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 KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like. We enjoyed chatting with other travellers and enjoyed the pool and breakfast.
We stayed in the four person apartment, which was clean, comfortable, homely, and had the most fabulous views from a raised terrace. We enjoyed joining the Greek food tasting evening at the local taverna with other travellers and the Caveland team.

NetherlandsThe only thing was that the shower was quite cold, but this wasn’t a big deal to me because a cold shower after a hike in the sun is nice anyway :).
Absolutely loved this hostel! The place is gorgeous, it’s at a good walking distance from Fira town and the bus stop to all the other towns on the island. The staff is super lovely and welcoming and there are plenty of activities to book through them or to join with other hostel guests, like dinners and movie nights. The breakfast which is included is very good as well and you can pick whatever you want each morning. The dogs are so sweet as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I’m sure I will be back in the future!

United KingdomGreat Hostel just outside Fira (walkable). Laid back with a great pool and friendly staff. Perfect location for those wanting to see a bit more of the local Santorini scene rather than the expensive over-developed tourist areas. The three dogs are super friendly too !!

AustraliaWould have liked some more group activities as a solo traveller, that’s why I booked a hostel. Breakfast wasn’t served til 8.30 (they were never on time) and you still had to wait til they served each person individually. If you have a 9am tour or transfer pick up you’ll be rushing to eat or just skip breakfast. Portions were small & same thing every day. Worth skipping.
I booked a private room which was a decent size, had a fridge and a basic electric stove. Good air conditioning. Would definitely suit 2 people.

United KingdomEverything was perfect, nothing to complain about.
Everything about this place was excellent. it has many open spaces and places to set outside and around the lobby, the rooms are big, fully equipped, has everything you need. AC works perfectly well, internet always available and fast. Breakfast was good enough, freshly prepared every morning with things you choose, you can take your tray and sit anywhere to have your breakfast. The swimming pool is very well kept, clean, tidy and not crowded. Plenty of parking available on site. the staff and owners are amazing and very helpful

United KingdomThe room gets cold so needed to layer up when sleeping and it was a long walk from the main road with some hilly road. Definitely need to get breakfast before leaving.
Had a wonderful stay. I loved the breakfast they served, very simple but helped my friend and I to get through the day. We were greeted with 2 lovely dogs on arrival. Easy check-in and we could leave our belonging before check in and after check out. Staff were really nice.

United StatesWhile the location made it a little difficult to get around without renting a car/motorcycle/atv, the staff was awesome about arranging pickups and giving directions. We’ll likely rent a car when we return to make things easier, but we will definitely be going back.
Such an awesome and unique place to stay. We booked a private “cave” for two and it was so comfortable, and surprisingly big! The hostel grounds are reason enough to stay with a lot of outdoor seating and a nice pool, but the staff were definitely the best part of everything. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and they even helped us book a last minute tour so we could see the whole island before we left. The rooms were also nice and cool on their own, no need for turning on the A/C! Highly recommend this unique experience.

United StatesThe hotel/hostel's location was the only challenge. It is situated around a 30 minute walk from Fira, and there is no option to take a bus (although there are buses Fira once you walk into town). Not only is it far from a town, it is still situated in a tourist-y area with lots of hotels around. All that said, I think I personally found Santorini a bit over-touristed, which is not the fault of the hotel!
The room was so cute. It worked well for the three of us, and we were very grateful for the free wine and olive dip left in the room for us. The staff was very helpful and gave us instructions for self check-in since we were arriving later in the evening. They were also very helpful in terms of navigating the island and finding activities. All of their directions were very helpful and correct. There are also two dogs on the property, both of which were so sweet and lovely! The free breakfast in the morning was one of the highlights as well. They customize the breakfast according to your preferences, it is all made fresh, and it's a great opportunity to meet other travelers and discuss plans and tips. I highly recommend this hotel, and don't skip breakfast!

United Statesthe one thing I didn’t like was a window in my room. It was a small window close to the ceiling. East facing with no shutters. every morning the dark room would have a beam of light come into it through the window at sunrise.
everything about this place was so nice. You get the feeling of being in Santorini without ever leaving. The breakfast was incredible. normally free breakfasts are 1 item or a self serve. this place they served you 4 things on a tray. The bus stop to Fira is not too far away so while you’re not right where the action is you have a cheap close way to get there.
