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.).

CanadaIt was perfect for our family of 5.
The BEST location. Right in the heart of Firastefani (of course down some step steps), close to wonderful restaurants/shops and if u really felt the need, only a short beautiful 9min walk along the cliffside to the busy Fira. Kafieris Blue seemed to also have the largest pool that we saw which was much needed in the summer heat. The VIEWS are outstanding, which drew us to book here initially, but overall the property and staff are amazing. The private transfers to/fro port, marina, anywhere you wanted to go was such a nice option too vs taxi. And while there is no restaurant on site, we used a very good delivery service they recommended many times. Would definitely return to Kafieris Blue!

CanadaThe view of the Caldera is great. The room was a bit small, but was fine. The A/C worked well. The pool area is very nice. The breakfast was OK, we had better breakfasts at other hotels on other islands. The staff were friendly and helpful. They arranged transportation to and from the ferry terminal for us.

AustraliaFirstly the location was excellent. It's between Fora and Oia but off the main roads. So relatively speaking not many people. Our apartment was right on the edge of the Caldera so the views were exceptional. Watching the Cruise Ships arrive in the morning and literally the once in a lifetime sunsets, WOW. The apartment was spacious and beautifully appointed with our own private balcony. The service was excellent with the staff being very friendly and asking all the time if everything was ok and if we needed anything. We are so grateful for picking this hotel as it was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend this hotel. .

United StatesThe pool is deep only for swimmers and the air conditioning unit was a bit dated. It struggled if left on through the night.
Our family of four was very comfortable at Kafieris! We enjoyed the amazing Caldera view everyday especially, with the morning breakfast included. Jimmy works very hard to ensure guests have everything they need! The steps to the property ensure a beautiful view and are good exercise. Imegrovigli is well situated and central to get around the island.

GermanyWe had a great stay at Kafieris Blue Studios. The location is just awesome. Firostefani is not as crowded as Fira and Oia and you can still get everywhere quickly. The view from our terrace over the caldera was incredible. We could chose if we wanted to have breakfast on the public terrace next to the pool or on our own terrace. The studio was very clean and housekeeping was provided everyday by some lovely ladies. The hotel is privately owned by a lovely family. After some long research about accommodation on Santorini I think this is the best value for money that you can get if you want the direct caldera view.

BrazilThe hairdryer is very outdated. The towels are not very comfortable. The pillow is very high. There is an extra national fee in addition to the ones I had paid when booking.
The view is exquisite. The hotel atmosphere is very pleasant. The entire staff is very attentive, from the reception and cleaning staff to Jimmy, who is super helpful. The location is very good, just the right distance from the crowds of the center of Fira. It's a simple but good hotel, despite the stairs.

This is an excellent property with amazing sea and land views. Our room had a private terrace which we liked. The breakfasts are served on the pool terrace, there is a set menu with no buffet available. The staff are really helpful, particularly with getting your luggage in and out of the property (there are quite a few steps). Suggest you notify reception when you are about to arrive so they can have someone assist with luggage. The property is well situated being close to the main shopping and restaurant area, although not so close that it is affected by noise.

CanadaWe did so much research before booking Kafieris Blue Studios and wow, the property blew us away. It is located in Fira Stefani and we really think that this is the place to stay in Santorini. The views from every room were spectacular… as good as Oia or Fira and you don’t have to fight the crowds to see the sunset! A bonus, you are located within walking distance to both of these destinations, but can retreat back to some solitude, peace and tranquility. We felt that this place had good value relative to other places we looked at in Santorini - it really is a spectacular property. Having breakfast by the pool with an unobstructed view from the Caldera is a definite highlight. The gentleman who brings you breakfast is courteous and works very hard. He made our mornings happy and they made food accommodations for our daughter too. The staff does a great job cleaning - not just the rooms but wiping down all tables, chairs and outdoor areas every day - the place is really pristine. This place is a family run hotel - Mom and daughter manned the reception when we were there and were very kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable (according to our daughters the best beds they slept in in a month of European travel). We went in May, when the pool was a little chilly, but it didn’t stop us from going in and we appreciated how refreshing it was on the hot day we did the hike from Fira to Oia.

AustraliaThe villa we had was very good big enough for up to 3 people, Breakfast was very nice but it was a bit cold and windy to sit outside next to the pool which is where it is served. In summer I'm sure that would be lovely. Thank goodness for the gentleman who carried our bags up 3 flights of stone stairs and back again when we left as this was a hard climb. All in all a nice stay and so long as you are fairly fit and can climb the steps I( would recommend it. Location as fine we could walk into Santorini with no problems.

The staff was wonderful from start to finish - picking us up from the airport, serving us breakfast, cleaning our room, and helping us book expeditions. The location is perfect, beautiful views of both the caldera and santorini white buildings and only a 10-15 min walk from Fira to catch the bus. The beds were so comfy, and everything was so neat and clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and would highly recommend this location.
