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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

BelgiumLovely accomodation in Akrotiri, on the Southernmost tip of the island. Beautiful views from the terrace, and amazing jacuzzi pool inside the room. Very friendly owner, we only spent one night there but it's worthy staying even more.

United StatesNot so much a dislike - but if you get a room with the loft, be careful going down the stairs at night!
Sparkling clean, amazing comfortable bed, fluffy pillows (my favorite), and a balcony to eat a delicious breakfast on (my other favorite). The proprietor was so warm and helpful and we loved being situated so close to Akrotiri (walk to the village and eat at Portobello - you won’t be disappointed).

Friendly informative host, very good breakfast on balcony with view. The apartment came with two balconies providing nice views to the caldera and the south beaches of the island. Ancient Akrotiri is an interesting archaeological site in the vicinity.

United StatesThe cold air from the AC may not reach the loft where the bed is (cold air sinks.) I’d recommend installing a ceiling fan to draw the cold air upward, onto the loft. It will make it easier to sleep at night if you are not used to the heat. Other than that, we are really pleased with the place.
The location was fantastic. It is close to Red Beach and Black Beach, the ferry port (a 15 minute drive), the airport (a 25 minute drive), the capital Fira, and within a 10 minute walking distance to the Venetian castle. Akrotiri also has a ruin that you can visit, there are several restaurants and at least one supermarket nearby (within 10 minute drives.) It is located in a quiet area, with great views. The hotel manager/host/owner is super generous with provisions. She is always there to help you.

AustraliaWe had an amazing time staying at William's houses! A beautiful modern and very large room and an incredible view! Our hosts were so kind and helpful and even got up in the night to meet us and give us the keys when we arrived very late. Akrotiri is a lovely part of the island and a lot more quiet than other areas.

United KingdomThe location isn't that bad if you don't mind a little 20-30 minute drive to/from the centre fira.
Hospitality was great from the main boss lady owner, family run business so had that little personal touch. The room was modern clean and beautiful, spacious enough for the three of us. The shower was wonderfully big and roomy and the hot tub was a nice way to chill out. The room looked like it may have been recently renovated, nice touch 👍🏽. I would 100% stay again with a realistic score of 9.5-10!

AzerbaijanBreakfast could be improved.
Very friendly staff. Clean and cozy rooms. The view from the terrace is amazing. Reception also organised a car to rent for us which I think is a must for Santorini. Having the car gave us a flexibility to explore different parts of the island.

ItalyIn my opinion, the price could be a little lower, given that the rooms face the caldera but also the street and that you don't get to have much privacy (you are side by side with other guest)
The room was really big and new, with all the comforts. It was really nice to have also the outside patio with the Jacuzzi and the view on the caldera! Breakfast was quite various with many choices, and the host was super kind and full with suggestions. She was also extremely helpful with the transfer from the airport and the scooter rental. All in all I would recommend William's House if you are looking for a place outside the super crowded Fira/Oia, Akrotiri is more relaxed/authentic but you may need your own car/scooter to visit the island!

GermanyI can't actually complain about anything. It was a really good stay and we enjoyed it a lot. The hotel doesn't have its own restaurant, but then just opposite to it, there's a good family owned restaurant with a reasonably priced menu and very friendly staff. I would also recommend going there for dinner.
The house was very easy to reach from everywhere in Santorini. Although it's better to have a car. Buses are anyway infrequent all over the island and aren't always on time. From our balcony we could see the caldera - a wonderful view. The apartment we stayed in was tip-top clean, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend it if one wants to stay in a peaceful locality away from crowded Fira or Oia.
