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 KingdomNothing about the property itself - just be prepared for steps as it’s in a hilly place but Wind Tales came to meet us on arrival, showed us how to not get lost, and picked up our luggage for us so no complaints at all!
I think the best way to describe this hotel is special - it was unlike anywhere we’ve stayed before. The attention to detail and care given by Alexis and his staff is incredible (special thanks to Tonia who prepared a delicious breakfast every morning with local and homemade produce!) The property itself is beautiful, situated in the medieval hilltop village of Ano Syros, and Alexis gave us many amazing, personalised recommendations upon our arrival. We had such a lovely stay and it was a pleasure to meet everyone there. Would recommend to others in a heartbeat.

United KingdomThere are a lot of steps to get up to Wind Tales, however when we didn’t feel up to the climb we got a taxi which only costs €6. The kind staff also assist you with your bags.
There are only 4 rooms and therefore it allows you to get to chat to other guests and staff. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble, they are very knowledgeable about the island and provide you with lots of tips. The breakfast is amazing with lots of different fresh produce sourced locally. A special thank you to Tonia who looked after us when Alexis had to return to Athens for a few days.

NetherlandsThere was nothing to not like.
The host is extremely nice person. The property itself provides you awesome views and access to magical tiny whitewashed streets of artistic hidden gem Ano syros. Getting to Syros is 20 minutes walk or just a affordable taxi ride away. All the pubs bars and near by places are quite commendable. The host Alexis and his partners make this place even more magical for you. The way they prepare breakfast for you, guide you how to get around city and even make reservations for you on your behalf is amazing. Its like someone genuinely taking care of guest in their house. It did not feel transactional even for a minute. It was so relaxing for mind and soul that I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone. As a matter of fact if I go to Syros again I am going to Wind tales.

United KingdomNothing really - location means it’s a 20/25 min walk away from the main town which can be tough in the heat when going uphill but the local village of Anos Syros is beautiful and provides great views so it is worth it!
This is an amazing place to stay, and one of the best value places I’ve ever stayed in, both across Greece and in the world. Lovely spacious room, comfy bed and excellent shower. Breakfast was so filling and tasty and served with a beautiful view of the town. The best thing however are the team, who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

United States of AmericaI had to leave lol
Everything. Literally everything. Breakfast was better than 5-star hotels with locally sourced produce. The staff was so nice and helped with literally EVERYTHING. The pool area was relaxing and provided panoramic views of Syros. After a booking error they even upgraded me to the best room at the hotel for free. This place was incredible. When I checked out I accidentally took the keys and had to leave them at a shop and the owner was completely nice and understanding. This hotel is the definition of customer service. I can't wait to come back to Syros!

AustraliaThe stairs and steep climb was a little challenging for a couple in their seventies, but the view from the top made it well worth the effort getting there and the staff were only to happy to help with baggage.
The location was out of the main centre which was a plus as far as we were concerned and the views from our room and balcony were simply stunning. Breakfast was great and the host and her staff couldn’t have done more to make us feel comfortable.

AustraliaNothing to fault at all!!
Absolutely everything! Before we arrived we were greeted with Alexis at the entrance of Ano Syros who then spoke about the village and navigation to the hotel. The boutique is beautifully designed for a peaceful retreat and honeymoon in our stay. Our room was on top of a steep set of stairs which lead us to luxury. We were then greeted with complimentary wine and lemoncello from Alexis’ family. He then sat down with us and gave us suggestions on the best restaurants in the village and asked us what we would like for breakfast. Every detail in the room had thought. From the Korres products, to the bed and pillows, breakfast and lastly the view!! The staff were also very professional and friendly. Thank you very much Alexis & staff!
