Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

PolandWe had a lovely stay at AVAL Hotel, the staff were wonderful and helpful. The localization of hotel is perfect, in a quiet, calm area but also great located - not far from popular places like Fira or Kamari. The breakfast was amazing, delicious and variable everyday. I strongly recommend this place to everyone who’s deciding to visit Santorini :)

Everything. We stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much we returned this year. The owner and Son who run the place are helpful but not intrusive. They will organise airport transfers, hire cars and restaurant bookings. Quiet, well-maintained accommodation with a huge breakfast delivered each morning.

RomaniaWe would have liked the private pool to be heated, especially in the evening, otherwise it was absolutely fine during the day.
Location close to the airport and other points of interest on the island. Very friendly host, we were able to check in earlier, you can leave your luggage in advance. We asked for extra breakfast and didn't pay anything, including details and recommendations for visiting the island, car rental. Absolutely everything wonderful! Thank you to the staff!

It was a beautiful villa and in a quiet location with a 10 min walk to the main area of the restaurants and supermarkets . Felt safe as it is gated with only those who stay have access. Staff very friendly and very helpful. If we needed anything from trips to car rentals or taxis they sorted for us. We had an amazing experience.

The property was very clean and as per shown in the pictures. Location was good as pretty central to most attractions. The breakfast was excellent with a surprise element every day. The host Panos and Dimitris were extremely helpful and friendly and took the trouble to sit down and plan our itinerary as well as give recommendations in addition to help with booking cars and trips

United KingdomEverything was perfect 👌
Aval is a beautiful place to stay, made even more special by the father and son who own and run it, Pavlos and Dimitris. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble, making our stay in Santorini truly memorable. The accommodation is spotless and modern, and the breakfast delivered to our room each morning added such a lovely touch. Ask Pavlos or Dimitris to make you an Aval Aperol Spritz, there is a little healthy competition who makes the best one ;))

SlovakiaEverything about our stay was simply amazing! The place is run by a wonderful father and son duo who were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. They shared so many great tips and insights about what to see and do during our stay including clever, budget-friendly suggestions on how and when to visit the most beautiful spots also those ones that are not very well known from travel catalogues. I can’t recommend enough to listen to their advice: thanks to them, our entire trip was unforgettable. It wasn’t just Santorini’s magic that made this experience perfect; it was also these two hosts who introduced us to hidden gems, fantastic yet affordable restaurants with breathtaking views, and made us feel so at home. The accommodation itself is stunning – spotlessly clean and exactly like the photos, if not better. Honestly, I’ve never experienced this level of hospitality before. I truly wish them many more years of success running this amazing place!

AustraliaCentrally located on the island, the villas and entire complex were stunning — from the gorgeous curved architecture, to the fully equipped kitchenette and our very own private pool, everything was perfect. And Panos gave us fantastic recommendations on what to do and where to dine, and we followed every one of them — each experience was unforgettable and truly made our trip.

BelgiumIt's a bummer that the hotel is listed as being a adults only hotel but having young kids in the pool everyday. As our room was just next to the pool, it wasn't ideal for getting some rest and peace in your room or by the pool. You'd have to keep this in mind when booking, if some noise doesn't bother you it will be a fantastic stay. No separate toilet, for a 4 people room, it makes it hard to move around and have some privacy.
The host is absolutely fantastic and super welcoming and helpful. He will do his absolute best to make your stay wonderful and unforgettable with arranging excursions, car rental and everything else you'd need. Amazing pool and suite design. Very peaceful location and atmosphere, it's a smaller establishment so you won't feel crowded at all. Breakfast was fresh and well prepared, with some local delicacies as well as some more international food.

NorwayWe stayed at AVAL for 10 days, and the experience was fantastic. We were looking for a peaceful holiday where we could relax, and this hotel was perfect for that! We were served a delicious breakfast to our suite every morning, including bread rolls, eggs, fruit, juice, coffee, and various sweets. The breakfast varied from day to day, so it was exciting each morning to see what treats they had prepared for us. The hotel also offers lunch and dinner, which can be delivered to your suite. We ordered several times and can highly recommend the chicken gyros platter! The suite we stayed in had two bedrooms, both with air conditioning. There was also a fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed, including a dishwasher and washing machine. The suite had terraces on both the first and second floors. Every morning, we enjoyed sitting outside on the lower terrace with our breakfast and coffee. There was also a private pool and comfortable sun loungers with sun from morning until late afternoon. All the staff were incredibly friendly, especially the father and son, Panos and Dimitris, who own the hotel. They gave us great tips for excursions around the island and offered car rentals at a very good price. There is no doubt that we will stay here again the next time we visit Santorini!
