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.).

The rooms were very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Outside place were kept tidy and clean too

United KingdomWould have been a 10 but disappointed that we were charged 30 euros for a taxi transfer to the port which we thought was a private transfer at that price. However transpired that the transfer was by minibus we two other couples so driver got 90 euros for 20 minute trip! Felt ripped off.

United KingdomBreakfast offer and layout. It was quite poor in choice and presentation, some updates are needed as it’s not in line with other establishments on the island, on Naxos or Athens.
Short walk to the centre but far enough to be quiet at night time

AustraliaNothing really. A shower curtain could maybe make the bathroom less wet?
The room was large and comfortable with a nice balcony. The pool was a great comfort for our kids (pool guy was so nice!) and the included breakfast was great too. Easy walk to Fira town. They helped us rent a car and the car was brought directly to the hotel and we were able to return it to the port on departure which saved us money on a ride to the port.

United KingdomAs for the weaknesses of the Philipion facility are: Lack of a place where guests can talk freely after 8pm. The pool closes and there is no access even to tables and seats - no lobby.
We visited the hotel with a large group, on the occasion of a wedding. Kostas from the pool bar is an incredibly nice person. For a week, he was like our friend. You could see an incredible commitment to making guests feel comfortable. Willing to try to communicate despite the language barrier, always willing to help and smiling.

CanadaThis is the perfect place to stay. It is an 8-10 min walk into Fira which is bustling and VERY full of people. While most rush into Fira to find a place to eat with a sunset view you literally have that view right across from this hotel. My recommendation is to eat dinner before or after the sunset and watch the sunset from across the road at the hotel. It is stunning and no crowds, and no rooftops in the way. They easily arranged transport from the airport as well as to the port to catch our ferry. The staff was very very helpful and friendly. They will cater to you! If you arrive before checkin they will keep your bags aside and u can walk into town to explore. The pool area is kept very clean as well as the entirety of the hotel. There is always someone cleaning and they keep everything sparkling neat. They also offer a later checkout of 12pm noon (most other places are 11am). 100% recommend!

France10 mins walk to Fira, good location to enjoy the city while staying a bit out of the crowded centre. Convenient hotel parking. The staff is extremely conscious and provides excellent service and tips for things to see or help with local car rentals. Our familly room was spacious but with few natural light/windows.

GermanyLocation is very beautiful with Caldera view and about 10 minutes to Fira. You will need a car, scooter or Atv to explore the island. Room was clean and comfy. Luca at the reception is a really helpful and friendly guy. He is just great. Although Santorini is an overpriced and totally crowed place, we had a wonderful time. Whenever you want to stay in santorini book this hotel.
