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 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.).

United StatesNot one thing, everything was perfect.
Blessed Blue is an absolute dream! I’m still pinching myself that we got to stay here. From transfers to the setting smack in the middle of Oia to breakfast delivery to the views out the windows, this is one stay that will be hard to top. The hospitality and communication too are top notch. We traveled as a family with our two young adults and had plenty of space. Such beautiful memories made. Thank you!

AustraliaCannot criticise anything other than myself for not booking an extra day and night
Everything!! The house was exquisite. Excellent view for sunrise and enjoying the view post midday as shade comes over the hill. The owner and host has been THE BEST host Ive ever had in over twenty years of travelling. So kind. Excellent communication. Small touches to make our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Blessed Blue. I will come back to Oia and hope to stay here again with Blessed Blue.

United StatesThis is a special property and a was a wonderful experience. The host arranged a driver to meet us at the ferry port at arrival, once in Oia the property is only accessed by walking. The host met us in Oia and had a porter help carry our luggage, explaining the details and recommendations of Oia as we walked. The property itself is beautiful, clean and has views of the ocean and city of Oia. They had a local bottle of wine, coffee and tea there for us. Our concierge, Lazarus was incredible! Excellent recommendations for restaurants and attended to our every need. We set up a same-day boat excursion with him and had a day not to forget! He took us by boat around the island for several hours, teaching us about the history and culture of the island. We jumped off rocks, swam, snorkeled - all while drinking local wine/beer (and lemonade for the kids). It was truly special. I can't wait to return!

Loved loved loved so glad I booked! + 10/10 for blessed blue. We started getting communication the day before about our stay on what’s app and they were so helpful and caring. From the minute we landed our transport was there and they arranged to carry our bags promptly. Our driver and her husband carried our bags were amazing! We met with our host in town and she was waiting for us and she gave us a whole run down of the town and the apartment. It was so smooth. We LOVED the location yet the quietness of the area. The patio was beautiful! They had wine waiting for us! They had a nice way to order breakfast early to the patio which was great because we love waking to early. The Greek yogurt was delicious! The entire breakfast was actually really good and we ordered it daily. The host helped us coordinate the best cooking class- secret kitchen Santorini!! The owner / manager thanked us for our stay at the end which was really sweet. Our whole experience there was top notch and I would recommend and stay again!

United StatesWe have nothing negative to say.
We LOVED our stay at Blessed Blue. It was comfortable and cute and had an incredible view. Our 10 year old was particularly awed by both the suite and the view. Convenient location in the middle of beautiful Oia. Yet quiet and dark for sleeping. The best part was the graciousness and kindness of the hosts. They helped us with our bags, made sure we had water, gave us housekeeping options, made reservations and most importantly when our ferry to our next location got cancelled they helped us make and execute a new plan. They took such good care of us. I could not recommend more highly.

United KingdomAbsolutely amazing stay. The view was incredible and it was the perfect setting to sit on the balcony to relax whilst looking at the stunning view. The host was incredibly kind and attentive, he provided recommendations, help with bags, help organising breakfast to the room and made my birthday so special. The suite itself was so simplistic and cute, and I very much enjoyed being inside as well as on the balcony. Completely worth it however you do have to walk down many steep stairs to reach the suite as it is on the cliff side so if you do not have strong mobility this is not the place for you. Aside from that I would not hesitate to recommend this unique place for anyone looking for a reasonable price with an amazing view point to stay in Oia Santorini!

United KingdomThere are some narrow and steep paths to get to the property. However, it also means less tourists wandering around.
The property and the location is exceptional. The view is picturesque. Our little one said that the best thing about Oia (apart from ice cream, of course) was staying in our little cave. We liked the design, attention to detail, and the coffee machine. We also got some bonus fruit and local wine. The apartment is very central, but at the same time off the main tourist track. The owners gave us some useful recommendations about Oia and Santorini in general.

SingaporeIt was so special to stay in a cave at Oia (Santorini). The view from the balcony was so serene and peaceful, we also enjoyed the sunrise view. The room was clean, nicely decorated, kitchen was well-equipped, good amenities. Service was impeccable, one of the key highlight of our Santorini experience - great, clear, and prompt communication. Thank you for your hospitality!

AustraliaWe have to travel a long way to experience Oia and Blessed Blue again! Be mindful that if you travel with family, just be aware that there isn't much privacy in the room.
We had a great time, and the Blessed Blue team made our stay in Oia glamorous. The view from Blessed Blue is fabulous. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and beautiful. The communication from the Blessed Blue team from the time of booking was exceptional, and they kindly rescheduled the taxi when flights were changed last minute. Highly recommend using the porter service, as you have to carry the baggage down the steps. Lazarus met us at the post office car park and also helped us with some bags. We really adore the customer service from Lazarus and Hermione. We were so happy that we organized a tour around the island with Lazarus, and, in fact, his local knowledge, history, and information about Oia were exceptional. The tour was great value for money. Thank you, Lazarus, for all the beautiful photos and everything you have done. We loved the souvenir gift.

United States10 out of 10! We experienced 3 accommodations in Santorini and Blessed Blue was by far the best. The location is perfect, super quiet yet few steps away from Oia’s main street. The cave was spotless, cozy, great view and had everything: wine, fruits, coffee, water… Finally, Lazarus was probably one of the best hosts we’ve had in all our travels. He basically would send us a quick message everyday to check if we needed anything and on the day of our checkout he offered a small goodbye gift 🤗

We had an amazing time staying at Blessed Blue and we’re so glad we chose to stay here in Oia. Oia is mind blowingly beautiful and picture postcard perfect. The view from Blessed Blue is also fantastic. You feel like you’re in Oia ( which you are ) but since you’re down a lot of steps you don’t have crowds passing by. Oia is lovely , full of gift shops and views. And if you walk a few minutes inland you can find much cheaper places to eat. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and beautiful. With finishing touches that made it an extra special stay. Most of this was completely down to Lazarus who works for Blessed Blue. He helped us find the accommodation and met us in the post office car park ( if you hire a car you can park here for free ) and carried our bags with us. I would note that the steps are steep down to Blessed Blue. But mostly, take Lazarus up on his offer to meet you. You’ll also avoid getting lost this way. In fact a lot of Oia ( & Santorini ) is hilly / steep with lots of steps - really tricky if you had mobility concerns and TRAINERS ARE A MUST - flip flops or sandals will not quite cut it when navigating the steps everywhere on the island. Lazarus kept in touch every day with weather updates, helpful tips, asking if we needed anything and imparting his knowledge of the island , and Oia in particular. You certainly don’t often receive customer service quite like it in the UK. Definitely a much more personal and hands on approach. He even brought us some souvenir gifts as we left and left us some wine, water and fruit on our arrival. If you are thinking of booking Blessed Blue … like I was … just do it. It’s a truly special and beautiful place to stay on such a gem of the island. Thank you Lazarus and the Blessed Blue team.
