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.).

CanadaThe second room did not have any door to be private with the other bedroom. With one bathroom shared the people in the smaller bedroom have to walk past the bed in the open concept bedroom.
Close to everything in Oia. A bit of a climb down to the property but our Vasilis helped carry our bags down and up when we left. Property shows as the photos. The sunset was beautiful but is not seen at the property during October when we were there. To see it set you must be closer to the end of Oia and can best be seen above Amoudi Bay.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Villa520 so much!! The owner was very responsive and helpful leading up to our trip. She even helped us book transportation to and from the ferry. Our concierge, Vasilis, was also wonderful. He had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. He made our stay easy and smooth. Finally, the location of the villa is unmatched! Right in the heart of Oia. Beautiful view of the water and easy to walk to tons of fantastic restaurants. Would go back in a heartbeat.

United StatesIt is easy for any traveler to look at the photos provided and know that you are about to stay at a stunning villa in Oía. What you can't see before you arrive is the EXCEPTIONAL service that will be given to your by Vasilis, the property conceirge. When they ask you in advance to arrange a transfer or anything else, take them up on the offer. Vasilis will make sure your Santorini experience is the best it can be. He greets you with a warm smile and a generous, hospitable attitude and he goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you might need. It was our friends birthday and fulfilled my advance request to have flowers and a cake upon arrival. 😃 We enjoyed that cake everyday for the entire trip by the way. Every restaurant he recommended was top notch and offered the best food and the best service on the island. When we chose our own spots we noticed a difference. Vasilis kept our party of 6 with various personalities comfortable and cared for. The cleaning staff was also exceptional. You can follow the photos, because even the beautiful ones can't truly show you the beauty of staying in Villa Santorini 520, or you can follow our advice that a beautiful villa alone does not make a great vacation. The people are what make you feel welcome and cared for. Thank you to Vasilis for truly knowing how to host international travelers. It is the combination of his personality and service along with the beauty and cleanliness of Villa 520 that makes this the perfect place to call home, away from the crowds on Santorini. 🙌 Thank you Vasilis!

United StatesWell , it’s the caldera along the slope so couldn’t do much about the steps one has to take . But perhaps they could put something to grab unto while walking thru the steps would be nice .
The location is just perfect . Vasilis, our host, was exceptional, he made sure our stay was comfortable. You go up and shopping along Oia is right there . Have your own oasis and privacy as you enter the property. Soak yourself with the amazing views of the caldera. Can’t see the sunset but a short walk towards Fanari restaurant for sunset dining was simply divine . Highly recommend private dining in the deck . You could not go wrong in this property. We totally had a great time here while in Santorini.

It was in the most perfect location in Oia, the villa is secluded but right in the middle of everything. We felt welcome the minute we arrived and left. It made our entire holiday hanging out here when we weren’t travelling around the island

United StatesThe property was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. Our host, Vassilis, was wonderful! He made everything a breeze, from helping get our luggage up/down the steps, to making sure we made our connections and helping when our transfer went to the wrong place. The villa itself had the most gorgeous view, and the heated pool was a plus! The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and we were pleased that we got daily housekeeping, beds made and fresh towels. Highly recommended if you stay in Oia. Right in the heart of all of the wonderful shopping and extraordinary views of the caldera!

United KingdomThis is a fantastic villa in a fantastic location with a fantastic view! Oia is pretty busy (for good reason as it is beautiful), but this is just a haven all to yourselves. We could have spent all day every day in that pool looking at the caldera view. Vasilis was very warm and welcoming too. A lovely spot.

United KingdomIt was all great. There was a blip with the WiFi when we were there but this was to do with the provider, so hopefully won’t happen again.
I have no doubt that in 40 years time my children will still be asking each other “Do you remember that place we stayed in Santorini?”. It was that good. When it’s hot in Santorini what you really want is somewhere comfortable to sit and admire the iconic view. You need a pool in the right spot. And ideally a private pool. This is that pool. Not a pool you can do lengths in but one that the whole family can enjoy together. We loved it, and sat for many hours enjoying the beautiful volcano view. The suites were lovely too - appropriately cave-like (which is what you want in Santorini) but bigger than most places that have a similar view. Vasilis, our host, was fabulous. He arranged trips to the wonderful Argyros winery and the black beach (where you can lie on luxurious Arabian Night style sunbeds and be pampered). All amazing!

United StatesVilla Santorini 520 is incredible. There is no better view in Santorini. People stop above the villa to take photos of the sunset and you get to experience it right from your enormous terrace and pool. We were going to go exploring one day, but decided to just stay on the terrace and enjoy our view instead. The Villa itself is very beautiful and consists of three separate rooms - one with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, one with a bedroom + sleeper sofa and a bathroom, and the last with a kitchen, all connected by the terrace and was perfect for our group of 8 adults. It’s in the perfect area of town - it’s quiet, but you are still steps away from bars, restaurants, shops, markets, etc. Our host, Vasilis, made sure our stay was perfect and was there for all of our needs, including arranging tours, transportation and a private chef. If we go back to Santorini, there is no other place I would stay!

PhilippinesThe room with the 2 bedroom had some problem with WC ventilation. Smell was not okay, which is a big deal for us. We went in 2 groups so if you are coming from other hotel make sure to inform them as we had to drag big luggages from the castle to the meeting place without help. We were offered a porter to meet us halfway but i didn't see the point as the stairs going up was already done and its all flat to the meeting point to the room. Pool was not as heated as the pool i've already tried in santorini. Would have been a better experience if it was heated more.
It's my 3rd time in santorini and we loved how big the space was. The complimentary breakfast was great and unexpected. Mary was responsive. Was a good host as she really tried to answer every question.
