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 reviewGreat location, very close to port, beaches and main square for food. Air con was very good Very good price for private room. More like little apartments than hostel.
Limited common area for relaxation. This is small thing.

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.

Verified reviewLocation in the centre, walkable distance to everything you need. Spacious room with AC
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.

Verified reviewGreat location just few minutes walk to the beach and main street, also about 15 min walk to the pier and Concha de Perla Room was comfortable, good shower, beds were dressed daily Good aircon Kitchen there to cook - we didn't avail but seemed equipped Filtered water at reception
No one at reception ever, non existent. Not that friendly ( probably language barrier) . Offered tours when we checked in but never saw receptionist really since that so if needed info - no one to be found. So not really helpful Wifi was hit and miss

Verified reviewClean easy access , monitored most of the time, 3 blocks from main square, beach another block
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

Verified reviewSimple, clean rooms. Comfortable, big bed. Overall nice property.
Staff could not care less. We arrived, had to write our data in a book that was very publicly to see for everybody, were shown tours (in a way that seemed like she actually did not care if we have a good time but like she just did what she was forced to do by her boss) and that was the last we heard or saw from the staff. We did not get any information about breakfast, check-out, drinking water, the area or any of the things I typically expect when staying at a hotel/ hostel. Also, there was NO breakfast while we stayed there. We had to explicitly ask for that information.

Verified reviewGreat 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.

Verified reviewLocation is fine, Isabela is a small island so everything is within walking distance. The room was a good size, cleaned every day and the shower and wifi was good. Drinking water available
The staff, who were never around and couldn't be found. Whenever we needed to ask something, we couldn't find them, the one time we did, we asked if they could arrange a taxi to take us to the port at 6am and they said they couldn't, but there would be taxis available on the streets. There were no taxis available on the street and we had to drag our cases the 20 minute walk along the side of the road at 6am. It was also very noisy! Walls are very thin, could always hear the people next to us, every car, motorbike, kids playing in the street at night, so if you want quiet I would suggest somewhere else.

The extra $2 for bigger breakfast is not worth it, they give you tiny cheap yogurt and about a soup spoon of granola for that money...we found bigger and cheaper breakfast next door
