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'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 KingdomWhile there were no issues with security, the land surrounding the lodge is open and unfenced, which is fine for as long as the island remains peaceful, safe, and with low crime rates.
I loved Thimari Lodge. Minimalis, elegant, and upscale in design. Serene, peaceful surroundings. Friendly and supportive management and staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

FinlandThere could have been a bit more variaty and a bit less bread/pastry/sweet bakeries included in the breakfast. Maybe some fresh fruits, berries, cheese or/and other toppings for the bread. Now there were only buttet for the bread. The location is a bit outside of Oia and Fira and other cities, so you need a taxi, Uber or car. The prices for taxi vary quite a lot.
The staff was very welcoming and helpful! They helped us organizing transportation to places, and were eager to give tips for activities and places to see. The villa was very nice and clean, and well equiped. The pool was cleaned every day. It was nice to get to choose the "main course" in the breakfast from different options, as well as the time for delivery to the villa.

United KingdomEverything was perfect
I booked this trip for my partners 21st birthday. When we arrived, the staff arranged for there to be balloons, a cake, wine and fruit which was really nice. We also got a room upgrade. There are so many good things about this place, firstly, before we arrived, George was so helpful when I asked about things to do on the island or helping to book a car/ATV. Mr Kostas was so welcoming and checked up on us everyday and he recommended some really nice places to visit. Breakfast was brought to us every morning and it was very nice. The pool was cleaned every morning which was really nice to see. I really would recommend this place to anyone, we both had an amazing stay and would definitely come back in the future.

United KingdomThis is really special place to stay. Kostas and his team including George the super helpful concierge were amazing. So welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we were well looked after. The breakfast was brought to the villa every morning and it was delicious and generous. The villas are beautifully designed and furnished. There were welcome fruits and soft drinks and wine (and Kostas kindly gave us a bottle of wine as we left too). Our villa was cleaned really well each day and the pool was also cleaned each day. It was so peaceful - and close to the beach. It’s about a 7 minute drive to Fira. There’s parking outside the villas and definitely recommend hiring a car as Santorini is easy to get around. A highly recommended, magical place to stay.

We wanted to write this review because our experience here was perfect. We have been at Thimari Lodge for two days and from the moment we arrived everything has been wonderful. The villa was fantastic, beautiful and very comfortable, close to everything. But above all we would like to emphasize the incredible effort from our hosts, George and Mr Kostas, to make our experience unforgettable. They are exceptional hosts, always trying to help and with a huge smile, they gave us wonderful tips about the island and about our next destiny in Greece. From before arriving there is a direct and personalized contact with a wonderful team behind. Thanks a million for everything to everyone, we just want to come back again so we can be as happy as we have been these 2 days. Congratulations for your great work! We 100% recommend to everyone who stays in Santorini.

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing we didn’t love about this place other the fact we had to leave!!
What an amazing place, a beautiful escape away from the hustle and bustle. Kostas and his team are fantastic, so very helpful and they make everything just perfect. The accommodation is beautiful, very clean and tranquil. The breakfasts delivered everyday are so tasty and way more than we expected. The location is perfect, literally 10 minute drive to anywhere, we hired a car and saw most of the island and managed to avoid the crowds by following the advice of Kostas, when places got busy we escaped back to our beautiful lodge to relax. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful place, they really will look after your every need. It was my birthday while we were staying here and I had balloons, Prosecco and the most fabulous cake, it was just amazing. If this place is available don’t even think about it, just book it!!!!! You will be so glad you did!!

Thimari Lodge provides a great stand alone 2 bedroom villa with a private pool in an area that is a little secluded, away from the crazy number of cruise ships & tourists in Santorini.

United KingdomKostas, zoi and George where incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful. The property was top spec and the pool looked bigger than the images we where not disappointed! The wild flowers surrounding the property like lavender, cactus and tomatoes plants made it feel very special, paradise in the wild. Away from all the tourist areas which get incredibly busy it was lovely to escape. Yalos bar is a 15 minute walk not your average beach bar, the decor is beautiful, cactus and raffia setting by the ocean - fun team and delicious food.

CanadaNot a knock against the property but the turn off the main road is easily missed. Again, not a knock against the property but as a traveller be aware that because the second room is a loft anything happening on the main floor is heard.
Kostas and all the staff were friendly and responsive. The breakfasts delivered daily were delicious. The personal pool was a hit with the family. The property is clean and maintained daily. It was nice to have a quiet and secluded place to return to after busy days and busy streets in the main towns.

IsraelThe place is a bit remote. Access to the island's attractions is only by car. The breakfast was adequate and well presented if a bit generic. If it were possible it would be fun to be able to order a wholesome Greek breakfast - Vegetables, Feta cheese, olive oil, Keftedes, Tzatziki. Already presnt on the menu were the Greek pastry (spinach and cheese) which was grrrreat! and the Greek yoghurt which came with the granola which was creamy and delicious
The place was beautiful, extremely well appointed and well thought through and designed in every detail. It was also kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay. The location was close to the airport and a walking distance down to Exo Gialos small harbor. George the concierge's recommendations were spot on and the hosts Costas and Zoi were the absolutely very best

United KingdomIt is unfortunate but taxis cost a lot of money. As Thimari Lodge is far away from the usual tourist spots, we spent quite a lot of money on taxis.
The host was so kind and helped us out so much.. We will never forget such kindness. He treated us like family. The lodge was stunning both inside and out. Everything was clean. It was such a peaceful stay where you could see amazing sunrises. Our young daughters loved playing there. The kitchen was handy when we needed to feed them snacks. As a Muslim family, we valued being able to order halal food to the lodge. Also there is lots of privacy outside the lodge when in the pool/garden area.
