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.).

We had a very pleasant stay at Socrates Apartment. The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was quiet but still close to the beach and restaurants, which made it very convenient. Eleni was a friendly and helpful host, always ready to assist with any questions. Overall, a great value and perfect for a relaxing holiday

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect.
Our stay at Socrates apartment was perfect. Eleni and her family were perfect hosts, helpful, friendly, and responsive. The location was absolutely perfect 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes from the main area of shops, restaurants and the high street. Even with it being so close to amenities it was really quiet. The room was beautifully designed with a luxury feel and really spacious, much bigger than you would usually expect. They have done an amazing job with the decoration and details. The patio area was lovely to have breakfast on and really spacious. I couldn't fault it.

EVERYTHING. The owners could not have been anymore helpful and friendly. The apartments are exceptional! So modern, clean and spacious. The bathroom has a power shower and is beautifully designed. The bed is so comfy with lovely fresh linens. We booked due to its location which is 5 min stroll to the beach. All in all we hope to be returning next year. Thank you Socrates family for making our holiday so fabulous!

Located in a quiet street just off the centre of Skala. Run by a family who were always very friendly and helpful. Beautifully finished apartment, modern bathroom with lovely walk in shower. Large balcony overlooking the pool of the hotel across the road. We eat at the Socrates restaurant below 4 times which was excellent each time.

United KingdomI’m not a big fan of the open style showers found in this property and many similar properties these days. Water pressure was also quite low to the bathroom tap only.
This was our second time staying at Socrates. The extra space of the triple room was great and came well equipped with an iron, drying line, hairdryer, fridge and safe. AC was effective and easy to use. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming too! Couldn’t late checkout as they were fully booked this year, but they allowed us to keep our luggage inside the restaurant until we had to leave. We will be back!

United KingdomThere was a fridge and a coffee machine provided, there were only 2 cups, 2 glasses 1 bowl and 2 teaspoons There were only 4 coffee pods supplied at the beginning of the stay and these were never replenished. No plates or further cutlery were provided. The room was lovely, we like to buy in fruit and yogurt for our breakfasts (Socrates restaurant doesn't open until evening) so it would have been nice to have a few more facilities so that we could have eaten breakfast out on the lovely balcony.
Location is very good, a couple of mins walk to main restaurants and bars, but above a quiet taverna which although is open in the evenings, was never noisy. Great balcony area with a little table and 2 chairs as well as a line you can hang your wet swimwear on. Opposite a small apartment block with a good sized swimming pool that you can use. The owner Dimitri is lovely - really informative and kind. Rooms cleaned every day with towels being replaced very frequently. Plenty of local street parking and free car parking areas. Socrates taverna is a great option for eating at which we did a couple of nights during our stay.
