Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SloveniaThe road was very steep and kinda bad, so we didnt dare to go up with the car. But the walk wasnt really long (10 min), so it was ok. Beware of mosquitos (kept us up)!
The host was really nice, he waited for us because we came a little late, in the morning he made us coffee and gave us some greek candy :) His son was also very helpful - he talked to us in english, was very nice. They both made us feel very welcomed. The room was very big and the view was beautiful.

United KingdomDef the access - we tried both routes and found it a bit challenging, not sure what it would be like without he a car so can’t comment. The bathrooms feels like it needs some attention, For the room we stayed even a curtain would make a massive difference and help keeping it tidy and clean. Also would be great to have breakfast served even if for extra costs. Imagine a nice coffee with views :) This is more a suggesting than a complain.
The hosts were just incredible friendly, accommodating and helpful! This really made the experience a lot better. Niko was very responsive and sent extra detailed information on how to find the property. The views were awesome, worth paying extra for sea view for sure. What a way to start your day in Himare!

AlbaniaThe road to get there is a little bit difficult but doable.
The property was located on the top of the hill in Potam. It had a perfect view of the sea and the sunset. Our suite was equipped with everything necessary. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean and great material.

NetherlandsThe hotel is located at the top of a very steep mountain, its a tough 10-15 minute walk. The view does make up for it because its beautiful from up there.

AustraliaThe only downside is walking up the hill, but if you have a car it would be fine!
Paradise View was an incredible place to stay! As most of the other reviews mention, yes, it is a bit of a trek to get there BUT it is 100% worth the journey. The view is breath-taking and you are away from the noise of the town. The owner and his parents went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Please support this family business! We will be back!

AustriaThe place had a really fantastic view. The hosts were the loveliest people. Language barrier wasn't an issue at all, they found and will always find a way to communicate and welcome their guests with a smile and 'open arms'. They were there for you, ready to answer any question you had. The walk to the center of Himare was a pleasant down hill walk, steep but charming. My mean of transportation was a car and I received a very detailed video description of how to get to the accommodation.

United KingdomUnfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this place to a solo female traveler or someone with reduced mobility. As a woman I really didn’t feel safe walking there a night. Google maps will say it’s a flat walk to the hotel but it’s in fact a very steep hike up a hill, which half way there is no electricity, so the road is pitch black (had to use flashlight to navigate the road). Even taxis refuse to go up the hill as the terrain is not safe to drive. When I managed to get a taxi to drive me to the hotel, due to the lack of security giving that the road doesn’t have lights, he charged me 10€ each night. I paid 35€ a night, plus those 10€, for that price I could have stayed much closer to the beach.
Clean and quiet, welcoming hosts, great views
