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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesWe absolutely loved everything about this Villa in Zola! We stayed for a week and the owners made us feel like family. Even though the owners were on site it never seemed like they were. The place was spotless. Very tranquil to the eyeballs and ears. Better than the pictures! I would highly recommend staying at this Villa and would definitely book here again in the future!

The villa is absolutely beautiful and the surroundings spectacular. Kefalonia is a very special island. Kleopatra and Dimitri are such kind people and made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you also Kleopatra for the delicious treats you made for us. We certainly hope to see you again.

United KingdomThe flat is spacious, clean, with multiple terraces and amazing views. The beds are comfortable and there is so much care put in by Kleopatra making them every day. Kleopatra also drops in cakes and savoury purse every few days. Dimitris has boats and does a wonderful tour of the nearby coastline. It was the highlight of our stay. They are simply wonderful hosts. Zola may seem a little isolated but it’s a great location to reach all parts of the island. Lixouri with its restaurants and supermarkets is an easy 20 mn drive. April is a great place to visit with very few tourists and all the flowers in bloom. Some places are shut but enough are open. Would highly recommend Villa Alexandros, and a Spring holiday in Kefalonia.

MoldovaIf I could put more than 10, I would put much more. There was a house of dream where we spent 10 nice days in Kefalonia. Especially we liked how Cleopatra and Dimitris cared us with their warm and hospitality. The house was very spacious and comfortable. Everything was clean and very well maintained. Everyday Cleopatra treated us with different desserts and traditional greek dishes. We also liked very much the fish prepared by Dimitris. Also we had a boat tour with Dimitris that was really fantastic. The view from the terrace was magnificent. This is the best place we have ever stayed in Greece. For sure, I would like to come back.

United KingdomThe Wifi wasn't great, but I had a plan B with my own 5G SIM which worked decent enough. But then, having to work from a terrace, is it really a negative? :)
The view, the friendliness of the hosts and yet total privacy. Overall a brilliant experience and I can thoroughly recommend Zola as a base (perhaps except for lack of sunsets, but there isn't a better option for this without sacrificing other aspects).

The house is just wonderful. The view is amazing and you have five large terraces to enjoy it. One has sunbeds and a big table, on a rooftop jacuzzi, one a very comfortable sofa. It is on on top of a hill, so it is breezy and we rarely used the air conditioning, although it was very hot. The house is fully equipped with everything you need for a confortable stay. Air conditioning is working perfectly. Netflix was a treat for my kids. The service offered is very personalized. Dimitri gives plenty of useful advise, including meteo, tavernas, beaches. Kleopatra is a wonderful guest. She would clean the house every day and even do the washing! She spoiled us with some homemade food and fresh fruit. Dimitri would get figs from the garden. We loved the boat tour that Dimitri offered. We visted many unpoiled beaches, we had plenty of time for swimming, exploring caved and taking photos. This was also a good valur for money. All together, this was the best house we have ever been, and we are keen travellers. Thank you for making our stay fantastic.

CanadaThere wasn't anything we didn't like. The wifi wasn't very strong throughout the property but we didn't mind.
Everything was perfect! If I could give it 6 stars if I would! The location was central to the nearby villages Asos,Fiskardo,Lixouri, Argostoli, Airport (30-40 min drive) and beautiful beaches Myrtos,Fteri, which you need a car to get to. If you don't want to explore anything then you can peacefully and quietly stay here undisturbed. The hosts were exceptional! Our rooms were cleaned daily and we were offered a boat tour for a reasonable price which is a MUST!!

We visit Fteri Beach, Camari and Gerisani cave. This was our perfect day. Kleopatra made us very tasty fried fish. There are 2 beaches in few minutes by car, which are nice for swimming and eating, and drinking cocktails. Thank you 😊

United KingdomWe had a fantastic week at Villa Alexandros. It is located on the western slope of a valley which stretches from Myrtos Bay to Livadi Bay, offering views of Myrtos Bay and the surrounding mountains. This was a lovely sight to wake up to. The village of Zola is relatively small and quiet, with the main noise coming from the bells worn by local goats; there was a very good, friendly family restaurant, Stou Tsagkari, a short walk away from the property, and I think Agia Kiriaki beach and Vouti Beach (also both walkable if you don't mind a bit of a climb on the way back) have more facilities open in high season. Otherwise, Kleopatra and Dimitris (who live downstairs) are also very happy to lay on meals if you would like: Kleopatra's cooking is brilliant. Zola's location close to the centre of Kefalonia also means most major towns, from Fiskardo in the North to Sami in the East to Argostoli in the South, and other tourist sites, are all only 30-50 minutes away, even allowing for some winding, narrow roads. We were able to pack quite a lot of sightseeing into our week without forcing the pace too much. The property, spread over two floors is very well laid out, with a sizable kitchen, multiple balconies (including one with a small sitting pool to cool off in during hot weather), two bathrooms and three bedrooms, one of which doubles as a sitting room: all clean, comfortable, nicely-furnished and equipped. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into the design and provisioning, and Kleopatra and Dimitris were always available to answer any queries.

I have no words to describe the kindness of the owner, and how beautiful the villa is, a real treasure! The Villa was quirky in a good way. Everything was impeccably- impeccably clean. Beautiful and clean bathrooms , furnishing too. Stunning views from the terraces to the ocean and the mountains . Cleopatra was a very helpful host making a number of fine recommendations for dining and places of interest .Also ,a big surprise for us , was the treat she gave to us , because the restaurant at the village was closed. I highly recommend it! Thank you very much and see you soon .
