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.).

GermanyEverything was a pleasure
Everything was great, escpecially, that we directly get our room at 9:30 pm and could leave our lagguage until 2pm in a secured area until our ferry was scheduled. The mini bar in the rooms as well as water, coffee and tea is included the whole day. We went completly wet due to rain and could use the towels and infrastructure to get changed.

DenmarkThe room is not properly isolated, so on my first day of arrival, i was very tired and needed to sleep to get some rest, but I could not do this because I could hear a child outside. The bed was very good to sleep on, however, the pillow is a bit too hard to sleep on.
The room is spacious. I liked that hotel picked me up from port of the island ( 40 km away from hotel ) to the hotel, pick and return is included as part of their service. They do have contacts to organize tours, which is a pity since I did not know about that. There a free mini snack bar, water and coffee to take. Room is very clean. I felt home and safe in this hotel.

United StatesWish we had more than 4 days to stay
The location of the newly refurbished hotel is perfect, very close to the main street, pier and food kiosks. Breakfast starts early at 6AM so you can make it before you leave for the many island boat tours. Digital bracelets enable front door entrance, room and safe access. Good A/C, TV and WiFi connection. There is a small fridge in the room, along with refillable water bottles that you can fill besides the pool (there is also a coffee station). Also there are a couple of cloth backpacks, you can get some groceries from the supermarket by the pier. Byron and Marco made sure we were comfortable and also fulfilled our transport to Baltra airport.

United StatesWe liked everything.
We had a lovely three night stay at this delightful hotel. The Santa Fe is central but just far enough away from the main streets to be quiet. it is beautifully designed, with a little pool and pleasant seating areas. We had a deluxe room with a comfortable balcony. The room had a fridge and free snacks. The breakfast was good and the staff really helpful. We had laundry done and the hotel stored a suitcase for us while we went on a cruise.

CanadaExcellent location, service and breakfast provided. Location is very close to the Tortuga Bay and also very close to downtown without any noise from the city. The receptionist was very helpful and assisted us with any task or question we had. We needed laundry and it cost us two or three dollars with full service and delivery to the room. The room was very nice with everyday cleaning services provided. Overall, highly recommended place to stay.

United StatesExtremely expensive for what we got and especially given that this was clearly at the end of the peak season. Unhelpful and lazy staff could not get us a schedule for the ferry from the Santa Cruz port to Tortuga Bay Beach and back despite several requests. They turned hostile and the 4 of the staff members ganged up on me and my son, making us feel unwelcome there. The manager was extremely rude beyond comprehension when we'd mentioned that the receptionist was not able to answer a simple question. We had to call the tour company that organized our tours to get that information.
Very good breakfast cooked by a kind lady. We were the only guests in the hotel during our 3 night stay! Water filling station to avoid buying water in plastic bottles.
