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.).

SwitzerlandInternet connection was constantly getting interrupted. Couldn’t even have a call. Understand that the issue is with the internet providers given the area is so remote. Would suggest starlink
Beautiful space, serene and private. Large window front provided amazing sea view. Great check-in experience. Received plenty up to date tips that proved to be very valuable.

AustraliaIt was far from the main town chora and Kapsali however the roads are better in this side of the island.
Excellent place for a family of 4 Close to Avlemona 6 minute drive It’s hard to find at first, don’t miss the dirt road. Once you find the villa you will love the manicured gardens and view.

GreeceMaybe not a good fit for a family. Surely not a good fit if you don't have a car. Surely not a good fit for people with disabilities.
The place is very very nice, the room arrangement for a couple's stay is excellent. Very clean, superb veranda with a view. Fully equipped kitchen, private parking, super quiet, very professional host, friendly cats.

NetherlandsEverything was perfect.
A fantastic apartment with a lot of space. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The furniture is very comfortable. The apartment is on a kind of estate with beautiful gardens. The view from the terrace was amazing. One of the best apartments I have ever stayed at. Only superlatives for Villa Venus! As for the surroundings, it's quite near Avlemonas, a beautifully designed village.

New ZealandVilla Venus is a ground floor apartment adjacent to a lovely established garden and olive orchard with great views down to the beach. The apartment which isn't huge was just perfect to two people, offering a comfortable indoor seating area with modern kitchen and well appointed bathroom. The bedroom was large, with large louvered windows opening to a covered deck where we spent most of our time. Andreas our host was very accomodating, he joined us on our first night and left us well versed with things to do, see and eat in Kythira. Villa Venus is a 15 minute walk or 2 minute drive down to Paleopoli beach which is a long white fine pebble beach. 5 minutes along the coast is Avlemonas Village with great food and drink options and many small swimming platforms allowing access to the harbours clear water. Kythira was the highlight of our Greece trip. The many villages, the great walking trails, the size of the island, nothing was more than 20 minutes away from Villa Venus remain in our memory. Not forgetting Kaladi Beach our vote for best beach in Greece. Cheers Andreas all the best and thank you for letting us stay, we hope Kythira remains a hidden gem.

AustraliaNot being able to flush toilet paper. This had to be disposed of by placing it in a bin. Not a huge problem but took some getting used to.
The setting was beautiful with a view of the sea from the patio. The room was very comfortable, with a small kitchenette which catered for most needs. The fridge had a small freezer section too. There is on-site parking. The host, Andreas, was very helpful. He had prepared a map with notes and recommended places to visit, and was also very communicative while not being intrusive. Located near to a number of beaches and the town of Avlemonas which was wonderful. Most beaches have umbrellas and loungers to hire with some free if you use the cafe. It is also close to the ferry wharf so convenient for when we left.

GreeceThe internet connection was terrible and virtually unusable, a problem compounded by the fact that mobile service was also unavailable in the region. The room itself felt old and tired, and the bathroom was not well-maintained, with a persistent odor at times. Additionally, simple amenities like a kitchen towel and a place to dry dishes were not provided. Given the steep price, the lack of these fundamental basics made the overall value of the stay extremely low.
The location and views were absolutely stunning, and the convenient on-site parking was a major plus. Most notably, Andreas was a wonderful host who provided an impressive amount of detailed information about the island upon our arrival.
