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 reviewRita!!! I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful hospitality, your care and the fact that you made us feel at home! The house is nestled between the mountains only 10min by car from the “main village” of Theth. We arrived rather late, but Rita kindly offered to cook us dinner; and it wasn’t just any dinner: grilled trout on an open grill, fresh Greek salad and veggies. The room was immaculately clean and super comfortable. A lovely home-made breakfast was served out in the beautiful garden with a view of the magnificent mountains drenched in the early morning light. Rita welcomed us in “her home” and it truly made our visit to Theth that much more special and just all around lovely. Thank you Rita… until we meet again 🙏😍
I loved everything about it!

Verified reviewHost is very kind, attentive to your needs, and cooking good dinners and breakfast. All the food is fresh and cooked at home. There is sun in the morning for breakfast, really appreciated
To come there it’s 2km of non asphalt road. We manage to come there with a Corolla. If you go 5km/h it’s going. First time it looks very long. First night it was some people in the room up to us, and we could hear everything. Hopefully people there are hiking all day, so fall asleep max 23:00. 2d night house was not full and we slept like babies

Verified reviewA beautiful spot, a lively location, the loveliest hosts. My family and I were very happy at the cold spring hotel. Breathtaking surroundings!
Depending on the other guests it could be a bit noisy, but we enjoyed being in contact with the other travellers.
Thank you guys

Verified reviewHad to leave at the middle of the night!! The advertised property was falsely advertised and didn't include proper pictures of what we were going to get. We are a group of 5 people and we got a loft room with 5 beds spread randomly across the entire room without door and privacy. The shower is in such a way that we need to either sit or bend ourselves to shower there is high chance that we can hit the roof as well as the windows being see through so other guests can just look while you are in the shower or going to the toilet. The worker who received us also freely admitted that this is true and the windows are see through. On top of this, we saw someone just randomly walked into our room while resting and turned off the light in the middle of night which we definitely not signed-up for. The lady 'christine' who received us for check in was very rude and was making unnecessary racial comments as well as personal comments towards the people in our group that made us uncomfortable. When expressing our concerns to her, she started to get mad and raised her voice during the call which was not very good customer service. This lady also demanded our money for the accommodation before showing us the room. We decided to leave within an hour after check in since we were feeling unsafe. When asked for a refund, she was shouting over the call stating she won’t so, it was a waste of a booking.
Sir, All your details are so not true First of all,you were on the very top floor and NOBODY came to your floor because all the guest were below you and no one needed to come up there. - no one profiled you,because we have that much education and class and we know better (I have two University degrees the last one from NEW YORK University in NYC) So I never did that I took you to the room,I gave you more or less the breakfast menu and decided at what time will you have the breakfast and you all said you were going to sleep i said “good night” all of the sadden you call me after one hour or so around midnight…. As far as the toilet over there, there were people from Nederlands much taller than you and they never brought such an issue up. This all information clearly is spiteful to just write such a review. As a matter of fact, I had another pretending guests little while ago that never ever reached the property and also gave us a superduper bad review and the guest was never in the property saying that staff was bad. The food was bad clean. It was bad but this would be actually bookingssome sort of responsibility to interfere, but however, I’m very glad that Booking always give right to the guest, another pet partners which you know the guests. I also offered all five of you two rooms with the bathroom in the room because it’s our job no matter what to accommodate as good as possible our guests that’s the whole point of the business and reputation as we say in America the customers are always right and that’s the principle that we try all the time to follow even many many times we become victim, but we have to live with it for sake of the business however, again, none of what you said is true.

Verified reviewBeing at Cold Spring was an amazing authentic experience that I will never forget! If you want to visit the real Theth, this is the place to stay. Situated in the very North of the valley, you have an amazing view of the mountains, and luckily nothing else. You truly feel that you are there alone. The food was also delicious, and homemade. Adding to the experience:) When visiting in the middle of June we got to experience the many fireflies around the property illuminating in the night And the host was excellent! They helped with tips, and was always there to help.

Verified reviewAmazing views with a great experience of being in nature. The owner is just amazing and really caring. The food was delicious! It is worth it to have dinner with them if it is offered. Plenty of local food from her own garden, cow and chicken. Possible to hike from the place. Highly recommended!
Need to go slowly on the dirt road to get there.
Thank you very much.

Verified reviewApartment has an amazing view. surrounded by mountains. The key attractions are very close. Host Reeta made the stay even better. She is a wonderful kind person and a beautiful soul. Everyday she cooked wonderful meals for us on our request.
As other guests have mentioned in the review the last 2km road to reach the apartment is rough. But that seems to be the case for that region and not specific to this apartment.

Verified reviewThere was no chance to get to the accomodation. Pictures online look nice, however there was no way for us to get there by our rented car, and there was no chance to park ok the road and walk to the apartment becouse there is only very windy mountain road leading to it and there is no parking laybays whatsoever. Very stresfull journey to get there which ended with us deciding agains it. Wouldn’t recommend, unless you’ll be walking to the hotel from the main road.
Attention Daniel and booking.com how can a pretended Guest write a review when they never ever came to the property how they dare to write a very bad review they never reached us. They never came to the hotel so I am asking the Booking to remove this review right away

Verified reviewThe lady of the house was incredible. So kind, helpful and accommodating. The location is exceptional, right next to the peja pass trail and the cold spring. The garden is wonderful to sit out in after a day of hiking with a drink and a good book. The views are unlike anywhere else I've seen! Breakfast was great and she's happy to make packed lunches or dinner during your stay! Highly highly recommend staying here!
Thank you, Emma was a pleasure hosting you. You are very polite. Very classy young couple.

Verified reviewThe location is placed in a scenic location, remote from the noise of the valley, hence far from the sightsee locations but close to the start of the tracks. There is parking on the property. The lady speaks good English and she made good recommendations for what to do during our one day stay.
The access road is horrible. If it rains I do not think you can manage with a low car. The walls are very thin hence you hear your colleagues from all rooms (no privacy). We came at the end of april and for them it is summer, hence heating.

The location is super secluded from Theth. Take in mind a long rocky road and a dog that could potentially attack you if you don’t treat her right ;-)
