Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

No fridge in our room although there was a communal fridge you could use. Beware it’s a city centre location so there is noise at night. It’s two plus floors of stairs to the apartment serviced by a tiny goods lift which couldn’t be used if it was raining ! I’d say not suitable for people with mobility issues.
The location was very good. Limited breakfast, croissants and pastries and some continental meats & cheeses. Staff were very helpful & even posted my iPhone charger to me when I left it behind so I can’t fault them.

Parking was not close to apartment and not easy to find. Worst part was advertised as having an elevator - which was true - but you need to go up a sizeable staircase to get to elevator (very difficult with baggage and bad hip) and then another smaller staircase to get to apartment.
Breakfast was fantastic particularly our hostess. She was delightful: friendly, kind, and totally service oriented! Room was top quality and very well located.

The room was very clean and modern, with comfortable bed and both feather and hypoallergenic pillows as I had requested. Breakfasts were generous but we are not breakfast eaters and were eating so much all the time that we didn’t take advantage of this service. Simona who looked after the rooms and breakfast service was lovely! The location of Apollo Suites is fantastic with views of the sea on both sides and the Apollo temple directly in front. it is also next to the market and a close walk to wonderful restaurants. Car parking was close by and reasonably priced.

The front door of this block of flats has no "Apollo Suite" stated on it and new arrivals might think that the place is actually abandoned. Parking is at a public car park a few blocks away. There are two small flights of steps to get to Apollo Suite in spite of lift.
Location is excellent and good breakfast.

We didn’t get any sleep because the air condition was extremely loud, and the noise from the street travelled (rubbish trucks and glass collection. In addition, the entrance to the property wasn’t very welcoming, and we didn’t feel safe in the elevator, it was tiny and felt flimsy, and there was a sign to say not to use it in heavy rain. If not for the extremely loud air conditioning and lack of sound insulation from the street it would have been an alright stay, but it didn’t live up to the pictures and i think there were other places I could have booked which would have been much better value for money (and I even got this at a significantly reduced price).
The property was very clean and new, the bed was big and comfortable (although a sheet only, no duvet), and the shower was good.

Second floor was more like the fourth with all the stairs . The room was hot and stuffy when we got there - the AC had not been on . The stairway was only partially lit .
Location was good . The breakfast was decent and the woman serving breakfast and doing the checking out process was very nice and informative . The room was clean.

Although there were elevators, it did not serve the full way up. One full flight of stairs another half flight of stairs needed to be used to get to the 3rd floor together with large suitcases as we were on a long holiday. With smaller luggage it would not be a problem but this was not very clear when we booked. We managed but such limitations should be very transparently disclosed.

The owner failed to note the bars on the ground floor in the building proper and around the corner regularly blast music at deafening levels until midnight or 2 am every Friday and Saturday night-could not sleep!
The property was physically attractive and had a well designed interior. Breakfast was decent enough.

Small bedroom The lift didn’t go from the ground to the Apollo floor, which meant dragging cases up and down steps.

Everything was just perfect!! The location is 5 min from the bus, 5-10 min from the city centre and 15 from the beach. The decor, ambience and organisation of the space was surprisingly good! The lady that is responsible for the welcome is lovely - super friendly, gave us tips about the city and make us feel welcomed even after the check out.
