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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

NetherlandsThe rooms and specially the stairs to go to rooms are not for older people as it is not safe but it is expected as you will be leaving in actual windmill !!
Everything about this property is really good, location is best .. best sunset view !! what you want more- you are sitting in hottub and viewing best sunset of Oia sipping wine or a cocktail !! Breakfast was really good ,it was delivered at your place when you want and there was good options for breakfasts as well. Manos- the host was really helpful, he contacted us before reaching there and guided us on everything till we reach hotel. He made sure everything is in place. He suggested us lot of things ..things to eat , things to explore ! He made sure our stay is comfortable and enjoyable. I will recommend this property for best views and experience in Oia.

GermanyThe Wi-Fi was hard to connect to. There were a lot of bugs in the private pool, which was disappointing as I was looking forward to it. This only happens on hot days.
Manos was very kind. I was very satisfied with the unique experience of staying at a windmill. The location was also good, as I could walk around Oia in no time.

United KingdomQuirky little place to stay,with excellent views of the castle and the sunset. Comfortable facilities with plenty of space outside to sit, relax and enjoy the ambiance of Oia. Manos was attentive, and nothing was too much, from organising the taxi to collect us,recommending places to eat and organising breakfast etc. If you are looking for somewhere special to stay in Oia that what’s better than the windmill,that is an iconic feature along with the blue domes. Would love to visit again someday.

NetherlandsAgain, not 5 star luxury resort. But what it may have "lacked" it made up exponentially in how incredible the entire experience was. I mean...it still had AC, though not needed with the cool ocean breezes.
Manos went above and BEYOND to make sure our stay was amazing. Having our own private balcony to watch the sunset was exactly why we booked here. While this is not a "5 star luxury resort" It is absolutely one of the most unique and coolest places to stay on the entire island. You are staying in a 200+ yr old windmill that everyone is stopping to take photos of. Breakfast was fabulous. Manos offered so many incredible suggestions. Did I mention the sunset was AMAZING! Didn't have to fight to find a place to park or stand and wait. Sat there with a bottle of wine on our own private balcony and took it all in.

United StatesThe bed is very firm. For anyone with balance or mobility issues, this would be a very difficult stay due to the narrow and steep stairs.  But again, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it’s an “experience” stay. 
What an experience!! Being able to stay in a 200-year-old windmill is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  it has beautiful views, and is perfectly located with two outdoor seating areas to view the sunsets. Manos was very attentive and helpful. We appreciated him arranging for our transport from the airport.

SwedenThe firmness of the beds was not to our personal preference. I understand that different individuals have varying preferences when it comes to mattress firmness, but a slightly softer option, especially in the Sofa bed on the lower floor, could enhance the overall comfort level for guests and especially
The location of the accommodation was outstanding, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast service, which was conveniently delivered right to my room. It was a delightful way to start the day, enjoying a delicious meal while taking in the stunning scenery. As a guest at the property, I also appreciated the great service provided at the pool area, including reserved sun loungers. The staff were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that guests had a relaxing and enjoyable time. Of course, one of the absolute highlights of staying at Lioyerma Windmill Villa & Pool was the phenomenal view of the famous sunset. It truly exceeded all expectations and left a lasting impression.

The view from the windmill was absolutely incredible! Our host Manos could not have been more friendly and accommodating, he and his brother were just fantastic! The only thing that we did not like, was the very very firm bed. One word to the wise, the stairs in the windmill are very steep down to the bottom level, more like a ladder.

Manos met us upon our arrival. He could not have been more accommodating. The windmill itself is a beautiful and unique stay. The view of the sunset for one of the two private terraces was spectacular! Uninstructed and above the crowds of people. The sunset drink was a wonderful bonus and the breakfast huge!! The pool was ours to use alone until 12 and after sunset which was another great perk! Highly recommended!!!!
