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.).

United KingdomThe location meant for a tough walk up a steep hill to get into town. Good exercise, but not safe as there were no pavements.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Phoenix Hotel. The manager ess was fabulous. The room was spotless, very peaceful

United KingdomOur stay at Phoenix was brilliant! The Apartment was very clean and all outdoor areas, including the pool, were well maintained. Staff were extremely helpful and were on hand to assist us with taxi bookings and airport transfers, as well as allowing us to keep our luggage stored in reception after check out so we could go for one last wander around Fira before our late flight. The location was also only a 10 minute walk from the centre of Fira, but very peaceful.

United StatesThe property was great, but you had to walk into town for food and that was the only negative.
The property was quiet, clean and offered great value for Firo, Santorini. We had read the reviews and knew there was a hike into town, but just did not realize how steep the climb. We are seniors and the walk up and down was sometimes daunting and challenging with the very windy conditions we encountered during our stay. If anyone has mobility issues you will need a car to transport you to town. We walked and sometimes several times a day, and it was easy walking down the hill but going up was strenuous.

IndiaThe host was super sweet. She kept our luggage safely in the reception after our check out for few hours until we had to leave for our ferry. She even helped carry our luggage outside when she could see me struggling with it. The rooms are pristine and loaded with useful facilities (cutlery, microwave, coffee maker, espresso machine). They even had complementary crackers and juice. The location is very close to Fira center (walkable), so everything is available and accessible from here. You can also catch the sunrise when you come out of your room as it's very close to the sea (on the east).

United KingdomThere is no breakfast included. It would have been great if the hotel offered proper breakfast which was included in the room rate. Location is a bit tricky - you have to climb a steep hill to get to Fira town and most of the walk is on the road. There are no pavements.
Lovely, clean and comfortable hotel. Had a good stay there and slept well. The owner was friendly and accommodated my request for late check in. Bathroom had good attention to detail such as dental kit, makeup towel etc.

United KingdomOur room only had an area to hang up tops, if you had dresses or skirts these had to be hung up in the room which didn’t bother us too much as we were only there for a week.
Very pretty apartment complex in walking distance from Fira. Pool area is very lovely & there’s a car park for if you hire a car as we did. Rooms were kept very clean with fresh towels each day. Pool towels were also provided & changed during the week. Our room had a terrace & also kitchen items such a kettle, sandwich toaster & fridge which enable us to easily make breakfast & lunch when we wanted. Staff were very friendly & also very helpful when needed.

United KingdomThe stove was not really good enough for family meals. The wifi was also not strong enough. The main road on the way to Fira town centre was dangerous to cross. I also think Santorini is too crowded and expensive especially in July and August.
The owner and staff were great and hospital. The appartment was clean with ample linen and towels. It is close to Fira, although you have to walk up a hill. Santorini itself is so expensive that I think this is a relatively good deal.

New ZealandNot a dislike as noted on the listing but a steep uphill 10-15 min walk to town in the sun can be fairly hard work and returning in the evening may not be appealing for a single traveller as the road is fairly dark. Our first night after arriving we went to get some supplies and when we returned to our room the air con had been switched off so it appeared someone had come in to the room when we weren’t there which made us feel uncomfortable, hopefully that wasn’t the case
Daily clean of the room , new towels , water and coffee. Pool was clean and lovely. Check in was easy

United KingdomThe only slight downside is the walk into Thira itself. It isn’t awful and takes about 10-15 minutes but from the hotel it is all uphill. We didn’t mind this at all but could be a problem for some people. At night it is fine to walk down, there is lighting and we didn’t really see anyone around.
We loved our two night stay here! The pool really made the stay. We arrived late afternoon on day 1 and went straight out to a local winery and to watch the sunset in Thira. The second day we went out to walk the coastal path early and spent all afternoon relaxing by the pool. We were the only two at the pool so had it all to ourselves. The sun loungers were comfortable and a lovely umbrella for shade. The room was fab! Clean and had everything we needed. We had a great sleep.
