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.).

New ZealandWe found the rooms quite hot. Kitchen lacked items to make a meal if you wanted to.
Unique property close to Fira, great views and private pool a bonus. Very accommodating storing our bags before and after our stay.

United StatesThe place is built into the mountain. There was one air conditioner right when you walked through the front door to the unit but only fans (and dehumidifiers) in the bedrooms. In the heat of the summer, this is a challenge. Also, in my opinion, Aura Caves would not be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. Luggage has to be carried/pulled up a street to get to Enrik's unit (the closest thing to a front desk) and, unless you are staying in one of the two units in the same area as Enrik's unit, you will be lugging your bags up steep steps (no handrails, etc).
Enrik was excellent. We arrived late in the evening and he met us with the room key as soon as I notified him that we had arrived. He was also really helpful with suggestions for places to go (beach clubs, restaurants) and was able to provide transportation (at a very reasonable cost) to/from the beach club. Additional plus, he had a kitty named Bonnie who was too cute for words. Aura Caves is also close to the main Fira area... shops, restaurants, church, etc.

My sister and I have just returned from 4 nights at the Aura Caves. We had the Passion Cave. We were delighted with the accommodation, very quirky in a rustic authentic style... Excellent peaceful location for everything Fira offered. The caves were clean and comfortable. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen was fully equipped. The small, private outdoor pool was lovely, an excellent sun bathing spot. The host Enrik was very efficient in booking a catermaran sunset cruise, an evening meal at Amoudia Bay Fish Restaurant ( highly recommended)for dinner and taxing us there and back to Oia... overall a lovely experience in beautiful Santorini.

The property looks exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and a perfect location. The owner was wonderful and answered “what’s app” texts very fast. He showed us everywhere we should visit and helped carry our suitcases up the big hill. 10/10 would recommend.

United KingdomNothing to remark about.
Our three-night stay at Aura Cave in Fira was nothing short of exceptional. The property is historic and beautifully designed, offering a unique and exciting ambiance that perfectly complements the charm of Santorini. The host was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, assisting with bookings for activities and tours and even offering to drive and pick us up when needed, a thoughtful gesture given the limited Uber services on the island. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special stay in Santorini!

Unique, nothing we’ve been to before, beautiful pool with a view looking over the land surounds. Great location, transport was a 8 min walk. Plenty of food choices and night life. Quite area.

AustraliaAmazing and unique accommodation just a few steps from the busy area of Fira but very quiet and private. Rooms and beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were spacious, and though there was only one air-conditioning unit at the entrance area, the place remained relatively cool over a hot few days. The hot tub upstairs was amazing, spacious for 4 people, complete with a blue dome view, and vista over the eastern seaboard of Santorini.
