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 reviewIt was centrally located near a bud stop and a short distance to shops snd restaurants. There is a grocery store on the bottom floor with everything you need. The place was very spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped and refrigerator stocked with water, juices, yogurt, fruits, cold cuts, and eggs. The views from the windows are spectacular. The unit has a mice patio with jacuzzi.

Verified reviewThis comfortable and well equipped Villa had the most amazing view, we were blown away with how stunningly beautiful it was. It was in a perfect position on the edge of Oia , we were in a peaceful spot away from the crowds, but only 2 minutes walk to the restaurants and shops. We had the caldera, Oia village and sunset view from our terrace. The apartment had all we needed for a wonderful stay, comfortable beds, lovely breakfast and extremely kind and helpful hosts. The fridge was full when we arrived and topped up during our stay. We can highly recommend Compass Villa.
Nothing, we really didn’t want to leave.

Verified reviewCompass Villa has an excellent location in Oia. It is located just at the beginning of Oia, on the first floor of Perivolas market. It has direct access to the main road with superb privacy. Not many stairs, which makes it ideal for families with small children. Villa has all the possible amenities that you can think of, and it gives you a home-like feel. Every day, a lady (apologies for not remembering her name) from Perivolas market refills the food (bread, vegetables, fruits, milk, juice, butter, cheese, jam, honey, nutella, teabags, coffee, eggs, cake, snacks, water etc) and also offer to change linen and do cleaning. Our host Evi is exceptional in facilitating guests and always willing to go beyond. She made sure that we should enjoy our holiday to the best and helped us organize private minivan and catamaran cruise tours on extremely short notice, which we really enjoyed. Overall, it was a fantastic short trip to Santorini, which definitely tops our holidays till now, and, of course, staying in Compass villa was the main factor along with the natural unique beauty of Santorini. We will definitely come back soon. Thank you, Evi, for hosting us 😊.

Verified reviewAbsolutely beautiful location and space. Felt very luxurious, but still quite affordable. Loved the rooms and all of the amenities. There are great views of the caldera from a private deck (with hot tub). The host was very friendly and provided lots of snacks, wine, and breakfast options. The location was super close to everything we wanted to see in Oia.

Verified reviewBeautiful apartment, well decorated and with an amazing view on the caldera. We liked the proximity to Oia’s center without being in the crowds (you can walk to the sunset viewing point it’s 30min away). The hosts are very nice and fill your fridge every day with plenty of food - we frequently had a light lunch on the terrace at home which was really convenient. The hot tub on the terrasse feels cool given the outside heat, but you can also go to the nearby hotel’s pool (you just need to buy drinks or food to be allowed). The appartement is on the second floor of the owners’ supermarket it is quiet despite being close to the road. The walking path on the other side is sufficiently below the terrace so you don’t get to see the passing tourists. Overall great experience, we had a very relaxing stay in this beautiful villa
Nothing. Was pricey, but everything is in Oia. Compared to similar hotels with views, pool and terrasse, Compass Villa offers larger space.

Verified reviewOur family of five really enjoyed our stay at Compass Villa. The owners were so friendly and hospitable! We arrived very late after flight delays and he could see that our kids were hungry, so he let them go and pick out whatever snacks they wanted in the market below. The refrigerator in the kitchen was fully stocked every day so we could cook a full breakfast. The location was perfect. There were incredible views from the balcony and the bedroom windows. Throughout the stay, they were great with communication and asked whether we needed help arranging activities or transfers.
No washer, but laundry service is available or you could hand wash and hang it on the provided clotheslines on one of the many balconies.

Verified reviewComfortable apartment with incredible views out into the caldera and sunset views from the side terrace! Super friendly hostess and great hospitality by the owners and staff who run the market downstairs. The people went above and beyond!
We didn’t realize the villa was situated right on the main road. Sometimes got a little loud during high traffic times. The kitchen could use a little extra cleaning and perhaps a few more items for eating in and cooking. But I imagine most people only stay for 2-3 days and tend to eat out most of the time - like we did.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect - easy to relax on the balcony and access the main pathway. Fully stocked refrigerator allowed for us to easily make breakfast and lunch. The size of the apartment was perfect for two couples to share. Breathtaking View! Evi was very helpful with local information and arranging transportation to the airport for our departure.
A few things weren't functioning properly: The doors to the balcony were broken so unable to access balcony from bedroom, the toilet in one bathroom ran and the shower didn't drain well.
