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):
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 Arab EmiratesWe fell in love with this gorgeous hotel in Oia, Santorini – perched atop the caldera with breathtaking sunset views. Though cars can’t reach the doorstep, the staff promptly collect your luggage from the drop‑off point. The room exudes authentic cave‑house charm and matches the photos perfectly—spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. The team was incredibly helpful, swiftly accommodating all our requests. The iconic blue‑domed churches, shops, and eateries just a short walk. There is a small castle nearby where you can get a 360 degree view

IrelandThe location is fantastic—just a stone’s throw from the iconic castle of Oia. In the mornings, you can even hear traditional Greek music, which adds a lovely, authentic touch to the experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The only downside is the number of tourists passing by, which means you might overhear conversations while relaxing in the hot tub and taking in the breathtaking sea views. However, the overall experience at Sophia Castle View more than makes up for it.

ChinaSofia Castle View is an absolute gem, located just steps away from the famous castle in Oia. What I loved the most about this place is the abundance of windows—every wall except one has a window, making the room incredibly bright and airy. You can watch both the sunrise and sunset from the comfort of your room, and two sides of the room offer stunning views of the sea. It’s also perfectly positioned right above Oia’s iconic sunset spot. While others gather below to catch the sunset, you can enjoy the same breathtaking view from your room, soaking in the atmosphere while still having your own private space. The room itself is beautifully designed in soft white and green tones, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for taking photos, and the memories made here will be unforgettable. I absolutely loved my stay here!

United StatesEverything was great. Just to note though that the picture of the blue domes are taken at a different location and not from the room. The room itself is located right by the actual old Castle, which is a popular spot that people gather to see the sunset.
We loved our stay here. The room itself was even nicer than the photos, which is always a pleasant surprise. There was even a little kitchen, which we didn't end up using, but that would have been nice for preparing a light snack or breakfast. We appreciated the bottle of wine and water in the fridge. Favorite part was the view from the window right into the plunge pool that overlooks the caldera. The plunge pool itself was great with more privacy than most of the other pools we saw around Oia since it was tucked away a bit. Our host was provided a lot of suggestions, but the best part was arranging a 30 minute window for us to take photos from a private look-out area at one of their sister properties. This is where you get the famous view of the 3 blue domes. It was almost worth for this alone since we didn't have to wait in the long long line to get a shot like everyone else.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff wasn’t prepared for our plans , he says everything will be ready in time and we don’t have to worry about anything, but then when it’s time for our plans it’s always late and he forgets about it. And when he booked for us the yacht he made us pay double the real price it was too expensive for everything.

AustraliaLove it all. Amazing.
Loved the whole experience. Being our third trip to Santorini where we never had stayed at a place on the island with the postcard view, we simply wanted to find a place that had the views. We didn't so much care about walking around visiting places on the island. Basically staying in and enjoying the room and views. Well this place doesn't disappoint. It's views and amenities are amazing. You don't need to leave if staying for a few days. Even cooked up our own Octopus and enjoyed this with wine on the balcony. Views are the best. Definitely one in the best places we have stayed in. Best tip I can give is take the transfer organised by Sophia Castle View to and from the ferry or airport who took or luggage to the venue (it not fun to do yourself given the steps etc) and clearly saved us from trying to find it. It's not cheap but not much is in Santorini in the summer.

AustraliaWe waited where instructed for a porter to meet us. After 1hr and multiple phone calls we decided to walk to the room ourselves, we then waited another half an hour to be greeted. I was very disappointed to arrive and realise we didn’t have the pool. Don’t be fooled when it advertises accomadation with a hot tub pool. This is the downstairs accomadation. The have a seperate room upstairs. Due to crowds it was hard to access the accommodation especially during sunset. Breakfast would be great benefit for the owners to consider including considering how much you pay for the room.
Perfect sunset spot but it is ridiculous busy in peak season! Cute little balcony to enjoy drinks or food. They allowed us to check in early which we were very greatful for. It’s a very basic but pretty room, comfortable bed! Expensive but expected for oia in santorini.
