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.).

GermanyThe fridge in the room was a tiny bit loud, but that may be just our room.
Very clean and cosy rooms with a perfect location - just outside of Fira at the start of Firostefani. Still close to everything while being away from the noise and crowds, with great restaurants nearby and sea views (onto both sides).

United StatesNothing - everything was perfect.
The room was perfect with the best shower I had my entire trip to the islands! There was a small balcony with chairs where I watched the sunrise. I traveled to Santorini with a big group of friends who stayed at a large resort nearby. By the second day some wished they had booked Villa Fotini! Very friendly staff and great communication regarding check-in. The room was spotless and had all the amenities that you needed. I highly recommend Villa Fotini and would definitely stay there again if I returned to Santorini!

United KingdomNo dislikes but it is hilly. You can walk or bus anywhere but need to be fit
Our flight was diverted due to crosswinds. Maria was brilliant and Whatsapping us to give us access at any time and to reschedule the taxi A beautiful clean room with a balcony for dinner. Ideally situated a 15 minute walk from Fira and on the mountain path that runs to the north of the island Lots of restaurants in walking distance and Maria gave us brilliant recommendations. Local mini market

IrelandThere was no box/curtains in the shower, so after every shower the entire toilet was getting wet. Apart from that everything was fantastic.
Great apartment! Everything was brand new, the air con was great, the apartment was clean and the communication with Maria was perfect, we checked in at 11:30 am. Very well located, close to shops, bars e restaurants.

Polandit's just a little thing - a socket by the bed and additional hooks in the bathroom
Everything - host, location, apartment. It' only few steps from caldera. From balcony (double superior room) we could see both see sides. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Near the apartments is small market, nice restaurants, big public parking. We were delighted with the room, cleanliness, comfort, balcony and terrace in front of the entrance. Thank you for the slippers and beach towels. Very very nice service. thank you again for the possibility of early check-in. If I return to Santorini someday, I would definitely go to Villa Fotini. Firostefani is a beautiful town and much less crowded than Fira or Oia. It stole my heart.

Maria was a kind and wonderful host and so helpful during our stay. The property is in a great location, a little bit outside the main busy “street” but easily walkable to many restaurants and things to do. The welcome drinks in the room were a nice touch and the room was spacious, clean, and with good AC. Perfect stay!

CanadaWas hoping for a view of the rooftops from our room but we faced the other way. Some do face the skyline though.
The bed was the best we’ve had in Greece with an actual doona (duvet), proper pillows and slept great. The room was spacious and the terrace cute. Kitchen was well stocked. We were allowed an early check in which made all the difference coming in on some god awful ferry time.
