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 reviewFirst of all, the staff was outstanding. Even before our arrival, they contacted us to confirm our landing time, coordinated directly with our taxi driver, and ensured a smooth luggage pickup. The room was spotless, well-organized, and fully equipped, with a breathtaking view that left us speechless. The hotel’s location is ideal—perfectly situated and close to everything. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewFantastic location with million dollar Caldera views and private terrace to watch the amazing sunset. Great breakfast served on the terrace at a time to suit. Very short walk into all the action and only a minute walk from the chairlift upper station.

Verified reviewOur stay at White Ark was absolutely wonderful! The hotel itself is beautiful, and the huge pool with an incredible view was a definite highlight. The location is truly 10/10, perfectly situated next to all the best restaurants and offering breathtaking views of the Caldera, mountains, and city. A special shout-out to the staff for their exceptional helpfulness – they went above and beyond by providing vegan cheese and milk and were fantastic with local tips and arranging taxis.

Verified reviewThe view was breathtaking, the best on the whole island, if you want to see the caldera. Breakfast was fabulous, always brought on time to the room, where you could choose to eat on the spacious terrace or directly by the infinity pool. The location in general was superb: three minutes by foot to the center of Fira with its numerous shops, bars and restaurants, but still secluded enough for privacy and a lot of relaxation. All staff was kind, friendly, helpful and always a pleasure to be around.
The bathrooms could use a little makeover renovation, everything else was first class.

Verified reviewThis is a perfect place for couples, probably the best in Fira. Everything was the highest level, the location, amazing view, great Infiniti swimming pool, perfect equipment, polite helpful staff. The place is in the center but it ensures privacy. Everything what is written in the offer you get in this place.
