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.).

AustraliaThe view from the property is absolutely stunning! Dimitris was very welcoming. The breakfasts were superb. The location is perfect as it is right in Oia but not down too many flights of stairs. I guess if I'm being picky, the decor is a little dated, but still very comfortable.

United StatesIt's a cave...it gets damp and there's not much ventilation so make sure you keep the door open whenever possible.
The location was perfect with your own private jacuzzi. Its not a luxury hotel but has everything you need and still a lot of amenities on a budget compared to others in the area. Walkable to the main part of Oia and the bus stop but still away from the loud crowds. The public bus on the island is an absolute mess but it does run...just often late. There is a drop-off point on the Fira to Oia route a few steps from the property and the main Oia bus terminal is only a ~10 min walk. No strangers walking by your hot tub or using your patio. Absolutely perfect view of the sunset from the hot tub. There was a lot of options for breakfast and it was served right on your patio. There's a full kitchen (fridge, hot plate, tea kettle, nespresso, toaster oven, dishes/pots/pans. No microwave.) if you want to cook. It has AC! Provided robes and slippers and toiletries. The host can help set up excursions, rentals, and taxis to the airport (~€45). The pool can be heated but wasn't heated the whole time if it was super hot outside which was nice. The host and staff were VERY nice and accommodating. Excellent hospitality.

If you want the best view to Oia, this is the spot. Absolutely outstanding view from the balcony with the private jacuzzi. Rooms are super clean with really cave time toilet and shower. You just have to experience it. Super comfy bed. And the cherry on the top is the breakfast served on your balcony the time that you want. Just amazing.

United StatesWe absolutely loved Rimida Villas and would absolutely stay here again. We were here for our honeymoon and stayed in villa 5 with the indoor hot tub and kitchenette. It was so quiet, peaceful, with amazing views of the caldera and sunset. It was a short walk (about ten minutes) to the shopping area in Oia, so it was far enough from the super touristy area where the cruise ship people get dropped off that it was quiet but close enough for everything to be convenient. The main bedroom area was large and very quiet while we were sleeping. The second room, with the shower, hot tub & kitchenette had great views of the caldera. The room we stayed in was at the end of the other rooms so felt even more private. Our taxi cab company called Rimida Villas both on arrival and departure and arranged meeting location with them, and one of the gentlemen at the villas carried our luggage back and forth out to the street. Dimitris made dinner recommendations and reservations for us to amazing restaurants that we loved and had recommendations on hand for day trips (we had already booked day trips though so didn’t use this part).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rimida Villas! Dimitri greeted us at check in and gave us lots of information about the area and some top tips. The location itself was perfect and close to walk into Oia. The apartment itself was perfect. The views of Oia and the sunset is absolutely stunning. These are worth every penny! We spent many nights enjoying the views on our balcony and then enjoying the pool in the afternoons. We also enjoyed breakfast served freshly to the balcony in the mornings. We would definitely come back in the future and loved our stay! Thank you Dimitri for all your help and for sorting our taxi to the airport on the last day. We will definitely be back!

A true gem nestled amidst the panoramic beauty of the caldera, this property offers a harmonious blend of traditional architecture and contemporary comfort. But what truly elevates the experience at Rimida Villas is the breathtaking view of the caldera. To say it is picturesque would be an understatement. There's something incredibly soul-soothing about witnessing the sun dip into the horizon, casting a golden hue over the caldera, and we were fortunate enough to have this spectacle right at our doorstep.
