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.).

Nothing - rooms don’t have balconies but they don’t claim they have and there is a nice shaded seating area which you can see in the photos.
Good location near the main square but away from noise. Restaurant and shop nearby. There is a decent, clean kitchen.

The bathroom was a bit basic, no window just a mosquito net so when the Aircon is on you have to shut the door otherwise the cold escapes through that.
Location in the centre, walkable distance to everything you need. Spacious room with AC

Next door they have a dance studio operating from 3 to min 9pm, teacher talks loudly and music even louder. Accom owners have nil say in this difficult to get enough sleep when in hot sun all day
Clean easy access , monitored most of the time, 3 blocks from main square, beach another block

Great stay highly recommend. Close to restaurants, bars and everything you need. Laundry place right across the road very handy. Bed was comfy, place was clean and shower was hot. Really appreciated having shower gel and shampoo provided. Some space outside the room to dry swim wear. One of our favourite accommodations in Galapagos. Simple and basic but done very well.

Really nice hostel, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Check-in and out is early so works well for all the early ferries and getting access to your room as you arrive. They stored our bags on check out until our afternoon ferry. They had a kitchen and washing lines for drying. Would stay again.

All was fine, wifi is not the best but that’s everywhere on the islands. Communication is only possible in Spanish, in English it will be more difficult
The people were friendly, the wifi worked ok, location is pretty good because it’s just 10 min walk to the port and a few meters to restaurants … we booked the volcano tour at the hostel because it was 10 dollars cheaper. The los tunnels Tour was a bit more pricy than in other agency’s. Makes sense to compare the deals.
