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.).

AustraliaNothing - everything was great.
The location is beautiful with views over the caldera and a short walk downstairs to the hotel.The services provided were first class with the hosts, making sure we had everything we needed. A very full breakfast was provided each morning. The staff were exceptional, especially the young man Notos, who carried our bags up and down the stairs, going above and beyond imfor us. The hosts also arranged for our tour of the island, as well as all our transfers from the port and to the airport. Nothing was too difficult for them. The pool area was very inviting after a day sightseeing where we could have a drink and chat with other visitors staying in the hotel. We had a great time.

United KingdomUnfortunately when we arrived we felt a bit hassled. We were asked if we could cancel our booking.com and get a better rate with them paying directly and to buy a transfer. It was a shame as the rest of the stay the staff were all friendly. The poor man who brings breakfast on a tray looks exhausted- loads of steps and so hot and seems to work alone for all the rooms( you can have it delivered to your balcony) so he appears grumpy but I think he’s completely over stressed. We didn’t have enough towels but they happily gave us more.
The most fabulous view of Santorini Caldera. Amazing at sunset- you can get classic photos here without any crowds. We enjoyed lying by the pool looking out right over the sea on the sun loungers (and watching a wedding just below!) The pool was perfect for cooling swims and not busy when we were there. It felt quiet but with quick access to the cliff top path and restaurants/ shops ( despite the steep steps!!) It’s a great base to explore from. We took the public bus (€2 a journey) from the sharp bend down the main road behind the ‘drop’ off square by the church to Oia but go early morning to avoid the crowds at Oia. ( The bus stop opposite the church with no timetable is not in use)The bus back takes you to Fira - 20 mins scenic walk back.

United KingdomNothing to mention as of now. The room booked was supposed to have a view, however, the one provided was opening to the swimming pool and hence the view was partially blocked. Thus we had to switch rooms which was a little smaller than the originally booked room - but that was not causing any problem. At the price the breakfast could be better but that does not mean it was bad.
The keys were available at the reception as we had reached during the afternoon time. The room was not ready initially, but were able to checkin soon enough. The staff were friendly and always accommodating to customer's requests.

CanadaThe stairs are a lot, however if you want the amazing views of Santorini, all the accommodations require climbing. They have staff to help with your bags. Breakfast was fine. They try their other best to give you a variety of foods to suit everyone’s tastes.
The location is phenomenal with wonderful views of the caldera. Close enough to walk to Firo but far enough away that it doesn’t seem quite as busy. The pool is a very welcome refreshment from the summer heat.

United StatesThere are a lot of stairs that are so so hot in the afternoon sun. But the staff helped with our bags and really it’s the price you must pay to be in that location.
Amazing location and incredibly beautiful views. The pool was so wonderfully refreshing on such hot days and the sunsets from our room and patio were as picturesque as you could wish for.

United StatesThe location was perfect. The views from the balcony and pool were fantastic and that is what you’re paying for here. The location was just far enough away from busy Fira, but close enough to walk to town at night. Right off the main square of Firostefani with cute restaurants and charming atmosphere. Breakfast was good and served poolside or on balcony and was brought out in 2 minutes. The rooms are basic but you’re paying for the location and the views. We walked around the area and didn’t see a place with better views. Lots of stairs to get to the property but not more than the other places in the area. They also have a porter that will carry all your luggage up and down the stairs.

FranceToo much of light in the night, and everywhere and in the room and outside is the unpleasant cold light, the warm light or just no light at all would be much better. For now this light breaks oll the charme of the hotel in the evening. The breakfast is quite basic, but it is included and this is Santorini.
A very pleasant stay, the swimming pool with a nice view is a real advantage. The staff is very kind, helped us with laggage and organised the transfers at a fare price. The rooms are basic, but clean, the terrace is with a good view too. My daughter really loved this hotel!

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!
