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.).

United KingdomNothing - was amazing!
The views! Wow this property is incredible. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sea will never get old! Breakfast is on the roof in an amazing setting - fresh eggs cooked however you like and picky bits available too. Thoughtfully designed rooms and everyone we met working there was lovely. Super helpful on check out as well when we had a late ferry.

CanadaWe liked everything about this place. nothing to complain about at all accept for it is not easy to find. A little sign on the road and you walk up a sandy walk way between a business to get to it. That would be our only complaint. If the taxi guy didn't ask someone we had no idea accept what the name of the hotel was.
The young man working at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. He explained everything and offered us some extras which was really nice. We were able to leave our things in the room and use the room until we left the next day because the room was not rented out which was really kind of him. Were are on the ocean side and it was beautiful. The breakfast in the morning that was included was better than any place we stayed at where it was included and they were also very friendly in the restaurant as well. nice open air restaurant on top of the hotel so nice view as well.

CanadaThe hotel is lovely and clean. The beach it is on is beautiful. Going to sleep every night to the sounds of the waves, then waking up to the amazing view was worth it. Breakfast was always good and plentiful, and the staff were always helpful. On our last day, they allowed us to have a late checkout, which was much appreciated!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing to complain about
Stepping straight out of this B&B onto the golden sand you may have to walk at least 20 feet before the start of the surf at high tide! Fantastic location, comfortable, nicely decorated rooms close to all necessary amenities and close to an easily walkable (100m) range of on-the-beach cocktail shacks and restaurants. Would happily stay here again, ideal for exploring Isabella - but also taking a few beach days out from the whole Galapagos ecological wonder holiday.

United KingdomBreakfast needs improving. The two staff seemed rushed and stressed out, as most guests came at the opening time of 7am. It would be much better to start breakfast earlier (6 or 6.30) especially given a lot of the tours start collection from 7am! And also the selection at breakfast was VERY limited and unhealthy- just sugary cereals (coco pops and Frosties), croissants, small amount of fruit. You can ask for eggs, but the portion size was TINY. Would be nice to have a proper coffee machine too, with cappuccino options etc. But the breakfast restaurant and views are very nice.
Great location, friendly staff especially Natalie at reception, coffee/tea available throughout day, on the beach, quiet, all amenities in room.

AustraliaNothing. Although we did not have a great start. We booked two ocean view rooms months ago; 24 hours before arrival we were contacted and advised “we have a little inconvenience for your first night because we don't have ocean view rooms first we want to apologize for this inconvenience and we will assign you a standard room with a prefered rate”. We advised them how unhappy we were about this, they would have known this at least 3 days prior and were advised “In Hospitality business sometimes there is an overbooking and we work with a waiting list so we usually wait for somebody cancel a reservation but this time it was not the case. The best solution was for the first nigth just change the room category with a prefered rate.” They did provide a bottle of wine as an apology BUT the best solution is to change your refund policy from non refundable 3 days before arrival to 30 days before arrival!
Stepping out from our room right on the pristine beach and going for a swim in the incredibly clean water. The location is unbeatable.

United StatesNot much could be improved. Maybe more towels?
Estavan and Natalie (hoping I spelled these names correctly) were incredibly helpful: responsive, communicative, and proactive. The location is right on the beach where sea lions, penguins, boobies, and pelicans entertain you. The facilities are clean and lovely. Not too stuffy, simple, and perfect. Breakfast was delicious every day and on the roof, you couldn't ask for a better view to sip your coffee every morning.

The most beautiful B&B in the most beautiful location. The room was kept thoroughly clean every day and the decor was gorgeous. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was the best we’d had in a couple of weeks of traveling! The view speaks for itself… waking up and going to sleep to the sound of the ocean is like nothing I’ve experienced before. Watching the pelicans, blue footed boobies, frigates and marine iguanas from the balcony was just epic. Nathaly was a gracious host. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Every other member of the team that worked there was exactly the same. Always smiling! Breakfast was good too. It’s on the rooftop looking over the beach. It isn’t big, but plenty to fill up on and always very tasty. The location was right on the main road with plenty of bars and restaurants including Pink Iguana Bar just two along. We were so sad to leave! Highly recommend this place to anyone.

SingaporeFor breakfast, other than the egg station the Choice becomes very limited .. there’s only 2 types of cereal, 2 types of bread …and 2 types of jams, almond milk, coffee and tea .. this made up the whole breakfast selection … And they are able to cater to VEGAN, but will need to inform reception the night before …
Everything based on previous review is true!! Get the sea view room!! We love that they made up our room everyday… we appreciate it!! For breakfast, there’s a live egg cooking station … and you can order any type of eggs …fried, hard boiled, omelette etc .. And as most of tour started very early, they offered earlier breakfast around 645am to accommodate us.. Also, as our ferry was very early.. they have pre-arranged a breakfast box for us with us asking … and the pick up to ferry arrived before the time stated..
