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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaNothing to mention during our stay.
This is a super charming property with very professional, friendly, and attentive staff. Viktor at the front desk is exceptional! We were well looked after. We had a street facing room with balcony and the timber shutters at night created a completely quiet environment.

GermanyFirst room I had was on the ground floor and very noisy, could hear everything form the room opposite. But the great team solved this and I got a more quiet room on the 2nd floor.
Super nice hotel, right in the city center. Amazing old building and decoration, like in a historical film. Wonderful team. Great restaurants. Breakfast was OK.

United StatesThe staff all went out of their way to ensure we had everything we need and were super friendly. The location of the hotel is right in the heart of downtown, perfect location. The free breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed our dinner there as well! Couldn’t say enough good things about the hotel and staff.

United StatesOur room was lovely and comfortable - the bed was perfect. There was a fancy sitting room common area which was really nice. We ordered room service and that was nice. The breakfast was fantastic - great choice and high quality. The staff were also helpful in finding me a private tour guide. Will stay again if passing through Cuenca again.

United Stateswe were ROBBED while at breakfast. several hundred dollars stolen in the 35 minutes downstairs. ZERO consideration from management. a closed circuit video of area that did not include doorway to room, only meaningless explanation from manager how it couldnt happen even though staff were outside our doorwhen we went downstairs for breakfast. a very disappointing and disorienting experience given how upscale hotel is.
breakfast was good, room was great lots of space, location very good. most of staff were very good

Czech RepublicWe had room 210 and just above our doors, there was loud speaker, so we could hear all music all the time. As well, for me it was very noisy, I could hear everything from the restaurant, every plate, every vacumer. No outside windows in this room.
Super central, nice people working there,

Czech RepublicThe shower didn’t work properly - the water was either very hot or very cold. We found a pin on the floor. Luckily we haven’t stepped on it barefoot, but… The cleaning person left a dirty cleaning cloth in our room, which did not inspire confidence in the cleanliness of the room overall. The hotel heavily overcharges for the airport pick up (taxi is 3 USD, we paid 16 USD from the hotel)
The hotel had a lovely oldschool vibe to it. The restaurant is nice and has good food.

BelgiumThe room in general, we were put in a corner room on the ground floor so had no privacy. The hotel needs to do more to sound proof the kitchen area: they were really noisy and we could hear them throwing with things from our room. Laundry service is seriously overpriced: 10 USD to wash 1 shirt, 1,5 USD per pair of socks,... Crazy prices, especially for Ecuador. Don't take the Eggs Benedict for breakfast, they can't make hollandaise sauce, it was just butter.
Great location, a beautiful setting, good bed and free parking.

United StatesBreakfast was very disappointing. We asked three times for marmalade and finally the server told us he didn't have any. We were the first people in the restaurant and the last people to get waited on.
Location of this hotel is perfect. Our room was very large and nice but we asked for a different room once we were at the hotel as the room we were originally assigned did not have a window.

United StatesCompared to the price at first I was shown a room without any windows. A bed and a toilet. Since I had the description of what I was going to get...I hardly got any of what I paid for. There was no view; and the loud disco music, latin music, and other music at the same time were highly disturbing. All the above happened because the initial hostess at the front desk was a very awful person. I needed a refrigerator as was written on my accomodation page...I did not get one and lost all the artisan cheese I had brought. I am planning to come back to Cuenca but will not stay at the Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia.
The wait staff in the restaurant are outstanding and attentive. They were all very polite. The food in restaurant was also very, very good!

ItalyThe bathroom felt a bit outdated and it was a bit noisy from the street outside.
The hotel is located in one of the old colonial buildings in Cuenca and the setting is beautiful. The inner courtyard is really nice. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were also extremely helpful and available at all times.
