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.).

Czech Republicthis is really amazing place in Ecuador. Maybe the best hotel we visited during of our trip ... really very nice garden, bungalovs .. everything was so comfortable and we spend there 3 nights. I have to reccomend this hotel and - ocean and beach in front of the hotel - no big vawes, you can swim there without no problem and hotel lends beach equipment for free. Tasty and big breakfast, excellent jams!!! This place is = MUST BE!!!

BelgiumIf I were staying again, I would book a nicer room as mine, the butterfly room, looks back towards the road. So my recommendation is to book one with a view towards the sea or a cabin.
The hosteria is wonderful. The woodwork is stunningly beautiful and the concept, creating a mini-ecosystem of biodiversity as an oasis in Puerto Lopez, is inspirational. The hosts were so unbelievably friendly and nice, and their team is exceptional.

United StatesToo perfect in every way!
Traveling to Porto López to visit the Blue Boobies and enjoy the most beautiful beach in Ecuador, Los Frailes? Hosteria Mandala is the MUST stay. Super helpful and friendly staff and the last hotel on the secluded north side of the beach or an easy 20 minute drive up the road to the National Park. The hotel is connected with the best tours of the Island and very helpful on suggestions of great places to eat in town just a 10 minute walk away. I just don’t know how this place could be any better for travelers looking for a relaxing and welcoming place to stay in Porto Lopez. A++++

United StatesThe only thing we could have asked for was better temperature control. We had a fan in our sleeping quarters, but it was still a bit warm. Perhaps ceiling fans or a couple more floor fans to point directly at each bed would be great!
We loved all of the wood and the outdoor deck we had. The proximity to the beach was perfect and the manager at the front desk was incredibly helpful and accommodating of our early morning start on our departure day.

Very beautiful place with a lot of woodwork, trees and flowers. very helpful staff, nice breakfast. We could let our bag in a locker room and take a shower after coming back from our excursion even though we had already checked out. Really great place!
