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.).

United KingdomThe shower was not very powerful.
The property was clean and spacious. The sea view was absolutely amazing! The staff were excellent, friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was superb and varied - everyday there was something different. Breakfast was laid out each morning at our chosen time on our balcony table. It was delicious and filling and a very relaxing way to start each day.

PolandThis is not a rant and it is not something that I did not like, but just want to make a point to some couples, for which this could be an issue. This is a beautiful cave-style appartment and bathroom is one floor down without door. You can still hide there and it's OK but if you need really full privacy - be prepared ;). You can also make a deal with your other one who goes out to the balcony when you need to do your business :) Still we loved every hour spent in this place!
Location is absolutely marvellous, right in the middle of Oia downtown perfectly overlooking beautiful buildings on the slope and the sunset. Our Deluxe Appartment gave us a lot of privasy -> balcony was hidden under the roof and jacuzzi also a little bit at the back - not exposed to thousands of tourists passing by all the time. We got welcome wine, basket of fruit - all was really great. Hosts were very communicative, responding to all my questions. inquiries. I strongly recommend to book their transfer from the airport - you will be greated there, driven close to location and then walked straight to your door with someone carrying your luggage - top notch. Breakfasts delivered to the balcony every morning are very good.

It was a lovely room in a lovely location.

United StatesIt is a little crowded around sunset time but that’s to be expected in Oia! Location is great so that’s the trade off.
We loved this hotel! So adorable, clean and cozy and the views are perfect! Watching the sunset from the comfort of our room was a highlight of our honeymoon. Also the breakfast was unbelievable!

AustraliaMaybe the toilet seat could be upgraded.
The particular Kastro Oia house we stayed at had a wonderful view of the Caldera and was private. The access was by way of many steps but we were met at the place where the taxi dropped us by two staff who carried our bags all the way down to our cave like apartment and on our departure did the same. The breakfast was brought every morning at the time we requested and it was fantastic with fresh coffee.. Greek and American coffee, eggs ,pastries, fresh bread, fresh fruit.. all very delicious and freshly baked. We could enjoy the glorious sunset from our terrace balcony with direct views while enjoying a glass of wine. The inside of the house was beautifully furnished with painted wall frescoes and was very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay .

Australiawe had a few issues getting to oia and the hotel said there was no public transport there when there was. when our room was serviced they didn't clean the used cups or top up the body wash which i thought was strange when you pay 370euros a night for a place. i don't think the jaccuzi worked properly as the jets stopped after 1 min and you had to keep pressing the button. it didn't heat up either which is a shame if you want to use it at night. checkout was at 10am and at 9.53 the cleaner came and kicked us out, moving our bags outside. this left a bad taste to our stay as we were just savoring the last few mins of the great view, to then being unceremoniously kicked out
the hotel was the perfect place to watch the sunset from the balcony. the breakfast provided was great with a lot of options. the cave house is very unique and perfect for a romantic getaway. the cats that live there are very very cute!

AustraliaFirst of all the view is absolutely breathtaking. Perfect for a sunset view. The streets around us were so crowded trying to get a view of the sunset, mean while we were in the comfort of our own private terrace. The rooms were clean and had plenty of space. Breakfast was brought to us each morning to eat on our terrace and was wonderful. Staff were very helpful, they assisted us with booking transfers back to the port and also carried our baggage as the streets are steep and narrow.

NetherlandsThe cave shaped room was with the stunning caldera view, you can watch the famous Santorini sunset right from your private terrace without having the trouble to find a spot during that time. Breakfast was awesome too, everything was nice about the hotel. Hotel staffs carry your luggage and guide you from the car drop-off point to the hotel as you need to walk 5-10 mins (with around 25-30 steep and narrow stairs because of the hill) to reach the hotel.

United KingdomThe property was clean and well maintained. The air condition was perfectly fine with the remote control available for controls. The jacuzzi was a great addition to the hotel. Breakfast always provided perfectly on the time suited to us. Room service available whenever requested. The view outside was incredible due to location, overlooking the famous Oia sunset view. Restaurants and shops just a very short walk away from the hotel. Bathroom and toilet was very clean and well kept. Smart TV available to watch. Espresso machine included a basket of coffee pods. Iron and ironing board included in the hotel. Towels and bath robes included. Laundry service available. The hotel itself was cosy and offered a very private entrance into the property. Wifi available. The host and the staff members were extremely friendly and professional. Whenever we needed anything, the host would provide in haste and in enthusiasm. At the end of our stay, the host treated us to a full course meal from a very expensive restaurant nearby, all delivered to our room and on the house!! Definitely worth every cent and would definitely return again!
