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 KingdomThere are no windows or views as it's a cave style house. Good value for money due to generous space and proximity to Oia.
It is necessary to inform beforehand the property of your arrival time as there is no reception. If you have informed them in advance, someone will be there to hand over the keys and explain house rules and surroundings. Very nice comfortable traditional cave style house (but not in actual cave), with ample space and about 10-15 min stroll to Oia.

Loved the cave apartment, was a unique experience. Had a nice rooftop terrace with views over the valley. Great couple of restaurants in the little village just minutes away. Oia is only 10 minutes walk away so you get to enjoy the madness but can then return to the sanctuary of this lovely accommodation.

United StatesThe bus stop drops you off at the top (walk DOWN) of a confusing maze in order to get to the location. From Oia town, it's easier to find. It is about a 20 min walk to Oia, which surprised me, and you walk on the main road for a little bit. For a solo traveler, I didn't love the distance to the Oia town, but for couples or friends it'd be fine.
It was very clean, and they offered coffee, espresso, water. It is an interesting, unique room, and the shared terrace is nice (know that you can go in prior to getting your keys). The host was VERY communicative: quick and helpful on the Booking messaging app. Wifi was great, pillows were comfy. Host arranged a taxi pick up, and Mr. Nikos walked me to the lot, which was very helpful.

Great location and perfect walking distance to our favorite places to eat. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved that because we rented all 3 rooms, we had the area to ourselves.

United KingdomThe staff were so lovely, our flight was delayed and we arrived close to 2am in the morning, but Nico came to greet us at the car park and took us back to the accommodation. They were so kind, told us about the area and gave us recommendations. They also were very generous with their complimentary snacks and drinks which I felt was very outstanding for a small place.

The fabulous view, close to some lovely restaurants, away from the crowds but close enough to walk into the main area of Oia. Niko was there to greet us when we arrived, with a smile and a helping hand to assist us with our luggage.

United StatesThe property is pretty much in the center of a village, so you will have to walk a good bit from your parked car, up and down a few slopes.
The property is relatively clean and had typical hotel accommodations were all provided in the price.

Quiet location in Finikia, spacious room with good amenities. Eva and Niko were very helpful and helped us with bookings and keeping our bags before check in/ out. Ample coffee, tea and juice was provided in the room so that was a nice touch. Quite a walk to Oia under the hot sun but it was nice at night.

United Arab Emirates15-20 mins walk from Oia, just a bit cold to walk at night in spring but during the day should be fine.
Nikos is very helpful, would always refill the free coffee capsules, milk and other complimentary items. He provided also free water and orange juice inside the fridge. The studio is complete with all you need like a home away from home. Within 2 mins walk away from restaurant and nearby supermarket. You could book an airport transfer through them which will only cost EUR 35 one way which is lower than Uber and other agency at the airport. Would love to stay again if I come back.

RomaniaIf you don’t rent a car, you can’t move around, as the local transport buses are very comfortable but their route is circular ,in one direction, and if uou want to go from Oia to Finikia you circle all the upper part of the island. Fortunately Nikos helped us and renting a car was not a problem.
The traditional house (studio) has its small yard, a terrace over the hous with sea view. Eva and Nikos were always very responsive. The kitchenette corner is very well equipped for breakfast.
