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 StatesRoom and bathroom size is a bit on the smaller size, but would not deter me from booking again in the future.
Great and timely communication before arrival, helped me with tour recommendation that was exceptional. Located in front of the beach, pretty property, walking distance to the center of town. Great service, attentive. Free continental breakfast with coffee, cereal, and toasted breads (eggs and fresh fruits too). AC and wifi work very well. Helped me book a taxi to the port for 5am pick up.

United States1. The space of the family suite is small, especially the bathroom. 2. Breakfast is included for all the other the rooms but the family suite.
Rebekka had been very friendly and helpful from the beginning of our stay. She waited at the front of the hotel when we arrived and gave us a tour and many good travel tips. The beach is right across the street. I like to relax at the rooftop resting area with a beautiful ocean view. Our family suite has everything we need. And we can walk to town easily.

United StatesThis is a beautiful small hotel literally right across from the beach on Isabella Island. The rooms were reasonably sized and well decorated. The viewing decks provide an awesome place to hang out to watch the sunset. Had I known how wonderful this hotel and its location were, we would have stayed here longer. The breakfast was exactly what we expected. The staff were extremely helpful in giving us places to eat and helping us arrange transportation

United KingdomPerhaps could have been more practical for us e.g. a little more storage space in the room for example some more hooks to hang towels etc and there is a beautiful hammock but not in our ideal location. Our room could have been bigger but maybe we feel this way because it rained during our stay.
Beautiful location and accommodation: there has been attention to detail making everything look lovely including the shared garden&rooftop area and the reception&breakfast rooms. Nice touch providing beach towels. On a rainy day, we relaxed on the rooftop with a book and enjoyed watching the birds playing in the rain and appreciated that private, covered area. Lovely staff, including useful information and recommendations for our time on Isabela. Designated area for hand washing and drying clothes kept everything nice and tidy. Recommend the pink iguana bar over the road for sunset cocktails.

United StatesHousekeeping staff may be inexperienced. For example, did not refill potable water x 3 day and did not replenish linens. There was never a person at reception. However, VERY attentive otherwise. I really have nothing negative.
Location is fabulous. Away from town (2 minutes-town is a relative word) and right across from the beach. Very Attentive.

United StatesOwners friendly and helpful. Inn is comfortable and cute with beautiful ocean views from upper patio areas. Lots of comfortable seating up there with large umbrellas for needed shade. Small plunge pool (hot tub sized) was great for cooling off. Highly recommend before bed! Blue footed boobies, marine iguanas, and pelicans right on the beach! Beach was the longest we saw in the Galapagos. Convenient walk to tortoise center and into town. You do need a taxi from the port, but only $2.
