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.).

Our stay at Judith's was amazing. Her two-level home, which has a large terrace on the 3rd level, offered unbelievable views of the sea and mountains, but most importantly the sunsets. The home is comfortable and nicely decorated and perfectly located, private yet within a few minute walk to countless shops and restaurants. Judith was nice and helpful, suggesting activities, arranging transportation, providing housekeeping every day, leaving us welcome snacks and drinks, and being responsive to our every question and request. She is truly a wonderful host who knows how to make her guests feel special. We highly recommend Judith to anyone thinking of spending time in Santorini.

That we could only stay 2 nights!
Unbelievable.. the view and the facilities were incredible and the location was simply the best. Watch the sunset from either patio, you have 3 levels to choose from. It’s a very popular location but we were in complete privacy, with 300degree views!! Simply amazing!!!

Really nothing but I wish I had replaced or cleaned the towels more frequently. The pool towels by Day 3 were so dirty but I couldn’t really get them cleaned since we needed them each day but I also never asked. I slipped twice. Be careful as the marble becomes very slippery when wet. Luckily no serious injuries.
Words cannot do justice for ‘By the Mill’. We splurged to get a place on the caldera and everyone loved our choice. The communication beforehand about our arrival and recommendations were top notch. When we arrived a nice basket of Greek treats were provided which was perfect for the kids to get something in their belly. The most amazing thing are the sunset views on all 3 levels of the house. People are literally fighting for spots below and above you. We could sit comfortably on the patios with direct views and enjoy. The place itself is large, showers are great, never any hot water issues (I take long showers), kitchen was well equipped but probably not enough to make large dinners etc. For example we had to make multiple servings of eggs as they wouldn’t all fit in one pan for the whole family. Wasn’t that big of a deal as the daily housekeeping helped with some of the clean up. The hot tub is warm but not hot like in the USA. The kids loved the hot tub to swim in and the size was much bigger than I had imagined from the pictures. Oia during the day can become very crowded as bus loads of people arrive from the cruise ships daily. Staying in Oia was the best in order to experience the early morning and late afternoon calmness in the town. Lastly, Santorini is just amazing. Oia is a little gem in this world and our accommodations certainly played a big part in creating some of the best memories. We tried to fit in most activities from wine tours to volcano and black/red beaches. We simply didn’t have enough time and wish we had a couple more days.

The umbrella’s on the sun deck rattle and they are located above one of the bedrooms, which can make it a little hard to sleep for the person in that bedroom.
so many things – the view, the rooms, the pool, the housekeeping from Alma, the welcome gift, the messaging from Judith, the service from Billy, the location.
