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.).

BelgiumWe really enjoyed our one week holiday at Thira’s Dolphin. Our 4 pers accomodation was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Two separate rooms each of them airconditioned. The breakfast was fine. Not like in a huge hotel with an giant buffet but for this number of rooms and according to our expectations there was enough variety. We loved the multi cereal bagels and the cream cheese with honey. The owners were discrete but available if you needed them. The pool is phantastic: great beds, every day clean pool towels and swimming with your eyes on a church tower and old venetian castle. Unique! Also the views on the caldera and sea were astonishing! Akrotiri center by foot takes only a few minutes. There you can find Some nice restaurants. Also at the harbour of Akrotiri we ate in very good taverns. Red Beach very nearby. We would highly recommend Thira’sDolphin if you go to Santorini. Oia and Phira are easy to reach by car or bus. It takes you only 40 minutes to Oia, 25 minutes to Phira.

GuamI feel the hotel management should provide free transportation services at no cost to the hotel initially. A bottle of water was only provided at check in. During room refreshment/turnover no other water bottle was provided the remaining two nights for our stay. Also at breakfast we had hoped for more of a variety option to enjoy.
Our host Ms. Thira was most gracious and welcoming as she offered as service a glass of juice for my wife and I at check-in. She recommended some points of interests and information regarding the island of Santorini. Quiet, historic,refreshing and beautifully manicured property.

United KingdomBreakfast could have been a little more plentiful, by comparison to other Greek island accommodation. Staff weren’t overly friendly, albeit satisfactory. Frustratingly, to make a coffee in the the room, it was necessary to move the “hospitality tray” that the kettle was connected to, to actually plug it in.
Lovely clean pool, well located apartment within walking distance of some nice restaurants. Car needed to visit Thira & Oia Plenty of free parking

United KingdomNothing to dislike at all. My one and only negative point is what may possibly have been a WiFi unit in the room (11) located near the ceiling which had a blue light that could not be covered or turned off, and at night cast a pallid glow across the room. I shall mention this to Kypriati.
This property has an excellent location almost at the top of Akrotiri village behind a beautiful church and the old Venetian Castle. There are stunning views of the caldera, and the sea on both sides of this part of the island, from the pool and breakfast area. It has a useful large car park, once you have negotiated the narrow winding (one-way) street accessed from the caldera/lighthouse road. The hosts/owners are friendly, charming and very helpful. Breakfast was a good selection of typical Greek provender. Akrotiri is a quiet village away from the madness of Fira and other areas of Santorini, yet still has plenty of good tavernas only a short walk downhill from Thiras Dolphin.

United KingdomThe hosts were okay but not the most hospitable and quite cold. The room only got cleaned 3 times in a week, and when it was cleaned it wasn’t to a good enough standard. A kettle was supplied which was covered in thick dust, the top of the bed was the same and there were hairs from the previous guests left in the bathroom. They complained that the room wasn’t empty one day when they wanted to clean it, however on this particular day I was sick so I was staying in, I said to them we have been out everyday, all week so they had the chance to clean it then. Be aware if you have a late flight there is no chance of getting an extension on your room, and no where to get showered and changed. We had to get showered and changed round the pool! However the hosts were nice enough to let us lock our suitcases in the reception all day.
The location was lovely. A 5 min walk to the local village of Akrotiri where the people were very pleasant. About a 20-30 min walk from the red beach. Pool area was lovely and not normally crowded, so it was easy to get beds in the morning. No matter what room you get the views are amazing. Good access to bus route that can take you around the whole island.
