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.).

Kinsterna is elegant luxury without being over-the-top. It is elegant. It is sophisticated. It is exquisite. I found everything to be perfect from the comfort of the rooms, to the spa, to the food and the staff.

IcelandWe drove from Olympia through Sparta to Kinsterna Hotel. After driving through what might say a little bit run down villages it was unbelievable experience to arrive at this oasis. Everything was so beautiful, the food and staff impeccable! We stayed for 2 nights and took an took a hike in the island of Monemvasia, which is like another world. The only tiny thing which i thing I did not like was the English pop-music played in the restaurant. I would have preferred some Greek or instrumental music, but that is probable just me 😊

United KingdomWe absolutely loved everything. Especially all the activities they had for the guests! We did horse riding and candle making. Έρω the guest experience manager was very helpful. Also the hotel is pet friendly which was great as we had our doggie with us too. A few things that I would recommend would be 1) to further train the breakfast staff as some of them all though were very friendly they were lacking a few serving skills. 2)The same goes for the spa staff. The first therapist didn’t use an eye towel during the treatment while the second therapist did. 3) booked 60’ horse riding all the way to the beach (that’s the description on the website too) for my husband but on the day they ended up going to the surrounding fields which although they were beautiful it was a bit disappointing as we had paid for the beach. All the staff members were very helpful and extremely friendly and nice!!! however it is expected all staff to follow the same protocols in order to keep the high level of service and deliver what they promised.
Kinsterna hotel was an absolute treat!!! We booked a 3 nights stay to celebrate the birthday of my husband and our wedding anniversary. The whole stay was amazing. To begin with the property is absolutely stunning, everything is made with stone, the gardens are filled with flowers and are well kept, the wonderful 2 swimming pools, the restaurant overlooking the seaside, every corner is just so lovely. -Regarding to the room. We had the junior suit and was a very good size. Bed was very comfortable and big. The room had a smart heating arrangement system as the one AC was placed on the entrance of the room heating the whole unit nicely and you also had 2 more AC unites right next to the bed for extra warmth if needed. Best thing was that the control system was placed right above the bed and you literally didn’t have to leave your bed to control the temperature of the room. Very smart and convenient! -The bathroom was very big and super clean. You had everything that you would need ( robs, sleepers, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and cream, toothpaste and toothbrush, as well as a small vanity kit). Has also a heating rack to keep your towels extra warm. -The mini bar had a good selection even though we didn’t use it. Had free water, coffee and tea. -Room service was very efficient and fast which was really nice!! -The cleaning staff would come everyday to clean and refresh the room and would also come at night to ask if we need any towels which I found it very thoughtful. -Breakfast selection was great including hot and cold item, savoury and sweet options too. Many items were harvested from the gardens of the hotel ( honey, oil, olives, herbs). The dinner menu had a good variety of plates to choose, enough to satisfied even the most difficult guests. -The spa was another wonderful example of the great service that Kinsterna displayed. Had 2 treatments and I was absolutely delighted. The spa manager Nikoleta was amazing as well as Panagiotis!!!

United StatesPersonalities of the staff
The grounds are certainly beautiful but there seemed to be a disconnect in the staff ! Not real warm genuine but more robotic in nature with the exception the day we met Marthelene Heraud who taught the soap and candle making classes ! She made our stay outstanding ... I would consider her the best asset this hotel has ! Was disappointed in the breakfast spread as pretty as it looked didn't match the taste ... I am sure in the summer months with lots of activities going on there is plenty to do here... the rooms were very clean and nicely appointed.
