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.).

IsraelI didn’t like the fact that pool was heated and would have preferred it cool. It’s only heated at night however still felt in the noon. Also as a vegan the hotel breakfast did not have many options.. though the breakfast was full and great.
The pool next to the room was amazing, it had a great view and was all we needed. The staff was also great and welcoming. The hotel location was very close to the airport and few minutes drive from some great beaches which are family friendly.

And even the opportunity to take a shower after check-out. Clean, thought out to the smallest detail for the guests. Large rooms, comfortable pastels. Premium quality

SpainIn terms of the not so positive, I struggle to see how this is a 5 star hotel in relation to the service. On arrival my husband wanted cold water (they provided a bottle of water, however this was outside the fridge) and it was 28 degrees and we just arrived tired from the airport. At the bar they said he had to buy the cold water, he then spoke to the lady in reception who said the same, so he asked to speak to the manager who was unreachable and never showed up. My husband asked for ice and they agreed, but we feel like if we are spending thousand of pounds in a 5 star hotel and you just arrived from the airport they should be able to give you cold water or at least present you with the option of the ice (it is not a big ask). The receptionist didn’t know how to handle the situation. This is very unusual, we have been to 4 different Greek islands and what we love the most is the Greek service. Also, when we have stayed in 5 stars hotels in the past they greet you with water, a glass of champagne, a Greek delight/treat or some wet towels to clean yourself and refresh from the airport and the heat, this wasn’t the case at all. On one occasion we asked for ice to be sent to the room, this never arrived. On a different occasion we only received one set of knife and fork with the breakfast, we called for another set to be sent to the room which didn’t arrive either. My husband had to eat his breakfast with a spoon. We then raised these two occasions in reception, they apologised. Another thing to mention is that there was no mini bar, there was a fridge but nothing in it which again it is strange for a 5 stars hotel. When you go on their website, they advertise an amazing gym and luxurious spa, this couldn’t be further from the truth. There was no spa at all, it is being built which is fair enough, but please let us know because this was massive for us. We love to use the steam room, sauna and have massages in our holidays.
We stayed here from 07/06 to 14/06 for our first wedding anniversary. In terms of the positives, the hotel is stunning and relaxing, modern and rustic right in front of the sea so you can hear the waves at night. The view is spectacular and the pool area is super nice, with a beautiful infinity pool. The staff is friendly, especially the lady in reception in the afternoon/night shift and the guy who brings your breakfast into the room. They sent us flowers with a card for our anniversary which was a nice gesture. Location is really good if you rent a car (we did) about 8 minutes driving into Fira town centre and 20 minutes to Oia. Otherwise, taxis are very expensive and there is nothing to do in the hotel area as it is quite secluded. The hotel and rooms are immaculate clean. We stayed in the Royal Suite sea view and it was gorgeous and spacious along with a big terrace and hot tub.

We had a dream stay at Aelia Thalassa! The hotel is truly five star in everything: from the fantastic location with stunning views, to the luxurious facilities and the thoughtful aesthetics. The staff was extremely kind and eager to serve our every need with a smile. The restaurant impressed us with the flavors and quality of the food – every meal was a special experience. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

South AfricaAs with any new establishment, not everything is working perfectly so there were a few small things that were missed, e.g. the tv was not connected to the internet. Otherwise I still enjoyed my stay.
The hotel is brand new so everything is in great condition. The view from the sea-facing room was picturesque. The staff were friendly and responsive. I loved the option of enjoying their amazing breakfast spready in my room, it gave a personal touch to my stay.

Greece-
Our stay at Aelia Thalassa during Easter was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something truly special. The staff went above and beyond every single day — welcoming, attentive, and genuinely warm, they made us feel like honored guests rather than just visitors. We stayed in one of the beautiful suites with a private heated jacuzzi and sea view — and it was even better than we had imagined. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises over the water, relaxing in the jacuzzi under the stars… every moment felt cinematic. The room was impeccably clean, stylish, and designed for total comfort. The daily breakfast was another highlight — fresh, generous, and delicious, served with love and always featuring local flavors. It was the perfect start to each day of exploring the island. The property itself is peaceful, elegant, and perfectly maintained, offering a luxurious yet authentic Santorini experience away from the crowds. It felt like a private paradise where every detail was crafted with care. If you’re dreaming of a stay in Santorini that combines heartfelt hospitality, stunning views, top-notch amenities, and a truly personal touch, Aelia Thalassa is the place. We are already planning our return!

The breakfast was wonderful, very rich and delicious. The staff was incredibly helpful and polite. The facilities were amazing—the gym was excellent, with brand-new equipment and very clean. The spa was absolutely relaxing. The room was fantastic, with a sea view, a private jacuzzi, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The main pool was huge, very clean, and uniquely designed. Everything was well-maintained. The owner was present, kindly asking if we needed anything and immediately providing it. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and I had an amazing time. I highly recommend visiting this place. Everything was truly wonderful—thank you so much!

FranceBooked a honeymoon room several months ago with private pool and was downgraded without any previous information or warnig. No more private pool, only a hot bath with a small terrace. The room was bigger according to them but why they didn’t warn me that my room was given to someone else? Something else: the is near to the airport flight line, so you hear them every 20-30mins (not during nights fortunately)
