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 KingdomI have to mention that the beds were a touch hard - but Irini is aware of this 🤣 The walk to town would not suit someone with mobility issues. I wouldn’t say any of this was a “dislike” though.
Great accommodation just a short walk from Thira town. It’s a bit steep to walk there but no problem if you’re fairly fit and mobile. Irini was friendly, helpful and was a lovely host. We had the family room and there was plenty of space for three adults, a baby and all of the accompanying paraphernalia. The hotel was lovely and peaceful. A lovely place to stay if you need to be fairly near the main port, airport and the town. Irini fixed up transportation for us which was first-class.

IsraelThe location is overall good, 10 min from fira center, but to get to/from the hotel without a car/atv is kinda hard especially with luggage. The jacuzzi in our room wasnt exactly like the photos (we had a first floor room and it felt less private then we thought) but we still really enjoyed it
Irini, the hostess, is extremely nice and caring, she guided us about the island and made sure we have everything we needed. Great value for money and everything is really clean

Villa Galaxy was definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed in. First of all, great and most helpful staff ever - Ms. Irini greeted us warmly, and helped us a lot during our stay. Thanks to her recommendations and tips we were able to travel throughout whole island with ease. Room, was comfortable, very neat and cleaned daily. Additionally our room had private hot tub, which was a great addition to already perfect place.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaIt was really pleasure to enjoy during those few days at this beautiful apartment. We experienced a really great time and we was very satisfied with our apartment and our private garden with nice hot tub 😁. Our host Irini (if I’m not wrong about her name) was very kind and helpful. She provided us a lot of information about the island itself and locations to be visited also she was in touch with us all the time.Anything we needed (like wine bottle opener,iron...) was brought at our apartment in just few minutes by herself.I’m really out of words how great everything was in overall.I’ll gladly recommend this apartment for everyone who is about to visit Santorini and if we come back to Santorini we’ll definitely stay again at Villa Galaxy 😁

AustraliaNothing bad to say :)
From the minute we got out of the taxi the host (Irini) was so welcoming and helpful. She provided water on arrival which was a life saver as it was so hot. Irini also gave an information sheet on the island which covered the best places to swim and all the sights to be seen. Our room was very clean, the beds were big and comfy and the jacuzzi was definitely an essential. My friend and I didn’t even need to leave the accomodation to get food as Irini ordered us room service from nearby restaurants. Was the best experience I have had at any hotel in Europe so far.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Villa Galaxy Santorini, and it was an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly staff, the beautiful decor, and the overall ambiance of the hotel. The location is ideal, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of local attractions within walking distance. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and plenty of amenities to make my stay comfortable. The hotel staff was always available to assist with any requests or questions, and they went above and beyond to make sure my stay was enjoyable. Overall, I had an amazing stay at the Villa Galaxy Santorini and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The level of service, attention to detail, and overall experience make it one of the best hotels I've stayed in. I look forward to returning soon and experiencing this hotel's hospitality again. Thank you, Villa Galaxy Santorini, for making my stay so memorable!

United KingdomVilla Galaxy is a lovely hotel and is only a short walk into town. The room was spacious with a good sized terrace and the hot tub was a real treat. Staff (particularly Irini!) were always available to help with any queries or give advice about what to do on the island. It was home away from home for me. I’ll be back!

IrelandThe bed was a little hard and not ‘cushiony’. Still slept fine both nights though. The walk up the hill from the hotel to Santorini was a steep 10 minutes, but manageable (not at all fault of the hotel obviously). Everything else was fine with us!
They staff are absolutely fantastic. We were constantly in contact with the manager and she was always available to help us with changes to our booking, recommendations, or booking taxis. The shower was lovely and warm, room very clean & tidy, and the hot tub was a nice treat!

United States of AmericaThe only negative was it was a bit of a walk up a hill to the downtown area of Fira.
The room was very clean and comfortable. We were allowed to check in several hours early and they held our bags the day we checked out too. The hot tub was good, but not quite as private as the pictures looked. It started raining as we were heading to the airport so the woman at the front desk, Irini I think, was able to order us a cab very quickly.

United States of AmericaMy mom and I spent 2 nights in the villa for a mother daughter trip! Our stay was absolutely wonderful and Irini the villa manager made our stay even better by setting up transfers from and to the port for us and giving us recommendations for drinks and food in town! The villa itself was super clean, had the cutest decorations and our view from the hot tub was spectacular. Super close to the main part of Fira about a 10 minute walk uphill. We enjoyed our stay so much and would totally stay here again!!
