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 reviewExceptional in every way. The accommodation and views are unbelievable , but the true selling point is Matthia’s hospitality and one-on-one local travel tips. Callia Caves was a slice of Greek heaven presented by a total darling of a hostess! Gosh, and that view…
Nothing. Take me back there now!

Verified reviewFantastic location, spacious and clean villa. The service we received from Matthia was wonderful, she went above and beyond and made our experience seamless.
Pool was a little bit loud when trying to sleep as it is located in the main room

Verified reviewMatthia arranged our airport pickup and gave us lots of great tips to make sure we would find some hidden gems in Santorini! The location is absolutely perfect. We had two amazing dinners at the restaurant across the lane. Highly recommend! Thank you, Matthia and Dimitris!
Everything was great.

Verified reviewThe property was in a great location and quite big for Europe. The host is very kind and quick to respond!
There is an over powering smell through the place that we did not like. I think it may be from the jacuzzi inside the main room? The smell burned our friends eyes who were staying in the room. Additionally, the AC unit when you first walked in leaked the entire time we were there. We had to constantly change towels to soak up the water. We were told someone would be by to fix it but no one ever showed up.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent. Close to shops and restaurants. The apartment had everything we needed. Matthia was very helpful throughout our stay with answering questions, giving recommendations, and booking & reserving for us!
Restaurant is right across from the apartment patio but this is very common in Santorini.

Verified reviewEverything about this place was amazing. You're right in the centre of Fira with endless amounts of restaurants, shops and bus station which takes you anywhere you want to go. The apartment was amazing. The view from the apartment was 10 out of 10. Matthia was absolutely amazing. She was there 24/7 for us and couldn't have been anymore helpful. She recommended lots of things to do and places to see. Our holiday wouldn't have been the same without her. We look forward to visiting here again ❤️

Verified reviewWhat I like a about the property is the amazing view and how big the apartment is. Also Matthia was very helpful.
Pillows, noise at night because of the restaurant/bar in front, there is a constant smell from the pool inside the apartment. Don’t get me wrong, Is good to have it but, the pool smell doesn’t feel good. Breakfast can be improved as well. They ask you what time do you want to receive it but it does come all packed in a box, instead of serve on a tray, so doesn’t really matter what time you want it.

Verified reviewBest possible view in the area! The apartment was quaint and cozy and had a fabulous upper deck for enjoying the scenery! Our hostess Matthia was on top of everything and took excellent care of our needs during our stay. I highly recommend Calia Caves for the best view on Santorini!
Nothing!

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, very close to the third level of the restaurant, so you can take advantage of the nice background music while spending time outside having drinks on first or second level. Large and perfectly heated hot tub. The views of the Caldera were superb, plus we were lucky to watch the fireworks. The hotel service from Mathia was the best, super efficient and helpful in every possible way meeting us, helping us find the location, which is not easy, taking care of luggage up the stairs and giving us ideas what to do and arranging tours (with Yannis) around the island last minute that were excellent, highly recommended.
No Greek food in the neighboring restaurant was disappointing

Verified reviewReviewed: 16 September 2024 · Stayed in September 2024
Verified reviewLocation is perfect, very central but not busy with tourists passing by. The view is reasonably good and meet expectation. The apt is clean and functional with everything we need. Our host is responsive and helpful, allowing us a very early check-in given our travel schedule, and booked us a great table at the restaurant next door.
The view is good but a bit blocked by the terrace of a nearby restaurant just right next to the apartment. The apt may br a bit small for a family as when the sofa bed turned into a bed, there is almost no sitting area in the main floor. The small kitchen is small but functional, would be better if the sliding door is removed - it is quite difficult tonuse the space with the door with really no real function of it
