How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewKostas and litsa were so friendly and helped us well throughout the trip. The property was spotless and had lots of space. The property kept lovely and cool and there was air conditioning if needed but for the time of year we went, we didn’t need to use it. The breakfast was brilliant and felt like a treat being delivered to the house every morning and had some brilliant options. There was space to park the car about a 30 seconds walk from the property which was brilliant as you needed a car to get around as the house is not within close walking distance form an evening in the town/after a meal.
The sunset on the other side of the mountain so you couldn’t sit out in the evening to watch the sunset but there are lots of lovely places to go and watch this on the island. Towels had a cleaning charge of £15 euros which was reasonable but we needed it doing as we were staying for a week. These are very minor though as the trip was excellent and we would definitely recommend this accommodation again!

Verified reviewBreakfasts were really good delivered right to your door, and the host was helpful and responsive. Jacoozi was fantastic to relax in after a long day exploring the island.
A little out of the way so you'd need your own transport but was in a quiet authentic little village.

Verified reviewIt’s a very nice and comfortable place to stay. The area is quiet and safe. We rent a car and the parking is just 2 minutes walking distance. Not many steps or stairs in the entrance but if you have a baby or lots of luggage, you do need to make some effort to climb a bit steep slope getting to the parking. The beds and the washroom are very clean. The linens are comfy. The host can replace the towels for us everyday. The hot tub is so nice to have, although it’s a bit chilly in the morning, we were able to enjoy it during early afternoon hours.
The only thing with room for improvement is the breakfast. It’s great value with the big portion for each person but they are served in to-go boxes, and not very warm even we had it right after delivery.

Verified reviewThe house was really modern and stylish - in the theme of a ‘cave house’ - lovely curves and painted in light colours. The beds were super comfy, towels soft and fluffy (plus lovely ones for outside) - mirrors and charging ports in the right places. The master bedroom is in a separate room so if travelling with children, you have complete privacy. The kitchen is well equipped. The outdoor space is lovely - with a hot tub, loungers and tables and chairs. The host is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delivered each morning. There are a couple of local restaurants and a mini-market 3 min walk away.
The location might not suit everyone - the property is in a sleepy village about 30/40 min from Fira, with irregular buses. We managed OK as we like to walk and hike ( and we loved the walk to Oia) but needed a taxi in the dark to get home. Maybe would suit most better if you had a car.

Verified reviewI am extremely happy I found this place for our honeymoon as Sandos suites is truly a gem! Located in Vourvoulos, a small idyllic village 5 minutes drive from the spectacular Imerovigli, it offers an ideal location for those hoping to get away from the crowds and find real and authentic Greek island vibes. The property itself is absolutely amazing! It was our first time spending a night in a cave house and we were totally enchanted. The cave house offers tranquility and is refreshingly cool, something we appreciated very much after a long day in the blazing Mediterranean sun. The bedroom is soundproof and super comfortable, cozy and intimate, and I think I got the best night's sleep in my life. The amenities are outstanding, including a jacuzzi, a fully equipped terrace with lounge chairs and a large parasol. The views are breathtaking and it was an absolute pleasure to gaze upon the bright blue sea on one side and little whitewashed houses on the hill. Breakfast was great, especially the traditional Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit. Last but not least, Kostas was very welcoming, always available for questions, tips and suggestions, and he definitely managed to create a very relaxing, idyllic and beautiful atmosphere in this property. Would recommend this place 100% hands down and would definitely stay again if (when!) I go back. A little bonus was having a delicious, hearty and affordable dinner at the local restaurant nearby, with great comfort food, friendly service and elderly gentlemen playing guitars and singing folk songs.
Everything was perfect. Kostas, don't change anything, you are a beautiful soul and it shows in the way you work and treasure this place. We are grateful for the lovely time we spent at your property!
