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 reviewReviewed: 22 August 2025 · Stayed in August 2025
Verified reviewThe rooms were good size and the pools were very clean. Good effort by staff to keep tidy.
The location. Finikia town and bus stop requires steep uphill walk. Main swimming pool is too deep for non swimmers especially those with children.

Verified reviewThe place was amazing. The staff was kind, the pools were stunning, the hotel was in a great location about a 20 minute walk to the center of Oia or a 3 minute drive. There were days when our room was cleaned twice a day.
There were no vegetables at breakfast, the beds weren't particularly comfortable - but the experience was so good that it was a minor detail.

Verified reviewThis was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, we have never spent so much time in a hotel on holiday. All areas of the hotel are exceptionally clean. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is beautiful and it's great to have healthy options. The bread was so fresh. The private pool is amazing, it is heated and during the day when it is in the shade it is gorgeous. Oia main street is a 10minute walk away. I would love to return to this hotel again in the future. I would highly recommended to anyone.
Absolutely nothing. It was beautiful and amazing.
Dear Laura, Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed every aspect of your stay—from the cleanliness and friendly staff to the healthy breakfast options and your private heated pool.

Verified reviewLocation of the property well situated a 10min walk to OIA main stretch. The property was clean and the heated private plunge was amazing.
The doors leading to the balcony were very small and tight and to be honest there was no need to have the door that small. Breakfast was not a buffet style which is what I am used to and the options were very limited. There was no tea available during my stay which was disappointing.
Dear Israr, Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, the stunning views, and the heated private plunge pool—those are some of the highlights we’re most proud of. We also appreciate your comments about the door size and the breakfast options. We understand that some guests prefer a buffet-style breakfast, and we’ll certainly take your feedback into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings. Your feedback helps us create an even better experience for our guests, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an even more enjoyable stay! Best regards, Secret View Hotel

Verified reviewThe hotel kindly upgraded us to their sister establishment, the ‘Secret Legend Suites’ as part of our stay, due to maintenance work at the secret view hotel - the suites are excellent. Note - I am sharing this review for the Secret Legend Suites and not the secret view hotel. - Unobstructed view of the caldera, fantastic in the evening watching the sunset from the private pool of the room. - Friendly and attentive staff. - Brilliant location in Oia - very close to the main sites and a wide choice of good restaurants. - Spacious rooms and tasty breakfast.

We had an early flight arriving and a late flight leaving and the resort allowed us to stay on the premises before check in and after. Such an amazing time. I would recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Santorini. Signed Mr. Robert 407.
