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.).

The privacy was a little absent if you stay with the shade on.
Everything was nice. You have everything that you need in the kitchen. There are only 2 bathrooms for 6 rooms but it wasn’t a problem, most of the time there was one free. The hosts were helpful if you need. The location is not the best but it was a 28 minutes walk to the center or the beach, so it was ok.

The property actually looks like home, there is everything that is needed while staying in Larnaca. It is a little bit far away from the center ( 20-25 minutes by walk) but there is a bus on the main street nearby. The supermarket is close to the house as well. The owner of the property is a very cool guy, i am happy to meet him and the biggest Thanks from Girls from Georgia 🇬🇪♥️

Very comfy traditional Cyprus home with the blooming citrus yard and teras. Bed was also great, sheets and towels clean and fresh. Plenty of dishes and utensils in the kitchen. Neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Frutaria store is close with the prices low and various local fruit and products. Beach is far, 30 min walk, but it wasn't our main thing to see in Cyprus.

The Lemon Tree offers is a great place to stay in Larnaca. It's a fifteen minute drive from the airport and in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. There are plenty of amenities nearby. The town centre and beach are about a twenty minute walk away. The Salt Lake is also not far walking. There is plenty of space to park on the roads. The price is very good for the quality of the rooms and location. The 'hostel' is a proper house. The room was large and the bed comfortable. The kitchen was clean and had plenty of cooking equipment if you don't fancy eating out. The garden of the Lemon Tree is a great place to spend time and includes several lemon trees. Host Tony goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Tony is always happy to give out recommendations about Larnaca and Cyprus (and if you're lucky Tony might do a BBQ in the garden).

I did not like just the fact that you can hear everyone moving or walking, the walls are a bit thin. But it is not a big of a problem.
Nice accommodation, clean, remanded me of a family house. Towels provided, clean. About 20minutes walk to the beach. As a solo traveler, I was a bit scared because it is a bit far from center, but it is very safe.

It's been mentioned before but the water pressure is a little low. Not too big of a deal, you can still get the job done. The water was hot so I was fine.
The Host of The Lemon Tree Hostel is really welcoming. I felt very comfortable here. The room is a really nice size and there is a patio where you can sit and enjoy the garden. There are(of course) lovely lemon trees. I'm also really happy with the safety aspect. They clearly pay attention to keeping the place clean and comfortable for the guests which I appreciate. I enjoyed the surrounding area, and got a great rest. They have a washing machine and cooker with a lot of utensils for your use. It was a great stay and I would love to stay there again.

The hostel is in a residential area a bit out of the centre and it's confusing to find your way around the local area at first. I guess the only thing that could be done to improve this would be to provide a map and or directions.
The hostel is very clean, with a nice big kitchen and a garden to sit out in. That, and the welcome from the people, made it a good experience.

Nice, clean place with a pretty yard to chill in, a well equipped kitchen and a couple of bathrooms. The staff is very helpful. Grocery store, food (I recommend the Blue Pine at the square) and coffee places are close by, the beach is 1/2h walk away, mostly through the city center.
