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...).

I loved the location, super close to Chora and the room was easy to find and always very clean. Nikos (the owner) was very friendly, helpful and kind a great contact to have. He gave us pointers for the island and was alwasy available to reach, he even picked us up from and to the port. The room was very comfortable with beautiful view of the Chora, very close to amenities incl. a local super market, the local club, bars, restaurants and the bus station.

PortugalVery well located in the city center of Ios. Located only a few minutes away by walk from the restaurants and night life which is ideal for solo traveler, especially women when going home alone at night. The Owners were very nice and helpful making the stay very smooth.

United KingdomI like everything about Lofos the Hill. I dislike developments by millionaires that take away from.the natural beauty of the island.
Have travelled to Ios since 1981. I prefer the natural authentic qualities of Ios. The rooms at Lofus are traditional village rooms with all you need. The location excellent. Nikos is great. Very helpful and an authentic Greek family.

Niko was a phenomenal host - offered free transport to and from the port and was very helpful throughout our stay. The location is what made this stay so enjoyable for us as it’s a 2 min walk to clubs and markets + there’s a supermarket at the end of the driveway. The room was comfortable with a nice porch. Bus stop is close too.

BulgariaEverything was perfect!
Ios it's perfect island for vacation and Lofos The Hill is the top place to stay in. Nikos(our host) picked us up from the port when we arrived and drove us to the port when we were leaving. We stayed at his hotel for 5 nights. He was all the time kind and great to us. We asked for a room on a second floor before we arrive and he gives us room on floor 2. Nikos respects the details and the opinion of his guests. All the hotel staff are wonderful, especially the girl who cleaned the rooms. She was PERFECT, every day perfect clean service. Everything was clean and tidy, new towels every day. Yes, you can read rightly, every day new perfect towels. Most of the places in booking.com will provide you new towels on day 3. Lofos - The Hill is providing new towels every day! We needed a printer to print our boarding passes, Nikos helped us with that as well. He and his daughter printed our boarding passes. Really appreciate this perfect service and kind attitude. Thanks for all, Nikos! We definitely will search for Lofos - The Hill once we decide to turn back to Ios.

AustraliaThere wasn’t enough toilet paper. The fridge didn’t work properly and was leaking. The air conditioner was the biggest pain as it would turn off every time someone opened a door or a window. For a solo traveller it would be fine but in a room with other people, it meant every time someone left you had to turn it back on (including when you are sleeping). The rooms are just not big enough for 3 people. In the triple rooms the beds were so close together they were basically touching and you could barely walk between them.
The location is really good. The hotel is located on the top of a steep hill which wasn’t ideal.

South AfricaWash hand basin tiny with shelf above so even difficult to brush you teeth or shave. No kettle in room but a kitchen at reception however we were refused permission to be able to boil water to make our own coffee. We asked if the tap water was drinkable and were told it was not. There are sometimes outlets for drinking water around town which are free but he didn’t tell us there was one. He said we must buy our water from the supermarket. We subsequently found out there was a drinking water outlet right across the road from us. Unbelievable to be so obstructionist.
Good location but on steep hill. The view very nice across to the Chora and supermarket close by.
