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 property was in an incredible location. Was within 5 mins from the port and our balcony had an incredible view that overlooked the port. The room was always clean when we came back and the hotel has a lovely pool which we used a lot with the hotel bar right beside it. The hotel was close to the local grocery store, loads of amazing restaurants and if you needed it car or bike rental services, and was within a 10 minute walk from Yialos beach.
Honestly we were so happy with the room and the hotel and can’t say there was anything we didn’t like about the property.

Verified reviewMarina and Spiros were lovely, they made our stay extremely enjoyable going above and beyond to accommodate us. The rooms were also very clean, comfortable and the pool area was really nice too with a great bar. The port is a peaceful place with the hotel a stones throw away, the bus into town was just down the hill and no stress to get to. Definitely a place worth staying.

Verified review⸻ I stayed at Hotel Poseidon in Ios recently, and honestly, it blew me away. From the second I arrived, Marina and the team were so friendly — they made me feel like I was staying with family. They were always happy to help, whether it was giving tips on the best beaches, helping with transport, or just saying hi with a big smile every morning. The location is perfect — super close to the port and with amazing views over the harbour. My room was bright, clean, and comfy, and I loved having a balcony to chill on with my morning coffee. The pool was definitely one of my favourite parts — it’s peaceful, spotless, and there are loads of loungers, which is ideal for relaxing after exploring the island. What really stood out for me was how welcoming everyone was and how good the value is. It’s such a comfortable, easy place to stay, and it made my trip to Ios so much better. If you’re looking for somewhere that’s friendly, well-located, and has everything you need, I can’t recommend Hotel Poseidon enough. I’ll 100% be back!

Verified reviewIf I could give Hotel Poseidon more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We stayed here for part of our honeymoon, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a hotel – it was like the owners were extending their home for you. This is a truly family-run hotel in every sense of the word, and the warmth, kindness, and care from the owners is unlike anything I’ve experienced in all my years of travelling. They genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. We had booked our stay very last minute and arrived far earlier than check-in because of our ferry, yet they immediately went above and beyond to prepare our room early. Not only that, but they surprised us with beautiful flowers and homemade biscuits to celebrate our honeymoon – such thoughtful, personal touches that meant the world to us. The hotel itself is spotless – our room was bright, airy, and perfectly clean, with everything we needed. The location couldn’t be more convenient: right next to the port, surrounded by great restaurants, and only moments from the bus stop, making it so easy to get to Chora or explore the rest of the island. Halfway through our stay, I fell unwell, and their kindness reached a whole new level. They checked in on me, made sure I was comfortable, and did everything they could to help me feel better – small gestures that spoke volumes about the sort of people they are. Then, when bad weather meant our ferry off the island was cancelled, they instantly reassured us and let us stay another night, removing all the stress from what could have been a difficult situation. In a world where so many hotels feel impersonal, Hotel Poseidon is the most wonderful reminder of what hospitality should be – genuine, heartfelt, and full of care. We left feeling like we’d stayed with friends, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you’re visiting Ios, do yourself a favour and book here.
Nothing - everything was perfect.

Verified reviewI do not recommend this hotel to anyone. I’ve been coming to Ios for 5 years and this is the worst hotel experience I have had. The rooms are not clean there were stains on the sheets and ants in the bed when I woke up in the morning. I stayed here for one night even though I had booked 6 because I was so unhappy. I was refused a refund and while I was offered another room I was so unhappy I just wanted to leave. Upon letting them know about what had happened I was asked if I was unhappy because I was there alone which hurt my feelings even more. If you come to Ios, there are much better options for hotels

Verified reviewMy stay at Hotel Poseidon was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't be more delighted with my experience! As soon as I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the lovely staff, who were always smiling and attentive. My heart goes out to Marina, who made my stay even more special with her kindness and professionalism. She's just incredible! The hotel's impeccable cleanliness is extremely appreciated. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. The location is ideal, making it easy to enjoy the surrounding area, while at the same time offering a peaceful atmosphere. Every morning, waking up to such a beautiful landscape is pure bliss. The pool is also a real asset: spacious, clean and a great place to cool off or relax in the sun. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the service to the ambiance to the facilities. Hotel Poseidon is an address I can wholeheartedly recommend for an unforgettable vacation in Greece. I can't wait to go back!

Verified reviewThe owner of this property is amazing!!! She meets all your needs and you’ll constantly see her around where she will check up on you. She even went out of her way to drop us backed cakes and biscuits. This port is a great location if you’re getting the ferry.
Not wheelchair/disabilty friendly. If you want to go into the main part where all shops are it’s about a 30ish minute walk or you’ll have to get a bike. Shower was small

Great recommendations for hotels and things to do while we were there. The swim up bar was a great treat on a very hot day. We were lucky enough to receive homemade cakes and biscuits.
