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.).

NetherlandsThe external stairs to reach the loft from the fifth floor are stable but small and a bit scaring if you are not used to them, especially when you carry your luggage. It's a pity that some water for the shower is lost leaking on the wall of the shower box.
The strong points are the big terrace and the amazing view of the Acropolis, especially at night! Overall the loft is small but the space is very well organized exploiting in a smart, functional and charming way every available spot. The bed is very comfortable. The host Alex gives very clear indications, he's always available and extremely helpful!

United KingdomThe main negative would be that to leave you have to enter the 5th floor of the building only after descending the metal stairs and have to use a key to open the door to the main building. This is concerning in the event of a fire as there appears to be no other exit. The apartment is ready for a freshen up with paint and the flooring around the kitchenette area is not ideal as crumbs etc. can drop down the gaps in the flooring. The kitchenette is very small but we managed. The final metal staircase is precarious but we knew that, so long as you're fit and good on your feet there's no issue, having the apartment at the top of the building is after all what provides the excellent view.
Our host provided good communication regarding checking in and out and by chance met us at the door when we got the keys from the lockbox. He escorted us to the room & gave some information. The view of the Acropolis is stunning, we didn't need to go to any roof top bars, drinks on our own veranda were excellent. There are two small supermarkets just a few minutes walk away & of course all of the major sites are within walking distance. The room was an adequate size and had much needed aircon as the sun can make it into a greenhouse otherwise. The bed was very comfortable.

Hong KongAs the room is an extra dwelling on the roof, it is only accessible by a fragile emergency steps on the outside of the property with only an open hand bar. We did note that from previous reviews but we did not anticipate that it was that unsafe, especially when it rained. The owner did offer to carry our luggage up but it was up to ourselves to get all our luggage down on a rainy day. The room is a bit small with the price, the bathroom is a bit crampy too. The floor of the room is just metallic deck planks. However we did enjoy our stay but we do think much upgrading works should be done with the price tags.
Excellent location with great view of the acropolis. Actually the room is an extra dwelling on the roof with a small rooftop garden. Room comes with a small kitchenette which you can prepare simple meals.

United StatesLast set of stairs to the loft are a bit narrow and if you have big luggage is a bit of a hassle. Worth it, just plan accordingly to haul luggage up those stairs. Also recommend some additional blankets in the room.
Location is excellent for visiting the acropolis and the sites around it. Great view of the acropolis from the loft. Unbeatable. Definetively recommend for the view and location.

United KingdomThe Eye Loft is situated in the middle of Athens so it was a great location to base ourselves as most of the tourist attractions were in walking distance. The view of the Acropolis from the apartment was amazing the photos don't do it justice. Alexandros was a very friendly and welcoming host. A couple of things to note... the steps up to the Eye Loft are very steep and aren't ideal for those with mobility issues or those who may be scared of heights (see photo). The second is that because of the location in the heart of Athens you can hear the music from the bars and restaurants. We did manage to sleep and it wouldn't put us off returning as the views and location were exceptional.

United KingdomThere were few minor issues with the facilities such as the unhinged kitchen cupboard door, kettle lid not closing properly, loose toilet seat, and shower handset not working. Although few facilities needed repair, they didn't detract from our overall great experience and enjoyment of the property.
The view is spectacular. The terrace was the highlight of our stay - a lovely place to sit with a drink at night admiring the Acropolis. The property is located in the heart of the city accessible to all attractions. We will return in a heartbeat!

United KingdomAs others have said steps to the room are v steep and narrow. There is a lift to 5th floor then you go outside to access the apartment and up the steps so not suitable if you have mobility issues. Only 4 hangers on a small rail so bring extra if you need them.
Amazing location. Wonderful host who was helpful and even offered to buy a more powerful hair dryer if required. Central heating so the apartment was always warm. Good shower and plenty of hot water. Clean and well equipped-hairdryer and basic toiletries. Beautiful outdoor space even big enough to do a little home workout

Even though it is on a very central spot full of buzzing life, the room with closed door is pretty quite! Excellent very close view of the good side of Acropolis without the usual scaffolding. Very hospitable owner and very easy to approach whenever in the day needed.
