of sleep at all. Maria, the host, couldn't do enough for us. We were greeted with a homemade Greek salad and the offer of Gyros. She also arranged our taxi to the airport for our return and was always available to answer any questions we might have. A wonderful experience and true Filoxenia, like the Greece I first encountered long ago.

We recently stayed at this incredible Airbnb, and I can confidently say it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Maria and her husband went above and beyond, offering thoughtful touches like a welcome basket with local snacks, stocking up the fridge . The space itself was absolutely stunning. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with every amenity you could need. The bed was super comfortable, and the living area was cozy yet spacious—perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals if we chose to stay in. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we felt incredibly safe and relaxed throughout our stay. The host’s communication was excellent from beginning to end. They were quick to respond to any questions and offered helpful recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems. It truly felt like they cared about making our stay as perfect as possible. If you're looking for a getaway that combines comfort, convenience, and charm, I can't recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in town! 10/10! Thank you Beautiful Maria :)

Firstly, a lot of other hosts could learn how to actually host by visiting this apartment. Maria, the host at Diamond City Lux, is wonderful and has delivered a magnificent retreat for travellers to Argostoli. We were blown away by the facilities and amenities available, and the generosity of Maria is humbling and something really special. Secondly, it’s a great location and very safe. We felt very at home and comfortable at the Diamond City Lux! The host communicates well and was always available should guests need anything. Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, supermarkets and the bus station are all handily nearby too. Very highly recommended.

From there you are able to visit several different towns in Kefalonia. The Appartement was spotless and extremely well equipped. Everything you may require is at your disposal. The beds are very confortable. Maria is a wonderful host. Friendly, generous well informed should you need assistance. We very much enjoyed our stay there. Thank you Maria

RomaniaThe apartment is more than a simple accommodation, it is a wonderful place centrally located in the middle of the capital Argostoli, near tourist attractions, shops, taverns, etc. Practically everything is close: the Bosset Bridge, the seafront, shops, taverns, the center, the Caretta Caretta turtles. The apartment is located in an apartment building, on the second floor with elevator, which can be reached through two streets and has its own parking at the back entrance.The apartment is large and spread over two levels, with a large living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The entire apartment is tastefully furnished and has modern appliances for cooking and serving meals. My presentation is not enough for how much useful stuff is there. There are also two luxuriously furnished balconies, very clean, and one of them also has a barbecue. Plenty of towels, beautifully arranged and scented. In addition, the host provided us with beach towels, sunbeds and umbrella. But the big surprise was our host. Maria is a wonder, a sweet woman, cheerful, willing to help with anything, experienced in managing this business, who gave us an impeccable welcome, as if we were brothers. She showed us the parking lot and helped us bring our luggage inside. The even bigger surprise was at the entrance when we were greeted with lots of goodies - wine, beer, water, juices, chocolates, sweets, strawberries, bananas, and after a few minutes of settling into the apartment she arrived with hot pies and kefir. The stay was amazing because the apartment, although centrally located, is in a quiet area, with quiet neighbors, with everything close at hand. I can't end without reminding the fact that I didn't think there could be such a nice and obliging host. Thank you Maria for everything! I wholeheartedly recommend the host and the apartment and if I come back to Argostoli I will definitely come back to this wonderful apartment.

This is a great apartment in a very central location with the myriad of shops, cafes and restaurants, the De Bosset Bridge and the harbour all within a short walking distance. The apartment is quiet and safe and it has a parking, two delightful balconies and the building even has a lift. It has two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, accessible via a staircase. The bedrooms have sloped ceilings so to get in and out of the bed takes a little maneuvering but we quickly got used to it. Downstairs there is a well equipped kitchen with a dining table, a living room and a toilet. Maria, our lovely host, made our trip unforgettable! She went above and beyond of what we would normally expect from a host. She left us a really good welcome meal with a bottle of nice local wine for our arrival. She also gave us recommendations on restaurants and places to visit and things to do in Kefalonia. She even booked us a table in a restaurant for my birthday and arranged a birthday cake from what is known to be the best patisserie in Argostoli.

United Arab EmiratesThere's nothing we didn't like, but I thought this is worth mentioning. The property description mentions 2 bathrooms, but there is 1 upstairs bathroom with a shower, basin & toilet. The downstairs has a toilet & basin only. But it was not a big deal as we were with family so worked out fine.
We loved everything! The apartment was delightful, and it's equipped with everything you can think of. Maria was amazing. She welcomed us on arrival, filled the fridge with all sorts of goodies & arranged lunch for us. The apt is centrally located, with a parking bay & an elevator in the apt building. I would definitely recommend her apt. Thank you again Maria. xx
