How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewExcellent location, staff very friendly. Special mention to Kostas who works in the bar in the evenings. Food was delicious and good value for money. Can highly recommend the club sandwich!
Room cleaning could have been better.

Verified reviewGood location, comfy beds...was fine as a base. Maid service was good.
Very dated and basic bathroom. If bathrooms were improved this would make a big difference. Air con only in the bedroom, tv only in the other room.

Verified reviewLocation 10/10. Spacious hotel room. Pool and restaurant/bar were good.
The bathroom was very dated with a narrow shower (shower head was broken, water sprayed everywhere). The Wi-Fi was sporadic at best. The feel was more of a motel.

Verified reviewVanessa Hotel is amazing value for money. Staff are just wonderful. Having stayed in a number of different hotels in Kalamaki over the years, we would 100% stay here again. The location is superb, and Kaleigh & Costas in the bar are just the best. Can't wait to book again.
Absolutely nothing

Verified reviewThe hotel is ideally located in the middle of the Kalamaki main road, however despite of this there is no disturbance from the nearby bars and facilities. The hotel is clean, sheets and towels were changed regularly. The hotel apartments have the best self catering facilities I have experienced, they have a fridge freezer, cooker top, microwave, kettle and more than enough pans, cups, glasses, plates, bowls and cutlery etc - I was able to prepare food for my family properly whenever we didn’t fancy eating out. The hotel apartments are spacious, there is air con, safe, hair dryer, TV, WiFi available in the rooms. The staff are helpful and polite. The snack bar on site is reasonably priced. There is a pool available which is clean and not too busy, always sun loungers available - although I didn’t really use them much as I am a beach person.
The floor in the bathroom floods when you shower - however this is the norm in Greece, I have been travelling to Greece for over 40 years two plus times a year and never ever stayed in a hotel apartment where the bathroom floor doesn’t flood when you shower haha.

Verified reviewRight in the centre of Kalamaki, close to restaurants and tavernas. The beach is a short pleasant walk. The restaurant has a good selection of snacks and drinks and does the cheapest full English on the strip.
The pool area has a lot of sunbeds but you are right off the Main Street so in full view.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located in a prime position on the main strip with everything you need within walking distance. The bar/restaurant area is excellent and service just as good. They accommodated my room request which was most welcome.
The large balcony attached the rom I had would benefit from a sunbed as it was a real sun trap.

Verified reviewThe people working there were really helpful, sweet and friendly. Enough sun beds. Nice bar and fair prices. Well equipped kitchen even though we missed a bread cutting knife. Super market with fresh bread and vegetables across the street.
The wifi could be stronger, but still fine.

Verified reviewPerfect location. Very friendly - only downside is the amount of teenagers they allow to come in off the street and swim. Loud, jumping and little respect for hotel guests
Less junk food in the bar cafe. Too English for me!
