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.).

PortugalI have never experienced such incredible pampering and warm reception as I did in Elysian. From the moment we made our reservation to our late-night arrival, we were continuously supported and promptly received answers to all our inquiries. Upon reaching the destination at dawn, we were greeted with exceptional hospitality. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Angelina for her invaluable assistance and unwavering kindness. I am genuinely astounded by the level of service provided by Elysian

Saudi Arabia- There is a bit of a walk going in Finikia and out, but its not too bad. - main bus stop is 15 min walk - be sure to bring your own amenities as there is no turnaround service
the villa had a private pool which was great. provided much privacy. Finikia is an area was quite and relaxing., yet near by to Oai and only a 15-20 min walk. there is only a few restaurants in Finikia but all has very good reviews

United StatesOur villa was excellent. We had a plunge pool, which our kids loved. The staff members were unbelievably friendly. They made reservations and arranged rides with ease and communicated with you in person or immediately on whatsapp. The breakfasts were delicious. They were delivered to us/ set up on our table to have a family meal while enjoying the morning sun... all at our desired time.

The Elysian was the perfect place for our stay in Santorini. We loved the private plunge pool, the views, the location and having breakfast served to our villa each morning was amazing. All the staff were fantastic and really made our stay special. They were so attentive and ensured we had everything we needed even before we arrived.

United KingdomWe felt like the outdoor area wasn’t private enough but when walking round santorini not very many balconies/outdoor areas were private Our room was a 10 minute steep/cobbled walk from the street which was annoying doing this twice a day.
The luxury cave room was beautiful, the pictures do make it look bigger than it was but that wasn’t a problem . Staff were so helpful, we used what’s app so anything we wanted was brought to our room prompt. For example it was raining and George staff member brought us an umbrella straight away. Also the bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely surprise which I ended up having 3 bottles in total in my stay which was a lovely touch. The jacuzzi outside was so peaceful and the views were amazing. Fresh towels and room cleaned everyday. Fresh water also. Had the option to pick breakfast every morning from a menu and what time you would like this delivering to your room and you just organized this through what’s app. Would love to return and stay here again

United StatesNothing. Everything was perfect.
We absolutely loved everything about the Elysian. To begin, the staff in the reception are absolutely incredible. They are extremely attentive and provide outstanding hospitality. They are personable and genuine. It’s clear that their main priority is making your stay Santorini an unforgettable experience. Similarly, working with them regarding any request is seamless. For instance, we had a canceled flight which caused us to arrive to Santorini a day late, outside the reception hours. Still, someone met us within minutes of our arrival to retrieve our luggage and transport it to our room. Additionally, as a result of our canceled flight, we arrived to Elysian at the time we had a massage scheduled. The reception coordinated with the massage company to see us an hour later, allowing us to shower and eat before getting the massage. Prior to our arrival, booking the couples massage was very simple since the staff are very quick to respond/fulfill any request you have. The massage was the best I have ever had and 100% recommend this as part of your stay. They came to our room and gave us the massage on our porch! It was awesome. Lastly, during the second night of our stay, the reception coordinated a hot tub experience at their sister property. The views from the hot tub were incredible and the sister hotel is absolutely beautiful. I would also recommend this! Overall, the staff strive to make you feel like royalty which they certainly did for us. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the guests and love what they do. We felt at home and were very sad to leave :((. Regarding the hotel itself, it’s extremely clean and spacious. The view from the room is beautiful and you can see the sunset from your porch. They provide a complimentary bottle of wine and even left us with a surprise treat one night. The walk to the entrance of Oia is only 10-15 minutes. Finally, the breakfast is delicious. You simply message them on Whatsapp and they deliver it to your room.

United KingdomThe photos on the website gave me the impression that our private pool had a direct view of the sea, unfortunately that was not true there were buildings that the pool overlooked. Since it's Santorini even this seemed picturesque.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hospitality was probably the best I've experienced in Europe so far. Milos and Sergei along with the others helped us make reservations, suggested places to eat at an took very good care of us. The villa was very nice as well, secluded and modern. We loved our private pool too! location is very convenient just a short walk away from the centre of Oia and all the action yet this place in Finikia provides the right amount of peace and quiet.

