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 reviewThe staff was great. The room has incredible views. Located right above small strip of restaurants but still very quiet. Short walk to very rocky swimming area with cliff jumping. Great patio.
Very small rooms. The location is in a secluded section. To get anywhere is a 15-20 minute walk very uphill (270 steps). No place to walk around.

Verified reviewThe Lava Stone is a beautiful property in Amoudi Bay which is just below Oia. There are a few upscale restaurants and a few hotels. In the evening there is a lively vibe with the restaurants, especially at sunset and in the morning it is silent and so peaceful. There is a steep but short walk up the steps (270 ish steps) up into Oia where you have the iconic town of Santorini with views, shops and restaurants. Being close, you are able to get up there before the crowds if you are an early riser. Our room was exactly what we needed for a family of four. Our kids took the room with two twin beds which could be a king and the parents took the queen bed. Both rooms had their own bathroom. T=We had a small sitting area with refrigerator and coffee maker and outside a lovely patio with a view of the bay. Vicki, the hostess, is very helpful with advice and tips on the area.
We did not properly research the location or realize that Amoudi bay is quite a bit off the beaten path. It made it less convenient, especially when renting a car, to park and get it each day. But we figured it out and it worked out fine. It is not really a negative, but something to be aware of when booking Lava Stone. But really, There is no property on the island with a caldera view that is convenient if you have a car. The water from the shower ended up all over the floor. But it did this in our following hotel as well. We are not quite sure the European system of showering without a door and how to do it without making a huge mess!

Verified reviewThe view was fantastic. The room was beautiful. They gave us a welcome shot of a local greek fortified wine.
Reception wasn’t extensive, but for our one night it wasn’t a big deal.

Dear Azraa, We would like to thank you for taking the time to post your review. This is an intentionally negative review as you never stayed with us and your reservation was marked as a now show. It is rather unfortunate that guest who never stayed at a property, probably not even visited our island and their reservation was marked as a no-show are allowed to port reviews commenting on how the actual property is. We regret to inform you that intimidating language on phone calls and threats of bad reviews in order to avoid the relevant fees according to the terms and conditions of the chosen rate plan are not acceptable nor tolerated and definitely do not dictate our business decisions. Kind regards, Aris Vrakas General Manager

Verified reviewSabujima and Sanjukta visited Santorini and stayed here. The view, the room, the host is way beyond our expectation. everything was awesome about our room. Host was very sweet and kind to us
The hotel location description should clearly mention the long and slippery steps leading down to the property. My friend had a leg injury, and it was extremely difficult for her to climb them and reach the main Santorini area. We fell down twice while climbing up and down. This could be a serious issue for anyone with health concerns. Since guests often pay in advance, switching hotels becomes quite challenging.
