How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe apartment was perfectly clean, there is everything you need, the modern greek style of the apartment is wonderful. The position is perfect, 1 minute from Oia main shopping street, but two levels down, so privacy was excellent and the view of the sea as well. The pool is perfect, water is warm, and the sun is present front the morning up to 6 pm. When arrived a basket of fruit, wine, water and everything we need was in the apartment. In the morning they bring you a breakfast very rich and with excellent quality. But what made our vacation really perfect was Matheo. He helps me on everything, restaurants booking, journey on the sea, booking of scooter , handling the baggages up and down the apartment,and any small thing I need. The day of my wife's birthday, he made a surprise on the room with flowers, balloons, petals on the floor and a champagne on the ice. What you can perceive is that he makes all this from the heart. He was just fantastic!! One of our best vacation . Strongly recommended!!!!

Verified reviewOne of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Perfect location in Oia, the cave is beautiful with all the amenities you could want including wine, fruit and local snacks and of course the pool and the view. Breakfast delivered to your door and eating and having your coffee with the most amazing view. The staff is awesome and schedules your dinners, excursions, carries your bags up and down the steps. We were really sad to go home after this!!
Dear Kristen, So glad you had an amazing stay with us in Oia! We really appreciate your time to make the review. And are super happy we met your expectations;) We hope to welcome you back again soon! All the best from Aristos Life!

Verified reviewWe had the perfect stay at Aristos Life Luxury Cave Villas, the accommodation was exactly as on the pictures, absolutely clean. We loved the fruit plate, coffee, wine and water included in the room rate. The breakfast was not five-star, but it was great to have it on the terrace while relaxing in the whirlpool, simply great. Despite the central area, the room was absolutely quiet, with not too many people passing by, absolutely clean and cosy. We have enjoyed the stay very much, also thanks to Matheo, who took really good care of us. 100 % recommended, a once- (or twice :-)) life-time experience.
Dear Schnico, Thank you for your kind comments and we are so glad you had an amazing stay! We agree the location is as you say, especially for Oia. We have taken note of the breakfast, and are working on providing a better experience! Thank you and all the best! (and we do hope you come back twice and thrice;)

Verified reviewThe room was impeccable. It looked exactly like the pictures. We loved everything about it. The location could not be beat. 5 minutes to all the shops, restaurants, etc. The host was incredible. He contracted us before our stay to give us places to eat and other ideas. He was also available by WhatsApp anytime we needed him.
A few negatives: Most of these are not fixable--they are just things you need to know. We had never stayed in Santorini before, but most of the cave hotels require you to walk down a lot of uneven steps without railings. If you have any sort of physical challenges, this is extremely difficult. That is not unique to this hotel. Second, there is a step down when you walk from the bedroom into the bathroom. It is easy to forget about it. We left the light on and the door closed so we would remember. Third, these plunge pools are right on top of each other, so there really is no privacy. The one negative that is fixable is the breakfast. There were not a lot of choices, but more importantly, it was delivered to us in cardboard takeout boxes each day. With the price we were paying, we would have expected food on glass/china plates brought to our room like room service. Instead the cardboard boxes were dumped on a table outside our room. We did see nearby cave villa people receiving their breakfasts on china with servers delivering the meals.
Dear William, Thank you for your kind and sincere feedback about your stay with us in Oia! We are so thrilled you enjoyed the stay, especially the cave villa itself, the location, and Matteo’s assistance! We appreciate your feedback about the steps, bathroom design, and plunge pools. While some of these are inherent parts of the cave/caldera experience in Santorini, we of course will look into how we can improve it further. Of course by sharing your experience it is super useful for our future guests’ consideration. For breakfast we do sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. The location of the caves, and the need to carry the food through sometimes busy paths above, we have chosen to use the environmentally friendly food containers for hygiene and freshness, and prefer not to disturb guests for plating from the dining supplies in the room. But, we very much appreciate your feedback and take it to heart. So we will review our services to find a better breakfast experience for our guests. Thank you again for taking the time to share your review! We are so glad you chose Aristos Life for your visit to Oia, and we hope to welcome you back soon! All the best, Aristos Life Management Team

Verified reviewAristos Life Luxury Cave Villas in Oia offer everything you will need to create an unforgettable stay in the heart of Santorini's iconic beauty. Matheo provides impeccable service like no other. He set up dinner reservations, booked our boat, ensured breakfast was delivered every day at a specific time, and even brought flowers and balloons for my wife’s birthday. The villas offer breathtaking caldera views and private plunge pools to provide an unparalleled level of relaxation and indulgence. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Matheo!!

Verified reviewLocation was amazing! Right by one of the blue dooms. Not to far from the sunset area. Exceptional views. Very private and not much foot traffic. We went then it was chilly out and the hot tub was the next option since most hotels are only plunge pools
Breakfast was the greatest not a fan for the restaurant they use but the host is very attentive in getting you what you want from their menu and having it there at the exact time of your choosing.

Verified reviewOur host, Matteo truly made our week in Santorini a dream in every way. From booking to departure, he was exceptional - outstanding communication, beyond helpful booking our dinner reservations and excursions, incredibly knowledgeable about all things Santorini. I have been to this island 3 times and of course it is gorgeous and magical! We stayed in Aristos Villa #2 with the outdoor hot tub, and it was a 10 in every way. Sparkling clean, welcome baskets of food and wine, a perfectly equipped little kitchen, comfy bed, great bed linens, and great shower products. Breathtaking views and such a peaceful terrace for breakfast and afternoon cocktails! It is hard to find the words to adequately thank Matteo for his stellar treatment of us from the moment we arrived. He is the gold standard in hospitality, work ethic, and the personal touch. A perfect week in every way...
