Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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...).

UkraineWe were missing laundry machine a bit, and shower heads could be placed a bit higher, other than that everything was perfect.
This place was perfect to stay for 5 people. The location is great, just a few minutes to the bus stop to get around the island, two supermarkets near and a few nice taverns to enjoy delicious food. The owners are super nice, communicative and friendly, Evi was very helpful and helped us in many ways with a piece of advice. We were also given a current buses timetable. The place where we stayed was nice, clean, comfortable, the beds and pillows were super comfy. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need if you want to cook.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like but we would may recommend a long mirror and some sort of higher shower attachment
We loved every bit of our stay in Radiant Santorini Our hostess was simply the best any questions we had she sorted for us and gave us excellent recommendations Although the property is only accessible by foot we loved walking the short trip to the local amenities & catching the buses We thought we’d try the breakfast as an extra and it was so good we ended up having this every day The hot tub and roof terrace was just wonderful & relaxing The area is quiet and so easy to reach the more popular locations on a frequent bus route We absolutely loved everything about it but you do need good trainers

MaltaPerhaps an improvement point is to place higher the shower heads in the bathrooms. Other than that everything was perfect. Thank you Evi for hosting us. Definitely will recommend this place.
Amazing family owned hotel. Facilities are amazing, they look exactly like the pictures. The location is super good. Out of the way of the crowded places and very well connected. Hosts are super kind. They let us check in early since the apartment was ready. We used the jacuzzi during the day and night and water was always warm. Toilettries, linen and towels were on spot. The kitchen is small but works if you cook for 4 people. The host told us where to park the car for free in the neighbourhood since the hotel is located in a foot only section of the village.

A unique character accommodation with lots of space and terrace areas. It's within easy walking distance to nearby restaurants and cafes. Evi, our host was super helpful and provided good recommendations for transport as you can travel by bus from the port to Mesaria and is about 8mins walk to the accommodation. We also used the bus to the nearby airport to save on expensive taxis. It's located in a quieter part of the island and was ideal for us for our last day.

United StatesOur suite in Radiant Santorini was very spacious, clean, and beautiful in a very quiet neighborhood. Inside and outside the suite definitely had the Santorini character. Our hostess, Evi, she was the warmest and most kind. She greeted us upon arrival, gave us a quick tour of the unit and handouts and educated us about the things we could do in the neighborhood or within the Island during our stay. This woman was super communicative and considerate of everything. We very much felt at home due to her hospitality manners.

ItalyWe really had a little time to spend on the island and we didn't know anything about it. Santorini was really crowded and this place was super to visit everything without being among the chaos. The house is among private houses, in a very quiet place. You can reach the shops with a walk of 5 minutes. I really suggest you have a car to see the island: Fira is 5 minutes by car and the position in the middle of the island allows you to see everything with a short route. In less than 10 minutes you can find beaches where there's no one. The flat is fresh and huge, with a space outside and a fabulous terrace shared with the other 3 rooms. It's super clean, beds are comfortable and you can park the car within 5 minutes walking. But the very value of this place is Evi. She answered all my questions before leaving and she suggested to us what to do; among the services offered by the location she was able to choose the best for my family. She is helpful in every possible way, and I really felt as I had found a friend. She is more than enough the reason to come here.

United KingdomThe property was very comfortable and clean. Evi, was extremely helpful and made sure we had what we needed. The location is brilliant- taxi from the port 30€, but once there you can use the local KTEL buses to travel around. If you walk down from the apartments, you will find some lovely tavernas and supermarkets. There is a bus stop to get to Fira 2€ and also for Kamari 2€ beach (8 mins away). You can also get the bus to the airport 2€ - it runs hourly 7 mins past the hour . We had a junior suite for 4 of us - plenty of room and it comes with a private use hot tub. A huge thank you to Evi for making our stay enjoyable.

NetherlandsYou'll find this accommodation in the middle of the island, which makes it a very good starting point for exploration. In the village itself, you'll also find a few restaurants on walking distance, which are also very affordable. We chose to explore the island by car, you'll find enough places to park. Big compliment towards the host; very friendly, helpful, and great recommendations for activities and places to visit (especially the boat tour!). The accommodation was very clean and soundproof. We arrived a bit early, but the host took care of our luggage and informed us when the place was ready! Which was very much appreciated.

AustraliaYou need to walk to the property from a nearby street as there is no vehicle access which makes it difficult to organise taxis, pick-ups and transfers. View is nice but limited (don't expect to see the caldera from Mesaria). It is a residential area so expect a bit of domestic noise (dogs barking etc).
Well appointed apartment with 2 bedrooms suitable for 2 couples. Has a small heated spa pool outside. Everything kept really clean. Clothes drying rack outside was useful. Owner manager was very kind and obliging and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Bus services, supermarkets and restaurants near by; easy access to Kamari Beach.

SerbiaI travel a lot but rarely write reviews. This apartment is really a gem and is worth sharing the experience. The apartment is quite spacious considering it's Santorini. It is very clean and stylish. Outdoor bathtub is incredible. This is a family owned business and owners are very kind and accomodating. I will just throw in a list of things i remember they did for us: -Waited for us to check-in at 5AM even it was a very short notice -Booked a local rent a car for us, significantly cheaper than options available through major booking sites -Brought ice(literally sat on a motorbike and went to buy a bag of ice) -Shared some Ouzo P.S. Messaria is a great starting point if you plan to drive around the island. It is very calm, has plenty of free parking around and is located just in the middle of the island.
