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 KingdomWe loved everything
This place is exceptional, everything about it is perfect. Katerina was so helpful and answering questions before the stay and throughout the trip. It’s even better than the pictures! The location is perfect. The area is so beautiful, with amazing restaurants and it’s lovely and quiet to thoroughly enjoy the huuuuge balcony and plunge pool. Katerina changed the temperature as per my request before arriving and constantly checked everything was okay. The first night she booked us a restaurant after arriving late which was just perfect in every way! The walk to Oia is very short and easy - we went everyday - I would stay here again and will in a heartbeat. The accommodation is very spacious, and lovely and cool due to the cave house style. The balcony is perfect, we had breakfast there daily and used to plunge pool mornings and afternoons - and enjoyed a drink watching the sunset which you can see from the balcony also! I honestly cannot fault this place, and highly recommend it to anyone! Katerina clearly cares for the place and for her guests thank you!!!

Everything, it’s quiet away from the hustle bustle of Oia yet is only a short walk away. The village is adorable and the restaurants are steps away and excellent. The owner is so lovely and can’t do enough to help. Such a nice nice visit. We stayed in the rooftop room with private terrace and spa pool and it was just perfect. The view is perfection.

New ZealandWe had a wonderful stay thanks to Katerina. She was lovely and gave us great recommendations for beautiful Santorini. The location was perfect, a short walk from Oia and very close to the bus stop to go to Fira or elsewhere on the island. Beautiful clean room - was especially nice to have a coffee machine and water each day!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing
What a fantastic stay from start to finish. The location was perfect, 10 minutes walk out of Oia, close enough to head out and enjoy the views and perfectly placed to step back and find some peace and calm. The cave house is in a quaint village called Finikia. It’s charming with three restaurants (all fabulous) and a great little supermarket. The island buses run just outside the village so there’s plenty of options to explore. The accommodation was fabulous, cool, comfy, equipped with the all important coffee machine and plenty of pods! The host Katarina is totally amazing. She organised our transfers, trips, restaurant bookings (her brothers sunset restaurant is lovely) and even went out of her way to find me an anniversary card and cake. We were made to feel like family, especially touched when she organised for a surprise anniversary dessert for us on our last night. it was really hard to say goodbye! This accommodation is totally fantastic, don’t hesitate…book it!

United KingdomNothing. Just wish I’d booked longer
This is in a really pretty area of Santorini that is a short 10 minute walk to the busy Oia. Really liked that is wasn’t as busy, there are some lovely restaurants really close by as well. The owner of this hotel is so nice, she arranged all our transfers and was waiting for us at the bus stop. The rooms themselves are done out to a very high standard, we loved staying in a little cave house. We had our own private terrace and hot tub that made it feel extra special. Will definitely return

CanadaNo complaints!
Staff were wonderful - met us at the transfer drop-off, gave overview of the attractions, were overall very sweet. Location was nice, in a small village about 5-10 min walk from Oia, but some really good restaurants closeby. Very cute garden and plunge pool - nice to soak in after the Fira to Oia hike! Room was very big, lots of room for the 3 of us. The "cave" was a very cool atmosphere - one of the coolest spots we stayed in Greece.

United KingdomNothing - everything was perfect
Perfect from start to finish. Katerina arranged transfer from the pet to the hotel and met us on arrival, looking after our bags as we were a bit early to check in. When we went to the room, it was fantastic, it was clean and spacious, beautifully decorated, and a calm, cool oasis from the business of Oia. There is a shared private garden area and plunge pool which is also a calm, relaxing oasis from the crowds in Oia. Location wise is also perfect - a short 10 minute walk from the start of the main tourist areas of Oia, and from the start of the 10km Oia-Fira hike. Katerina was on site all the time if you needed her, she was the perfect host! Highly recommend this place to use a base to explore Oia!

United KingdomNothing - everything was lovely and we will definitely stay here when we come back to Santorini :)
We only stayed here for one night the night before a flight back to the UK - but as soon as we settled into the house, we regretted not booking it for longer. The cave houses are beautifully decorated and the plunge pool and garden area is wonderful and peaceful. Katerina was a lovely host, she even met us from the taxi drop off and prepared a lovely basket of breakfast items for us to eat outside the morning of our flight. The location is about a 15 min walk Oia, and we much preferred staying here rather than closer to Oia and in the madness of all the other tourist. Would highly recommend staying here :)
