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.).

GreeceSome of the nearby buildings which are ugly and not preserved .these are not hotel's properties.
The hotel is built like cycladic houses and gives the feeling of being on an island. The whole installation is in very good condition and the staff is very friendly and polite. The city's main street ,where all the taverns and shops are, is a 5 minutes walk .

This is truly an exceptional hotel where everything is perfect. Spotlessly clean and wonderful, genuine and kind staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The owners must be really pleased with all their staff who work incredibly hard to make Viva Mare work.

United Arab EmiratesA sitting chair /small sofa in the bedroom would be nice to relax without having to use the bed to read watch tv. Couldn’t initially find the reception when entering off the main road.
Great facilities, wonderful staff and a lovely pool. TVs in bedroom and kids sleeping area. Breakfast was good. Lots of choice over the two days stay. Short walk to the lovely relaxed beach and restaurants. Wonderful staff. Extremely clean! We had an issue with our shower head which was replaced instantly with a smile.

United KingdomNot much to dislike, Viva Mare is on a hill its short distance downhill to the sea/bars but its uphill coming back but after ones fill of the local wine it doesn't seem so bad. I guess if there was a horsey carty thing to give you a lift up it would be fine!
Loved the pool. Apartment A5 was great, up about 18 steps from the pool area. 2 balconies one facing the pool the other the town. 2 air conditioners one in the bedroom one in the kitchen/lounge area. Short walk down hill to the sea front beach/restaurants/bars/harbour. Parking at the top of Viva Mare is best, don't drive up from the sea front. Breakfast was excellent nothing was a trouble. The apartment was cleaned daily, new sheets, shower gel etc and to an excellent standard. Reception always helpful and always there. Foinikounta has plenty of restaurants, the ones in the street are slightly cheaper generally than the ones on the sea front however you could argue that the quality of food is better at the sea front restaurants. We didn't have a bad meal anywhere. Beach is fairly narrow, sandy and the water is clear and cool. There is also a supermarket in town.

GreeceMostly as an advice: The parking spot near the street had not fixed parking spots and several cars were occupying more than one spots. Though the staff was acting very quickly to solve any issue.
Cleanliness. Staff service, attendance and attitude. Property maintainance. Everything was fresh painted and maintained. Any problem was solved instantly.
