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 StatesNothing. I enjoyed every moment I stayed there.
This is a gem of a hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious; the restaurant served delicious Greek dishes. But best of all, the owners who are on site are warm and delightful people who were also very helpful. I will definitely stay there on my next trips to Santorini.

United KingdomIf you travel with four people please ask the bigger room, We stayed 4 days on the bigger room but when we came back from Naxos we stayed one night and only the small room was available...it's good for one night but not for a holiday! But this is really a very pleasant place, nice pool, great food and you really get the vibe of the holidays!
Out of the beaten track. If you looking for a quite place even in August, this is the place. Far away from everything (crowds) but with everything you need around (small beach with great sea, restaurants and transports available) Fantastic pool and the family run business makes you really feel welcome! You need to embrace the spirit of being with genuine Greeks and locals and you will have an amazing time! Great food on the restaurant that's part of the Villa.

SwedenMr. Michaelis and his wife Merula who own the hotel treated us like they're own family. The staff were friendly. There was a misunderstanding but they did solve it quickly and everything was fine throughout the stay. The food is by far the best food in all of Santorini. Thank you Michalis, Merula and all the staff. If we decide to come to Santorini again, Villa Michalis is the hotel we're going to stay at.

CanadaI suppose if we wanted a busy place with lots of shopping nearby, this wouldn’t be the best location.
We loved how far it was from the bigger towns. It was a great spot to relax and the beach was (Vlychada) was not as busy, great for what we were looking for.

United KingdomVlychada is about 20 minutes drive from the capital, Fira (depending on traffic) and about 40 minutes drive from Oia. Although we took the bus a couple of times, hiring a car was a must. That meant increasing our holiday spending budget.
Our room had two entries. The main door was opposite the parking area and the other door opened to the swimming pool area. The bedroom was clean, spacious, with a safe, a fridge and basic amenities. The bathroom was small but enough for two (shower, toilet and sink). We also had free WiFi. The owners, Michalis and his wife were welcoming and kind. The staff were accomodating and helpful. Although we didn't use the swimming pool, the other guests seemed to enjoy it a lot. The breakfast was good (eggs, orange juice, croissant, Greek yogurt (delicious), various jams, hot drinks, bred, fruits - a generous continental breakfast). We enjoyed spending time at the highly-rated Vlychada beach (Paralia Vlichada), which was about five minutes walk from the hotel. As a bonus, one of the highest-rated seafood restaurants is located three minutes away from the beach. If you're looking for a quiet hotel away from the nightlife noises, you will enjoy staying at Villa Michalis. However, you may need to hire a car for a day or two in order to explore parts of the island at your own pace and your own terms. We paid 60 euros + 20 euros insurance to hire a medium size car for a day. The cheapest option can cost about 55 euros (smaller car without extra insurance). Otherwise, you can catch a bus (inexpensive 1.7 euros to 2.5 euros, depending on your destination, but the buses have limited timetalbes, e.g. 3 buses a day to/from Fira, the capital). You can also hire a quad bike. Michalis, the hotel owner, can help with bookings (car, boat tour, etc.). We were pleased with our stay at Villa Michalis overall.
