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.).

IrelandSuch a unique and interesting property providing the best sunset views in Oia. The windmill has been beautifully restored and we loved all the design details. We went for dinner early so that we could get back to watch the sunset and when we walked back, there were crowds jostling for a glimpse of the sunset all along the narrow streets. We felt very lucky to be able to view the sunset from two different vantage points at The Sunset Windmill without worrying about the crowds. It was the highlight of our trip. Jason was also brilliant, so helpful and provided us with a gorgeous breakfast the next morning. There is also parking nearby, which can be a real problem in Oia if you are travelling by car.

Location, location, location - this property is easy walking distance to everything you want to see in Oia; it also provides an easy exit from town on northern road for sightseeing. Host Andreas and Jason are top notch.

United StatesNothing - everything was perfect!
We loved everything about Sunset Windmill! George was an amazing host- he helped us with all of our arrangements (taxis, etc.). We made the mistake of not reaching out to him to arrange transportation to the property (and took a bus that took forever to get there) but learned our lesson after that. The views from the place are incredible - pictures do not do them justice. People flocked to see the sunset from this location. It was convenient to shops and restaurants. Overall, a fabulous experience!

LOCATION! Located at the top of the caldera and at the end of the shops, it was a perfect location for shopping and the balcony view of the sunset is priceless! Our host George was a life saver! Anything you need at anytime he's there for you, be it, food delivery, restaurant suggestions, drivers and breakfast on the patio he'll make it happen! Ilias and Ana we're also very helpful with our stay. Our drivers Juliano and Julia got us where we needed to be safe and sound!

United StatesWe ran into no water issue but it was an issue that day in Santorini so cannot blame the hotel, also a water clogging issue - again, dont flush your tissues in the toilet in Europe so cannot blame the hotel but in both situations, George helped us with everything fairly quickly to make this our best experience. thank you.
Exccellent location, views to die for, privacy, sunset from your balcony, Does not have too many steps like other hotels in Santorini in general. city centre, restaurant, market, Oia castle, bus stop a little walk away, staff and manager was so helpful. If you are 6 people staying, its great value for money. Even for 2 people the view is worth the price! You cannot go wrong with this one, go for it!

SwedenI don’t think there is anything I didn’t like
The location!!! Incredible view. You don’t have to go anywhere for sunset point . You can watch straight from your big balcony. It is a Great Value for money Enjoyed staying: very close to everything. 2 min walk to main oia road , 2 min walk to parking area, 5 min walk to bus stand. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Room were very big and really cleaned . You can order breakfast as well there in 15 euros ( watever u like) . George is d Best host ever . He will help you with your luggage to parking area and bus stop. Very helpful host . you just tell your problem and he will fix it in minutes. We wanted to drink tea at night and all shops were closed . I texted him if he can arrange for 2-3 tea bags and in few minutes he was there with tea bags. I wish I could post a video here for the view that you can see from balcony . I will recommend it to everyone .Everything was so amazing ..

United StatesThis was an amazing find with amazing sunset views and prime location. It’s a quick walk to for getting picked up and to all the shops and restaurants. It’s quick and easy to get to the busy area but is quiet and private area with a patio and seats for sunrise. The interior was nicely decorated and everything was quite comfortable with a unique setting. The best part of our stay was George, the property manager. He is quick to respond 24/7 for any needs. He gave some great recommendations and assisted with everything, including booking car rentals, taxi and car transfers, excursions, and even ordering food that is delivered right to the doorstep. He was an amazing host with lots of knowledge about the island and good deals. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for the quality of service and the setting, I definitely recommend!

United StatesI had messaged the property two days prior to arrival that we intended to arrive an hour earlier than their typical check-in time. They quickly followed up to acknowledge but never told us where to meet them or even how to find the property. There are no signs for it anywhere nearby. My family and I searched for a while and I called their number multiple times with no response. I then messaged the property manager using booking.com app who then sent someone to meet us where we were waiting but obviously there was a long delay. Then he came by himself and pretended he never got the calls until I showed him the call history on my phone. He also suggested I "wasn't listed on WhatsApp" which is how they typically communicate with incoming guests to co-ordinate meetup spot. I told him I am a decade-long user of WhatsApp. He then opened the app and obviously found me very easily. Then the same night, they marked our stay as "pre-paid but didn't show up" with booking.com WHILE WE WERE STAYING THERE!! It deleted the message history in the booking.com app and took off the very expensive stay from my history, affecting my user status with booking.com (I am still worked to get it re-instated). Besides, it kept me from leaving them a review (the main reason they probably did this). I had to work with booking.com customer service staff to finally leave this review. All of that soured our stay by quite a bit.
