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):
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.).

AustraliaThe only gripe was that the handle on the shower control was broken off, but it still sort of worked. They also didn't have a breakfast option, which would have been nicer. All that said, I would say there again. We only stayed one night because our ferry was cancelled.
Nice modern hotel with a great pool. Clean and well-appointed. The location is good, but it a decent walk from the bus terminal with luggage.

United KingdomA little further away than other places from the restaurants and other activities of Fira but still easy to walk to the mini market and main street!
Wonderful hotel, the room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom. The pool was lovely and a good size with quite a few sunbeds and umbrellas around it, as well as outdoor sofas and chairs/tables. We got a really good Genius deal on our room which is the main reason we picked this hotel, but even at full price I think it would have been decent value for money if you are interested in a more restful pool holiday.

DenmarkI wish there was a cafeteria or a restaurant in the hotel but i I would still choose this place again
It was a comfortable stay. I thought places like Santorini you need to pay so much to have an average stay. But I was wrong. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and we took advantage of pool and balcony too. Location was good too.

RomaniaFirst of all, Golden Star is a proper hotel. It might not be a seaside frontline hotel with a sunset view but it ticks all the checkboxes when it comes to "decent place to stay in Santorini". Our room was large enough, spotless clean and very comfortable. The reception staff has also been very kind and professional. The pool area was a really nice place to rest and enjoy a few hours of tranquility. As we had a rented car, we particularly appreciated the fact that the hotel has its own spacious parking. Also, the hotel is just a few minutes walk from the main street with bars and restaurants and 8-10 minutes drive to the airport (is was our last day in Santorini and this was important)
