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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely everything !!!!! Efi is the BEST host we have ever encountered. She greeted us from the taxi, took our heavy bags, hugs all round and told us we are home. She had prepared a welcome platter of delicious food and offered us wine to let us settle in and then we open the door to our luxury cave and just WOW !!!!!!! It was meticulously styled, spotless and better than the photos. Honestly we were blown away. Having 2 bathrooms was a total bonus ! Even for 2 I would say spend the extra and be in heaven ! It’s in a very quiet location and yet a simple cab ride from the top off the street takes you straight into Fira for the caldera view, restaurants, night life etc or you can walk(about 20 mins). Note if you cab - take note of the petrol station sort of near where you have to get out as both our cabs got lost. The tranquil outdoor setting was pure bliss at night and EFI also cooks a beautiful breakfast which was delicious. I honestly can’t rave enough !!!!!!! Added extras: lollies, traditional Greek wine each day, fresh fruit in your fridge and they provide a steamer (in place of an iron). We also had to leave early the next day and that meant missing out on breakfast so she went to the bakery and made us a takeaway pack. Just next level hospitality.

Hong KongMy girlfriend complains about the little insects in the room. Maybe adding an bug zapper is better for girls.
Freshly made and tasty breakfast provided. We can enjoy the meal in a lovely garden. The host alex is very kind to share his travel tips with us. It helps us to enjoy santorini with convenience. I also like the decoration of my superior villa cave room. We can light the candle at night which is pretty romantic. The location of hotel is close to Fira. It is within a walking distance and time. In between, there are some shops and mini market. You can get everything you need event at mid night. Last but not least, I am glad to have Alex arranged us the car from the port to hotel and from hotel to the port. Big recommendation to everyone visiting Santorini.

PortugalAbsolutely a 10 out of 10! One of the best receptions we had, starting with Alex coming to meet us and help us find a perfect parking slot near the hotel, to every morning greeting us with a very cozy and tasty breakfast, to give us suggestions about our plans for the day and help adjust them with local knowledge, everything was perfect! Alex was always available to give suggestions for good and local restaurants wherever we were on the island, as well. Absolutely recommend!

ItalyUnfortunately the fact we had to go back home 🥺
We absolutely love breakfast they served us every single morning. Alex, the owner, was incredibly sweet and pleasant. He always proposed us something new each day. Plus he helped us with advices and local tips to visit most of the island. We stayed both in the superior cave and simple cave room which were comfy, well-cleaned and tidy. The public areas were cleaned every morning so you could have both relaxing moment and the possibility to chat with other guests. The property is perfectly located cause it links you to the center of Fira in just 15 minutes on foot (2 minutes by bus). However it is also in the nearby of the bus stop which takes you whenever you want quickly and in a cheap way🤪. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED 💯

AustraliaThis place is great. It’s far enough away from the crowds of Fira but close enough to walk there if you want to. The rooms were beautiful and unique, the breakfast was home cooked Alex’s mum, and Alex was the perfect host. Our group of four travellers all felt like family the minute we were greeted by Alex. Even after only 5 days, there were a couple tears saying goodbye. This is what hospitality is all about.

The location was central for exploring the whole island with easy bus access to everywhere you might want to go. Breakfast was so good, the courtyard area was peaceful but social, the rooms clean and comfortable.

United KingdomI really liked the breakfast with fresh and quality food. However, I would provide more choices and diversify a bit the menu especially for those who spend more than two days or so. Also I would make the effort to offer home made jam/marmelade and fresh croissants if possible because those monodose/processed ones clash with everything else.
Alex is one the best hosts I have ever had. He gave us excellent tips to visit the amenities Santorini can offer and to dine out in very good restaurants. Accommodation is clean, well designed, makes sense of the caves and located in a quiet place convenient to get Thira easily (walking distance 15/20 min).

SloveniaIf you want to experience high luxury and personalised service on point this is the right place to stay in when visiting Santorini. Alex and his mother were very polite and hospitable, basically they hosted us like we were staying at their own home. We sincerely appreciated the travel tips and guidance for the local neighbourhood, famous sightseeings, transportation and food that Alex gave us even on the first day of our arrival to the apartment. Alex was spending time with us every day and helping us plan our day to make the most of it. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were cleaned on a daily basis. Large hotel chains can learn a lot from Alex about how to properly manage, host your guests properly and be successful at direct marketing.
