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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

You get acces to a table in a shared area and a more private sitting area above it. From both, the view was exceptional. Kitchen was well stocked for us. Interior was beautiful.

UkraineSome of the facilities need repairs - shower stand and toilet button. Also just for people to know that the cave itself is quite cold inside, so we even opened the door to let hot air in, as we didn’t have warm clothes.
The location is perfect, this place has an amazing view, all people come to the castle near to see the sunset. You don’t need to go anywhere to take pictures. There was everything for a comfortable stay. The host was really friendly. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends!

GermanyAbsolutey no points for improvement or dislike for the property it is 10/10. However, as a guidance to families travelling with small kids like me you can NOT use travel buggy or pram in Oia as it is rocky stairs all along. We made this mistake however, we went to Mykonos next where we saved a lot of time having the buggy.
Everything in short, the host was kind enough to pick us from another hotel from the airport where we stayed for few hrs due to our delayed flight. Just due to the accommodativeness of the host we were able to see the major spots of Oia like Perissa beach, Red beach, Fira, Akrotiri, Profitis Ilias and others within few hrs with best guidance all along. As we just spent 2 nights in Santorini so we had to be fast and the help which we got made our trip a super success. Now coming to the property it is located perfectly in heart of Oia and you can see the sunset from your own balcony. Most of the other points of Oia are easily within walking distance right from Castle, Blue domes and everything. The host was again kind enough to arrange for a transportation and helped us reach the port within time to catch our Seajet to Mykonos. Eyes closed we will come down and stay here if we are back to Santorini!

LatviaNot that it was a real big deal, the bed could have been a little more comfortable. Also .... minor point, if the weather is not the best and you plan to stay in .... the entertainment system could use improving? Personally I couldn't get the system to work? Not that you want to be staying in anyways 😉
The attentiveness of the owner was well above reproach. Very personable and more than willing to assist with any needs. Oh and did I mention to breath taking views! 😉

United StatesOnly a few things to be aware of, but part of the experience. Some low doorways had to be ducked through (I'm 6 feet tall), I did hit my head a few times when I wasn't careful. Walking from parking down to the home with luggage was difficult given the narrow streets and heavy crowds. You can hire porters to carry these in/ out if desired.
Great location in Oia with an incredible view. Beautiful sunsets from the patio (Early October). Kitchen with everything needed to cook meals. Fun experience in the cave style home, also very comfortable and cozy. Nice sized with for the location. Great check in experience from Katerina.

SwedenThere were 4 chairs and a table which was great to eat but it would be good to upgrade the outdoor space as a lounge so it would be possible to lay down and relax. Another detail is that we could see a lovely sunset from the patio but it is not possible to actually see the sun go down all the way from Casa Sigala.
Lovely, clean and spacious cave house. Great location and amazing views. The kitchen is very good to prepare food and the patio to seat and eat with a view and sunset. Also the bed was very comfy and the bedroom was cosy.

United StatesThe property is close to the main tourist area in Oia.
This is an incredible location overlooking the caldera. The cave house setting is unique and very comfortable. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. We had arranged to arrive late, but our flight was delayed. They met us at the meeting point after midnight. They were very responsive to all communications regarding arrival and questions, etc. Overall, this is a spectacular place to stay!

United StatesWe had to haul in bottled water to drink, but that is almost all of the Greek Islands. It is really sad to see all those plastic bottles being used everyday.
We had a fabulous stay at the cave house! The location on the edge of the caldera offered views of neighboring caves spilling down to the crystal blue water and over to the Island of Thirassia. Cruise boats, ferries, and sailboats sailed below us into the caldera. The Ammoudi Port is below. Every evening, the nearby castle and narrow pathways filled with people catching the sunset. We loved our private terrace for outdoor meals and a retreat from the crowds. There are 2 cave units, and each has its own outdoor terrace and balcony. All nicely maintained. We enjoyed meeting our various neighbors who were from different countries. The interior was clean and authentic with a living area with sofa and extra bed, and a double bed and closet in the bedroom at the back of the cave. The small kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. There was a 2-burner cooktop and big refrigerator. Bathroom with cave-like shower. Katerina was a friendly super host who met us and walked with us to the house. She was very responsive to all of our needs. She showed us on a map some of her suggestions for restaurants. There is a market and many restaurants nearby. Our cave and terrace were cleaned frequently. Because of this fantastic location, the parking and local bus or taxi stop is about 300 meters away, and you must descend around 70 irregular steps and walk on some narrow pathways to get to the house. But it is worth it for the cave experience and caldera views. Katerina arranged for 2 Porters to carry our luggage to the house for our 2 weeks stay. We would highly recommend Casa Sigala for good value and an authentic experience on Santorini!

United KingdomI thought we were getting a 1 bedroom but it's more of a large studio with a walled partition and curtains to separate the bedroom area. So if trying to sleep you can hear the noise from the living area. The Internet was also up and down during our stay, but the host was aware of this and trying to fix.
Excellent location. Choice of outdoor areas. Very knowledgeable host who gave us a lot of good ideas on things to do.
