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 KingdomThe only fault I can say is that our plunge pool didn't light up at night, but when we told them about the issue, they said they would take a look. I'm sure will be fixed for the next people!
We loved the place. Faye and Dimitri were incredibly helpful from start to finish. Faye gave us plenty of information when we met and also gave us support throughout where needed, for recommendations of things to do and places to eat/if we need to book etc. It was a gorgeous view from the place and it felt very special to stay here. We loved how we walked out straight into being able to eat, shop and get to sunset view in such a short walk.

Her recommendations were all fantastic and made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. From restaurant reservations, car rental assistance, airport transfers, it was all seamless. Dimitri was also great. He helped us with our luggage at check in and check out. The property and management is well thought out. We would gladly return. Thank you so much.

United StatesOur family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) couldn't have chosen a better option in Oia. The place is wonderful and right in the middle of the city, close to the blue dome church. We rented the villa and it was perfect for the 4 of us. Faye is a wonderful host and replied to our messages immediately. If you are traveling with a family, this is the place.

United StatesThe only issue was the shower. If you didn’t shut the door in just the right spot, the water leaked out and soaked the floor up to the mini fridge. It happened twice and the water dried very fast, but having a drain outside of the shower door would help the problem.
Everything! It was gorgeous, well maintained, and the staff was incredible. Faye was AMAZING and so helpful! Our stay in Oia would not have been the same without her.

The location is one of dreams. The staff was very helpful and friendly, they left us a bottle of wine in the room which was a very welcome surprise. Our ferry was cancelled on the day and the staff allowed us to stay in the property for an extra few hours to allow us to rearrange our travels.

AustraliaNothing its absolutely brilliant!
Perfect location in Oia at the castle end. Greeted at the arranged drop off point by the hosts Dimitri and Faye who helped take our bags to the Caldera Nest Studio. The location is perfect as you can literally close the gate on the crowds and head into your own private oasis out of sight of everyone. the balcony is absolutely unbelievable, large with a private hot tub, table and chairs and an uninterrupted view out over the Caldera, Santorini and the castle ruins. The Nest is a cute and rustic well appointed cave house perfect for a couple and has all the amenities you could need. Faye is available for anything you may need, answered any questions we had promptly and checking out is just as easy with help to get your bags back to the transfer location.

PhilippinesThere was a time when electricity was down for some of the sockets, but other than that, it was great!
Great location! Super near where the sunset viewing is. Quite a walk but a very enjoyable walk to the many restaurants. Love that they also gave a gift for us (a salad set with olive oil, olives and dried herbs) and a bottle of wine! So sweet! They also gave a map of the area and some great restaurant suggestions. The room size was good for two people. My husband and I enjoyed the warm outdoor tub.

AustraliaThere was no fault I could make of this property.
This is a wonderful location for a visit to OIa. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Hectors Cave house was perfect for our family of 5. I was worried it would be too small as we are all extremely tall, but there was ample space for all of us. The outside area afforded an amazing view down to the ocean and the plunge pool allowed us to cool off when needed. The Cave House is well equipped with everything you need.
