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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomBad sides: if someone on upstair’s villa there is no privacy, they will be watching you in hot tub all the times. Breakfast is left in the freeze not served. Even if we were in villa maid came to wash the floor before we checked out and without asking us! We knocked other guest’s door for check in as there was no staff, reception or instructions anywhere!
Good sides: location, fasciitis and views were great. We were in Hercules Villa. All the complimentary things were great. Loved private hot tub and Jacuzzi. Day view and night view were great from the hot tub.

AustraliaThere are steps - but if you want to stay in a cave house in the cliffs this is how it is - and you just get to wear off all the delicious food you eat by climbing the steps
Our stay at Ifestio Villas was excellent. The traditional cave home was comfortable and a wonderful haven from the crazy that is Oia this time of year. The stay was made even better from our host, Katerina. She helped us no much both before and during our stay. She clearly loves what she does and is great at it. Thank you so very much Katerina for a holiday experience we won’t ever forget.

excellent views, helpful staff. porters brought luggage down to and up from villa. private patio and pool. big enough for family of five with two bedrooms and two baths. Hercules villa is better alternative to two hotel rooms. steps to villa are very manageable.

United StatesEverything was great!
The location in Oia was perfect! We absolutely loved the villa! It was very spacious and the two full bathrooms were fantastic since there were three of us traveling together. Our host Katerina was fantastic as well, she was very insightful as to the history of the island. I had been there four times before, but still did not know some of the history she shared with us. We had a great day, and I definitely would recommend Ifestio Villas!

United StatesWhat a dream this place is. I can't not recommend it enough. I had traveled to Oia 15 years ago, and always wanted to come back and stay on the cliffs with the caldera view. This exceeded every aspect of what I was looking for! The owner and her staff are an absolute gem. It's close to everything, just a walk up and you are right in the center of it all. Relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful.

United KingdomThe property was great, but if you have mobility issues this is not the place for you. Many steps to get to the property and back up to the main through way. Not a problem for most, but think it is important to note for others.
This cave house is exactly as described. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms in an authentic cave house feel. Great outside deck with pool and then another lower level with three lounger chairs that have the most spectacular view. The host was super easy to communicate with and provided all the information, including recommendations, transfers and more. Housekeeping was available daily and the pool was also cleaned each day. Perfect for a family getaway. The great thing about the property is it is really in the main part of town but down the hill so you have complete privacy and peace and quiet.

Breath taking views, gorgeous villa, created memorable vacation for our family. Katerina was awesome and detail oriented, We love her. She took care of everything thing for us including booking boat trips and restaurant dinners. The pool in the terrace is a very nice touch. If and when I go to Santorini again, I will only stay in that villa, nowhere else.

This villa is absolutely fantastic! The jetted tub is perfect for enjoying a bath while staring at the beautiful view over all Santorini, and the room is fresh, spacious and equipped with everything you may need. The location is superb, with a breathtaking view of Oia. Katerina is a wonderful host. She replies all of my chats as soon as possible. She gave me so many little tips that made our stay even more special. I would really recommend the place to anyone. You won't regret it!
