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.).

AustraliaGreat value for money stay in Santorini. Close to the main hub of Fira, while also being far enough from the main touristic area. Nick was extremely friendly and helpful. Very approachable for any questions we had and gave great recommendations. Perfect for those who don't need to stay right on the cliff face

United StatesThe location in Firostefani was perfect - quieter than Fira, yet still accessible to all of the restaurants there as well as the bus terminal. Nick, Eva, and the cleaning staff were very welcoming and helpful. The suite had a small kitchen had we wanted to cook, though we did not. Wi-Fi was great. The suite had a sea view - not of the caldera, but I think that was better as we didn't have crowds wandering around. We would definitely stay again if returning to Santorini.

United Kingdomit was very windy and the windows rattled (but picky, sorry) and we had to turn the noisy fridge off at night.
Good location for Thira, the sunset. cliff walk to Oia and the bus station at Thira to get to other sights. Really good value. everything you needed was provided and the room was spacious and very clean. Nick was helpful with restaurant: cafe suggestions - we went to two of them and they were very good.

CanadaNo complaints at all.
We arrived late at night, so we were given good directions to find our room & how to access. There were some pastries & coffee in the suite for breakfast. Room was spacious, clean & comfy - nice comfy bed after weeks of hard beds. We had a huge deck with a view of the sea - not caldera view, but with all the wind on caldera side I was very happy to be away from that. Suites were right beside Fira to Oia path - such a nice fun walk! There was a small market close by for anything you needed, and lots of good restaurants close also. The host gave us a list of recommendations, and checked a few times to make sure things were good.

SerbiaMy brother and I really enjoyed our stay at Alonia Studios. The accommodation was very nice and clean and equipped with all the necessities. There was a balcony with a beautiful sea view. The location was amazing - only 5 min away from a bunch of great restaurants (including the 100-year-old Aktaion), and 10 minutes away from the main bus station. The hosts Nick and Eva were so kind and welcoming. In addition to making reservations for all restaurants we requested, they held our luggage on our last day and let us use the extra bathroom (with shower included). Highly recommend.

BulgariaMaybe, because of the reviews here, expected more hospitality from our host Nick. He gave some recommendations, some of them was good, some not really (like Cafe Galini - you can’t make a reservation and they never have a good table with view, because they are also a Hotel and normally, their best tables are for their guests).
Nice and calm place, very clean. Near to the center of Fira and to the Bus station of Fira. Nice view to the east cost. Smooth communication with Eva and Nick, they also arranged transfer from the port to the studio before our arrival.

Beautiful sunrise on the balcony and max 5 min walk to the street by the cliff with amazing sunset views and a lot of good restaurants near by. We especially appreciated that our guest offered to keep our luggages and that we could use the extra bathroom (and that we were able to take a shower) after checking out before taking the plane.

United StatesThe directions to the location - the directions told us to take a bus from Fira to Firostefani (that took us about an hour and a half as we had to wait 50 minutes at the bus station for the next bus). The bus station is just down the hill and we could have walked up the hill easily with our luggage. We would have appreciated information about both choices, but understand people with more/bigger luggage might prefer the suggested route.
We loved the size of the room and that there were doors/windows to open for moving air. The balcony was fantastic! We appreciated how clean and organized it was - sweet touches, but not too crowded. We loved how quiet the area was and the pedestrian walking path was so close by - easy to get coffee and food, but not too close to everyone else! The owners were helpful and kind. We enjoyed hearing the donkey bells and watching the donkeys go to work and home each day.
