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 reviewWe stayed at The Saint Hotel for one night and loved its youthful, vibrant spirit. The design is beautiful, and the Caldera view is absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though the bathrooms could use a bit of renovation — still, they were spotless. The food by the pool was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, especially Fanouris, who went out of his way to arrange a late checkout for us. I highly recommend this hotel for its fresh energy and stunning views.

Verified reviewI trawled the net for weeks from Australia trying to find the perfect accommodation which was quite overwhelming, but when I found Saint I thought it was too good to be true and when we arrived, we stepped into Paradise! The staff…. Impeccable! From the collection by our driver Angel, who was such a calming and welcoming energy after our flight. A truly kind and vibrant personality with a wealth of knowledge and passion for the island. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by Victor and Mike who welcomed us with such warmth and professionalism, you instantly felt like you had stepped into a dream and the stay was going to be amazing. Throughout our stay, Mike went out of his way again and again to ensure we were comfortable and having the best experience we could. Thank you so much for everything Victor and Mike, you both made such an impact on our stay here. If you had any questions, needed help, had any requests, they had a WhatsApp available anytime and would assist almost instantly which was SO helpful. Essentially ask, and if possible, you shall receive! Nadia!! Oh, Nadia! The beautiful Nadia looked after us at the beautiful pool, she has such an infectious smile and passion for making you feel special, she even dubbed my cocktail the ‘Elle drink’ and looked after us so well everyday! PEDROS! You were just bloody fantastic! The passion for what you do and your energy was such a highlight of everyday, pedros looks after your experiences while you’re staying at the hotel, and it was just so nice to take the guess work out of what to do and where to go, he is so good at what he does and he loves it, you can tell! Thank you! Also special mention to the other lovely Mike who brought our beautiful breakfast to our room daily, always with a smile, and such professionalism and friendly service. The Sky bar, boy oh boy was this STUNNING! Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, you must come here!
Dear Hamish, Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're absolutely thrilled to know that your long search led you to Saint and that your stay felt like stepping into paradise. It’s heartwarming to hear how our team—Angel, Victor, Mike, Nadia, Pedros, and our breakfast Mike—helped make your experience so personal and memorable. From the first warm welcome to daily care and thoughtful recommendations, we’re so glad every moment made you feel comfortable, celebrated, and looked after. Your kind words truly mean the world to us, and we’ll be sure to share them with the whole team! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable Santorini escape—whether for more Elle cocktails, stunning sunsets, or just a bit of well attentive service.

NO parking, No signage . No other complaints.
Dear Missaglia, Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our property and staff—it truly means a lot to us! Regarding the signage and parking, we appreciate you pointing these out. Saint Suites Oia is nestled along the cliffs of the Caldera, which provides stunning views but also presents some unique challenges. Due to the layout of the village and its cliffside location, our property is set behind traditional Cycladic buildings, and the space constraints of the area make prominent signage and private parking unfeasible. That said, we do note in booking.com that we do not offer parking facilities, and we strive to assist all our guests with clear arrival instructions ahead of time. Your comments help us continue improving the experience for everyone, and we hope to welcome you again for another amazing stay! Kind regards, Michalis Vakyris Hotel Operations Manager

Verified reviewOnly the view.
Some of the recipients are aggressive. But waiters and people who help us to carry bags are so nice. If you want to make bookings through the hotel concierge, they will get you high prices. For example, the boat tours its almost the double price from the hotel and quality is low. Food tastes old and not fresh. The housekeeping is not very clean they leave some of the cups dirty and they don’t change them plus the sheets and towels are old and have holes. There is light come inside the room even when windows are closed. You even hear everything outside also the sound of the water of the hottub.
Dear Sattam, Thank you very much for your review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you encountered during your stay. Regarding your comments about concierge bookings, we would like to clarify that in Santorini there is a wide variety of tour options available at different price points. Naturally, each package varies in terms of quality, type of vessel, and level of service. Our private yacht cruises are among the most luxurious experiences available, offering exceptional comfort and premium service. Comparing a private cruise on a yacht to a shared catamaran cruise is like comparing two entirely different categories—they offer very different levels of privacy and quality. We also find it difficult to understand how one can determine that the prices are double and the quality is low without having experienced our cruise firsthand. We always strive to provide top-tier recommendations based on service, safety, and guest satisfaction. As for the housekeeping, we would like to reassure you that our team changes towels daily and sheets every second day, unless they are visibly soiled or by special request. We are sorry to hear that this may not have been reflected during your stay, and we are closely reviewing this with our staff to ensure our standards are met consistently. Once again, we thank you for your feedback—it helps us grow—and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with an experience more aligned with the high standards we aim for.

