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.).

IsraelThe room was a bit basic for my taste, but the guesthouse has a nice vibe and for the location it is a great deal!
Very nice property in fantastic location just steps from the center of town. The communication with hotel was excellent, they were very responsive. Antony organized a car to pick us up from Quito and later to take us to Otavalo for a very good price. The car was large and comfortable. The staff was friendly, bed comfortable.

ChinaThe room is clean, and the hostel is conveniently close to town. They have an amazing garden full of hummingbirds. The staff are super nice, and we really enjoyed our stay. Their dog, Rocky, is amazing; we had an early morning trip to the bird garden, and he walked us all the way there, which was so sweet.

United StatesThe bathroom was kind of small, might be better to have a sink outside the bathroom so 2 people can use at the same time. The garbage bucket in the bathroom was way to small for paper and other garbage. I suggest another garbage can in the room, or get a bigger one for the bathroom. That's all, everything else I liked!
The room was clean, bright, and more spacious than I expected. My family of 5 adults had plenty of space, most had our own beds which were very comfortable. The room was simple but nicely decorated and had a big window to see the river. The breakfast was delicious and convenient for a reasonable price. They let us check in early and leave our bags after checkout. The location was great, we could walk to everything ... chocolate, massage, ice cream, food, park, stores, butterflies, hummingbirds. I would definitely stay again!

United StatesNeed hangers and hooks in the room, so you can put clothes and towels to air out/dry.
Lovely location by the creek. Surrounded with lush greenery. Like paradise. Specific roofed area with hammocks, so when it drizzles you can stay relaxed. The breakfast are was lovely, overlooking the creek. The hummingbird feeders were close by. Our room was beautiful. We loved the fact you take of the shoes before getting to the second floor of the rooms, or to the hammocks’ area.

NetherlandsNothing we did not like. We would have preferred to book breakfast in advanced, but it is a minor thing, you can just get it there and for a very decent price! Food quality also amazing.
We loved the hotel. So beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and the views amazing. I never has breakfast in such a beautiful place. Mindo is a great place to visit, extremely safe and with many things to do! We recommend the canopy, the bird watching, the waterfalls and the chocolate tour. We also had the transfers organised by the hotel which was very handy and helped us a lot to move from airport to mindo and mindo to cotopaxi!
