How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEcolodge La Estancia was an amazing lodging area on the Isla del Sol. The breakfast and the dinner they provided was amazing and the staff were super friendly. Specifically, Susanna at the front desk was able to answer our questions :) The rooms were comfortable and cute.

Verified reviewThe hostess, Susana, was friendly and helpful. We happened to be the only guests at the time, so meals were timed according to our needs. The food was delicious and the offerings for breakfast varied. The property is well-maintained and beautiful. The view of Lake Titicaca from sunrise to sunset was breathtaking.
The hotel is located near the top of Isla del Sol. The only way to access it from the dock is to climb a steep and uneven path with a lot of burro droppings. It is not an easy climb, especially at a high altitude. We had no idea how difficult it would be to reach the hotel. Please investigate before attempting. It is not a good idea to attempt with more than a backpack. Also take water for the journey up.

Verified reviewBeautiful location. Comfy warm bed and hot showers. Delicious dinner and breakfast included. Staff super nice and helpful. However it was rather pricey considering you could get similar accommodation for about half the cost.

Verified reviewLocation is great (but so are many of the far cheaper properties on the island). Dinner and breakfast was excellent. Each lodge is perfectly designed to be eco friendly.
Communication with there property was terrible. They ignored three separate messages requesting information on how to get to the place, which resulted in us hiking (with all our luggage) 8.6km from there north of the island. Not fun. Also, given the serene, natural environment, they really ought to have words with the neighbouring hotel which pumps out hideously loud reggae music during the day.

Verified reviewPretty much everything - particularly the location and stunning views. The lodge was much comfier and more modern than some places we’ve stayed in Bolivia. The manager was wonderful and arranged for us to stay an extra night when I was too ill to travel as planned.
It would be great to have some lunch options available - although breakfast is huge! There was a kid listening to loud tv on their iPad with no headphones in the shared dining area which was a bit annoying. Only happened one night, sure it would have been dealt with had our stays overlapped more.

Verified reviewThe views were phenomenal, the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. We absolutely loved our time at La Estancia.
The walk to the hotel from the port is approx. 40mins, some of it up a very steep hill. 100% worth it when we got to the hotel though!

Verified reviewAmazing location. Amazing people, Froylo and the chef were extremely helpful, kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
Need to make sure the lodge sends an english speaking guide to lead the walk from Yumani port to the hotel, or provide detailed instructions. This is not a negative, however need to be clear that the view from the lodge is of the lake & sunrise (which is absolutely amazing!!) however for sunset, the best view is approx 20 mins walk away from the lodge (this is not a bad thing, as there are many little restaurants & areas to have a great view, and it is even better to have sunrise view from the lodge so you do not need to take a walk early in the morning), however it should be made clear to guests that this is the case
