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.).

The sunset is superfluous from the balcony! We truly enjoyed every moment in Vacay Suites. The host is very helpful. It was a bit cold in February, I asked that if it is possible to get more duvet. She provided in the afternoon!

United StatesThe major drawback was the breakfast. It is provided by an outside vendor and came in a prepackaged basket crate delivered to the doorstep each morning. Consisted of a cold hard boiled egg and small finger sandwich on a bun w a few tiny biscuits and a bit of yogurt and fruit. Sufficient to get out the door and start the day but nothing varied or especially tempting. But as it states in the description this is not a hotel with a kitchen staff. And there are several restaurants/cafes nearby for breakfast if one so chooses. For those with mobility issues the flight of steps between the loft bedroom and the first floor bathroom could be problematic, especially when getting up in the middle of the night to relieve oneself.
The view is unbeatable. The location is ideal, mainly because it doesn't involve any steps like so many other accommodations on the caldera edge, and also because it's close to the main road where there is plentiful free parking if you're renting a car. Firostefani is much calmer/less tourist intense than adjacent Fira. The owner Dimitra is very responsive to any reasonable requests, though everything is handled over the phone or by messaging. It worked well for us. Our suite felt very spacious for the two of us.

United StatesOnly suggestion would be to add a microwave. We could have used one for leftovers, but not a big deal. Also, in the off season, many of the nearby restaurants close down, so it's very quiet. Some may prefer being closer to Fira in the winter to have more things open nearby (but we loved the quiet).
Great property with fantastic views. The breakfast they have delivered each morning is fantastic. Traditional greek decor was enjoyable and the bed was very comfortable. Host very easy to work with. If you are going at a busy time, the unit is conveniently AWAY from the madness of Fira, but still close enough to walk into town.

United StatesDimitra was a wonderful host, gave quick and personal attention (coordination, transfers, breakfast delivery, etc), and made us feel very special! The location and suite are 10/10 - excellent view, private balcony, very accessible (especially compared to many other properties!), quiet, super convenient, and spacious. It was the perfect suite for our 5 days. We were extremely pleased.

We just spent 1 week in this cosy nest and we would like to thank Dimitra and her mother for their attention during our stay. The flat is very well located in Firostefani / Thira. You could park a car easily and the location is perfect to visit all Santorini. There is a mini market at 10 meters and a lot of restaurants around. The view from the flat and the terrace on the Caldeira is incredible almost for sunsets 🌅 The flat decoration has been done with a very good taste and everything has been done to feel at home. We recommend warmly the location, the flat and our hosts ! We will be very happy to come back here!

The accomodation was excellent. The suite was clean and the decoration very pleasant. The view from all the windows and balcony was phenomenal!!! The perfect place to enjoy what Santorini has to offer. The location was also great, close to shops, restaurants and mini markets. The owners, Maria and Dimitra, were also very helpful and pleasant. A true Greek hospitality, we even got a home baked cake from Maria for our kids!!!

LithuaniaIt's a great, clean and well equipped flat. There's a nice balcony with great sea views. Vacay suites are also well-situated: only about 10 min walk to Fira centre and you can also go the other way to Imerovigli or hike to Oia. We rented a car and there's a free public car park just several min away. The hostess was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fully recommend

IndiaNothing about the property as such. Just one suggestion for ease of identification - a name plate can be put at the main gate to identify the property. We depended on google maps to reach but had difficulty in spotting the apartment.
Excellent location. It is bang on main road and hence one doesn't have to deal with steep steps which at times can be very difficult to manage with luggage. Spacious room with a good sitout area with Caldera view.

Very nice new apartment with caldera view. Nice decorated.

SingaporeIt’s difficult to carry luggages, no help, so for those who have big luggages will feel a burden. The apartment itself has 2 level, stair is narrow so it’s also difficult to carry a large luggage.
It’s a typical apartment style around the area. It’s spacious, 2 level, with own terrace overlooking the caldera. Location is convenient, many restaurants nearby

CanadaWe didn’t have a private balcony which isn’t obvious when booking. Neither the write up or the photos indicate it isn’t private other than below in the FAQs which I didn’t read until later. So I found the write up and photo deceiving and was disappointed when I arrived to find out the balcony was shared - not only shared but the people we shared with smoked pot which really took away from the vibe I was hoping for. To pay such a high price for the view and hopes of relaxing on a private balcony - the reality was so disappointing. So even though it was a great location , I would not recommend it given the price and lack of transparency about the balcony .
The place was very clean and had great views of the caldera.
