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.).

AustraliaLove it all. Amazing.
Loved the whole experience. Being our third trip to Santorini where we never had stayed at a place on the island with the postcard view, we simply wanted to find a place that had the views. We didn't so much care about walking around visiting places on the island. Basically staying in and enjoying the room and views. Well this place doesn't disappoint. It's views and amenities are amazing. You don't need to leave if staying for a few days. Even cooked up our own Octopus and enjoyed this with wine on the balcony. Views are the best. Definitely one in the best places we have stayed in. Best tip I can give is take the transfer organised by Sophia Castle View to and from the ferry or airport who took or luggage to the venue (it not fun to do yourself given the steps etc) and clearly saved us from trying to find it. It's not cheap but not much is in Santorini in the summer.

AustraliaWe waited where instructed for a porter to meet us. After 1hr and multiple phone calls we decided to walk to the room ourselves, we then waited another half an hour to be greeted. I was very disappointed to arrive and realise we didn’t have the pool. Don’t be fooled when it advertises accomadation with a hot tub pool. This is the downstairs accomadation. The have a seperate room upstairs. Due to crowds it was hard to access the accommodation especially during sunset. Breakfast would be great benefit for the owners to consider including considering how much you pay for the room.
Perfect sunset spot but it is ridiculous busy in peak season! Cute little balcony to enjoy drinks or food. They allowed us to check in early which we were very greatful for. It’s a very basic but pretty room, comfortable bed! Expensive but expected for oia in santorini.

United StatesThere were some bugs and a cockroach. It crawled underneath our kitchenette and couldn’t get it out!! We messaged them for help but was told that the cliff area will sometimes have it. It took awhile but scary as it was scurrying around our room so fast! We couldn’t sleep because we thought there was more and couldn’t get one of them out fast enough
The view was amazing!! We had the top room with little balcony. Great location! We got help to walk our luggage from drop off and pick up area

RomaniaPerfect room for a couple. The location is right near the castle with the perfect view of the caldera. The only minus is the pool which is not 100% private bun I guess you cannot ask for this in Oia.

South Koreadriver was 40 minutes late to pick us up for our prepaid return trip to the airport. Almost missed the plane and had to end a perfect trip with the tremendous stress of potentially missing a plane and ruining the rest of the honeymoon. The good news: We didn’t miss the plane. As long as the driver shows up on time, this is a perfect place to stay! Awesome

SlovakiaAn exceptional apartment and great service overall. The property management took care also of my transport to and from the airport, there is a helpline / reception that will also take care of every of your needs. Had one of the most friendly check-in experiences. The apartment is wonderful, your location cannot be more central and the views from every window have been breathtaking. Everything is in a walking distance - restaurants, shops, landmarks. I am definitely recommending this apartment.

United StatesSophia Castle View was an absolutely wonderful property for our honeymoon. There might not be a better location in Oia! It’s a charming and comfortable cave house with an updated bathroom, a balcony with the best view in Oia, and a kitchenette. The property manager and other staff were all very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was brought to us in takeout containers every morning to enjoy on our balcony. It was fabulous and a lot of food! The check-in and check-out processes were smooth. I still cannot get over the view. We felt like royalty as we watched the sunset on our balcony with glasses of wine as everyone else packed in on the steps and streets below.
