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 KingdomPlunge pools in room small but the main pool more than makes up for it with a nice atmosphere and plenty of beds. The ledge to get in the shower is a bit wide and the floor can be a bit slippy once showered.
Staff were excellent. Reception team were so welcoming and the breakfast team were also amazing. It seems like a small group of staff so nice to see the same faces every day. The rooms are so nicely decorated and it is special touch to get turn down service at night as well as room cleaned during the day. They have options of spa treatments that we took advantage of and the team were really nice and professional as well as a fine dining restaurant in the courtyard in the evening who were very accommodating of our requirements when we ate there. Everything is very well kept and clean.

AustraliaI couldn’t honestly make it better
This hotel is truly exceptional. We have stayed all over the world and this would easily make it into the top 3. One of the major factors that make this an exceptional hotel is the staff and the attention to detail throughout the hotel, especially the amazing breakfast. You are greeted with such warmth and truly genuine care. One staff member in particular Athanasia who worked on reception was a pure joy to deal with and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. This hotel is relatively new but the management have excelled in their staffing choices and I am convinced this will be one of the most sought after hotels in Santorini.

United Kingdomour shower flooded the bathroom every time we used it and it sometimes flowed under the door and in to the bedroom. Had to used up every towel we had to dry it every time and the bathroom always smelt damp.
good location, pool is amazing although slightly ruined by the other people who were there being loud and noisey all the time and taking lots of face time calls out loud. The staff were great and breakfast was also amazing every day!

United StatesNo heat in the rooms, outside pools aren’t heated hot tubs, windows from bathrooms directly face the public street so there’s a lot of foot traffic and street noise, location is hard to find with car rental. We also dined at the hotel restaurant Selene, which was very salty and expensive for what it was (restaurant separate operation from the hotel that the hotel later acquired, IIRC). We’ve dined at Michelin restaurants all over the world and Europe especially, and this wasn’t quite Ip to par. The restaurant staff seemed a little inexperienced for an alleged Michelin star restaurant - they only cleared breadcrumbs once at the very end of the meal and we waited 20 minutes for water and bread, both of which we had to request. Big hullabaloo about the sourdough bread presentation (which was delicious) but we sat down at 8pm and only finished the sourdough bread presentation after 9:30pm.
Beautiful property in Santorini - I daresay the only true five-star hotel in the area. Beautiful grounds, lovely staff, great location a few minutes’ walk into town. We had an early flight out and got breakfast bags to go, which was nice.

NetherlandsThe team are what makes this place, it’s one thing to build a beautiful property in a good location. It’s another to build a great team that look after all their guests. That flows through from concierge, to breakfast / pool team, cleaning and the car service Katikies offers all over Santorini. We’ve been lucky to stay in some of the top hotels around the world and this is one of the best we’ve been to. If you’re comparing Katikies to other options, just book Katikies.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful accommodations. Conveniently located within walking distance of shopping and restaurants, yet still quiet enough to get a good nights sleep.

ArgentinaFor people with mobility issues please note that there are huge stairs all over the hotel. From going to the rooms, breakfast, pool and reaching the lobby. I do not recommend to take such a risk. Restricted time of the pool
I recently had the pleasure of staying at katikies garden in Fira, Santorini, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. From the convenient location to the breathtaking views, there were many positive aspects that made our stay memorable. However, a few minor issues prevented it from being a perfect stay. The location of the hotel in Fira is undoubtedly a major plus. It offers great convenience, allowing easy access to nearby attractions, shops, and restaurants. Exploring the beautiful island was a breeze, thanks to the hotel's central location. Our room, a honeymoon suite with a jet tub, was absolutely amazing. It was spacious, well-appointed, and provided a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation. We particularly enjoyed the private garden area, which offered stunning views and allowed us to unwind in a peaceful environment. One aspect that truly stood out was the fantastic breakfast. The wide variety of options and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. The hotel's attention to detail and commitment to providing a delightful culinary experience made each morning a delightful start to the day. While the pool offered a picturesque view of the sea, there were some shortcomings that need to be addressed. The limited number of lounges and tables available were clearly insufficient for the size of the hotel. On a couple of occasions, we witnessed guests arriving at the pool but leaving due to the lack of available seating. Increasing the number of lounges and tables would significantly enhance the overall pool experience. Additionally, the restricted time schedule for the pool was a disappointment. Opening at 11 am and closing at 6 pm seemed restrictive, especially considering the longer daylight hours in Greece. It would be wonderful if the hotel could extend the pool hours, allowing guests to enjoy the poolside ambiance and take advantage of the stunning sunset views, as we were able to do in Mykonos.

United StatesThe breakfast took way too long. The hotel wants everything to be an experience, and we didn’t often have time to spend 90 minutes eating breakfast. Additionally, when I asked for a towel at the pool, the pool attendant said she would bring it to me, despite the fact that she was rolling one in front of me. I know the service is exceptional, but it sometimes it’s a little too much.
The pool was amazing, and the rooms were extremely spacious. The staff was very friendly. The food was also exceptional, and we can’t say enough positive things about the sommelier!
