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.).

GreeceThe facilities were poor. I am not sure about the water condition in the city but the villa had solty tap water. There was no shower curtains and when you took a shower the water was going everywhere. The kitchen was rusty. Wifi was very slow (3-4 Mbps).
The location is relevant OK. The staff was very helpful and the sheets/towels were changed every day.

United KingdomThere were no shops near to the hotel and we hadn't thought to buy water at the airport, so we had to get up and out in a taxi to get some in the morning.
We stayed here for one night and it was very convenient for a late flight arrival as the hotel is close to the airport. The pool was still open for us to be able to have a swim which was nice.

United KingdomSome of the facilities were a little "tired", and with a small amount of TLC, the cottage and the complex facilities could be smartened and brought up to date. However, none of this spoilt any part of our stay.
Location was really good - enjoyed the views of Skiathos town and of the airport which was really interesting. The cottage we rented was pure Greek - comfortable with all the facilities you would need and yet a little "rustic". A plus was having a swimming pool for a late afternoon swim after coming off the beach. The complex was quiet for most of the time which suited us.

Czech RepublicAn absolutely perfect place for avgeeks! There’s a stunning view of the airport right from the small terrace in front of the apartment. Antonis was amazing – always helpful and ready to bring anything we needed, and the cleaning lady was very kind as well. The stove is more suitable for light cooking, but who comes on holiday to cook anyway? :) Thank you – we’ll definitely be back! P.S. Not suitable for small children – the terrace has no railing, so there’s a risk of falling.

United KingdomThe toilet room is tatty and the sink unit is falling apart. The kitchen area is tatty too.. Plug socket broken. Rusty cutlery. No tea towel provided. No bag in bin in toilet when we first got there. Cleaners didn't clean toilet or mop floors the whole time we were there. Only one change of towels for whole week which we had to ask for.
We stayed in the hut and loved the view from the huge private terrace. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was great. Loved the dogs.

GreeceSmelly towels, lack of shampoo and soap, very hot in the 2nd floor- like in the sauna (air conditioner was unable to cool the 2nd floor and the fan was too noisy). Broken handles and furniture. Seriously overpriced even for the high season.
Nice view from the balcony. Friendly host.

United KingdomThe only thing that was a bit of a disappointment was that the pool bar was closed, despite there being quite a few residents. The nearest market was a half hour walk, so it might be an idea to rent a car if you’re staying here.
Such a relaxing location - we were in a little separate cottage with a nice patio area and sun loungers. The cottage had a huge comfortable bed, really good shower room (with one of those rainfall shower heads), and a fantastic view over the bay and airport - brilliant for if you like to watch the planes land and take off. Put simply, we just didn’t want to leave. The walk from the property into Skiathos takes about half an hour and, in the dark, there are stretches without any lighting - so bring a torch. Apostolos, the owner, was so friendly and kind - when we said we were walking to the airport after check out, he offered to give us a lift, which was over and above what we would have expected!

It was very quite all day and night except from the fact that it is near the airport and you get to see a few landings per day ( it is a small airport) but this is like a bonus because it is something that you have never see before...a spectacular show !

Czech RepublicThere wasnt anything I disliked.
I loved the view and the garden. Its nice and quiet, away from the town, the planes can be heard, but the airport is not that busy which makes the planes more of an attraction than a real nuisance. One can easily walk to the town in 20 mins or to the supermarket or to the airport. The appartment is very basic but clean and appliances (electric stove, fridge, airco) work well and Apostolos is a very friendly host. And the pool area is really nice.
