Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomEverything was excellent.
Truly an excellent and accomodating host who helped us take our luggage and arrange transport to and from the airport. Beautiful view from the hot tub, really cute interior. Has parking and just a stones throw away from Oia. Perfect destination for couples!

United States of AmericaWe loved everything. If we had to think of one ‘negative’ it would be that the beds were not the most comfortable, for us.
We loved the location: close to Oia but out of the supper busy area. Also loved our outdoor space with the most amazing views! The host was so kind and helpful.

AustraliaMy only regret is that I didn’t book a longer stay here!! Everything is absolutely perfect
Gabbiano Traditional Cave Houses was a dream come true! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome by the host Irini she spent time with us letting us know all the hints and tips of the island and all her restaurant recommendations were amazing. But what absolutely sold this place was the stunning caldera views from the balcony and roof top jacuzzi - I have never loved a hotel as much as I did this one. The location was perfect close enough to Oia that you could walk in and explore in the morning before the huge crowds arrived and then in the afternoon relax in the privacy of your villa enjoying the views and beautiful sunset. Hand down the best hotel ever!!!!

AustraliaThis place hasn’t received enough recognition in previous reviews. It is a stunning hideaway with fantastic views of the caldera, from the pool and from the balcony. Even better views from where we were compared to further up the hill!! Only a quick 5 minute walk to the Main Street and supermarket. Clean and tidy with service every morning for clean towels and bedding. Irini was a fantastic help and provided us with a great map to navigate our stay. We followed all of her recommendations and were very pleased. Value for money we would definitely recommend this place to all our friends and fellow Australian wanting visit the beautiful Santorini!

IsraelIn the evening there were insects in the jacuzzi and this prevented us from spending more time in it
We spent our honeymoon and the location is excellent, the view from the room is breathtaking and the silence is relaxing. Amazing sunsets! Irini is very nice and helpful, she was available at any hour for questions and recommendations and it was above and beyond our expectations. In my opinion, the matter of insects in the jacuzzi should be improved in the evening and also put a body mirror in the room and this will add to the experience of staying there. We really liked the place, the view, the service and the availability and we would definitely like to come back in the future. Of course warmly and wholeheartedly recommend.

This location was unreal! The views were stunning, I couldn't believe they were real. The location is perfect too, about a 15 min walk off the main part of Oia which was perfect given how crowded that area was. The hot tub was also a great perk! Great to sit and watch the sunset for it. Would recommend this place to anyone!!!

CanadaGoing to Santorini was a dream come true :-). Really amazing cave houses. My husband and I spent 5 glorious days on Santorini and stayed at Gabbiano (hint: the Cupid apartment is cozy, spacious and very spacious inside with a fully equipped kitchenette and has a great sunset view from the hot tub!) Honestly, it's a small house.... not a room! The views are to die for, you can see the sunset from your private hot tub, it's just perfect. It's in the best spot for exploring Oia, about a 10 minute walk into all the hustle and bustle. Irini went above and beyond from start to finish of our stay. In contact through WhatsApp or in person, whenever we needed them and gave us lots of information. Highly recommended.

AustraliaThe bathroom could be more modern as it seemed older than the rest of the house. Disappointed that breakfast wasn't included even though prices were quite high - we were told about this prior to the stay though.
It was nice to have someone meet us at arrival. The location was great, just outside the main strip of shops of Oia. Also have some markets around that are useful. The A/C in the House was great and kept the whole house cool throughout the really hot days. The rooftop pool is a really nice feature.

Malaysiaeverything is so good that I can’t find anything I don’t like
The location is super strategic, it’s very close to the Main Street at Oia but it’s out from the hustle and bustle..and the cave house is perfect and exactly what I’m looking for in this beautiful Santorini. Besides, the sunset view from the jacuzzi is spectacular! The staff too is super friendly, I arrived earlier than expected but the staff is so nice to serve me with some coffees and cookies while waiting. She also give good advices on places to visit in Oia, which restaurant have the best view and which restaurant serves delicious food..everything is so on point! I have a pleasant stay here in this lovely cave house!

AustraliaOur stay at Gabbiano was absolutely exceptional. Room was beautiful and so big (the photos do not do it justice), view was magnificent and location was close to everything. Irini greeted us when we checked in and sat us down to show us the best places in Oia and local spots to check out on the map (was fantastic considering we had never been to santorini before and didn’t know where to go). Irini cooked us a homemade breakfast on our patio on our last morning and i couldn’t recommend it enough - it was so beautiful and fresh. She is an amazing cook.
