Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SlovakiaAn incredibly great experience. The location was fantastic. The owners were even better and extremely nice and helpful. The apartment was about a 10 minute walk to the center. We went to the beach with just a towel and we could leave our keys in a coded box. Isn't that amazing? No worries about your belongings. Highly recommended!!!

NetherlandsAll was perfect ! Nothing negative.
The appartment was according the specifications provided. Even more! A warm welcome when we arrived inside. We had the big appartment where easily you can stay with 2 adults and 2 kids. Fruit plate, some snacks, water and drinks, wine and more. All provided by the host/ owners Georgia and Yiannis. This couple even made our entire week so much better! Recommendations and guide us with all our questions. Thanks to both of them. 🙏🏽 Location = perfect, 30 seconds from the beach. You have direct access to multiple beacht restaurants and small lounge clubs. Mini supermarkets in the street. On the corner at end of the street excellent steakhouse Stavlisio steakhouse. At the beach Kouros 🏖️ was our favorite espeacially their chicken salad. Appartment was very calm and relaxed in the nighttime, no noise. For us it was fully equipped with all we needed. Parking free. Also a spacious shared patio where you can have some drinks and chill in case needed. It was comfortable, hygienic and quiet. All rooms with airco. To get the 🔑 was easy at the mainsoor in a box. The place is only 10/12 min walking from the centrum. So you don’t need a car. From this appartment you can do everything by walking. In the evening it is relaxing as you don’t have the noise of the nighttime/ nightlife. This is exactly what we love. All by all price wise you get value for your money which makes this appartment and hosts so special that we will come back next year. Thanks to George and Yiannis. Wonderful people. Efgharisto!

AustraliaI'll tell you exactly what I didn't like. These exceptional people have now set everyone else to fail. They spoilt us so much and nothing else will compare with other accommodation. 1
We really love the beautiful hosts, Yiannis and Georgia. They are now life long friends. Firstly, we were greeted by both with open arms. They provided a large plate of freshly cut cantelope, Watermelon & grapes. Fresh yoghurt, butter, jam, water, juice, toast, muffins and a good bottle of chilled rose wine. What a way to kick off our holiday in Kos! The apartment is luxurious and modern. Fantastic facilities including washing machine and kitchen with everything including oil, salt and pepper. The bed was very comfortable. It is a couple of feet away from the beach. The apartment is beautifully decorated with gorgeous touches of shells, flowers, plants, wall art, mugs. It is thoughtfully laid out. Big TV & great air con. It even has a table & chairs in and out of the balcony. It even had plenty of fresh towels and a hamper basket & pegs with washing machine tablets. Everything has been thought out carefully on how to make your stay better. It's about a 25 minute walk to the town or harbour. Great to get those 10000 steps in! There are very good bakeries, hairdresser, nail technician, supermarket and restaurants very close.

ItalyDefinitely the place you want to be for your stay in Kos. The apartment is brand new, well-furnished with all the features you need, and located in an ideal spot. Nice beaches are just a few meters away, and the old town is within 10 minutes on foot, with great restaurants along the way. At night the neighborhood is quiet. Georgia and Yiannis are truly special people—easily the best hosts we’ve ever had. They really took care of us.

We had a pleasant stay at Sea Star Apartments, located right between Paralia Kos and Lambi Beach. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, and everything needed for a relaxed visit. The balcony was surprisingly roomy, with clothes pegs ready for use. The hosts were kind and helpful, making sure things went smoothly. A nice touch was the sliced melon waiting in the fridge when we arrived. Anette/Frank

The owner Yiannis kindly collected the four of us from the port to the town in his very comfortable car. Much appreciated in the heat - it is easy to walk to the apartments though from the port with the property brilliantly located. The little touches the owners provide are exceptional. All the equipment is brand new. The beds were super comfy. We were provided a welcome pack which included some delicious watermelon the fridge. There is an online guide informing you of recommended restaurants and beaches. Having the 2 apartments next door to each other we could chat on the balcony.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The hospitality of the SeaStar was amazing. Communication was so good. Ioannis and his wife organised a beautiful apartment for our family union. The location was by the seaside, 2 min walk to the seaside, the flat was clean, comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. They even went the extra mile to help arrange another accommodation, as I made a mistake in the booking and had to find another location for 1 night. We had an unforgettable reunion as a family in Kos, and SeaStar had a huge part in it. Thanks a lot.

Czech RepublicMaybe it would be good to add a few more pieces of cutlery, but not really necessary...
The stay in in SeaStar Appartments was absolutely great! What should have been a recovery time after my knee operation and my niece´s skin problems, turned out to be really splendid holiday. We were grateful for the excellently equipped, light and clean flat in a very short distance from the sea, pleasant surroundings among the local people and especially to the most helpful hosts. Yannis and Georgia enabled us to enter the appartment even before the check-in time, arranged a transfer from the air-port and adviced us in many many ways. We really felt relaxed and at home in their place.

AustraliaNot the owners fault but we would of been better off in the historical part of town and not the beachy touristy part. That's personal and nothing to do with the perfect apartment.

Perfect from start to finish! Yiannis met us at the apartment to welcome us and was extremely helpful throughout or stay; Yiannis and Georgia are excellent hosts and were on hand if we needed anything. The apartment was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, with great attention to detail. There really was everything we needed. Our apartment had a small balcony with clothes drying space and a view out across the sea to Turkey! In addition we had use of the private enclosed courtyard (nice for dinner), and a table and chairs outside (ideal for evening olives and Ouzo ;). We made very good use of all of these! To pick out a few features, it was nice to have a washing machine in the apartment (you don’t need to pack too much to stay here), the beds were excellent and there was air conditioning with a quiet mode (effectively silent) for a good night’s sleep. From the perspective of location, it was perfect for what we wanted: a short, pleasant walk into Kos, plenty food shops nearby (AB supermarket 5 mins walk), and about 90 seconds walk away from the beach, or indeed a tasty cocktail 😁 from a wide range of beach bars. At the same time (and paradoxically), the apartment is in a quiet residential area, so its peaceful too! You could *easily* spend all your time here, enjoying the beach, the apartment and the bars and restaurants but its a great base to explore further too; for example we booked a tour to Nisyros, took the ferry to Bodrum and hired a car for a day to travel to Kefalos and a few other places. All easy to do from this location. This was one of our best (possibly the best) holidays ever. All good, zero stress and amazing service. We were able to store our bags and fully enjoy our last day and then Yiannis very kindly dropped us off at the airport. You just can’t get better than this! Absolutely fantastic holiday. We WILL be back 😉

Very supportive owners, the best I have ever seen since a very long tlme. I had to work remotely from the room. When I told them I had nowhere to work until the check-in time, they kindly arranged the small terrace for me to work until the check-in time. They also tried their best for an early check-in for free. The kitchen has more than basic staff and the room is nicely decorated. The internet was also speedy and stable. I had no problems with connection even though all my calls were video enabled. During our conversations, I learnt that they worked on the infrastructure to improve the internet. The apartment is 20m to the beach. I had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommed this place.

NetherlandsThe only thing I would suggest for improvement is the softness of the bed and pillows, but that’s just a minor detail in an otherwise perfect stay.
I had an incredible stay at SeaStar Beach Apartments. The hosts (Georgia and Yiannis )were incredibly helpful and responsive, making my entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The location was exactly as advertised, perfectly situated and convenient for all my plans. (Super close to various nice beach club(s)) The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, which made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Overall, this place deserves a 10/10 rating. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch experience!
