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 StatesExtra coffee pods for nespresso would’ve been nice.
The location was spectacular! Christina was always available if I needed anything. She set me up with personal drivers and always made the best reservations according to my needs. Housekeeping was wonderful and always worked around your schedule. I’m bringing my entire family back next year to experience this amazing place.

United StatesWe had a lower room so the walk up the steps everyday wasn’t to fun, however, it was so worth it. Careful if you have any leg problems, for the walk up may be tough.
This place has amazing views. Probably some of the best in Santorini.

United StatesAris Caves Hotel in Santorini is an absolute gem that truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Every corner of this boutique hotel is perfectly positioned to offer stunning panoramic vistas. The rooms are not only beautifully designed but also equipped with all the modern conveniences you could ask for. Despite the traditional cave-style architecture, every detail feels luxurious and comfortable, blending rustic charm with contemporary amenities. The cleanliness and attention to detail in the rooms were impeccable, making my stay all the more relaxing and enjoyable. What truly sets Aris Caves apart, however, is the staff and the incredible owner, Christina. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and unmatched hospitality. Christina and her team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering fantastic recommendations for local dining and activities, and making me feel right at home. Their genuine care and attentiveness made a world of difference. If you're looking for a unique, intimate, and unforgettable experience in Santorini, Aris Caves Hotel is the place to be. Between the stunning views, the beautiful accommodations, and the incredible service, this hotel is nothing short of perfection. I already booked my stay for next August!

Arrival into Aris Caves was very easy as Christina came to meet with us upon arrival. The stairs are steep but so is everywhere with an exceptional view in Santorini. The view made every flight worth it! The apartment was clean and I loved how the apartment was built into the cave, it was absolutely incredible. I travelled with my three kids who were 15,12 and 3 and whilst my older two were great I do think Santorini is probably not the greatest place for a loud and playful three year old :) Thank you for everything Christina!!

United KingdomToo many stairs which were quite uneven plus low walls with large drops. This put us off a bit going out.
Met with the porter at our taxi drop off. The porter carried our luggage all the way to our room and handed over the keys. Really brilliant service. The porter carried all of the luggage on his shoulders to descend down over 100 stairs.

United KingdomLook, there are steps up and down and they are killers BUT THAT IS SANTORINI ANYWHERE YOU GO, so not really a negative. We loved everything at Aris Caves.
The staff smiles, the attention to the details with the decoration and when receiving guests, but as well as the choice of toiletries brand (smell so lovely), the mattress, the homely smell of the bed lining and towels, beautiful furniture and all finishings. I can safely say THE BEST PLACE I HAVE BEEN IN A LONG TIME. I travel the world regularly so feel I can say how good Aris Cave was. Thank you to Christina, Katerina, Ervin and all the others that we didn't get their names but remember their smiles. Thank you Aris Cave for the amazing time. I forgot to mention the view of the Caldera... Now that was something else completely. The views from Aris Cave is breath taking. Enjoy. Oh, also forgot to mention how private the rooms and the whole hotel is protected from the constant flow of tourists taking pictures of the Caldera views from the pedestrian walk at the top of the white washed buildings in Santorini. BEST PLACE TO STAY! Oh, wait, just remember, the homemade granola and olive oil made by the family that owns the hotel (so you will not find it anywhere else in Santorini) and local Santorini bottle of wine to make your stay even nicer. Also, manager Christina is amazing, great business woman with a massive smile and a kind side to her, (loved meeting you Christina). Christina put us at ease straight away, talked us about the island and what and where to go with maps and all the Info we might need but also her number so if we needed anything else (ie. A last minute taxi, from somewhere back to the hotel if we didn't know how to explain to driver, etc), very held and dedicated.This is what I am saying, THE BEST!! THANK YOU ARIS CAVES - SANTORINI ❤️

United StatesHave nothing I didn’t like: Would maybe suggest screens on at least one window- we loved having the windows and doors open to see the scenery but naturally that let in some bugs. Also, when booking, strongly consider a room with a private pool (they were all booked up when we booked)
Aris Caves is an exceptional place to stay in Oia. It’s super central but tranquil and quiet. The views and room were breathtaking. Christina was unbelievable- she was there to help us with our every need including booking amazing activities and transportation. She even left us home made muffins! The property exceeded my expectations- in sum, chic, central, spotless, and quiet.

Exceptional view of the Caldera but away from the crowds. The outside space was perfect (we stayed in the Folio room) from breakfast spots, to sun loungers, to comfortable lounging area to watch the moon rise - oh and the spa! Everything you needed was available in the studio along with a very comfortable bed The space was considerably more attractive than the photos Finally the customer care was over and above and would go as far as to say the best we’ve ever received (and I’ve travelled a lot).
