Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporeWiFi weak in the room ( good to rest without WiFi, ha ha)
Stayed here during the off peak season in late November. Pick up was arranged with Alma for 50 Euros. They were flexible with the pick up as I managed to change to an earlier flight and they adjusted the pick up time. As other reviewers hv mentioned, there are steps from the drop off point, so good to get them to arrange the pick up who will also help with the carrying of the suitcases - which is much appreciated, thank you Billy ! (Ambi’s husband). We were greeted by a basket of local snacks & goodies with a bottle of red wine and a bottle of ouzo. We will try to recreate a pasta dish with Ouzo (which we ate in a restaurant in Oia). Kitchenette available with toaster etc. The villa was most lovely - 2 bedrooms with a double bed in each room. We enjoyed the 2 terraces - the first one for our breakfast and the 2nd higher terrace to join the sunset view. The warm jacuzzi was much appreciated especially after our 10k hike from Fira to Oia - it was rather windy but we did it! The sunset is best viewed from the higher terrace in the villa - most lovely, surreal and peaceful. (Fewer tourists as off peak season). The nearest restaurant Fanari (1 min walk) from the villa has a lovely sunset view too . We booked a 6 hr car tour tour around the island on the 2nd day as we had a short stay, this was guided by Gent (also a relative) and it gave a good feel of the island. I had accidentally left a couple of items behind in the car which was retrieved for me later. Thank you ! Overall, it was a wonderful start to our vacation and certainly different from my last visit to Santorini when it was just a half day visit while on a cruise. The service from Ambi, Billy and Gent were wonderful and hospitable and Ambi was most responsive to our WhatsApp queries. Highly recommended !

United StatesI loved it all! But certain things to note: there are steep, uneven steps to the location. Please wear good shoes ( not flip flops). Steep steps to go up to the terrace. No paper in toilets (applies to all Greece). If you plan to cook, there is a little hot plate but, limited. Honestly, I have no complaints.
Omg! Where do I begin? This was the most luxurious, most beautifully located two-bedroom cave house in Santorini, right in the heart of sunset views to the caldera. Alma, who runs the private property was phenomenal as was all the staff. Friendly, kind, attentive. They helped us with everything, last minute bookings and drives. The place was immaculate, private, well-stocked daily and I can’t praise our stay enough. Close to everything and yet, quiet and not too much foot traffic passing by. Truly five-stars.

The whole Santorini island makes a living on tourism. Hotels here are very competitive. The area we live are all villas for tourists, so the location of Ambi is as good as other cave villas. (Unless you really care about the sunset view when you use the outdoor jacuzzi, I have to say when we were in the jacuzzi, half of the sunset view was blocked by a wall in front us. We only used the jacuzzi once, so it didn’t bother us that much. We could enjoy the sunset view on the two private terraces.) The villa is very cozy, clean and beautiful. Living in this cute white house is a unique and refreshing experience. I felt that I could calm down and recharge myself here. The service of Alma and Billy, of course, is of the highest level. If you want to have a relaxing holiday without worrying about doing research and booking all schedules by yourself, Alma can help you arrange everything. She helped us book a van tour and a catamaran cruise, which were all good with a fair price. She was very responsive. Basically you can ask her to help you nail everything. Billy was a amazing tour guide. He knew all the attractions and hidden gems of the island. He also helped us carry suitcases, take photos and even take care of my 3-year-old son when we were taking photos. I highly recommend Ambi for all the families who want to have a relaxing holiday.

Alma and Billy took incredbile care of us. We were celebratiing our 40th wedding anniversary and they made it very special. Even did laundry for us, carried our luggage, and put up with some tension I had do to driving and parking with the utmost grace. The placxe is incredible with amazing views and they provided daily cleaning, coffee and cream and lots of extras like snacks and wine.

United StatesThe villa is very clean and spacious. The beds are very comfortable and clean. I love how you have 2 balconies to watch the sunset from and enjoy the views instead of finding and sharing spots with other tourists. You can also just watch it while enjoying the hot tub. If you need transportation to and from the airport, just contact Alma to arrange that for you. I love this place! Thanks to Alma and Bili for the hospitality and making our first trip to Santorini memorable and fun.

We were met with warm welcome from Billy at the airport. He helped us with our luggages. Alma was at the villa to greet us on arrival. There was also some snacks and a bottle of Prosecco as welcome present for us. The villa was beautiful, very clean and boasts of scenic views, a hot tub and two viewing decks with lounge chairs and patio dining. The villa has a lovely kitchen/dining/living room open layout, with two separate bedrooms. The kitchen was equipped with what you need to make family dinner. Alma kept the villa tidy, provided us with fresh towels and replenished our coffee pods everyday. We felt very well rested. Because it has a cave house design, the airconditioning unit in the living room was more than enough to keep the bedrooms cool, too. Gen who was our driver on our day tour was very friendly and informative. Both Gen and Billy made sure our mum, who is 70, was always comfortable and well taken cared of during our trips. I highly recommend Ambi Villa to everyone. Their whole team works very well to make your stay memorable.
