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.).

United StatesHonestly, nothing. The room is perfectly located below the blue domes a little walk down the cliffs from the main street in Oia. While that means you have to be prepared for some stairs, it also kept the crowds away. In other words, it was the best of both worlds - both quiet and in a great spot.
My wife and I had an outstanding stay at Blue Arts Caves. The room was beautiful and in a great location, and the view was amazing. Even better, our host Catherine was incredibly helpful. She provided us with guidance before our arrival, and helped make several reservations for us for meals and tours - all of which were excellent. She also provided advice for us on other things we wanted to do while there. We can't say enough great things about the property or our host.

Amazing! Every single thing was fantastic, from the beautifully appointed room, the amenities, spectacular views, and most importantly, to Catherine, who was positively the best hostess I’ve ever encountered. She was on top of everything, very communicative, attentive, and pro-active in helping to curate a beautiful itinerary once we arrived. Can’t wait to come back!

United KingdomThe parking nearby was pretty cramped. Especially considering it was out of season. Would advise people not to rent a car if they can avoid it. Although not a problem for us, the steps to the cave were steep (as most would expect), so it may not be suitable for all.
Catherine was a fantastic host. The cave was as pictured and very spacious. Breakfast delivered every morning was an unexpected delight. We really loved the hot tub and extraordinary views.

United StatesCatherine was super accommodating and met us at the property at 1:30am when our flight landed with a porter to help us carry all of our bags. The room was in a great location - close to the Oia shops but off the beaten path enough that it was secluded and private. The place was very clean and well decorated. Catherine came back to the apartment the next morning to make us dinner reservations (at a great restaurant!) and help give us recommendations for the rest of the trip.

AustraliaMy wife and I are both foodies. For a classy place like the Blue Art Caves, the food (if it is supplied) needs to be at par with the place. From our perspective, we would have been happy (or happier) to not have had our breakfast at the villa. The food is served efficiently but, it needs to be classier. As an analogy, it seems that we are flying first class and have been served the economy class food. Nothing wrong with the food, it just doesn't match up to the place.
Loved the location. It was our first trip to Oia and we were blown away by the views from the villa. Catherine is an amazing hostess. She was at hand to meet us where the taxi dropped us off. She had a porter with her as well (and we did not realise how important the porter is until we went down the steps for about a 100 metres to our villa) that is included in the price. Catherine not only checked us in and explained the villa, she also made restaurant bookings and arranged transport for us as required. From our perspective, the villa is great and Catherine's warm welcome and assistance throughout our stay at Santorini made it an excellent choice.

SwitzerlandThe property is located next to the main street of Oia. In one of the branch of the streets, the Blue Art Cave is seating on the quite cliff. In the room, you can find modern stone cave well equipped with shower and a fantastic thermal bath with a view connected to the ocean. The most important thing is that the host is an extremely nice and friendly person. We had our trip fully organized by her which enable us to leave all the pressure behind and just enjoy the best in Santorini, including delicious food, sunset cruise,etc. Many thanks to Catherine provide us such an extraordinary experience.

Czech RepublicA beautiful, clean, modern yet classic Santorini cave apartment. Amazing terrace with panoramic views. Interesting solution for the location of the jacuzzi. The walk to the city up the stairs is quite challenging, but who doesn't like a challenge? We were very satisfied here. The only complaint is that the food service could have been handled a little better here. Overall, we were very satisfied.

FinlandBlue art cave it's an amazing accommodation! It's in the heart of Oia, but thanks to the wonderful position it isn't noisy and windy. It's just a quiet place where to recharge your soul. The view is stunning, you could just on the terrace and admire it. We had the cave with internal bathtub. You have privacy and still the view from the window. Breakfast and dinner are fabulous and you will feel full along☺️ . I think it was one of the best dinner we had in Santorini. Remember that restaurants there might be quite expensive. Catherine has helped us a lot also after we left our cave. She is very nice and helpful. She really wants to spoil and cuddle her customers. We have would like to stay longer.

United StatesOur host, Catherine, was amazing! She helped us with planning our itinerary while in Santorini - from every question I had from the moment of booking, until our stay at her home, she helped answer everything. She went all out and provided tons of information and advice - she even helped us find better options for custom experiences like a private cooking class, best winery experience, and private boat tour and helped make reservations at restaurants with the perfect seating reserved for us. The views were stunning and the residence itself was extremely well decorated and comfy. Like how most reviews mentioned, the steps to and from the villa provided us plenty of exercise...lol. So if you're someone that has knee/leg issues, just know that. Otherwise, We would definitely revisit. We loved Catherine and we highly recommend staying at her home when visiting Santorini!
