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 reviewAko ste gledali one klipove sa Santorinija kako ljudi plivaju u pećini sa veličanstvenim pogledom, e to je jedan od tih hotela! Dobijate iskustvo da spavate u pećini sa vlastitim privatnim bazenom. Čitava soba je doživljaj! Zbog bazena, predivan pogled na kupolu plave crkve dođe sekundaran ovdje. Već od 7h ujutru se oko vas formiraju redovi turista koji čekaju da se slikaju tamo gdje ste vi smješteni.

Verified reviewSophia Oia is an exceptional place to stay while in Oia. The suites are just so quaint and special from the moment you arrive you are looked after by all the staff. All staff were professional so pleasant and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The view from the suites is just unbelievable absolutely stunning as the blue domes are right in front of you. You could just sit in your suite all day being mesmerised by the view and then a few steps away you have all you could ask from with bars restaurants shops. Just a wonderful place to stay. You will not be disappointed if you book and stay with Sophia Oia

Verified reviewThe property itself was beautiful — clean, comfortable, and perfectly located to enjoy the stunning views that Santorini is famous for. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and it was clear that the team takes pride in maintaining a high standard. We’re already dreaming about our return trip, and when we do come back to Santorini, we’ll definitely be staying here again. Thank you, Cleopatra, for making our time on the island unforgettable!

Verified reviewThe location was fairly central.
There was a breakfast menu given but no information on when that breakfast would be served or where. We had one person who was contacting us on whatsapp but never met us. There was one bell boy who brought our things to the room but was late when we were checking out and so we had to drag all the things out ourselves. There is no reception area where we were greeted. There was one old key provided to us. No toiletries were given and when a dental kit was requested we were informed they didn't have it. Room was very dark and bathroom had one light.

Verified reviewThe view and location were fabulous! Picture perfect! Comfortable room which was quite well appointed despite being very small. Spa was quite private and had the most picturesque view. A little difficult to get in and out of though.
The breakfast was terrible! Shocking value. Wet sloppy cold eggs were delivered with some other scraps with it. Certainly not value for money. The staff were only available to contact via What'sApp and we did not hear back from them for hours after trying to contact for assistance when extremely sick with food poisoning. Was confusing as to which room was booked - this wasn't clear in the booking - could have been my mistake but we got a different room than we thought.

Verified reviewLocation was fantastic and overall room is well maintained. The cleaning staff is very helpful! The location is a landmark so entry/exit can be highly stressful for families during peak tourist traffic hours, which is all day essentially. We didn't mind that or pay attention to that that much. It may get to nerves for some people :).
Difficult to reach host after normal daylight hours. Host will communicate only at their convenience and only to check for services that they can upsell. Won't really respond if there is any real issue. We had an issue with the spa jets which resolved by itself after sometime. Host was unreachable during that entire time and if the issue didn't resolve itself, it would've been a headache all through the night. Host responded back only the next morning stating that they were glad it got resolved by itself :). Calling/Texting won't help and they don't communicate by Booking.com, they only communicate on WhatsApp privately so even Booking won't know or can track all the issues. But they do maintain the property well so that there are no issues for the most part. We don't mean to say the host is no good but can be better if they were prompt in communication and used trackable communication via Booking/Expedia or other travel booking provider's messaging services than resorting private chats and not responding in a timely manner!

Verified reviewThe location by the blue domes. That alone saved us hours of waiting in line to take those iconic pictures. The splurge was worth it!! The service, pick up from airport, just all around a great place to stay in Santorini!!
The lines of crowds waiting to take their pictures. Quite cumbersome going back n forth through them some even commenting how we’re trying to cut in line. But letting them know we’re going to our hotel was was a great relief and we were grateful to have stayed there.

Verified reviewThis is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed in. Absolutely stunning room and views. Plunge pool was amazing and we used it daily. Room was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Staff was SO helpful and kind and always text back very fast. They even carried our luggage to the room for us which is definitely a hard job. The location is perfect, right next to shops, restaurants, and taxi pickup location. Nothing about this property will disappoint you
Many steps to/from Main Street but in oai that is very common so we didn’t mind.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay in Santorini! Deepak and Siri were absolutely amazing – they made our experience seamless by helping us with check-in and check-out, and even managed our luggage to and from the taxi. The views from the hotel were breathtaking, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Highly recommend this place for a memorable and stress-free stay!
A couple of things that could be improved: the cups we used weren’t replaced during our stay, and there was an extra charge for towels, which was a bit unexpected. Overall, still a lovely place with great service from the staff, and we’d recommend it for the views and location!

Verified reviewLocation is great! Good view of the blue done church.
On the first day, the rain brought a lot of dust to the exterior of the property. It was dirty and the staff did not clean up the place even after we feedback to them. The outdoor jacuzzi was basically unusable. What is worst is that there is not water supply in the room for 2 days. The staff kept giving excuses that the whole area was affected but apparently it was not true cos our neighbor property does have water to even clean the exterior area. It was a bad experience interacting with the staff who is not responsive and kept giving excuses for the short coming. At the very least there should be a refund for the poor service and bad amenities (no water)!
