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.).

AustraliaThe climb up the steep hill to reach Fira Town ,restaurants , shops etc... was a bit of a struggle for us ( aged over 60 ) and then the walk back at night aswell...being that the Hotel is a little out of the way , walking back down the hill, in the dark ,we felt a little anxious. Other than that everything was nice.
Nice hotel, room was clean, comfortable. Nice shower, comfy bed. Small kitchenette. Nice balcony. Fay was a lovely Host, helpful and friendly, she organized our return transfer to Airport.

United KingdomThe road down to the apartments is very steep - not a problem for us but maybe useful to flag for others that may not be so mobile!
We had a really lovely time! The location is great as it's out of the crazy busy touristy centre but still only a 10 minute walk to the centre/bus station etc. Flexible check in, Fay was lovely and all very clean and comfortable. Would 100% recommend!

It is located quite far from the city center but walk distance (slopes), which may be inconvenient at first but it made our stay mor relaxing. The pool area was cool and the staff was really helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe pool was rather chilly ! Though it was October, so as expected - Greek hotels rarely heat outdoor pools.
The transfer we arranged was at the airport when we arrived, the owner was very friendly, the room was great with a rare view of the sun rise in Santorini from our balcony. it’s almost as beautiful as the sunset which is a short (uphill) walk into Fira. it’s super close yet away from the hustle and bustle.

United KingdomWe loved our three-night stay at Phoenix. The hotel is located a short walk from the centre of the town, but this is a good thing in my view because it is nice to get away from the tourist madness of the town centre. The hotel itself was clean, tidy, calm and extremely pleasant place to stay. Our room was huge with by far the most space and nicest balcony of our two weeks in Greece. The pool was nice too.

SwitzerlandNothing, all was great.
This property is located about 10 minutes outside of Fira. Transfers to and from airport/port can be arranged through the hotel. We had a very early morning flight and arrived well before check in. The hostess Fay, greeted us with a smile and told us our room was ready and we could check in right away. We had a 2 bedroom with 3 single beds with a sea view and a balcony. I highly recommend you get the sea view as your balcony it more private than the terraces are and the view is worth it. The room was large and the kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. You can have breakfast ordered to your room. You have to pay the delivery person. There are no restaurants or shops in this neighborhood. You have to get your things in Fira which is a 10 minute walk up a steep hill. Don’t let this discourage you, it’s not worth it. There is a small pool that was perfect after a long day of walking around town.

United KingdomFaye is an absolute amazing host who went above and beyond for us! Her customer service is exceptional :) We thoroughly enjoyed our whole stay. The hotel is located around 10 mins walk from the main centre in Fira. There is an up hill walk so do bring flat/dressy sandals. We travelled as part of a girls trips so had heels in our luggage for nights out. We did not wear heels the whole trip! We had an absolute amazing time!
