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.).

United KingdomAlthough there are 2 beanbags to sit on outside the cave the one beanbag does not get the view but rather that of the roof in front of the cave (when we were having sundowners). That being said there are plenty other places nearby to go to where you can see more of the view.
The cave is well positioned with the most amazing views. My husband is a tall man but we still managed quite comfortably inside the cave. Elizabeth was super helpful from the time we made the booking. She also assisted with arranging transfer from the port and then to the airport. She offered suggestions for a sunset cruise too (although we didn’t end up doing the cruise).

United Arab EmiratesHard to think about something however if I had to, I'd probably just blame myself for not getting clearer instructions on how to get the Jacuzzi warmed up quicker and I didn't want to bother Elizabeth! But again, just a small miscommunication from my side. Also, the mirrors are hung a little low on the walls so it's a bit hard to look at yourself. However, we do understand the confined space and the whole experience makes it up to this tiny detail!
From the moment we booked the room, to the moment we were dropped into the Port, we had an amazing experience. Elizabeth, the host, was the most attentive and lovely one with us. We agreed on a private pick up from the airport with her, and on the way to Oia, she was already giving us valuable advice about what to do, where to watch the sunset, where to eat and go shopping. Getting to the room, with the assistance of one local guy to help us with the bags, we were amazed by the look of the cave, combined with the view we were having from our open door. To reach the White Cave, you'll have to go down a few steps, and having somebody to help you out with the luggage is a must. The location was perfect though, because we were literally in the center of Oia, having access to all the good restaurants, nice views and bus station. The room was very clean and cozy, perfect for a romantic gateway which included a lovely surprise from our amazing host. Wi-fi worked very well, we had a Smart TV which included Youtube and Netflix too. Shower was amazing, with great pressure and decent amount of water. We couldn't be more thankful for the experience.

AustraliaDidn’t like that there was no outside area to sit at and chill. Also it was hard having 2 suitcases as there was no room to put them.
The location was perfect. The host was very helpful and organised airport transfers and baggage carriers. This property is a more affordable way to enjoy the caves.

New ZealandPlease note that the cave is small. We only had 2 backpacks, so it worked well for us. I can imagine this would be tricky if you have a big luggage. Cave is down a couple of steps, which can be slippery at times, so please be careful when traversing these steps.
Location - was excellent! Great view of the blue domes. Proximity to the city centre was definitely a plus! Facilities - clean and in good functioning order. Staff - Elizabeth was awesome! She was so helpful and easy to deal with. Great communication via whatsapp. History - built in 16BC and carved out of the hill :)

Its a great budget stay with great views of the Aegean sea. We were there in mid-January and it was very private and quiet. It doesn't have a terrace or a balcony in this room as one could believe from the pictures. But nonetheless, it was ana amazing experience staying in a cave house.
