Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesI only wish we had more time spend there - there is absolutely nothing I did not like
We had no idea where we were going and the host got in touch with us and directed us exactly where to meet and how to get there and would have even booked transport for us had we needed it. Someone met us at the meeting spot - helped us to our room and got us set up to watch the most spectacular sunset we had ever seen. The room was perfect, the location was perfect and the kindness showed by the host was great. It was perfect for my 4 adult children and i.

CanadaI was surprised that we got that kind of location with private terrace to view the sunset including furniture and fridge with wine and snacks for the money we payed. In Oia, everything works around the sunset, is the major attraction after the landscape and you can confirm this going to restaurants with view to the sunset. This is a goldmine for travelers who want to enjoy the sunset in a private and privileged location. The help from the staff and porters was excellent. I can't remember their names but they were always there ready to help us. Breakfast was healthy and practical.

This beautiful Cave Home was perfect , great location, very clean and a wonderful staff. Maria, Daniel and the rest of the team always made sure we had whatever we needed and left local pasty goodies and wine for us to enjoy that was delicious. The property had everything needed to cook if needed, toiletries, coffee, water and little things you do t think to pack but usually need. We will definitely be going back to Santorini again I hope some and staying in one of Maria’s other cave homes.

United StatesA little disrepair on the guard ropes on the roof balcony which might pose a risk to kids... was noted by host, and I'm sure repaired by now.
Amazing location on Santorini - as advertised, a perfect window into an iconic view. We had only 1 day on the island and wanted to maximize our time without fighting the crowds, and have a chance to relax. The Helios home enabled us to do all that and more. We were delighted by the cave interior, the cute "secret" little room and little hobbit hole / door to access as well as by how much space we had in the loft and main bed space. The pocket window facing the sea was charming, and we really felt special to be going into the house with the blue door which many tourists were taking pictures of in front. The highlight, the balcony at the top afforded a glorious panoramic view. I took the complimentary rose wine (fridge had nice basics of food in there) and went up for a peek and didn't leave again for 2 hours until the last of the sun disappeared. We spent a bit of time looking at the various views all through the island, and found ourselves very happy and satisfied with the Helios view. Maria the host arrived as the sun was setting and we had a very nice chat - she was kind enough to bring snacks (delicious local fruit, etc.) and was very helpful throughout including warning us of when the boats were cancelled and giving us recommendations throughout. Note, the home is on a relatively steep part of the hill (while it is steep, it is short, just 5-10 min walk), but the porter they send to pick you up, carry the luggage, and give the keys was amazing in navigating the streets quickly and made it easy for check-in. Overall Bravo! for a beautiful experience - we'd love to come stay again one day soon!

My recent stay at Oia Cave Hotel in Santorini was nothing short of extraordinary. Located in the heart of Oia, the hotel offered the perfect vantage point to witness the breathtakingly picturesque sunsets that Santorini is renowned for. The location was ideal, as it was within walking distance to all the famous spots where one could marvel at the beauty of the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. One of the highlights of my stay was the warm and attentive hospitality provided by Maria, the fantastic host at Oia Cave Hotel. From the moment I arrived, Maria made me feel right at home. She greeted me with a friendly smile and took the time to ensure that all my needs were met. Her knowledge of the island was impressive, and she was more than happy to provide recommendations and insider tips on the best places to visit and dine. The cave-style accommodation at Oia Cave Hotel was truly unique and added to the overall charm of the experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated, combining traditional Santorinian architecture with modern amenities. Staying in a cave-like room was a fascinating experience, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the design and comfort of the space. The hotel also had a stunning rooftop terrace, which provided panoramic views of the caldera and the surrounding landscape. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the island. Overall, my stay at Oia Cave Hotel was a truly memorable one. The combination of its prime location, comfortable accommodations, and Maria's exceptional hospitality made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and enchanting stay in Santorini.
