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.).

- There was a short issue with the hot water during our stay, but the staff handled it really efficiently. - Some may miss having a full breakfast option, though it didn't bother us as we enjoyed visiting the nearby bakeries and using the outdoor area for a relaxed breakfast with available fruit and snacks.
- Excellent location, right by the port and close to everything, making it easy to access. - Only 25m from the port with just two flights of stairs, making it manageable even with bags. - The hotel can also arrange assistance with luggage if needed. - The room was modern with charming original features. - High ceilings and well-equipped with every facility: kettle, Nespresso machine, hair dryer, and lovely toiletries. - Stayed in the garden room with a private outdoor space, perfect for enjoying a bottle of wine. - The hotel provided wine glasses and beach towels for our trip to the nearby Spilia Beach, which is a must-visit in Hydra.

The hotel has a beautiful area to serve breakfast and drinks but they don’t, which was hugely disappointing. I never read that breakfast was not included and seeing a stunning terrace that is just not used was really a let down. They have lovely tables and chairs making you think this could be the breakfast area but only to find no breakfast is served after paying a lot of money.
A beautiful up market hotel.

I think giving your guests breakfast on your terrace would make the stay so much nicer. You paying a lot of money and it just felt like this was really missing. Also serving drinks or having an honesty bar at the terrace would make this hotel perfect.
The rooms are gorgeous and the hotel is beautiful. We loved our room, all was 5 star.

Beautifully presented and in an excellent location just off the harbour, a perfect spot for exploring Idra town. The steps didn’t bother us at all - they’re quite explicit about it and have porters to help with bags if required. There’s a lovely outside terrace with dining tables/chairs and sofas/tables perfect for relaxing in private away from the huddle and bussle.

Pricing is on the high side for Hydra given the fact that the price is 'room only'. The room had one window only and was was small compared to the size of the room.
Perfect location in Hydra town, a recently renovated mansion. Facilities are brand new -rare to find in Hydra. Less than 5 minute walking distance to everywhere.

Everything was perfect. We would like to stay longer next time.
We loved everything about our stay at FOS Hydra residence. The property is perfectly located 2 minutes from the port but is so peaceful and quiet. The property has been beautifully restored and the owners have thought of everything to make our stay absolutely perfect. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and helped with restaurant recommendations and our luggage transfer from/to the port. Our room was very spacious with the most wonderfully comfortable bed and a great shower. We loved our stay on stunning Hydra and we were so thrilled we chose to stay at FOS Hydra residence.

That my stay was not longer!
Nothing was too much bother from the staff. They helped us carry our luggage the short distance from the port. As a city dweller it was a great treat to have a room with view of sea. The dining area was a bonus for morning fruit of night cap in the evenings.The patio area was perfect for relaxing in the cool of the day

Climatisation couldn’t satisfy my needs because you can’t put it on when the window is open which makes the room without any fresh air. In addition, it would be perfect if breakfast is served
The old stone mansion was almost perfect
