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...).

United KingdomPerfect hotel for a weekend in Athens! The staff are friendly and helpful, great location near lots of shops, restaurants and bars, and close enough to all the main sightseeing places. Rooms are beautifully decorated and we loved the attention to detail - option for a private breakfast in your little garden area outside the room, iPads loaded with chill Spotify playlists and lovely toiletries to use. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomShila is the most aesthetically pleasing hotel I have been in. Textures, colors, smells work exceptionally well. I would label it as alternative luxury - quiet, understated, whispers instead of shouting. I felt really at ease and at home there. The hotel only has 6 rooms, so it’s really quiet. The service was impeccable. They arranged lunches and dinners in great places, laundry service was super quick. I would really recommend this hotel for a couple for a romantic escape. Special thanks to Era and Nickoleta for looking after me on this stay. I will be returning to Shila sooner rather than later.

United StatesThe beds, sheets, couches and seating were all comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with eggs, croissants, fruit, honey, juice! Perfectly located: Syntagma, Ermou, Voukourestiou, Mt Lycabettus all within minutes walking distance. We went to NYX Japanese, 1 min walk away, with amazing Acropolis view! The rooftop garden was lovely and I personally loved the classic verandas looking over the quiet street below.

United StatesI loved everything
Located in one of the loveliest neighborhoods of Athens and walking distance to anything you desire. I selected the garden room which was immaculate, tastefully decorated and unique with a beautiful large outdoor space. Comfortable bed. Delicious and healthy breakfast. I also loved the shower and all of the nice smelling soaps. Perhaps best of all though, was the warm welcome from the lovely staff. They went out of their way to make sure my needs were met.

Retro vibes, with an artistic touch. Velvet textures, warm lights. Staying in a place like this almost feels like you are living in a poem. Comfortable beds and bathrooms. Very clean rooms. Amazing service, Adeelia and Aira, made sure we have everything we need, and were kind enough to offer us complimentary goods. Staying here, made Athens extra magical.

I'm not sure I can find anything I didn't like about our stay at Shila. It is just beyond beautiful, and there are so many lovely items from local artisans and also lots of information on the artwork dotted around. Absolutely gorgeous aesthetic. I also loved all of the handmade shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and wished I had bought some! The staff were very professional, warm, and helpful and went above and beyond for our stay. We would definitely return and this time try to find the hidden rooftop!

United StatesNothing to dislike. Wish we had stayed longer!
The furnishings and curated artwork make it feel as though you’re spending the night at someone’s uniquely fabulous home, rather than at a hotel. There was so much personality while still remaining soft and romantic. We loved our room’s attached courtyard filled with plants and comfortable seating, and we chose to have the included breakfast there rather than the rooftop. Reception was friendly, the digital guestbook was perhaps the best I’ve ever seen (it includes everything from how to operate the coffee machine to their art catalog and even menus where the staff will order in food for you). Despite being in a vibrant part of the city, it was very quiet and felt tranquil.
