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 StatesWish the property had an additional half bathroom so a family of 4 didnt have to compete for the single bathroom, especially given that the Jacuzzi was also in the bathroom. Wish the Jacuzzi was outdoor as it was in many adjacent properties, so we could enjoy the views. With the restrictions on not flushing the used toilet paper (need to put the used toilet tissue in a garbage can), I wish there was daily trash pickup.
Elizabeth is an amazing host. She went over the details of the property, the nearby attractions, dinner & activity recommendations as well as help secure reservations. She was very communicative and easily accessible via phone. When we needed additional sheets & towels, she quickly arranged to have them delivered. She made our first visit to Santorini a memorable visit. The location of the facility is in Oia. The Caldera views from the balcony was amazing or as my traveling party coined it a 'million dollar view'. Though in touristy Oia, the location felt mostly secluded and relaxing, but within 2 min from the Oia touristic part. Breakfast was included which I was not aware of and hence a pleasant surprise and we made the most of it by having breakfast on balcony with the full 180 degree panoramic view of the caldera and Mediterranean sea (for which restaurants in Oia were charging premium prices)

IndiaYou will need a porter to reach the property, there are many stairs. The porter service wish was included in hotel price. Wish the kitchen had more complimentary things, like some basic cooking things like salt, pepper, oil etc The vessels to cook are really old and wish were in better condition

New ZealandThere was a weird smell that resembled fishy cat poop but it did fade away (or maybe our noses just got used to it) but there were a lot of cats in Greece in general so it can't be helped. The stairs was also a nightmare as it was on the edge of the Santorini cliffs so it was very difficult for the family of 4 with lots of big, heavy luggages. We knew what we're signing up for in sacrifice for the iconic views but Elizabeth and her team made it a lot easier for us as they helped to and back the property and we're so thankful.
Santorini has always been top on my list to visit and when my family went to Europe in December 2023 we wanted to splurge a little for the views, relaxation and comfort. We visited during the off season and it was nice to have no crowds and it really felt like we had the cave house and island to ourselves. Elizabeth, her husband and the rest of the team were very hospitable and we had one of the best (if not, the best) customer service throughout our entire trip and we visited a lot of places and stayed in a lot of accommodation properties. The uniqueness of the cave house was also a great experience and had the best views in the morning and the evening. We only stayed for 2 nights so we didn't manage to do a lot but Elizabeth was so nice and had great recommendations that I wish we had more time to explore. I can really say she cared about her guests and wanted us to have the best time in Santorini. Thank you so much!

CanadaOur host, Elizabeth was fantastic. I would suggest using her to arrange transports, as she was waiting for us at the ferry and was able to answer all of our questions directly and give us the lay of the land. We also had Elizabeth arrange a private boat charter that exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our Santorini visit. The house had everything we needed, and everyone was happy with the accomodations.

United KingdomIt’s a bit pricey compared to the facility and amenities at villa. But once you take prime location into account, it worth paying.
Elizabeth was so kind to give us recommendations we need during the stay. The villa is at the prime location in Oia. Although we cannot see sunset from villa, we noticed it is better. Because the sunset area is so crowded and windy, whereas the villa is so quiet and we can immerse ourselves into Santorini.

United Stateslittle water leaking from house outside, so when we walked from outside to inside ended up tracking wet feet and some dirt into the apartment. could use a little more room inside each of the bedrooms, but this is expected with the tight quarters in the cave houses.
great location. very nice balcony, mostly covered from sun overlooking the caldera. Gorgeous views and in the center of Oia. Perfect place to be in the middle of the action but at the same time avoiding the tourist crowds.

United StatesThe only thing we can say is the walk to the entrance is down a concrete path by other cave houses, and if you have mobility problems it could be an issue. This was not an issue for us, or wouldn't be for most people. Oia is not a town you want to stay in if you have mobility issues.
The help that the host, Elizabeth, gave us by picking us up from the airport and taking us to the ferry port made the stay so much easier. The view is amazing with a great patio area. Close to restaurants and shopping. Overall, a wonderful stay.
