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 quite spacious, well-maintained, and well-fitted with just enough furniture. The bed is a bit on the soft side but nothing tragic 😀. Enough light as well as privacy. The view and the prime location are exceptional.
Patio furniture needed a bit of scrubbing.

Verified reviewThe view.
The room was a good deal as it was early November but the prices of food and other shopping on the whole island of Santorini were easily double of, say, Crete or Nafplion. The Asian tourists toured in large groups and tended to be oblivious of other people when lingering in the way of others. 😠

Verified reviewLocation was superb. As with all of Oia, there's lots of stairs. Communication and assistance was brilliant. Loved that it was stocked with water. The view was sensational. Watching people take selfies out the front (door has reflective glass, perfect for daytime) was entertaining. Quiet and tranquil.
The bed was a but lumpy. If you don't like crowds, the top of the stairs were packed during the day as no doubt anywhere in Oia is. Very few ventured down as far as the accomodation itself.

Verified reviewLooks just like the photos , very pretty.
The patio furniture was really dirty we had to put towels down so we wouldn’t get our clothes dirty. This obviously is minor but you are paying mostly for the view when you rent this place so it would have been nice if the outdoor area was clean.

Verified reviewAmazing location, transfer provided and assistance from staff to take luggage down to the room and storage outside check in/out hours, recommended amazing restaurants, the space itself was modern but traditional cave room for Greek islands. Highly recommend

Verified reviewProperty was amazing. I stayed in Oia before but the room was not even close to the size of this property. The decor was beaut and the set up of amenities was good. Theodore, the host, was super helpful and accommodating. He met us during check in and gave us more information. They also recommended us restaurants to dine at which was helpful too. Additionally, they were always contactable by WhatsApp to arrange taxis at any time. Location was amazing as it was right in the middle of Oia, easy to walk anywhere.
That I didn’t get to stay longer :(
