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.).

Everyone was so welcoming and nice! We were in a great location to walk to restaurants and shops.

United StatesLiving room couch was uncomfortable but that's it. I preferred to sit out on the patio anyway. Everything else was fantastic and of definitely, stay there again!
Super clean and cute apartment. Loved the patio area to sit out with a glass of wine in the evenings. Location is great, on a quiet walkway just a couple of minutes from the Caldera view in the less crowded part of town. So you can just pop around the corner for sunset!. Mini markets close by for snacks. Fantastic value!. Hosts helped arrange transport to and from the ferry port.

Balcony, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, friendly host.... Beautiful view from kitchen window and balcony. Location is good, Firostefarni is located in between imerovigli and Fira; Plenty of restaurants nearby including the famous Mama Thira Tavern. Tips: If you plan to take public bus to Oia, you will need to walk or take a bus from Firostefani (bus comes every hourly) to Fira, then switch to another bus from Fira to Oia. (2 separate bus tickets, buy from bus conductor, not the driver). If you want to walk from Fira bus station to this apartment - Google map seems to be misleading (it says 2km? ). It is better if you use the main road (the road in front of McDonalds) all the way towards Firostefani bus station instead of walking in the cobblestoned alleys. Distances for both main road vs. alley are about the same, but much much much more comfortable using main road where you can drag your luggages.

CroatiaKitchen appliances (specially the cooker) quite outdated, but we did not need it.
Excellent position! Near the caldera walking path, but far enough from the crowd so you can have a peace and jump fast into the epicenter of events and the sunset viewpoint. Just what we were looking for. The apartment was larger that we thought and inner yard with table was nice to have. Hosts very nice and friendly. We managed to communicate despite their bad english and they had answers to all our questions. We especially appreciate early check in and possibility of storing our bags. We would definitely come back.

AustraliaNothing.
A roomy comfortable apartment with a balcony overlooking the island and sea. A gorgeous viewing spot of the caldera was only 150 metres away. It was a 15 minute pleasant easy walk to Fira, but far enough away to avoid the tourist crowd's hustle and bustle, also close to cafes and supermarkets. Every morning and afternoon we'd see a line of donkeys trailing along the pedestrian walkway to Fira behind the apartment.

United KingdomShower is serviceable but low pressure. It didn’t spoil our trip.
The First Floor apartment was spacious with a double room with access to a sizable balcony with table and chairs. The living room has a comfy single bed with a sofa bed also available and also a door to the balcony, which has views out to the east coast . Both these rooms had effective aircon. The bathroom is clean with towels and shower gel provided. Location in Fierostefani was great just a few minutes walk downhill to the centre of Thira where the port is. One minute walk the other way leads to the most magical view for the sunset which you can watch from a restaurant or bar or just sitting on a wall. No need to spend loads on booking tables. Lady owner is sweet and kind.

United StatesKaterina exemplifies authentic Greek hospitality! She was a very kind and generous host. We appreciated her arranging transfers for us from the airport and to the port with a reliable and friendly driver. Her property was near all the action, yet a nice respite from the touristy chaos of Santorini. It was quite spacious and comfortable as well.
