Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomThere are some narrow and steep paths to get to the property. However, it also means less tourists wandering around.
The property and the location is exceptional. The view is picturesque. Our little one said that the best thing about Oia (apart from ice cream, of course) was staying in our little cave. We liked the design, attention to detail, and the coffee machine. We also got some bonus fruit and local wine. The apartment is very central, but at the same time off the main tourist track. The owners gave us some useful recommendations about Oia and Santorini in general.

SingaporeIt was so special to stay in a cave at Oia (Santorini). The view from the balcony was so serene and peaceful, we also enjoyed the sunrise view. The room was clean, nicely decorated, kitchen was well-equipped, good amenities. Service was impeccable, one of the key highlight of our Santorini experience - great, clear, and prompt communication. Thank you for your hospitality!

AustraliaWe have to travel a long way to experience Oia and Blessed Blue again! Be mindful that if you travel with family, just be aware that there isn't much privacy in the room.
We had a great time, and the Blessed Blue team made our stay in Oia glamorous. The view from Blessed Blue is fabulous. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and beautiful. The communication from the Blessed Blue team from the time of booking was exceptional, and they kindly rescheduled the taxi when flights were changed last minute. Highly recommend using the porter service, as you have to carry the baggage down the steps. Lazarus met us at the post office car park and also helped us with some bags. We really adore the customer service from Lazarus and Hermione. We were so happy that we organized a tour around the island with Lazarus, and, in fact, his local knowledge, history, and information about Oia were exceptional. The tour was great value for money. Thank you, Lazarus, for all the beautiful photos and everything you have done. We loved the souvenir gift.

United States of America10 out of 10! We experienced 3 accommodations in Santorini and Blessed Blue was by far the best. The location is perfect, super quiet yet few steps away from Oia’s main street. The cave was spotless, cozy, great view and had everything: wine, fruits, coffee, water… Finally, Lazarus was probably one of the best hosts we’ve had in all our travels. He basically would send us a quick message everyday to check if we needed anything and on the day of our checkout he offered a small goodbye gift 🤗

We had an amazing time staying at Blessed Blue and we’re so glad we chose to stay here in Oia. Oia is mind blowingly beautiful and picture postcard perfect. The view from Blessed Blue is also fantastic. You feel like you’re in Oia ( which you are ) but since you’re down a lot of steps you don’t have crowds passing by. Oia is lovely , full of gift shops and views. And if you walk a few minutes inland you can find much cheaper places to eat. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and beautiful. With finishing touches that made it an extra special stay. Most of this was completely down to Lazarus who works for Blessed Blue. He helped us find the accommodation and met us in the post office car park ( if you hire a car you can park here for free ) and carried our bags with us. I would note that the steps are steep down to Blessed Blue. But mostly, take Lazarus up on his offer to meet you. You’ll also avoid getting lost this way. In fact a lot of Oia ( & Santorini ) is hilly / steep with lots of steps - really tricky if you had mobility concerns and TRAINERS ARE A MUST - flip flops or sandals will not quite cut it when navigating the steps everywhere on the island. Lazarus kept in touch every day with weather updates, helpful tips, asking if we needed anything and imparting his knowledge of the island , and Oia in particular. You certainly don’t often receive customer service quite like it in the UK. Definitely a much more personal and hands on approach. He even brought us some souvenir gifts as we left and left us some wine, water and fruit on our arrival. If you are thinking of booking Blessed Blue … like I was … just do it. It’s a truly special and beautiful place to stay on such a gem of the island. Thank you Lazarus and the Blessed Blue team.

United KingdomIf we could have stayed longer!
Our stay in Santorini was absolutely incredible and it was made even better with this accommodation. Before we arrived, Lazarus contacted me and arranged taxis to pick us up from the port. In addition, he arranged the porter service which transported our bags down to the cave (which is definitely worth buying as it is really dangerous to do this on your own). The cave itself was absolutely stunning, we were given water, fruit and wine which was in the fridge as well as clean towels each day. It is in an excellent location too as it is a two minute walk from the centre of the town. Lazarus stayed and helped us to arrange what we wanted to do during our stay. He recommended the best place to swim/ go cliff jumping, recommended and booked us a sunset dinner, helped arrange a hire car for us (which was dropped off right by the town) and arranged our taxi back to the port at the end of the stay. He also regularly messaged me to check we were ok, give us recommendations and answer any questions. To top it all off at the end of the stay we were given some souvenir shot glasses which was so sweet. Overall, I cannot recommend this accommodation enough as it made our stay in Santorini so much easier!

The location was perfect (I couldn't leave the porch), the accommodation was stylish, intriguing, and comfortable, and everything we needed was considered before I even asked. Without exaggeration, this was easily one of the best choices I've ever made in all my travels around the world.
