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.).

Verified reviewAmazing friendly staff. Cleanliness was exceptional. Considering this hotel isn’t brand new, it gave a brand new cleanliness vibe. Food was amazing. Little extras in the room were perfect. Overall this was a stunning hotel and would highly recommend. For us personally it was in a perfect location, just outside of the main village of Oia. The complimentary shuttle was great to go visit Oia but we were there for a relaxing short break and this hotel was perfect for that. Took the complimentary shuttle down to Ammoudi Bay, which is a must visit, and took the water taxi to the little fish restaurant which was lovely. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families with small children as the pool was infinity and a bit cold
nothing bad to say

Verified reviewWarm and professional check-in. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The villa was spacious, extremely clean, well-organized, and included a private heated pool — a true luxury touch. Hotel facilities were top-quality and beautifully maintained.
The breakfast is fully à la carte with no buffet. While the food quality was high, the variety was very limited — especially for pastries, fruits, and child-friendly options. For example, basic purées for kids were missing. The breakfast didn't quite meet the expectations for a hotel of this class and price. Our two-bedroom villa was a duplex that goes downward with stairs at the entrance, which can be challenging for families with toddlers or strollers. Despite the stunning property, the design of the duplex and the stairs made it a bit less convenient for us with a child.

Verified reviewAmazing Hotel grounds! This place is absolutely incredible and is a peace of heaven on earth. Everything is spectacular from the room, pools, restaurants, staff and service and all the unbelievable views, especially of the sunsets.
There was absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. You get what you pay for and some more. Even though it is not very walkable from the town center, they provide free hotel shuttles in beautiful Mercedes vans.

Verified reviewAbsolutley stunning hotel. Dream come true, bucket list place, and definitely the highlight of our trip. Superb customer service - the staff go above and beyond. Love the Whatsapp service for their concierge. We used this to make reservations, book excursions, sort out shuttles (see below). The hotel provided a shuttle into Oia which worked perfectly. Very clean, timely, drivers were super friendly. Oia was only a 5min drive, and very easy to pop to town for an hour. They organised the most fantastic semi private yacht cruise for us. Both pools are GORGEOUS. Cocktails by the pool are an absolute must (although a bit pricey, but that's to be expected for the quality and the amazing setting). Good quality gym. Room very spacious with gorgeous views and lovely pool. Grounds in general are so green and well tendered. It was almost unbelievable to be in this little slice of Eden surrounded by Oia.
Nothing!! The hotel was a dream and although expensive, we thought it was worth every penny. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special place in Santorinin.
