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 reviewThey gave detailed and accurate check in instructions, which made it easy to get in when I arrived after 1 AM (because my flight got in very late). The price was amazing ($10/night for a shared room), my bunk was very comfortable, roomy and private with a curtain, shelf, outlet etc inside. The place was clean and pleasant to hang out in, with indoor and outdoor common spaces, and it came with breakfast!
Nothing. It was really good.

Verified reviewSuper clean Breakfast included Helpful and thoughtful staff Central location
Noisy - I am a light sleeper and the streets behind the property have bars and nightclubs. I have stayed here before without issue but this time, Friday night, I could hear bass from nearby between 1.30 and 4am. Earplugs don’t help with that because of the low frequency, similar for trying white noise. So woke up tired. Could be a one off and rooms that don’t have an exterior window would not be impacted as much Hard pillow
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, location, and the service from our team. Our hostel is typically very quiet at night, providing a peaceful environment for rest. However, we understand that on occasion, external noise may be more noticeable. For future stays, we recommend rooms without exterior windows, which tend to be quieter. We appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon. El Patio Hostel 🏡

Verified reviewBad neighbourhood. I would recommend everyone to stay at the old center. The hostel also provides misleading information about the distance to the center and activities they offer.
We clarify we do not give misleading information, distance is calculated automatically by Booking, based on our location. This is a system-generated estimate. Also, La Mariscal is one of Quito’s oldest and most central neighborhoods. We understand that personal preferences vary, and if the area wasn't to your liking, that's completely valid. However, it's important to note that comments based on personal opinion can negatively impact to small business. El Patio Hostel 🏡

Verified reviewOne of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. All made with heart and love. Modern renovation, cozy common rooms, new good matresses and pillows. Really friendly and helpful staff. I felt like home in this hostel. During my stay the hostel was booked out, a popular place to stay in Quito. The street is calm and safe. Next to the hostel there is a cute restaurant El Cafecito with quite cheap prices.
