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.).

United StatesElizabeth made our trip to Oui such a dream come true! She was so helpful and kind. She helped us book an amazing boat trip and ATVs to cruise around the island. The location of the property itself was perfect for walking to great shops and restaurants. We even walked down to the bay for a swim from our property.

Hong KongThe terrace has no privacy because there are tons of tourists trying to take pictures right above your terrace. The hot tub has no view. The cave villa is kind of dark as it only has 2 small windows in the front entrance.
The view on the roof top terrace is fantastic. It’s located right in the centre of the Oia village. The support team for the villa is good. Breakfast is pre-ordered at the night before. The two rooms are quite spacious and it has 2 separate bathrooms.

AustraliaWe recently enjoyed a 5 day stay at this beautiful villa in Oia with our 10 month old baby, and the experience was absolutely delightful! The room was clean, the views from the villa were simply breathtaking. One of the highlights was its convenient location, with numerous shops within easy walking distance. Elizabeth, our host, was a gem. Her warm hospitality made our trip smooth and memorable. She expertly arranged a hassle-free dinner and wine tasting for us, and even took care of the transportation logistics, ensuring we had an incredible experience. A huge thank you to Elizabeth for making our stay so special! Highly recommend!

United KingdomVery little to fault. Really enjoyed the stay
One of the best properties I’ve ever stayed in. This apartment was right in the centre of Oia with the most amazing view of the Caldera. The location was so good that beside the property was one of the top tourist photo spots and we had the same view on our own balcony to enjoy with a drink without the queues. Inside was beautiful decorated and had a very comfortable bed. The jacuzzi was wonderful to relax in after a busy day sightseeing or to watch the lights of Fira after dark. We also really appreciated the manager Elizabeth. She was excellent and answered every question on WhatsApp no matter what time of day we asked. She was also extremely helpful in sending a list of recommended restaurants and activities prior to our stay and helped organise transfers. Mateo was also very helpful in meeting us on arrival and carrying our heavy cases down the steps. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone coming to Santorini as it had the perfect mix of peace and tranquility whilst being at the very centre of one of the most iconic villages in the world.

United StatesI wish the jacuzzi water was more warmer which I mentioned and was fixed right away. I had relax moment in the jacuzzi and took some nice pics.
I first loved how welcoming and extremely Elizabeth (the manager) was. She was so nice and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable which it absolutely was. Secondly, the Dream has a direct view of the Caldera which was just excellent for us. It was very nice seeing all the tourists take loads of pictures right by our villa. I felt special being able spend a few days at The Dream and so did my family.

United StatesIt was too dark in the bathroom. I wish the lighting was brighter.
We stayed at the Dream Santorini for five nights, which was excellent. The view was outstanding. Many tourists were outside our door and above our patio, taking pictures. It did not bother us because the view was amazing. We will recommend our friends and family to this apartment. Also, I would like to thank our host Elizabeth. She was amazing. We communicated a month before our arrival. She helped arrange our transportation from the airport to the apartment and recommended many good restaurants and tours.

Also, no hot water the second night as I was away all day and didn’t know a blackout turned on the circuit breaker. Bathroom needs more lighting.
