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 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 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.).

Beautiful cave home offering peace and tranquility just a short walk from the main Santorini thoroughfare. It felt like a slice of paradise.

United StatesHot tub didn’t run for more than 1-2 minutes at a time. Not really an issue because the warm weather makes the warm water unnecessary.
Great location and view. Amenities were excellent and the host (John) awesome. Far enough out to avoid the tourist crowds but close enough to be right there. I suspect would be more crowded in high season.

United KingdomWeak internet if I must say. Wifi wasn’t the best but we didn’t mind.
We stayed in the Senior Suite. John was really responsive on WhatsApp. Check in was smooth. I recommend not bringing a suitcase with wheels as the ground in Santorini was extremely rocky. This place was magical. The view was out of this world. Shame it was too cloudy to see the sunset during our stay. Room was top notch. Extremely spacious and clean. All amenities were at the highest standard. Everything you need was there. Outdoor bathtub was a bonus and it was really warm. You’ll get the best view while using the bathtub. How cool is that! Location was perfect because it was near an end of Oia so it wasn’t noisy or crowded. Lots of good restaurants and convenient stores within a 10 mins walk. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. If you are thinking of staying here, just do it!

United StatesThe Architects Cave was amazing! The view of sunset on the porch while in the hot tub is an incredible experience. John our host was super fantastic. He arranged a airport pickup and return. He also met us in Oia and helped cart luggage and explain a few thing about the area. Breakfast delivered was great with fresh pastries, orange juice and eggs.

United StatesThe location and view of the water/sunset was incredible. It is close to many shops and restaurants but since it is on the far end of Oia it was also quiet. The room had everything we needed and was very spacious. We enjoyed the outdoor private hot tub. The staff was amazing and super helpful. They carried all of our bags from where we parked our car. John the host was gracious and did a lot of research for us on things to do, rental cars and places to eat. He was very responsive when we had questions. Overall, it was one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Loved it!

United KingdomWe were expecting the place to be a little more modern, given it's a bucket list destination. This did not spoil our enjoyment of the stay. However it was a bit of a shock. Needs a bit of an update
Everything was really great, especially the host, who gives a personal service, and we had a truly lovely relaxing stay. Breakfast is spot-on and views are unrivalled. Luggage issues are dealt with well, considering the terrain

TaiwanThe breakfasts are sent by their cooperative restaurant in Fira. First day they just give us one set, which we are two people. It would be better if the front gate always locked and can only unlock by customers and host. Now the security is only built on trust and respect at there, if someone who doesn't care about it, your territory could be invaded easily. Especially during the sunset.
John is friendly and really positive to assist us. We really appreciate it ! The room is quite beautiful and the view, too.

Nothing was too much trouble for John who provided the most excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours. Will definitely stay here again on our next Santorini trip
