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.).

CanadaOnly issue we had is the upstairs shower didn’t drain well and small amounts of flooding happened on the bathroom floor… nothing that a towel or two couldn’t fix.
Beautiful property. Wonderful sunset views. In a nice area, a bit of a walk into town but very doable. Property owners are very welcoming and helpful. They left snacks in the room which were a lovely surprise. The pool was kept very clean and was great to have during the heat of our Aug visit!

United KingdomA microwave could be useful. Rest everything was wonderful.
Francesco was an excellent host accommodating all our requests from taxi booking to car booking. The villa is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The heated pool is the best feature. Location wise it is a bit far from the main caldera so you would need a car or a 20 min walk every time. But all in all it was luxury in true sense.

AustraliaThe hosts Francesco and Alessandro, outstanding. Nothing was too much of trouble. Even offered us a lift into town (it's uphill to the town). The villa was spotless, comfortable and roomy. The heated pool perfect . Sunset uninterrupted and away from the crowds! The walk down to Amundi is really nice.

United KingdomHighly recommended! Our hosts Alex and Francesco were extremely helpful and welcoming, we could not have asked for better hosts; from arranging airport transfers to advising on and booking local activities for us, and even taking us to the local doctor when our 4 year old was poorly mid-way through the holiday (for this we will be forever grateful), no request was too small. The accommodation was stunning, and only a short walk away from the main town. One of our favourite moments was sharing a cold drink as the sun went down over views of the neighbouring sea. Perfection.

United KingdomNothing really. Steep walk but Oia is hilly! It’s downhill on the way back so all fine! We traveled with 2 teenagers. They had the downstairs 2 sleeping areas and bathroom and we had the upstairs kitchen and bathroom with double bed in that space. Not what we expected but it worked well for us as island hopping and only in Oia for 2 nights.
Incredibly clean and peaceful, away from busy Oia but walkable. Very cute villa and very generous touches like fruit, milk, bread and so many toiletries. Also, the brothers were so helpful and took pride in their properties.

I loved the villa. It was clean & comfortable especially the bed. The small private pool was amazing. But the best thing were the hosts, nothing was too much trouble, from advice on where to visit, booking tables at amazing restaurants & even offering lifts into town. Complimentary water & Nespresso coffee capsules, clean towels whenever required, and everything cleaned daily! Can’t wait to visit again

AustraliaNothing not to like, wish we could have stayed longer.
Our stay at Katharos Villas was amazing. It was perfect for our family of 4 in a great location. 5 minutes walk to fresh seafood restaurants in Ammoudi Bay and 10 minutes walk to town. The villas themselves are comfortable and spacious and very well maintained. The staff, especially Francesco, are so accommodating. You can cool off in the pool or sit on your patio and watch the sunset. We will most certainly be back!

United StatesSantorini was the last leg of our 2 week European vacation. We absolutely loved this stay. The pool villa was quite spacious with all the amenities you can think of. Easy walkable access to the villa, no need to climb any stairs. Plenty of parking spots too. The splash pool was not too small like some of the others in the caldera. My kids loved spending time in the pool. The best part of the stay were the hosts - the Katharos brothers were there to help and assist us with anything we needed. It was like staying with a local greek family who knew the place and were there to guide us. Whether it be ordering breakfast, dinner, picking up anything from the store for us, renting car, booking tour, dropping us to Oia main tourist square! The location of the villas is in Oia, but 15-20 min uphill walk to the town center. I would recommend renting a car for easy to and fro from the town center or the hosts are also willing to provide drop-offs. Please do check with them. Overall an awesome stay that we will remember and cherish for a long time!

We were so amazed by the kindness and helpfulness of the managers! This was our last stop on our honeymoon trip and we are so happy we decided to stay at the villas. Seriously awesome! This was one place during our vacation where we really felt taken care of and celebrated in a meaningful way. The managers were constantly checking in on us and offering us special assistance that went above and beyond!

FinlandMost of the things were very positive. Only the sea view was on the side of the villa and was not visible from inside of the villa. In October the weather was cool, parlty clowdy and windy. There were no breakfast served, but it was possible to order a breakfast. However ordered breakfast was very small and price/quality ratio was not positive (20 €/pp), so unfortunatley I can not recommend it.
Location is excellent: peaceful and quiet, but only 10-15 min walk away from busy Oia centre. Francesco and Alessandro, who are part of the owner family, really did their best to be welcoming and helpul including very nice welcome basket with some food and water. The small private pool was warm so it is possible to swim there both during the day and in the evening. It was also plesant to eat breakfast partly in shade on the terrasse in front of the villa. Cleaning lady was very nice and positive always smiling. In October was possible to sea the sunset from the sun beds close to the pool. I can warmly recommend Katharos villas and if we come back to Santorini I would like to stay there again.

It was our anniversary trip, which had a fantastic start from the beginning thanks to the two brothers at the villa. They prepared a surprise welcome for us to celebrate our anniversary upon arrival. They were so kind and helpful throughout our stay whenever we had questions about tours and restaurants, etc. The private pool was great with a fantastic sunset view everyday, and the location is also excellent. Plus, their free e-scooter was very useful in traveling around Oia. I will definitely stay in the villa when I visit Santorini again.

MexicoAlessandro and Francesco are the two most charming hosts out there. They did such a fantastic job with Katharos Villas. Attention to details in every corner of the house is mind blowing. We loved the heated pool! The sunset view. The bed and pillows very comfortables. And the list will go on and on, but I rather invite you to book and experience it for yourself. Won’t regret it! Thank you so much for everything.
