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 reviewThe location and the small garden. The street wasn't beautiful, but it was easy to reach the sights, the sea, the buses and the restaurants.
1. The level of hygiene was very low; they didn't clean poroperly - e.g no mopping of the floor at all - even after I repeatedly asked them; they even left dead cockcroaches lying about for quite some time before they collected them. This is for the downstairs part, upstairs it is better, some of the staff live there. 2. No meaningful face to face contect or any helpful presence. 3. Via emails, I organised with them that I leave my luggage in the kitchen for a couple of hours before my flight; they said that the front door would be open, but I found it loocked when I wanted to collect my luggage,
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the hygiene issues you encountered in the downstairs area and for the delays in addressing them. This does not meet our standards, and we will review our cleaning procedures immediately. We also regret that you felt a lack of personal support during your stay and apologize for the inconvenience caused with your luggage pickup. We understand how frustrating this must have been and will work to improve communication and guest assistance. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Verified reviewThe kitchen has a very strong and unpleasant smell, and the odor is coming into the room. Also, the room size is much smaller than what was shown in the pictures. Additionally, the air conditioner keeps turning off automatically, and I have to switch it back on manually
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the unpleasant smell coming from the kitchen and the inconvenience it caused by entering the room. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we’ll be addressing this issue with urgency. We also apologize if the room size did not meet your expectations based on the photos. We strive to provide accurate representations and will review the listing to ensure clarity. Regarding the air conditioner, we understand how frustrating it is to have it turn off repeatedly, and we’ll have our maintenance team inspect and fix this as soon as possible. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and hope we can improve these aspects for future guests.

Verified reviewI don't usually leave a bad review, but unfortunately we were met with a really rude attitude when we encountered a problem at the accommodation and tried to contact the owner. Despite asking for help in a polite way, we were talked to in a really disrespectful way by the owner's friend.
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had when reaching out for assistance. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and we regret any disrespect you felt. We take your concerns seriously and will address this with our team to ensure better communication and support for our guests in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Verified reviewNothing
The listing didn’t clearly state that the bathroom was shared between too many rooms, which made it overcrowded and extremely unhygienic. There was a flyer saying we could use a downstairs bathroom, but when we checked, it was inside another guest’s room, who had no idea others were allowed to use it. This created a very awkward and uncomfortable situation. We contacted Booking.com to request a refund and to leave the property early. We provided photos and videos showing the condition of the bathroom. After that, we also contacted the property directly, and they sent someone to clean it. Later, they asked us to send more clear photos of the dirty bathroom, especially a picture of the toilet from above, but by the time we went back to take them, it had already been cleaned, so they refused to refund us. Although we did spend the night, it was only because it was very late and we didn’t want to spend more money on last-minute accommodation. We didn’t use the bathroom at all. We avoided it completely and ended up going to nearby restaurants to use their facilities. We couldn’t even take a shower because it was just not sanitary. Overall, the experience was very disappointing and poorly handled. *I’m sorry for the disgusting photo.
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and for any inconvenience caused during your stay. While shared bathrooms are clearly indicated in our listing, we understand how important clarity and hygiene are, and we take your feedback seriously. We did respond promptly by sending a cleaner as soon as the issue was reported, but regret that the timing didn’t allow for clearer documentation. That said, we sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced, and we’re reviewing our internal procedures to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Thank you again for sharing your concerns.

Verified reviewThe private bedrooms are nice and come with a towel, locking door and aircon. The price is good for what you get.
The bathroom was clean but you couldn't flush toilet paper and had to put it in the bin.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you appreciated the room and amenities. Regarding the bathroom, the plumbing system in Cyprus often requires bins instead of flushing paper — we appreciate your understanding.

Verified reviewGood location. About 10 min walk from Grigori Afxentiou street where you get the bus to and from the airport. Comfortable room with a balcony.
Bathroom is OK but sometimes low water pressure. Can be a little noisy from the corridor outside at night.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location and comfort of the room. We’ll look into the water pressure and noise to make improvements. Hope to host you again in the future!
