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 reviewLocation Amenities The gorgeous view The outside spa Breakfast included which was fantastic The very gracious host
There were 6 of us so probably a couple too many. Perfect for 4. There were no shower screens or curtains so every shower meant water all over the bathroom floor and very wet towels.

Verified reviewSuch a unique property. Beautiful design. Fabulous view and location. Elizabeth is lovely, so welcoming. The hot tub was a welcome treat after walking around Oia all day.
There was nothing we disliked but be aware that when you say breakfast included, this meant food was put in the fridge for us to cook/prepare. I assumed it would be brought to us which wasn’t a problem for us and the food in the fridge was lovely.

Verified reviewWhile the location was incredibly central to the main tourist spots, it was quiet and peaceful. Everything about the accommodation exceeded my expectations. The staff were so kind and the service was fantastic. The view from the hot tub, especially around sunset was fantastic and the facilities inside the house was great. It included a downstairs living space which was a pleasant surprise.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved everything about Cosmoia Cave House – the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Oia with stunning views and easy access to everything. Staying in a traditional cave house was a magical and unique experience, blending history with modern comfort. Most of all, our host Elizabeth made this trip unforgettable. She was exceptionally hospitable and incredibly responsive, always just a message away. She went above and beyond to arrange transportation, book activities, and ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for.
Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like – everything was great.

Verified reviewWe stayed at Cosmoia Cave House in Santorini for 4 unforgettable days, and everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, our host Elizabeth went above and beyond to make our experience seamless and special. Each morning, she delivered a delicious breakfast right to our doorstep – a thoughtful and tasty start to every day. Elizabeth also arranged a private car with a driver for airport transfers and sightseeing, making it incredibly easy to explore the island in comfort. What truly stood out was how she personally organized all our activities and provided amazing local restaurant recommendations that made every meal a highlight. The cave house itself is stunning – clean, cozy, and full of character, with all the comforts you could ask for. The level of care and hospitality we received made this a truly standout stay. We highly recommend Cosmoia Cave House to anyone visiting Santorini. It was a perfect blend of luxury, local charm, and personalized service. Thank you, Elizabeth, for making our trip so memorable!

Verified reviewFabulous location, amazing host, exceptional breakfast and the entire place fully exceeded our expectations!
The only suggestion would be for there be a door on the bathroom in the front bedroom. Because if the no door, you have no privacy when using the toilet or taking a shower.

Verified reviewBreakfast was delicious and we enjoyed having it delivered each morning. The view from the hot tub was awesome and the location was right in the middle of Oia!
The bed was really firm in the main bedroom and so was the couch, shower in the en suite bathroom did cause a lot of water leaking out into the bathroom and into the bedroom. The doorways were a little low for 6 foot 2 inch guys resulting in several bumps to the head.

Verified reviewI love the location of the apartment. It’s just next to the iconic blue dome. Such a breathtaking sight to behold!! Very memorable trip eventhough it’s in winter where no other activities to do so we enjoyed chilling in the apartment as much as we could.
Just maybe the toilet door in the bedroom. It’s wood panel with no proper door hence you can see people inside it.

Verified reviewExcellent location in Oia. There are plenty of hotels in Oia with amazing views outside. This is one of them.
Maybe due to the design of a cave house experience, shower water may seep out into the room if you use it long enough.

Verified reviewThe house is well managed. The property gives you easy access to the caldera and is centrally located. The manager of the property Elizabeth is one of the best people we have worked with. She is very caring, takes very good care of the guests and makes sure to answer questions, phone calls very promptly. She has great knowledge of the island and all the things you can do on the island.
Recommend to add a microwave in the kitchen and a shower curtain in the bathrooms.

Verified reviewAmazing location and amenities. It was great to be able to watch the sunset from your own hot tub without battling the crowds in Oía. Breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh juice. And paying the extra to be picked up from the airport and dropped off at the end of our stay made everything so easy.
