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 StatesThis is a boutique hotel family run operation. It’s 8 cave suites run by a very kind couple. First off - accept there offer to arrange a pick up from the airport. It’s a 45-ish minute drive. They will also arrange the porters once you arrive to the city. The city of Oia was not built for roller bags/suitcases and they need to be carried (it felt very VIP to have the airport pick up and porters). By the way - Oia is the right choice over Fira or any other location on Santorini. And Aris Caves is situated right in the middle of Oia - you cannot beat the location. We stayed in their largest suite and our friends stayed in one of the mid-size suites. The arrival to Aris Caves and charming steps with expansive ocean views will wow you upon arrival. When we walked into our suite my teenage kids started giggling with excitement and let me tell you - my teens are not easily impressed by anything that isn’t on a screen. Our suite had a kitchenette and dining area, a loft with two twin beds, a queen bed in the open bedroom under the loft, and a full bathroom, and a separate master bedroom with king size bed and our own bathroom. The master has an attached balcony with sun chairs and a hot tub and the most expansive views of the ocean/caldera. We spent 5 days in this suite and I think that was the perfect amount of time. Anything less and we would have missed out on getting to see everything we wanted to see in Santorini. The cherry on top was the momma cat and baby kitten that lived on the balcony below ours.

United StatesThe location was amazing! A porter met us at the Uber/taxi location and carried our luggage to the room. The owner and staff met us on arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. They went over everything with us and gave us very helpful information about the island. Really wonderful people and a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

AustraliaAbsolutely loved our stay at Aris Caves! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. The property was immaculate and perfectly located, offering breathtaking views and easy access to everything in Oia. We stayed in Villa 4 which was the ideal size — comfortable, stylish, and peaceful. Excellent value for money. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat!

Everything, Christina and Alex were incredible. They were able to book additional tours and restaurants and there was never a request they couldn’t accommodate. We went wine tasting, sunset cruising and a personal afternoon tour to see the historic sights of the island.

AustraliaOur room was a long way down the stairs, which we didn't realise at time of booking. No handrails to grab onto, made it difficult to access our room from entry gate.
Small kitchenette with electric cooker, pots and pans. Thoughtful details like a mini clothesline for drying wet swimmers, and candles to set the mood. Lovely garden, cosy sitting areas. We were grateful for the porter helped us with our heavy bags up and down the stairs.

GuamLoved it all ❤️
First off, the hostess Christina is amazing! Ensured porters were available for our pickup and drop off. Answered all questions promptly via WhatsApp. Gave great food recommendations. Made traveling there as stress free as possible. Then of course the amenities! The private hot tub on the balcony was so relaxing and the view was amazingly beautiful from our balcony. We had 6 ladies in our group and the size was perfect for us with 2 queens and 2 twins. It is a spacious apartment, did not feel cramped at all. The space is kept very clean. Someone would wash out the balcony every morning and empty the trash daily. More than enough fresh bath and jacuzzi towels, which were also replenished as needed. Water pressure is good and showers/toilets clean as well. As for location, it is located to everything you want and need in Santorini. Lots of shopping, restaurants, and a grocery store all within a 5-10 minute walk. The only warning I would give is if you have problems with walking up and down stairs it may not be the place for you. Otherwise, this place is a 10/10 🤩
