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’s literally near the bus station, 1 min walk upstairs. They also offered to use a pool at their different hotel but it is 400 meters away. Comfy bed.
They don’t provide towels. There’s also no reception. The bedroom does not lock and the main door was not locked the whole day we were there. A bit security concern as there’s a restaurant on the first floor.
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the convenient location of our hostel as well as the comfort of the bed. We’re also glad you appreciated the access to the pool at our sister property. Regarding your concerns: although we don’t operate a reception, you can always reach us at any time via WhatsApp, and we are happy to assist you whenever needed. As for the entrance, each guest is provided with keys for the main door, ensuring that you can lock and unlock it at your convenience. The area is very safe, and in fact, having the restaurant downstairs contributes to making the surroundings even more secure. We truly value your input, as it helps us improve the experience for all our guests. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.

Verified reviewAmazing hostel, it’s like a house with only 8 beds, a kitchen, living room and a terrace. You can use the infinity pool of their sister venue 5 mins away. Diana is available anytime if you have any doubts, she was very nice!
I loved everything!

Verified reviewGreat location, next to the bus stop, close to everything in Oia. Kitchen is alright. The staff is amazing, Diana made me feel really welcome. There is access to a nearby swimming pool, with decent prices, had an amazing and relaxing holidays thanks to that!
Most of the guests were male of Indian - Pakistan - Asian descent, which made them quiet. Not the best balance I am accustomed to in hostels, but well, whatever. My bed was slightly worse than the pictures, and it had a bit of a wall on top which I banged myself at least three times (thank God I have a strong crane). The air-conditioning in the room was just enough, at the maximum setting, while the kitchen and common area isn't cooled at all. Overall I had a good time and I would probably visit again, if on a budget.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the location, found the kitchen convenient, and that you felt welcome and relaxed during your stay, it was a pleasure having you! We're glad you also enjoyed the access to the nearby pool, which is indeed a great way to unwind during the Santorini summer. We’d like to gently clarify that our hostel is open to everyone, and we warmly welcome guests from all backgrounds, nationalities, and cultures. We believe diversity is part of the unique charm of hostels and are proud to host such a wide range of respectful, curious travelers. Thank you also for noting the bed layout and air-conditioning feedback, we’re always working to improve the space and will take this into account for future updates. We hope to see you again, and we truly appreciate that you’d consider staying with us on your next budget trip to Santorini!

Verified reviewThe location in the heart of oia not far from most facilities, I rarely saw the staff which gave an autonomy and privacy to the place. The kitchen was great and very well equipped.
