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):
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.).

New ZealandHot water in the shower was a bit temperamental but nothing outrageous - was still nice to have hot water to wash the sunscreen off!
Location is excellent - quiet yet close to everything - and the staff were lovely and welcoming! We were able to check-in a bit early, and enjoyed the comfortable bed and awesome air-conditioning. Wifi was strong and reliable in our room, and having a small kitchenette was handy on days we wanted to save a bit of money.

IrelandIt would have been good to have more access to drinking water. But that's being very picky!
The hotel was beautifully kept, and clear that the owners took great pride in their property and garden, as well as making their guests feel welcome and well looked after, they were very gracious and kind. The shower in the hotel room was the best in all of the Galapagos!!

ItalyBeetles keeper entering the room. However I don't think this is the hotel fault, there was a towel underneath the door but they would still enter. Perhaps this is something inevitable in the Island as there are so many of these beetles at night
Nice friendly owener I had an upgraded room on my last night Location pretty good being at only 5 to 10 mins from the pier and center of the town

United KingdomCarlos was an amazing host, he helped us to book a boat to Isabela and got up especially early with us to take us to the harbour. We hadn’t accounted for the hour time difference between Santa Cruz and the mainland. What a lovely man. We loved our stay here.

United StatesThe only issue I found was the WiFi could be spotty. But when it worked it was fast. Not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay again.
Great stay! The room was comfortable and clean. And the property was perfectly located. Just a few minutes walk to anywhere in town but far enough from the bustle of the main tourist area. The best part was the amazing hosts! Carlos and Esther were so kind and helpful. It was like staying with my grandparents.

United StatesWiFi barely works. It’s not possible to even watch a movie. I also thought it was going to be more hostel life but I saw no one the 2 days I was there (it’s true that I was barely home). For a solo traveler, it’s nice to meet new people.
Very good hostel overall. Room was clean and big, staff is very kind, and location is good. It’s a very good option for the price!

CanadaOverall a really nice hostel! It honestly doesn’t feel like a hostel with how nice the rooms are and how clean they feel. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfy, there’s AC, and there’s a filtered water jug in the lobby. The owner is really nice too. Not quite in the main area of town, but the walk isn’t that far.
