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 reviewEverything was 10/10. I just had a couple suggestions.
I wish clean towels and slippers were provided everyday. White robes would’ve been a nice addition too. Annoying tourists taking photos on top of the hill whilst we were in the swimming pool. I paid €25 for a Taxi from the centre of Thira back to Oia post office, so I’m not sure if the Taxi’s arranged by Caldera houses from the airport were too expensive or if we got lucky.
Dear Karanveer Singh, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that everything was 10/10. We appreciate your suggestions regarding daily clean towels and slippers, as well as the addition of white robes. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance our guests' experience. We understand that it can be frustrating to have tourists nearby while enjoying the pool, and we appreciate your understanding of the area’s popularity. Regarding the taxi costs, we always strive to provide fair pricing, and it’s great to hear that you found a good deal returning from Thira. Thank you again for your insights, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay! Warm regards, 3 Caves Management Team

Verified reviewWe loved absolutely everything about this property and would recommend it to anyone! - Location was spot on you. It is located in a quiet residents-only section (but also very close to the prime view spots). You have it all here. - Views were unbeatable (exactly as shown in the pictures). Sit in the pool and soak it all in - day and night. - Service from bookings to transfers to the porters on arrival were 5 stars! Do yourself a favour and book the transfers - made life so much easier! - Breakfast delivered was perfect! - 2 Sofa beds (very comfortable) made it perfect for a family of 4. Mini kitchen was perfect for our little family too.
Dear Annie, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an absolutely perfect stay and that you loved every aspect of the property.

Verified review**Exceptional Stay at 3 Caves by Caldera Houses!** My family and I recently stayed at the 3 Caves by Caldera Houses in Oia, Santorini, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived at Oia Airport, we were warmly greeted by a driver who helped us with our luggage. Upon reaching Oia, we were welcomed by Mary and the porters who assisted in carrying our luggage to the room. While there are some steps to reach the room, the breathtaking scenery and prime location made it all worth it. The view was mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. Mary was incredibly attentive and always available on WhatsApp, day or night, providing any assistance or guidance we needed. The Greek breakfast served each morning was delicious and added to the overall wonderful experience. Mary also took care of all our arrangements and ensured we had a smooth checkout, even helping us get back to the airport. Thank you for an unforgettable stay! Ramsey

Verified reviewThe views from this cave villa are breathtaking. It's dreamy and just like the posting advertises. The breakfast arrived at 8:30 in the morning in this adorable wooden box. Greek yogurt, juice, hard-boiled eggs, fruit, and traditional pastries. It was delicious. A lovely place to stay for a few nights. They also help you bring your bags to and from the taxi/transfer area, which would otherwise be a long walk through narrow streets CROWDED with tourists.
The jacuzzi/pool could have used a good scrubbing around the perimeter. Towels were supposed to be replaced every two days but had to request more on the fourth day. This is not a fault of 3 Caves itself but of the island of Santorini. Everyone wants to go capture the beautiful photo of the blue dome rooftops, and the line for that perfect photo starts at the entryway to the guest area of the villa, so you have to fight a crowd getting in and out each time you leave. Finally, every home on the island (not just some, literally EVERY SINGLE ONE) has been converted to a villa for rent to a tourist, so essentially you are on vacation on this beautiful GREEK island filled with other tourists but nothing about it feels Greek because there are no Greek people. Even the drinks on the menus aren't Greek, they offer you Margaritas and Mojitos for 22 Euros. I can get that at home. There was ONE remaining Greek Restaurant that didn't sell out, with delicious real family-style food: Candouni Restaurant. I also highly recommend renting a car for 60 Euro per day, otherwise, you'll pay 70Euro for a transfer 40 mins in distance, or 35Euro to go up a hill, it's arbitrary but they are clearly working for your money in Santorini. We travel the world, 3 destinations per year and this was most apparent in Santorini where it is overpriced and culture-deprived. Buy a painting and save $15,000.
Dear Maria, Thank you for sharing your experience at 3Caves Villa. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the breathtaking views, the dreamy ambiance, and our thoughtfully prepared breakfast. Our team takes pride in assisting guests with luggage and ensuring a seamless stay. Regarding the hot tub and towel service, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. As for Santorini’s popularity, it’s true that the island attracts many visitors eager to experience its unique beauty. Prices here can be high, which is why we always provide guests with a clear price list in advance to help them compare and choose the most affordable services. We truly appreciate your stay and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, 3Caves Management Team

Verified reviewOnce in a lifetime stay. Better view here than anywhere else in Oia, but a lot of steps to and from that view. Not a sunset view but a equally lovely sunrise over the caldera. The breakfasts were plentiful and varied, never left us hungry. Staff responded to any msgs promptly and was exceptional. They carry the bags to and from the meeting point. Jacuzzi is not a hot tub pee se, but warm which i ended up enjoying more as you can soak in it midday and actually cooling. Splurge on yourselves and book this place, you will not regret it. Thank you Mary and Fitim.
Dear Mandip, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at 3Caves Villa. We're thrilled to hear that your stay was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and that you found our villa to offer the best view in Oia.
