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...).

EgyptWell first of all let me say the pros and cons Pros location is perfect,very near the acropolis and in same time very near the meeting point for most of pickup for tours for day trips, I rented the full room was very big in size and it was clean, water pressure and shower was so good, Owner Nadyia is friendly and supportive Cons there was a window that never been able to be closed it also bring cold air at winter which wake me up at night cuz i cant tolerate the cold breeze even when i turn the heater Another cons they dont clean in between days, no supply of shampoo or clean towels I talked to owner and she explained they are hostel not hotel but for me i was not paying 20 e per day but rather 70 e which i would like to say u can do much better as an example toyota and lexus they are coming from same company but cuz who but lexus pays more, they do t get the same treatment, All over experience was positive but out of honesty i have to say the full experience

North MacedoniaWhat I didn’t like was that there was only one bathroom with two toilets for several rooms, which could be inconvenient during busier times. Additionally, the slightly older interior might not appeal to everyone. However, these issues were minor since it wasn’t busy during my stay, and they didn’t overshadow the overall positive aspects of the hostel.
I liked the great value for the price, the breakfast with plenty of options when you arrive early, and the friendly staff who even allowed an early check-in at no extra fee. The hostel is very close to attractions like the Acropolis Museum, and I felt safe and comfortable during my stay. The interior, while not very new, was still clean, which added to the overall positive experience.

New ZealandOnly con was the mattress was thin and there wasn’t a balcony on the room as the listing said.
Great stay if you’re on a tight budget like us! Staff are lovely, they provide a great breakfast with lots of options. Bedrooms are very basic, but there’s a nice courtyard that we spent lots of time in. Bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day. Location is great, right in the heart of Plaka! Overall we would definitely stay again.

IrelandI got great value in the winter season. If you stay in the peak season one will have to pay that bit extra. Athens could.be chilly in the morning if you go like me off-season.
This was a very nice guesthouse in Athens old town, right beside Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the Acropolis. The breakfast was included and had some great options. Staff were professional.

GeorgiaThin blankets, too few toilets, the top bunk support rail was not attached.
We received a warm welcome into this old building set in a quiet side street in the Plaka district, just a 5-minute walk from Syntagma metro station. Our large, high-ceilinged room had one bunk and two singles, sockets for all, and a small washbasin and mirror in the corner. The old, shuttered wooden doors led to a small balcony overlooking the street and an office building opposite. The beds were super comfortable but the blankets were quite thin for the December air, so we had to sleep with the air-con set to 'heat' - which was fine, though not ideal for the environment. There was a shared lockable shower-and-toilet room, a separate lockable toilet, and an unlockable area with a frosted-glass shower cubicle. Modernly decorated and clean, but I imagine not enough facilities for a busy period. The highlight for us after a tiring day exploring the city was the communal room at the end of the tiled courtyard/garden area- a long table with benches for meals, and a living area with rug and woodstove and a giant TV screen connected to Netflix. Boardgames, books and a friendly local cat added to the cozy vibe. Breakfast was packed croissants, fresh fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, simple sandwich ingredients, and coffee and tea. Get there early or you'll lose out, as they serve the bare minimum for guests and the milk goes fast! The old town highlights were just minutes away. Big lockers are available for just 2 EUR (unlimited time). Overall- an excellent place to stay for those on a budget wanting to get a feel for old Athens and who aren't fussy about shared bathrooms and the like. Staff were friendly and helpful.

NetherlandsExcellent location a stone's throw from restaurants and shops in the old center of Athens. The breakfast is decent in terms of variety, of an acceptable quality, but you have to be there no later than 9 o'clock if you want to find everything it can offer if the hotel is full. The receptionist is kind and very proactive in solving any problem that may arise. A plus is the garden behind the hotel with tables and chairs where residents can socialize.
