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.).

This stay was better than I had anticipated! Our room was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Having two pool options was also very nice. A special mention to Maria from the front desk who was very professional, helpful and friendly. She truely made our experience even better. She even helped us book a day cruise, Port transfers, and ATV rental. The location of the suites was close to the town centre approximately 10min walk. And overall I would highly recommend San Marino Suites, and thank them for a lovely stay.

United KingdomI personally thought the prices in the restaurant were slightly higher than local average however you get what you pay for.
Thoroughly enjoyed the private pool and Katsaboo was perfect. Really friendly staff who create a warm and welcoming environment. Good location, only 10 minutes from the centre and 10 minutes to the airport via car/taxi.

United KingdomWe think that the room should have a small table and chairs inside as there is nowhere to sit together and have a drink (tea, coffee, alcohol). Despite having the loungers outside, there was nowhere to sit at a table together... unless... you go and sit in the restaurant directly oppositeand this is the biggest gripe. The restaurant/bar is situated outside our room, and on Friday night, it played music until 1am! It was a beautiful bar/restaurant but it is owned by a separate company and they charge for the sun loungers in the pool in frot of the restaurant (not the top pool lougers) So despite being lovely you felt unable to use this area during our stay... even sitting on our terrace, we felt that it was expected that we buy from their bar. We ate there once. It was pretty expensive. We asked if the milkshake had ice cream in it. We were told it did when it didn't. We got served a pretty poor milkshake and were charged €9 !!! I ordered a club sandwich which looked the part but didn't taste great. Just our experience, but we didn't go back. We loved the hotel, but the location around this pool area, despite having great views, was not very private nor appropriate for us. We didn't like the notices saying we couldn't eater drink our own food at either of the pool areas either.
We loved the location and the staff. Especially Maria on reception who was excellent. Maria was extremely helpful and informative throughout our stay. The location was away from the busy Fira Centre but only a short walk away. The quality of the room' and grounds was excellent. The rooms were clean and towels were changed when we wanted with plenty of toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great and provided good hot water. The loungers outside on the balcony were good also. We got good sunshine around the top pool and relaxed for one the days there for several hours.

AustraliaI didn't like that you had to buy €25 (per person) worth of food or drink at the pool beside Katsaboo. I feel for hotel guests this should definitely have been discounted. Perhaps for people just going to the restaurant this price if fair
I liked the hotel and the room we stayed in which had a jacuzzi in it. The place was very clean and well maintained.

First and foremost the staff at the property, Marina and Maria in particular were exceptional. Both went above and beyond for me and my daughter and no request was an issue. The property itself is beautiful, the rooms are spotlessly clean, amenities are outstanding and in both rooms (Aqua Marine Villa and Cave pool suite) there was everything you needed including kettle, hairdryer, iron etc. The accommodation really made our trip to Santorini it exceeded our expectations and I will 100% return.

A hotel where you can watch the sunrise, located in the town of Fira, a short distance from the center, with parking. There is a Greek restaurant at the back of the hotel with good seafood meals, but a little pricey. The family was more than impressed with the hotel.

GreeceNot a negative comment, but it would be great to offer breakfast buffet, I would be willing to pay extra in the room’s fee to have it. Of course it offers a la cart breakfast, but in this case I prefer to have breakfast outside the hotel.
Amazing boutique hotel, very close to Fira, yet away from the noise of the center. It’s my second stay in the hotel, and i found it even better than the first some years ago. The stuff is very polite and eager to help. The price is very affordable, at least off season. Definitely recommend it!

We struggled to decide on a hotel in santorini as there was so much choice. We found the San marino suites and decided it was the right choice for us. After having a fall at the airport the hotel transfer took us to the emergency room and left a number to call him back to pick us up. We arrived at the hotel very late and were so impressed at the room being beautifully decorated and very spacious. The next morning we explored the area around our room located next to katsabo (we were worried about noise but could not hear it in our bedroom) the area was lovely and clean with a very calming vibe. We went to reception and were greeted by an amazing friendly staff member who was so concerned about my health, the check in process was simple and we were offered advice on extras the hotel offered including a jeep tour and a boat trip, we opted to book both. The jeep trip was taken by George who was so friendly and informative about the history of the island. It was so nice to see his passion for santorini and he was telling us facts but making it more personal by including anecdotes from his own family. If you only do one thing book this! It is worth every penny and you get to see amazing places. The boat trip was from santorini star and wr opted for the sunset trip. This was amazing and the Staff on board were again so knowledge and explained stories and history from various points along the route. It also includes hotel pick up and drop off which is very handy. The hotel is about 6 minute walk from fira centre (to get there is uphill) but it has lovely views along the way. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone from the beautiful rooms to the amazing staff! I honestly can't thank you enough for our stay. Both women on reception and the 2 drivers we had (sorry I'm so bad at names) were amazing and constantly checked I was ok, we truly felt sad to leave.
