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.).

A great option for a secluded vacation. We booked a small villa for two and it was wonderful: perfectly cleaned, with dishes and spices for self-cooking and breakfast included in the price. We really liked the pool and privat well-designed territory, the pool temperature was comfortable - on a cool evening the warm water resembled a jacuzzi, and in the heat it was comfortable because there was a small difference between the temperature of the water and the air. Wi-Fi worked well, there was no one around, so we enjoyed nature, swimming and birds singing. Beds were comfortable, very good slip. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I felt protected in the villa and in long-awaited privacy. For breakfast there were a pack of bread, pita, croissants, butter, jam and honey, juices, boiled eggs, local cheeses and olives. For drinks - local tea with milk. But notice, that coffee isn’t included and paid separately. Also there are snacks that you can buy right on the villa. We veer on car and bought products to cook ourselves, so there was enough food. Surely recommend!

Knifes are horrible :-) Bbq could use an update. Also 2 big bowls for salads etc would be great instead of just 1 medium sized.
Clean and neat Appartement a little outside of busy area. Everything, even BBQ available. Super friendly and fast service!

The location is a bit far from the city center. There was a lot of Chlorine in the pool water. We needed an extra bed, and thought it was included in the booked rooms, but found out that the third room is actually outside the villa, so we couldn't let our child sleep there, but they brought an extra bed free of charge.
The place is clean and tidy The garden is nice and well maintained. The weather was perfect when we stayed in December, so we had a nice BBQ lunch after swimming.

The mattresses were very soft and not good for my back, and they maybe need to be replaced. Also, a hair dryer could have come handy since temperatures drop in the evening.
The villa was clean and quiet since it was located away from the main road. The silence was absolute, the best place to rest and connect with the surroundings.
