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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United StatesThe hosts are fantastic! The location is about a mile from Oia but out of the congestion and craziness. Lovely apartment with an upstairs loft with 2 twin beds. It is 50 steps below the caldera path, below an adorable small church and a lovely spot to watch the sunset. Great private terrace with small dunking pools and the opposite (NW) view. Restaurant right across the street and general store very near. This apartment was our favorite part of our brief visit to Santorini.

The hospitality of the family who runs the property. They were friendly and extremely helpful to make my stay comfortable and memorable. I can’t thank Vaggelis enough for making extra efforts such as providing me with useful tourist information and making arrangements, and even helping me move to next accommodation! The location was also perfect for me as I wanted to stay somewhere where I can enjoy good privacy and also the sunset!

The owners were wonderful and bent over backwards to accommodate us! They provided beach towels when we asked about it, surprised us with homemade ice cream cake, and helped us finalize our plans for the days, including food recs. Free parking in a secured lot (not on the street as many hotels do!). The apartment itself was beautiful and clean, and I enjoyed my mornings looking out at the sea. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

Vaggelis and his family are the best host! The house is very beautiful and clean, each detail is taken care of. It's located at the entrance of Oia with a bus station right in front of the house, the bus takes you directly to the main square of Oia in few minutes. Vaggelis was always there to help us, very kind and thoughtful. His mom even gave us delicious banoffee!

South AfricaVery sweet family run hotel/aparthotel. They had a fridge with water and breakfast foods and coffee when you arrived. They are super helpful about where to go on the island in terms of site seeing, beaches, tours, restaurants, churches and so forth. I also received a free upgrade to a room with a little pool and in the afternoon the hosts mom was so lovely and brought me an Oreo ice cream cake. Such lovely service! Would highly recommend this place if you are travelling alone, with friends or as a couple.

Everything was perfect, very clean, very nice hosts, they did everything so we can enjoy our stay. We were upgraded for free to a room with pool because it was available. The design is very nice, cave style, and very welcoming. There is a bus station very close to go to Oia and Fira, however for the return you have to walk around 20min. We would definitely comme again here one day! I think it was the best accommodation we ever had.

Everything was just perfect! The family running Alonistra just made this the most incredible stay of anywhere we've been in the world (and that's 60+ countries). The location made our visit to Santorini such a breeze. It was close enough to walk to Oia, but even more amazing was the local village and restaurants surrounding us. The property itself was stunning, down to every detail. The rooms, the pool, the outside spaces to sit and watch the sunset - all beautiful!

United States Minor Outlying IslandsEverything was perfect
It is a family-run business with four very nicely appointed cottages. One of them even has a small pool. Vagellis picked me up at the airport on very short warning. His English is excellent and he is very warm, responsive and informative host. His mom is very lovely and brought me breakfast to order everyday. Vagelis's father drove me to the ferry port and was also a lovely man. The cottage itself was extremely clean and comfortable. The bathroom was newly already done in a cave style. I had use of two terraces. The location was convenient with just a short walk to Oia main Street. Almost across the street is a really nice restaurant that I ate at almost daily. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a nice relaxing time without the heavy traffic of downtown Oia.

Location of the property is spot on, around 7 to 8 minutes by foot or you can take the public bus which is located just across the street. Will definitely come back when I'm in Santorini. The host Flora and Vaggelis is just superb, so warm and welcoming. You can count on them if you need anything to be arranged on the island during your stay. Highly recommended!

Lovely property with an exceptional staff. This property really exceeded our expectations. It was such a beautiful apartment, with a perfect backyard ( beach chairs, table with chairs) to relax in the afternoon. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and welcoming. They even arranged for us, an early breakfast, since we had to leave early in the morning. I really want to thank Vaggelis, for taking care of us ( he helped us with every information we may needed like where to park the car in Oia, what to see or where to eat and even gave us his number, to call him if we may need something) Also, he ofered us a little bottle of santorini wine, so we can enjoyed during the sunset. The hospitality was the best i have even seen so far from a hotel, it makes you feel like you are in a five star hotel. Thank you Vaggelis, for making our stay at Santorini so memorable.
