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.).

GermanyNothing to add here except a recommendation for the owner: You could set up more loungers instead of/in addition to the reclining bags (the ones with the fixed backrests) around the new complex so that guests have more possibilities to enjoy the sun while lying down straight. But that's a small detail which didn't influence our impressions and rating.
What to say...it was awesome! Beginning with the personal, the 3 guys were awesome. Chatty, super friendly, informative and always looking for our best comfort. We got recommandations for sightseeing (spot on), restaurants (closeby recommendation: The Good Heart) and they ordered vehicles for us (the whole renting process was very easy). The room was the cherry on the cake. Due to a problem with the air condition in the room we booked we could choose another room. We don't know if it was a room upgrade (felt like that) but it was free of additional charges. Thank you for this again! The view was a dream (waking up with this view was amazing), the neighborhood was quiet, pools with the right temperature and Caldera view in front and heated pool behind (no view but very nice style) the house. The rooms got cleaned every day with daily exchange of towels. The spacy bed was awesome. The interior was modern yet very comfy. The room was in a new complex 150m away from the main complex. We had to walk to the reception, main pool (very enjoyable with Caldera view and poolbar) and breakfast which we enjoyed thanks to the amazing view from the hill where this hotel is located. The breakfast was rich, big and tasty and again the view was amazing. We had almost the same everyday but additional wishes were always fullfilled. It takes some effort to get to the hotel when you come by bus/foot, especially when hot and sunny, as you walk up the hill through the village (it feels like a labyrinth :D). But from what we saw even this we enjoyed as the village of Akrotiri is very beautiful. The hotel is at a very nice and quiet spot away from touristic trouble and with the close distances on Santorini we had no problem to discover the whole island from here (closeby recommendation: the sunset at the lighthouse west of Akrotiri is also stunning and easy to reach in 15-20 minutes with a quad). All in all we can absolutely recommend the Kalestesia Suites.

CanadaThe location is a ways outside of the city so some people may prefer to be in town. You can always rent a car or ATV to get around.
We were greeted by the manager who explained everything about the hotel and what activities were available on the island. He also gave us a free upgrade to a beautiful loft room with a personal hot tub and two balconies. The vistas were beautiful from everywhere on the property. They also have a beautiful pool with a restaurant and bar. Great value for the money.

United StatesI can’t think of anything I didn’t enjoy. I do recommend renting a car for your stay so that you are able to go explore the island, but I guarantee you will be happy to return to the calm of Akrotiri and the comfort of Kalestesia Suites.
The staff at this property truly made me feel at home from even before I arrived until after I left. As a solo traveler who was there working remotely it was a wonderful experience. From their thorough check in where they provided recommendations for local restaurants to their responsiveness to my requests, they were gracious hosts. I stayed for a week so I was able to try several of the recommendations and they exceeded expectations. The property is set at one of the highest points on the southern part of the island. The views from my room were spectacular, it was like looking at a beautiful painting, but it was real! It has amazing views of the sunrise and sunset. My room was in their new section where I enjoyed a private Jacuzzi, but I also went up to the main pool where I was able to meet other guests and socialize. It was the best of both worlds! The room itself was fresh, modern, and pristine. The breakfast was delicious. I can’t say enough good things. I had friends staying at other hotels around the island, so I was able to compare, and we all agreed that this was clearly the best.

Small boutique family run hotel. Staff were wonderful. Views were breathtaking, same views and sun sets at Oia but a fifth of the price. Hotel was spotless and very well maintained. Staff were very friendly and always very happy to help. Short walk down to small town with a good selection of restaurants. We got to stay in both the new and old Kalestesia, both incredible.

Super views from our room as well as the property - can see Caldera, volcano Island, Fira, Oia - captured in 1 frame. Room was big with comfortable beds and private jacuzzi. Breakfast was simple but quite filling with good vegetarian options, served by pleasant staff and in a place with beautiful views of the other side of the island. Staff were amazing and Mr. Teo was really helpful from the time we checked in till we checked out and also gave us some great travel tips.

United StatesIf this is your first time in Santorini, you might need to consider the hotel private transportation it’s the only great way to make your trip enjoyable without having to get in shared rides with multiple passengers which can be very stressful and time consuming.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Kalestesia suites. it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm ,genuine and friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of exceptional. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast . The variety and quality of the food were exceptional. Staff was extremely kind and attentive to our needs.breakfast area has a great view which was definitely a plus. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Whether it was from the room or the hotel's dining area. This hotel is so lucky to have Teo , he is amazing and he went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional . From the moment we entered the hotel and until we checked out he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire stay . Teo was not only giving recommendations of activities and places to visits but also facilitating transportation and available all day to help us with any questions or needs .His genuine care is what made our stay outstanding and far beyond any other experiences we had in other hotels because we were treated like family . Overall the genuine care from Teo and all the staff that we interacted with really stood out and we felt like we were treated like family .If you want to have an amazing experience in Santorini then this is the right hotel for you .

Located at the highest point of Akrotiri, the hotel offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Caldera. The studios are all oriented towards that view, so you can enjoy a drink on your terrace while admiring the magnificent cliffs of Santorini from the comfort of your own hot tub. Everything was great - the breakfast, the pool, the rooms, but what makes a real difference was the staff - so friendly and helpful. Teo was exceptional, providing us with useful information and tips where to go and what to see on the island, managing reservations for restaurants and what not. I strongly recommend hiring a car or ATV and exploring less tourist locations while immersing in that magical atmosphere the island has to offer.
