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.).

Danae Villa is just perfect and Evi is the best host you can imagine. It’s 700 meter (uphill) to the centre. Close enough to walk to the vibrant streets and the caldera, but far enough to stay at a quiet place. The patio with the swimming pool is lovely for the morning coffee with a pastry and perfect to cool down after a beach visit.

IrelandThe place was like an oasis in Santorini. About 10 minutes walking distance from the vibrant Fira! Yes it was uphill going to Fira but it wasn’t that bad and not a problem for us. The room was very spacious and super clean. The mattress was so comfortable!! The pool and the jacuzzi were perfect for relaxation for the end or the beginning of our days! The most important aspect of the place was Evi! She’s the best hostess ever! From the minute we arrive, she made sure that we are comfortable and gave us the best recommendations for the island! Every morning she was preparing and offering us a delicious breakfast. She literally made us feel like home. Can’t recommend this place enough! Evi we will definitely come back again!!!!

RomaniaI liked everything! Starting from the location (it is really close to the center of Fira) continuing with the rooms (spacious, really clean and tidy) and finishing with the kindness and hospitality of Evi, everything was amazing! If you are looking for a place to stay in Santorini that has life and personality this is the place to be! Evi treats you like family, she makes you feel safe and at home! She can help you with anything (from rides from and to the airport to atv s) She truly likes what she is doing and that is visible in the villa! I cannot recomand her enough!

RomaniaThe perfect Santorini escape. The villa was everything we hoped for – peaceful, and with incredible swimming pool and garden . But what truly made our stay special was our host: kind, helpful, and always one step ahead of our needs. It felt more like visiting a friend than renting a place. Evi makes the best homemade breakfast from the house. Would return in a heartbeat.

The host Evi is a lovely lady who looked after us, made us delicious breakfast in the morning (free of charge!) and offered to give us a lift to the bus station as our luggage was quite heavy. Exceptional customer service and I couldn’t recommend it more! We will certainly be back next year!

PortugalThe place looks very nice, the environment is quiet and cosy. You can here birds singing and you are outside of fira center, which is good if you enjoy quiet and privacy. Though it is just 10 minutes walk from fira’s center, which made it perfect for us! The best of the place is the reception since you arrive until you leave. Evi, the owner, is 5*, just amazing! She makes you feel totally at home and she offered breakfast everyday as courtesy, but for us, we really felt welcome. She even woke up super early to make sure that we could have some breakfast for the journey, because we had to pick a ferry very early. We totally recommend Danae Villa for you to stay!

Evi the host was so lovely. She takes such good care of her guests. We felt really looked after. She had great advice on what to do on the island and her personal touches really made our trip.

SpainEvi and her husband are great hosts! From the moment we arrived at their home they treated us like one of their family, you rarely see this.... Evi was very attentive to us and made our stay as comfortable and flexible as possible. She made us a list of the places we had to visit, she recommended us to do it by quad (a great idea!) and gave us a contact who brought us and picked us up the quad at the villa. On the other hand, he made us great breakfasts! One day pancakes, another day biscuit and chocolate cake, all delicious! And the best thing is that she does it with the best of her smiles, with all her love and every day she tries to make you try something different. When we were leaving, she gave us a cup from the island to remind us of those wonderful days in Santorini. And finally... Her husband fixed one of our suitcases that had suffered a tremendous mishap during our intrepid trip! He saved our last days in Greece. Evi, thanks for everything, your friends from Madrid <3

VietnamI recently stayed at Danae Villa during my trip to Santorini, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The villa itself is charming, clean, and comfortable, but what really made the stay special was the warm hospitality of the host, Evi. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious homemade breakfast, prepared with care by Evi herself. The variety and freshness of the food were amazing, and it was the perfect way to start the day before exploring the island. The location of Danae Villa is great—just a short walk from the center of Fira, but quiet enough to relax after a long day. If you're looking for a place in Santorini that feels like a home away from home, Danae Villa is the perfect choice. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you, Evi, for making our stay so special!

ItalyThe Villa is extremely well kept, comfortable, nice . The pools are wonderful to chill before/after some walks around Fira. And the owner, Evi, really knows how to cuddle her guests. Moreover, the area is peaceful and allows for a beautiful view of the east side of the island, with a cute little church just one minute from the hotel.

GreeceThe room was amazing and renovated! The only negative thing was that the wifi was not very strong (the signal was coming and going) and the blanket that I took from the wardrobe I am not sure if it was clean because it had some hair on it. Despite these, the room is really worth it!
It was very quiet and comfortable! Evi, the owner, is veey friendly and cares about the people on a personal level! She came to pick me up from the airport and she was willing to drop me anywhere I wanted! She provides also homemade apple pie, coffee and pancakes free of charge! I really recommend this place to anyone who wants to see the Greek hospitality!
