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.).

PhilippinesWe loved this place!!! Perfect location, just beside the blue domes yet it was still very private. Very good and filling breakfast, complete with Mains, bread, and juice. The apartment is fully equipped, and our daughter loved the jacuzzi! And Elisabeth was such a good host, arranged everything for us including the Catamaran cruise. It was a perfect holiday for us, very relaxing, and will definitely book again. I just wish we stayed much longer ❤️

JordanAbsolutely nothing!
The property location is perfect! The views from the outside terrace are stunning! This place is huge and spacious! As soon as you open the front door, there’s a blue dome church right in front, so beautiful! Elizabeth, the hostess, picked us up from the port. She gave us many recommendations prior our arrival to make our stay easy! Very helpful, very sweet and gave us her own personal number in case we needed anything. She had a porter take our luggage to the room bc there’s so many stairs in all of Santorini. Location was excellent, a 3 min walk to the panoramic views from Oia castle and also to Ammoudi Bay.

United StatesOia is very crowded- especially when the cruise ships come in. This is NOT the fault of the host or the property but does impact the overall stay. While we loved our time here, it's expensive and that combined with the crowds means we would probably choose another island or location for future trips. However, it is truly an experience and I'm glad we chose to stay here.
The location is absolutely gorgeous with a view of Ammoudi Bay and the cliffside from the front balcony. The house was very clean and comfortable and each morning breakfast was delivered to the front door. The host was AMAZING- she made suggestions on things to do and restaurants and assisted with making reservations. As it is difficult (impossible?) to rent a car and stay in Oia, our host arranged for all transportation to sites that were outside of Oia. The entire stay was very luxurious and our host helped with any questions/needs we had.

United StatesElizabeth, the manager of the property are exceptional! She is super friendly, welcoming, and communication is easy with great hospitality. She went above and beyond to make sure our family's stay in Santorini is memorable and amazing. Elizabeth deserve a raise! Elizabeth reached out for our arrival information, and offered great price for pick up service from and to the port (Oia is at least 30 min from port with no traffic). She also recommend activities and restaurants around Oia prior to our arrival, and offered to help with reservations for us. Pick up was easy from port with her warm welcoming, and her partner helped carry luggages to the property when we arrive in Oia. The cave house is clean with full amenities (internet, electric stove, water boiler, fridge, plates, utensils, towels) and a jacuzzi in the front. There are two bedroom, two bathroom, and two living room (one inside of of the room). The location is great with privacy with a front door acting as a gate, blocking off tourist passing by the street while you're in the jacuzzi. It's close to the main street with a convenient store within walking distance from the parking lot, and you will also have a breathtaking view from your front yard. The beautiful sunset viewing point that people came to Oia for is also extremely close, which is less than 3 minutes walk from the house. Oia wasn't crazy crowded since we came right before peak season (end of March), which is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Elizabeth offered transportation services to location if she can make it to her schedule, which is phenomenal because buses and taxis are limited on the island. I was going to look for a taxi after a late dinner in Fira instead of having her come out of the way, but she still offered to come at 9:30pm to take our group back to Oia (which is great, because taxi was also harder to find when we were there in March possibly due to off-peak season). Highly recommend! Thank you, Elizabeth!

MalaysiaOur stay was in early March, so the weather was still a little bit cold and it was off-season for tourists. The room at the front was a little bit cold and the heaters did not function very well, but it was warmer in the areas of the house that was inside the rocks. Be aware that cars cannot enter the area, and you would be walking from the parking spot to the house, and would encounter a lot of steps. This applies for any of the places you stay in Oia. Thankfully, the house is located not too far from the parking spot, and also not too far down. This was good for my parents and their knees. To enter the house, you have to climb down a set of stairs which can be a bit precarious for children and older adults. The terrace cannot be accessed from inside the house, and I imagine during summer, you may have to deal with intruding tourists. Most of these things are not within the hosts' control, and don't let it stop you from choosing this as a place to stay and enjoy Santorini
It was a truly nice experience staying at this cave house. We were amazed by it from the first moment we stepped onto its terrace, and continued to be amazed as we walked down into the house. You get an incredible view, and even though you don't get to see the sunset or sunrise directly from the house, it is still beautiful. Although I guess that is more a testament to Santorini, rather than the house. The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with 2 sofabeds in the living room. The kitchen is fairly well-equipped but a little bit small. There is a jacuzzi outside the house, which was very pleasant to use and you are protected from the sun and also passers-by by a tarp. There is a terrace on top of the house with lounge chairs and a table, which makes for a very good spot to sip tea/coffee while waiting for the sun to rise behind the hills on the left. The house is about a 5-minute walk away from the sunset-view spot, and close to the main strip which has shops. The host, Elizabeth, is wonderful. She had contacted us earlier to help out with making arrangements for transport and other activities in Santorini. She came along to pick us up at the airport, and also later dropped us off when we needed to leave. She also helped to arrange a private tour for our family of 6 adults, which was an experience my parents really loved.
