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 reviewLocation was amazing, views superb. So close to shops and restaurants. We stayed at Ostria Caldara for 3 nights the beginning of October it was still very busy with cruise boat tourists but not as busy as high season. Our host Evangelos was fantastic one of the best hosts we have ever had and we have done a lot of travelling. He gave us so much information even recommending what time and where to catch the bus and which way to do the Fira to Oia walk. He also recommended visiting Thirasia which was a great way to escape crowded Oia. We also swam and had lunch on Thirasia very low key there but a more authentic Greek Island We walked to Amoudi Bay where we caught the ferry across to Thirasia for the afternoon. 1euro per person each way. Easy walk down but a bit harder going back up Our room had everything we needed. We ate out in the evenings and had breakfast bought to our balcony one morning which was OK but cheaper than eating breakfast at a cafe and lovely to sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. When arriving and leaving Ostria Caldara transport drops and picks up near the apartment as cars are not allowed in the streets, but there are very few steps to negotiate with suitcases and its not far at all. I couldn't speak more highly of Evangelos he really made our stay so enjoyable

Verified reviewEverything! The host Evangelos was superb! He met us in the taxi drop off and brought us there when we were leaving - hosting is 10/10. He also answered our questions promptly, he is kind and thoughtful. The community there loves Evangelos too. The place has a comfortable bed, spacious room, clean and modern bathroom, free wine and water bottle, espresso capsules, and picturesque view in your balcony. Everything is walkable! You have restos beside this place for breakfast, lunch, drinks, and dinner. Blue dome is just infront of you. Sunrise view is so beautiful. Worth your money plus no stairs to this place and drop off is just 2 min by walking.

Verified reviewWell located. Not too much walk or steps. You can see the blue dooms right below the terrace. The manager is excellent and arranges everything that you need or need to find out.
Well there were ants in the bed but the manager quickly responded and got everything cleaned. It seems that the heat created it. Power in the entire area goes at times but its not the property fault

Verified reviewThis property was a little slice of paradise! It is located in the perfect spot close to shopping, food and a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea. Evangelos is the perfect host! He is a wealth of knowledge about the area. He is the most hospitable host and deeply cares for his visitors! He checks on you daily and will do whatever is needed to make your stay wonderful. If you are traveling to Santorini I highly recommend Ostria Caldera Studios!

Verified reviewArriving in Santorini, we anticipated breathtaking sunsets and stunning vistas, and we were not disappointed. However, what took us by surprise was discovering a new friend in Evangelis, our gracious host, who elevated our experience to unforgettable heights. Beyond its picturesque landscapes, Santorini holds the warmth and hospitality of its inhabitants, a discovery Evangelis led us to cherish. His guidance acquainted us with the true treasure of the island – the people who built this beautiful place and call it home. We are immensely grateful to him for showing us that Santorini is so much more than just a place to take incredible pictures. We eagerly anticipate returning to this enchanting island and our new friends.

Verified reviewWe had the most wonderful stay at Ostria Caldera Studios. Evangelos was an excellent host and went above and beyond to make our stay truly exceptional. The accomodation itself was immaculate with one of the best views in Santorini and the most stunning sunrise over the iconic blue domes and caldera. The location is perfect in the heart of Oia, just off the main street but is a peaceful oasis away from all the hustle and bustle. We could not recommend this accomodation more. Thank you Evangelos for the best stay.

Verified reviewAmazing host, very approachable and attentive to our needs. Incredible location, exactly like the pictures and easy to get to. There was wine chilled in the fridge on arrival for us to watch the sunset, and we were even able to get dinner delivered right to our balcony from a restaurant of our choice. What a memorable stay!
