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...).

Very quiet and a peaceful place, just a few minutes from Plaka Beach. The night skies were filled with stars, and all you can hear are the birds.

United StatesThere was nothing we didn’t like.
Helios Beach is located at the far end of Plaka Beach, away from the crowds. We were surrounded by olive trees and blooming voukamvilia. Beach is a 3 min walk. Our studio was quiet, private with its own balcony, clean and soothing views of hills and nature. The owner takes great care of the property. A 10 min walk along the beach gets you to the end of the bus line into Naxos town. It gets very busy and dusty once you reach the part of the beach that is serviced by the bus. We stayed in Ag Anna last year and the noise and crowds really impacted the Naxos experience. Helios Beach was the perfect hideaway. We rented a car. 1 min drive to nearby bakery for breakfast / coffee.

SpainVery nice place, located just 2 min by foot to a very calm and great beach in the area - yet close enough to the restaurants and beach bar area (by car). Good deal with a lovely host, thanks for everything.

United KingdomThe studio had a balcony with a beautiful sea view. It is on the middle of the fields and is unbelievably quiet. I haven’t even met my neighbours/other guests. Perfect if you want tranquility and away from the crowd. The manager was incredibly helpful, kind and always there for communication and there to help. It was a wonderful stay

ItalyThe place is a hidden gem. The only (minor) downside is the access to it, if you don’t have a car (my case). But - the hosts were kind to arrange transfer for both arrival and departure. Once there, the beach is super close, and it is the most wonderful chip of sand in Naxos. Perfect for a quiet vacation.
The room was comfortable, nicely furnished, and exceptionally clean. The hosts were kind and super-helpful. I very much liked the bed, it was extra comfortable; and the chairs and the little bench on the balcony are something I want for my house :)

SpainSuper recommended! An unbeatable experience 🙌🏼 Our stay at Helios Beach Studios has been incredible: it is one step away from the beach, it’s super relaxing and quiet, really nice owner, taking care of every last detail and about your well-being. If you want to spend an unforgettable holidays in Naxos, I highly recommend staying here, far away!

GreeceWhere do I start? First of all, the listing is incorrectly advertised. This is not a beautiful beachfront property; it is a semi-livable apartment building at least 10 minutes walk away from the beach---a walk that includes walking through a construction zone and a farm pasture. Additionally, there is no access to the listing by public transportation unless you count walking from the "nearest" bus stop over 20 minutes away, which involves over 10 minutes of walking through sand. If you'd like to avoid this, you'll be required to use a taxi every time; of which the drivers need to charge at least 30 euros per trip to reach the place. If money is no (or less) object, and/or you'll be renting a car---you likely aren't going to be interested in a "cost saver" property in the first place, so it's not even worth it under that scenario. I didn't even get inside the place to judge the accuracy in the apartment itself; upon reaching the property, we had to inform the manager that we could not stay in the accommodations, and we left to find a new place to stay on the fly. Unfortunately that wasn't the end; When confronting the manager about all this, he apologized, and said how sorry he was the everything had been so different and awful, and promised a 100% refund. Upon following up with Booking.com days later about the refund, Booking.com informed me that the manager had lied and reneged on his promise. This quite literally was the absolute worst experience of my life involving purchased accommodations---do not go to this property, and do not offer your business to this owner.
Absolutely nothing was likable.
