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.).

CanadaEveryone is aware of the beautiful views of blue waters, the caldera and the sunsets in Santorini. We made a three day /night trip and this place certainly does not disappoint! We stayed at the Ira hotel in Firostefani just next to Fira. The place is spotless with multiple places to sit and enjoy the view. It was perfect as you stay away from the crowds of Fira yet a nice walk along the various hotels and restaurants and the endless views on your way to Fira. Our stay at the Ira hotel was just what we needed. A private relaxing time with as much pampering as you need, but never over the top. We had a nice room with a balcony overlooking the entire bay and the town. Better still, it gave us an unobstructed full view of the sunsets and the town. The stay included a full breakfast each morning and was a perfect spread from Greek yogurt, fresh fruit like strawberries and kiwi, honey and homemade jam to toast and cereal (and all the other things a hot breakfast come with like bacon eggs, and sautéed mushrooms and veggies etc) However, the Ira Hotel is a special place with clean rooms, and a nice spa and ample public lounge space with views for miles. Most importantly the service here is what makes this boutique hotel and spa stand out. From the Hotel Manager Konstantina, to the bell boy and the restaurant staff, they were always looking to ensure we were well taken care of and having a good time. Konstantina took the time on our arrival to welcome us with recommendations on what to do, and arranged for a car for us and gave us the most important must do sites on the island and beyond with tours. It went a long way to making our stay on Santorini a relaxing and memorable one. Thank you to Konstantina and all her staff that make this hotel a special one even on an already special island. The owners should be very proud of their staff that definitely make this place a "must stay at"!

+ The view on Firostefani from the swimming pool and the lounge is spendid! You can seat there and have breakfast in the morning, enjoying the stunning panorama. + Spacious and cleaned room, with comfortable beds (our room #122 with a terrace table and chairs) + Good location on Firostefani, halway between Fira (20 mins walk) and Imerovigli (15 mins walk). + Great breakfast with greek specialities, fruits, pastries, etc.. and even pasta or rice. Take your plate to the lounge to start your day with the sun rays on your face and admiring the view! + Friendly and helpful staff including Chris & John at the reception + We recommend to walk to Skaros RockRemains, a centuries-old castle on a steep path with views of the caldera. > From the hotel to the airport: the shuttle is 25€ > From the airport to Fira Bus station, take the local bus 1,60€ (15 mins) > Walk to the hotel for 20 mins uphill, if you don't have a heavy suitcase.

United StatesThe breakfast was decent, particularly for me as a breakfast person, however, it could use some variety after seeing other hotels in Greece on our trip. There were some mornings my fiance didn't eat it because she wasn't a fan. Some hotels also offered a free airport/ port transfer on our trip, this venue does not and it was our most expensive hotel on our trip.
The staff and service was top notch. Views from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking.

CroatiaStaff was extremely nice. Everything was perfectly clean. Breakfast was fabulous. The apartments are in Firostefani (10 min of walk from Fira - main location), this is an extremely good choice if you like silence. The view from the pool is one of the better I've seen on the island (and I went through the whole island during my stay).

IndiaThe property is very conveniently located between Imerovigli and Fira. A quick walk for 10 mins will take you to the Fira, which is the hub for all the activities like cable car and boating. It is also very near to a bus stop from where you can take a bus to Oia, if you are not having a private car of your own. The staff is very friendly. Special mention for Chris from the front desk. He is extremely helpful and polite.
