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 StatesEverything was great
I recently had the pleasure of staying in this hotel, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations, largely due to the exceptional staff members. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, who not only efficiently checked me in but also provided invaluable information about local attractions and activities. Throughout my stay, every staff at the hotel demonstrated a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. The housekeeping staff ensured that my room was impeccably clean and comfortable, while the restaurant staff went above and beyond to give me a great breakfast. One particular standout was Luis, whose extensive knowledge of the area allowed me to make the most of my time in Baños. They were always eager to recommend the best restaurants, arrange transportation, and even help me plan my itinerary. Overall, the staff at this hotel truly made my stay unforgettable, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Baños. Their professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to providing exceptional service set them apart and made me feel like a valued guest throughout my entire stay.

EcuadorThe little spa area is totally worth it. You don't need to go outside the facilities to have a relaxing time, which is handy if you don't have too much time in Baños. The location is also great since this place is close to Baños' main attractions.

Louis spoke English and was helpful with anything we needed, especially recommending and setting up tours. I am not sure how he could be better at his job and as a person. He deserves a lot of credit.

The owner/host Luis was very friendly and helpful in terms of what to do, where to go etc. He also had very good english. Breakfast was nice with fresh fruit, granola, cereal, coffee and omelettes both mornings. The location is a couple of blocks off the main street so away from the noise too which was great. The roof top has a nice sawing and chill area as well to look up at the waterfall from the hotel.

United StatesMy Internet on the second floor was slow and I kept getting kicked off. Once I got a connection, the internet was okay.
The location is in the quiet side of town. The view from my second floor was of the big cascade in Banos proper. Picture of view from room below. Great night light show from same cascade. The host spoke English and very attentive to our needs. The included breakfast was very good. Among other things, a delicious omelette, fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice and hot tea. Everything was very clean and good mattresses and pillows.

United StatesBathroom - totally functional, but major complaints were no ventilation in the bathroom and a plugged floor drain, meaning it stayed quite damp after showering.
Nice location on the edge of town, but within several minutes walking of just about everything! Luis (host / owner) was friendly and knowledgeable in activities to do, and even helped reserve tours for me.

United StatesMy reservation included breakfast, and I didn't like it. They give you the choice of scramble eggs, fried eggs or an omelet with cheese and ham, I asked for an omelet and it tasted weird. I tried to disguise the taste with ketchup, but it tasted even more weird then I realized the ketchup was expired and so was the mayo. They also offered you Humitas, which is a traditional Ecuadorian corn patty and it was also bad, so I ended up eating just the bread, coffee and blackberry juice which was delicious.
The hotel is located near the center of the town, the facilities were clean and in perfect condition, they cleaned the room and change the bedsheets everyday while I was there, my room included a king bed , a jacuzzi, and a mini bar. The staff was absolutely amazing, they went out of their way to make sure we were pleased with our time there and made several recommendations of the touristic places to visit near the area, which made everything a lot easier for us. I will definitely stay there next time I go to Banos.