Verified reviewPerhaps most troubling, the staff are working extremely hard under physically demanding conditions—running up and down steep stairs in the heat, carrying trays, luggage, and supplies. They appear to finish around 10 p.m. and are back preparing and delivering breakfast by 7–8 a.m., likely starting around 6 a.m. And for all that, they're probably earning just €3.50–€4.50 an hour. These people are working their asses off in the sun, and the hotel is clearly profiting at their expense. It's hard to feel good about staying somewhere that offers so little in return to the people who make the experience possible. In short, The Saint Hotel offers great views and stylish design, but the actual service, food, and ethics behind the operation don’t reflect a true five-star experience. For the price, you deserve better—and so do the people who work here.
We stayed in the cheapest room at The Saint Hotel, paying around €650–700 per night. Even at this entry-level, you'd expect a high standard of comfort and service from a five-star property. Unfortunately, the experience felt more like a stylized tourist trap than true luxury. The breakfast was basic and low quality—frozen-tasting fruit, stale bread, and rubbery omelets. You must select your breakfast options by 9 p.m. the night before, and slots are first-come-first-served, which feels unnecessarily rigid for a luxury property. They also attempted to charge us €50 to serve the same breakfast on a floating tray in the jacuzzi—without disclosing that cost upfront. It was only removed after we pushed back. This kind of undisclosed upselling is deceptive and unacceptable at this price. The transfer to the airport was quoted at €80, though the same ride costs €40 on Uber or €30 if arranged locally. Again, blatant markup presented as a normal service. A request for just a one-hour late checkout on a Sunday was declined, even though the hotel didn’t seem full. That kind of inflexibility feels indifferent, not guest-centered. The room lacked standard amenities: no ironing board, no smart TV or Netflix access, and the gym was extremely basic. The hotel is very quiet and private—great for solitude, but there’s little atmosphere or opportunity to interact with others. Dining in the area is a major problem. Oia looks beautiful, but nearly all of the restaurants near the hotel serve low-quality, overpriced food. Most are tourist-focused spots where the meals feel mass-produced and unpleasant. You’ll need to walk 20–30 minutes to find anything decent—and even then, it’s hit or miss. Several meals left us feeling sick.
Dear Scott, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We must admit we are quite impressed by the level of detail in your assumptions regarding our staff's working hours and compensation. We would like to clarify that these are not facts and do not reflect the reality of our operations. Our team members choose to work with us because they value the environment we have built—one based on respect, teamwork, and a shared passion for hospitality. This is certainly not a place of obligation, but one of choice and pride. We’d also like to point out that when visiting a Greek island during the summer, exposure to the sun is natural—just as it is for staff at any beach bar who work joyfully while guests enjoy the sea. If this aspect of an open-air, cliffside hotel setting is inconvenient, a city hotel enclosed within buildings may be a better fit for you. It’s important to research a destination’s layout and offerings before visiting. Santorini, renowned worldwide for its stunning views and exceptional service, offers a unique experience that differs significantly from typical urban environments. Choosing your breakfast the night before and enjoying it in the privacy of your suite rather than at a buffet is, to us, the very definition of tailored, five-star service. As for pricing—especially regarding transportation and concierge services—we offer premium options using high-end vehicles such as BMWs and Teslas, designed to match the overall luxury experience we strive to provide. These cannot fairly be compared to standard ride-sharing services. Our guests are, of course, free to choose the option that best suits their preferences. We understand that not every stay is a perfect match for every traveler, but we believe your review doesn’t accurately reflect the quality we consistently deliver. We are proud of the numerous positive reviews and ratings across platforms that support our commitment to excellence. While we respect all opinions, we do hope that future feedback is grounded in fact rather than conjecture. Kind regards, Michalis Vakyris Hotel Operations Manager

We had a floating breakfast in a heart shaped tray on our first day and on our anniversary which added to the charm and magic. I could go on honestly but you get the idea! Perfect stay at a perfect location. Thank you saint for everything
Perhaps the in house menu could be expanded to have more fish options / vegetarian options for those with dietary restrictions But honestly this is such a minor issue Two other things to be aware of (not really issues): bring bug spray / repellent as there can be mosquitoes / insects. And be aware that there are quite a few steps involved if you have any mobility issues.
