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 StatesThe only issue is the shower. We didn’t stay many nights but we were afraid to take a shower since there was no shower curtain or shower glass door. In hindsight, we should have asked the host if it was ok.
TAKI, our host was excellent! From arranging pick up at the airport to a porter meeting us to bring our luggage directly to the Captain’s house. Breakfast was such a pleasure to have right outside outdoor and the staff was super friendly and very very accommodating. They even made pancakes for our daughter.

United StatesA little inconvenience with the bath tub/ shower. But nothing that limited the enjoyment. Although a bit challenging for someone that has mobility problems.
The corner where you enter the 1864 The Sea Captain’s House is literally where everybody goes to take pictures, however it has a door that gives you a private enjoyment of the place. You can’t get a better view to the Caldera. We booked the Venetian room that has a balcony with a beautiful view. If you want to have an unobstructed sight and a bigger space to enjoy, better book the Sailing room, it’s worth the extra amount to be paid. Takis helped us with every small question we had. Gave us very good food recommendations and how to move in the island. Thank you for a wonderful stay in such a demanding place.

Fabulous location. Beautiful apartment. Super hosts. Comfy beds. Breakfast was out of this world delicious, and served to us on our private patio!

United Statesliterally everything was perfect. no notes! stay here!
The room was spacious and comfortable, the A/C worked well, the beds were very comfortable, breakfast was INCREDIBLE, Takis was extremely helpful and informative and the VIEW, you truly cannot beat the Caldera view. This is a prime location in Oia, your patio and view is private but if you peek over you can see tons of tourists taking pictures (and lining up) for a view that you can enjoy at your own pace during breakfast. They coordinated a taxi (which we paid for) from the airport, then someone from the hotel met us and we had to walk a bit to the hotel but it was a short/simple walk. Takis met us immediately and gave us a tour of our room and explained everything. He was helpful recommending restaurants and things to do. I reallycannot say enough positive things about this gorgeous historical building. Of note, we stayed in the Sailing Suite, our friends stayed in the Venetian Suite, these rooms share a patio to enjoy the view. Separate tables and stuff but if you don't know your neighbors just know that you will be sharing this space!

United StatesBecause of the great location by the blue dome, you had a constant stream of tourists just outside the unit, but wasn’t really a big deal as you had a lot of privacy in the unit. Minor negative - we did see a few ants in the front room - management was responsive when we told them about it.
Great location. Great views. Nice breakfast. Friendly host. Need to be fit to walk up and down the steps as you approach the property. Porter was available when needed to help with our suitcases. Quiet and comfortable. A/c worked well. Four of us were very comfortable.
