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 KingdomSaying goodbye!
We LOVED the Villa and Sophia! It is immaculate and has everything you need (even a coffee maker!) It is in a quiet yet really convenient location within walking distance of the lovely village of Megalachori and also a bakery/convenience store. There is a well equipped kitchen and sitting room with tv and music speaker downstairs. The master and twin bedrooms are downstairs with a bathroom between. The two large singles are upstairs with access to a wonderful roof terrace. The outside area is beautiful and has plenty of space to eat, play games or lie on the comfortable sunbeds. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance (food is important to us!) You have beautiful views of the caldera away from the crowds and even though the villa has a beautiful garden and roof terrace to watch the sunset, we sometimes enjoyed walking through through the vines to to watch it from the edge. Sophia looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble for her. She helped us choose and book boat trips, wonderful restaurants (and even secured us a table when we couldn’t get one!) and offered to help with rental cars etc. We arrived to a wonderful bowl of fruit, butter, milk, honey, jam, water, coffee pods and wines! We were travelling around Greece and my husband left the hose for his cpap machine in Athens and she even found a place that sold hoses for us when we were staying in Naxos! She was so genuine and we will miss her, but hope to come back! Y

United KingdomAll was perfect
The property is stunning, from the rooms to the balcony to the pool area everything is perfect, I have no words to say about our host Sophia, looks like she new us from our childhood, she welcome us with fruits, water, wine I couldn’t believe, we came for santorini for our weeding so we end up doing the making off at the property, we left at 6pm for the wedding and left the house a bit up way down and I couldn’t believe when we arrived back at 5am the property was spotless clean again. Thank you so much Sophia

Saudi ArabiaNothing whatsoever, we loved every moment and every aspect of this place!
The villa was exceptionally beautiful and spotless! Was very well taken care of and had all the amenities that were needed & more! Sofia (the lovely host) was there upon our arrival and made sure everything was set to our expectations. She was incredibly helpful, kind, and generous. She also shared with us many recommendations and all were terrific! A truly delightful person who made our trip & stay superb! Definitely recommend this accommodation for any party of 2 or above and be sure to be prepared to meet one of the sweetest and most genuine people out there, Sofia!

United KingdomI cannot think of anything - it was very hot and quite windy - but that's Santorini in June!
The quality of the villa and the extra customer service provided by Sophia was outstanding. The villa itself is clean, well equipped and in a great location - you can walk outside and see the Santorini sunset every night - it's very private, quiet and very central for touring the island. Sophia is an amazing host - she booked transport, tours, restaurants and a scenic tour in a helicopter before we arrived. She then helped us every day to maximise the enjoyment of our plans and visits. She's a lovely lady who always goes the extra mile to make sure her guests are happy.

Without a doubt this is the best place to stay in Santorini. The villa is new, clean and luxurious and we were very glad that we had chosen it for our visit. It is well away from the maddening crowds in the hillside villages of Fira and Oia, where the accommodation is all literally on top of one another, and nothing is private particularly when the crowds accumulate for the nightly sunset display. Philosophia villa is off a short dirt road amongst vineyards but within walking distance of Megalochori. It is well placed for wine tasting at the excellent wine estates of Santorini that were easily accessed by car from this part of the island. The villa is spacious with two double rooms on the ground floor and two rooms on the top floor. A stunning outdoor area with dining table and loungers make the thought of staying here for longer very appealing indeed. The pool was also truly private and well maintained. There are excellent views of the caldera and surrounding area from the upstairs terrace which was a great place for morning coffee! But the absolutely best part of this whole experience was Sophia who hosts the villa. She was very friendly and available to assist with any query, ranging from restaurant and winery recommendations to how to find the Greek channels on the TV. She provided a large welcoming bowl of fresh fruit, honey, coffee pods, bread for toast and a fridge stocked with a juice, milk, watermelon and plentiful supplies of bottled water. I mentioned in passing on arrival how I really liked Greek koulouria (bagels). So it was a delightful surprise to discover a box of fresh koulouria on our doorstep the next morning with a handwritten note from Sophia saying she got us some for our breakfast. She emanates such enthusiasm about Santorini and her warmth made the stay here very special.

United States of AmericaPhilosophia We had the most amazing time at Philosophia Luxury Villa. Sof was an amazing host and by the end, a friend, helping us to plan our days and evenings, including some delicious meals and an gorgeous sunset cruise! She even brought us the best ice cream we’ve ever had! The villa itself was stunning with amazing sunset views from the roof, a gorgeous pool area and comfortable, chic bedrooms. We ended up canceling our trip to Naxos and staying an extra night because we loved our special home so much. We will definitely be back!