Amazing staff. They really thought of everything. Took such good care of us, we felt extremely well cared for and attended to. We didn’t have to worry about anything because they arranged everything for us including taxis to get around wherever we wanted. They even welcomed us with a nice bottle of wine which was a nice touch. They arranged for us to go to their sister site for a sunset view bc it has phenomenal views of the caldera. I would come back to Santorini just to stay at this hotel.

United KingdomWe couldn't be happier with our stay at Elysian Santorini, the rooms were as described and very spacious and luxurious, I especially loved the cave shower which was huge and very well finished. The bedding was very good and extremely comfortable and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. The breakfast delivered to your door was a lovely touch and great way to wake up and relax with wonderful views of the sea.

Saudi ArabiaOur room had the private heated pool inside which made it extra humid which can be a problem for some people having breathing issues like me, but when we informed the team they took quick action and tried their best by adding more dehumidifier (there was already 2 in the room but they added extra device) and kept checking on us the whole day to make sure we are having a comfortable stay…
The experience we had in this property during our 2 nights was the best we had in Santorini, and here I am comparing with one of the 5 stars luxury properties in Oia, santorini that we stayed for another 2 days also, I mean the other hotel was also nice in location-wise and its view and luxurious facilities but what made our experience in Elysian santorini more special and exceptional and I would rate it as the best in santorini, is the amazing team working there, they take care of you and make you feel welcomed from the moment you check in and even after you check out… It was outstanding. We were very happy with their helpfulness and hospitality and kindness and generosity.. I can’t find the right words to tell how exceptional the service they provided to us was, they literally make you feel home. We also loved the wine they provided in the room and the Baklava with fruits platter. Breakfast was very delicious and they provide nice varieties. view of the room and quietness of the place is amazing for relaxation…

GermanyThe pool was colder the last two days of our stay, so it wasn't nice to stay in there. Maybe due to the colder outside temperatures.
This was probably one of the best experiences my girlfriend (now fiance) and I ever had. Upon arrival at the Finika parking, we were met by the Portier who transported our luggage to the room. We got a free upgrade with a larger pool and a great sunset view. The room had everything we needed and was clean. We also used the laundry service, which is fairly priced and did a great job. The breakfast was good, but often a bit too much food for us. There are only five options to choose from, so it could get repetitive if you stay there for a longer time. For us (4 nights) it was fine. The location in Finika is probably the best you can get on Santorini. The small village is charming and quiet. There are three restaurants very close by. There is also a small super market, which has most of the things one might need. It is only a 10min walk to the beginning of Oia, where we often were overwhelmed by the crowds. The communication upfront and also during the stay was phenomenal! I proposed to my girlfriend in Imerovigli during our stay and wanted non-alcoholic champagne (pregnant girlfriend) for when we get back to the hotel and they went out of their way to organize it. Furthermore, they were always quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the room or information about the island via WhatsApp. And they made every request we had possible. We are very happy to have been to your hotel. Thank you for this great stay! My fiance and I were sad when we had to leave!

United StatesThe accomodations exceeded my expectations. It was just close enough to oia to walk. And just far enough to be away from the Hussle and bussle of the town so it also felt private and quiet. The 2 bedroom villa would be great for 2 couples traveling together. The staff was great. I received good communication before travel during my delay and during my stay. I'm known to be critical as that's the only way to improve. I have none for this place. Really sad out plane could not land due to weather so we missed a day. Nothing the facility could do.

Elysian Santorini was a perfect spot. It was close to Oia, but far enough away that you didn't have to deal with the hustle and bustle of the crowds. The staff went above and beyond at all times to make sure we were taken care of. They were genuine and caring. The small town of Finikas has three great restaurants if you want to stay close and the staff will help you plan, organize, and execute any plans for the day that you need! Oh! and did I mention the pool that was perfectly heated for the cooling season?! Also, the shower was amazing and the bed was comfortable!
