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.).

United KingdomPerhaps that there was no window in the women's dorm.
The location was within easy reach of the bus station in Oia and the taxi could bring me quite near to the hostel. It was nice that you could go up on the roof of the hostel and eat breakfast there. The owner was helpful in giving information. It was very handy that there was a fixture with a light in the bunk with a shelf for the mobile phone for charging over night.

Donna, our host, greeted us outside since I was having difficulty finding the entrance. She is a delight. Explained everything about the hostel and area. This was our first time staying as a hostel and she put us immediately at ease. The beds are very comfortable and private. Common areas are spacious with an open-air patio and rooftop deck. Common kitchen area with complementary coffee.

CanadaBathroom doors don’t lock properly to provide full privacy. Need more signs to direct you from the bus stop. Everybody (even google maps) knows Central Hostel only and send you there! Thanks to the restaurant waiter who guided me to the right direction after being sent twice to the Central Hostel. I think the female dorms needs to be securely locked.
This hostel is a decent choice at Santorini if you are a budget traveler. The location is perfect near everything. I liked the privacy of the beds. The dorm and the bathrooms are clean. The air conditioner was a blessing in hot summer days. The main entrance door is secured with a code. It’s a quiet place.

IrelandI normally do not leave reviews but I could not rave more about the hospitality shown here. The hostel is beautiful, very clean and highly modern. The bunks are spacious and a good sense of privacy with large curtains. The location could not have been more ideal, located in the centre of Oia with everything you desire to see just a few minutes walk. The host, Danna, is so kind and can not do enough to help make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would highly recommend and if I do come back to Santorini I would definitely stay here again :)

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The location is just a 30-second walk away from the bus station that runs between Fira - Oia towns (buses every hour from 7:30 am - 10:30 pm, 2 euro bus ticket). This is a private cabin-style hostel with comfortable, clean beds; they have lockers in your cabin so you can lock your valuables. Make sure you bring your padlock. The cabin has a shutter-style curtain, so you get your privacy, no noise, and AC that runs 24 hours. Bathrooms were clean. The reception lady is very hospitable. She helped me get a cheaper taxi service, as my flight arrived at 1:30 am in the night due to a delay. She arranged a cheaper taxi service for me in advance; she replied to my messages quickly on Booking.com Otherwise, to get a taxi could have been very difficult at night, and I could have paid double/triple for the cost of the transfer. She saved my money. I really appreciate her help.

CanadaBeautiful place. Clean rooms and amazing location. It’s literally a 2 min walk from the 3 blue domes view spot. The place is fairly new so everything is clean and fresh. Danna the owner was very helpful when I checked in and gave me lots of recommendations. You can tell they put a lot of care into making their guests feel like home. Clean and comfortable beds with full curtains to give you some privacy. There’s a cute courtyard for you for relax and a rooftop terrace that you can sunbath or hang your laundry.

United StatesI stayed in Oia, Santorini, and had an unforgettable experience thanks to Danna, the amazing hostel owner. From the moment I arrived, she went out of her way to make me feel welcome. She’s incredibly friendly, kind, and full of great local tips — she showed me the best places to visit and things to do around the island. We had some great conversations, and it felt like more than just a place to sleep — it was a real connection and a truly special experience. This was more than a stay, it was a highlight of my trip. Highly recommend! Blue domes is just 4 mins walk. I was able to take good pictures early in the morning haha!
