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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesLoved everything!
The location of this impeccably kept cave house is incredible. We slept to the sound of the waves both nights and thoroughly enjoyed swimming in this crystal clear water. It was a pleasure to eat at the family run tavern next door!

SlovakiaThat we had to leave so soon and could not take Aftodita with us (though she was following us on the beach when we left).
Situated right on the beach in Messa Pigadia this place is truly a rare gem. To get there you certainly need a car (the road down to the beach is full of stones so consider the car you hire or take it really slow - more like offroad). Parking is around the taverna (wherever you find a place, during the day it can get crowded). The taverna is a very nice place, the food is amazing and the stuff friendly (and is 2 mins walk from your terrace). There is also a beach bar up the road (few mins). In Akrotiri (10 mins drive) you find a big supermarket + some smaller. The best is Arvanitis - 2 levels, huge selection, fair prices. Plenty of restaurants around if you are ok to drive - if not use the taverna. The cave itself is gorgeous, clean and spacious... right on the beach with a big private terrace (sun beds, table, outdoor shower). It has a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, oven, stove), full bath, a big spacious room in the back where is a huge double bed and a frontside living room with a sofa. George greet us on place, showed us around and provided all instructions, hints and tips we could want. He is very kind and we kept in touch throughout the stay. We were welcomed with a full fridge, fruits, wine and home backed pie and cake (that was food for more than a week for us 2). For the cat lovers - the place comes with a lovely cat included. Afrodita is the real master of the place, she stays in the terrace and is very friendly, sweet but snappy at times (so make sure you bring your offerings - check the mentioned supermarket above for the square small tins cat pate). We had a lovely time and enjoyed each moment. During the day it can become crowded on the beach (people and too many boats) but nothing compared with the touristic areas of the island. The evenings/nights though are so quiet and peaceful.

PortugalEverything was remarkable.
We were in Santorini for one week. Before we came to Serenity Blue we tried three other places all over the island. This was by far the one that most surprised us and that was more in tune with what we were looking for. Giorgos and Flora are the best hosts ever, very friendly available and most of all most caring as they gave us a lot of suggestions to explore. This little piece of paradise is worth it more than anything else. You sleep with the soothing sounds of the ocean and you wake up for a replenished fridge that Flora and Giorgos provide. Absolutely incredible.

FinlandSerenity Blue was superb. Kept tip-top clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped cave with all the amenities. The bay was perfect for swimming and relaxing in peaceful setting. Never have we had such a warm welcome and hospitability that we got from George and Flora. A fridge full of goodies and Greek self-baked pastries was such a wonderful surprise. Communication was super easy and we got some really nice tips for what to do and where to go from George. A warm recommendations from every one of us! We would definitely visit this paradise again! Visit also next door in the family owned local tavern with delicious food and good service. Loved Afrodite, the cat who lived outdoors, cutest thing ever!

NetherlandsThe only issue, which the owners cannot do anything about it, is that many toerists walk by on the beach during the day. Some are even so indecent that they just walk on your terrace and seem to think it’s normal. Fortunately, we managed to get rid of them quickly.
What a great time we had at the Serenity Blue cave house. Beautiful cave house, furnished with great care! It was really a wonderful experience! Lovely also to hear the sea all day, very relaxing. Furthermore, the owners, George and Flora, are very nice and attentive people. They want to make you feel very comfortable. Upon arrival, for instance, the entitire fridge was already full of food and drinks and fresh delicacies were waiting for us.

United KingdomSome times there were a lot of party catermerans in the bay which could be a bit loud, but not that intrusive...
Amazing location, superb hosts, fridge full of goodies, local taverna and winery... Can't fault this cave house - had an amazing 7 night stay, swimming in the sheltered bay, trying local food and the Vinsanto!

United KingdomThat we had to leave!!
George and Flora are amazing Hosts. Their attention to detail and helpfulness was awesome. This is not just a business for them, they genuinely want you to have a fantastic time and enjoy their beautiful Cavehouse. The Fridge was plentiful which we hadn't expected and Flora had made a delicious sweet Greek Pastry dish. We loved just spending time on the Terrace and soaking in the view and at night listening to the lapping of waves was just beautiful. We had a car which definitely makes life easier getting down to the cave which was via a fairly narrow road mostly of rubble but it added to the adventure. There is a lovely Taverna a few steps away but closes in Winter. We had lunch at a Greek Restaurant 5 mins drive away Kali Kardia (Good Heart) which was lovely. I would imagine during Summer months the beach would be busier but was fairly quiet during our time with the odd person passing by so it may not be the most private at times but we quite enjoyed that, being able to observe visitors to the beach from our lovely Terrace made us feel quite special! And once the visitors have left you can enjoy the place completely to yourself; it really is just total peace. From start to end it was a truly lovely experience. Thank you George and Flora....OH and to the lovely cat Aphrodite 🐈 who we had fun with and was super friendly.😊
