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 reviewClose to the center, actually right next to it. Verry big spaces, big bathroom with brand new and modern washing machine (with dryer), average spaced kitchem (but with a size more than enough), sofa bed verry suitable for sleeping, good wifi, all looks and feels brand new and modern.
Though we didn’t request it, we didn’t have a towel change during our 5 nights there. Don’t inow if we should’ve requested it or not, we made use of the washing machine provided anyways.

Central location as it is near the airport and the bus terminal which takes you to all the other locations in Santorini. Lots of restaurants 5 min walk away open until late. Lots of mini marts to buy supplies. Great stay! Would highly recommend!

Verified reviewGreat location, a few minutes walk to the city center, where we found a bunch of restaurants, shops and mini markets. The apartments are well designed and tastefully decorated, super clean with all the things we need. The AC works very well in cold weather. The host himself is very responsive, welcomed us in person and gave us a lot of useful information. And he even let us stay in one apartment for free until we leave for the airport in late afternoon. It’s a wonderful

Verified reviewVery nice, modern-designed apartment with everything you need! Well-equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom with a washing machine. The location is perfect - close to the main bus stop and city center. The communication with the host was exceptional from the very beginning - Nikitas is very kind and caring! We had a small problem with a lack of electricity, and he came in just 5 minutes to check what was the issue (it turned out it was a general short power outage in the area, so nothing connected to the apartment). We highly recommend it!

Verified reviewExcellent location, close to everything. Direct location on a main road for easy and safe access to what the town has to offer and at the same time quiet ( due to good soundproofing) and private. Clean, modern apartment tastefully decorated, adequate bathroom with washing machine. Nice entrance to the building. Appreciated crisp white sheets, white towels, white pillows. Keep it up Grand Mere Calliope
Everything was perfect…just as a friendly feedback, I found the sofa to be hard, but at the same time others might prefer just that

Verified reviewThis is the most comfortable stay throughout our trip in Greece. Sparkly clean, well-furnished with keen attention paid to details, centrally located - just a short walk to bus station and restaurants. And top it off with the very kind and warm host who is the most helpful and happy to share about the house. Would stay here again the next time we come Fira!
Honestly, nothing! :)

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay at the Grand-Mere Calliope! First, the host (and apartment owner), Nikitas communicated with us extensively prior to our arrival at the property. He arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and take us to the property. And he was waiting at the property when we arrived. He showed us around the apartment and sat down in the living room to just chat with us. This made us feel very special that he would take quite a bit of time to get to know us. Many snacks and a bottle of wine were provided for my wife and I as well. Second, the apartment was FANTASTIC! Nikitas recently remodeled all the apartments in his building and they turned out wonderfully! Nikitas' pride regarding his apartment is evident with the recent remodel. Top materials and craftsmanship was used in the remodel. The apartment is well laid-out and very functional. The apartment was very quiet and close to the center of Fira; just a ten minute walk to the middle of town. We will definitely stay at Nikitas' property again in the future!
Nothing!

Verified reviewThis place has exceeded our expectations. The owner personally welcomed us, showed us around and shared with us the history of the house. I was impressed with the architecture of the apartment and how much thought went into designing it. They thought about everything from a fully equipped kitchen to a washmachine/dryer. The apartment was also very spacious. It felt like we could stay there forever. The location was amazing as it was only 5min walk from the local bus station as well as to Fira centre where you will find all the shops, restaurants and amazing cliff views. We would higly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santorini and want to enjoy a comfortable stay in a home away from home.
