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.).

FranceDouble bed was fine. Two extra beds were simple unacceptable. Mattresses were inexistant. Worst beds possible ever! Iron rods were hurting our backs. Very nice owner tried to fix the problem but it got worse. You would never even believe that such beds exist. It was surreal!
Lovely Location. Excellent owner- host. Spacious Room. Very close to Oia. Lovely garden. Very quiet. Nice layout.

GreeceIt is a bit far from Oia center, and it's best of you had a car. I missed that there was no tea nor coffee in the room for the guests to use, no welcome drinks either.
The whole stay was great. The room was nice, neat and very clean and it had a really nice decoration. The balcony was spacious, had a great view, you could easily watch the sunset from there. The pool was also nice, clean, sunbeds were avaiable. I also loved the garden. The kitchen had a fridge, coffee maker it was well equipped.

AustraliaIf you don't have a car there is a relatively steep walk to Oia which is nearby. Not recommended in the heat. Bus transport is available one way for a return journey to the accommodation.
George, the property owner/manager, was one of the best hosts encountered during our two weeks in Greece. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He provided friendly and personal service combined with good advice about the facilities, transport, and moving around Santorini. We loved his friendly dog and pet parrot.

PolandThe air-conditioner could be placed in a different part of the apartment as it did not cover the bedroom sufficiently. Our children complained about the uncomfortable mattresses in the living room. Other than that, I have nothing to note.
Situated in a quiet area, away from the traffic, but still close to Oia, coupled with the refreshing northern breeze, it had everything a family needed. A very nice swimming pool suitable for kids with shaded areas too. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, the hosts were there for any assistance and to fulfill any breakfast wishes. A true value for money. Thank you!

SpainWe absolutely loved our stay at Santo Margarita. The location is great, just a short walk from a bus stop with easy connections to Fira and Oía – perfect if you’re not renting a car. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and everything worked perfectly – air conditioning, hot water, Wi-Fi etc. You can tell the place is well taken care of. But the highlight was definitely the owner, who was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Always available for anything we needed, and made us feel truly welcome. I 100% recommend staying here and would definitely come back. A wonderful place to enjoy Santorini!

United KingdomOutside grounds were unkempt, with overgrown trees and shrubs obstructing paths around the apartment building and pool. Swimming pool & loungers looked dirty and we would not have went into the pool. Room had been recently renovated but not to a good standard. Concrete bed base not a good idea. Sharp corner caused cut to leg within an hour of arriving. Table in room was rusty, no bedside lamps. On the balcony the drying rail was rusty and unusable. No mirror of any kind in the bedroom/kitchen. Dead batteries in the TV controls and in the safe (which was not attached to the wall?) Smell of smoke from other guests next door. Small kitchen area, very ill equipped with dead insects on the shelves where crockery and glasses were stored. Most importantly there was NO HOT WATER in the shower or sinks, so we had to shower cold. When we complained George told us to wait 10 mins and try again, this made no difference. The bathroom décor was very dark and gloomy, very small, toilet area, and would cause difficulty for some people. Nowhere to set or store toiletries. Shower area very dark and not lit. It is a good 30 mins walk all uphill to Oia. The road is very busy with little or no footpaths so very dangerous particularly at night. A car is really needed, but then you struggle to park anywhere in Oia in the evening with the sunset visitors everywhere. Oia area is overpriced, overrated and with crowds swelling through the small streets, not recommended as a place to stay in Santorini unless you have a lot of money ! Breakfast, which we had as part of our deal was served in a dirty outside area with dirty tables and chairs, and prepared in an outbuilding, which from what we could see did not look hygienic. Not recommended. In our case we had booked and paid for 4 nights. We only stayed for one night as the standard of accommodation was unacceptable. No refund was forthcoming from the host. We found much better and cheaper accommodation in Kamari
Good communication with the host George. Nice sunset view from the shared balcony Location short drive from Oia Bed linens were clean.

Amazing host! George made sure that my stay was as comfortable as possible:) I was there for work so I needed a comfortable, clean and relaxing place for a week and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The pool was nice and breakfast was great. The location is around 20 minutes walking distance to Oia but George was very helpful in case I needed a lift to Oia The hospitality of George and his family is definitely the highlight of my trip Highly recommended 10/10 Thank you George and see you again soon :)
