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 StatesNo water bottle filling was a big disappointment and hassle.
The no shoes in house rule. The premises were beautiful as was the hotel woodwork. The breakfast and coffee were good and with very flexible timing.

United StatesOnly hand soap was provided. Perhaps guests should be informed that they should bring their own soap for the shower. The suicide shower worked fine, but the water never got hot, only warm. Window screens needed to keep ventilation throughout the room. The windows to our room didn't open, so that's a moot point.
The staff was excellent, friendly, and accommodating. The room was large enough for the three of us. It was very clean even though it was rustic, with comfortable beds.

NetherlandsThe only downside of the hostería is the lack of isolation between the floors. It can be noisy if the guests in the room are somewhat noisy. If you expect to have problems with that, ask for a room on the top floor.
My second stay in Mindo Greenhouse (first time was 4 years ago). Not much changed. A great place to stay in nice rooms, all - AFAIK- with balcony, most overlooking the beautiful garden (kolibri's all over the place, including the balcony). The owners were very kind and hospitable, the staff (Carmen and Luis) always ready to help out with things and, like the owners, giving a welcoming feeling. The food is good and comes with a reasonable variety and price.

NetherlandsThe (wooden) house is a little bit noisy. We could here our upstairs neighbours walking around. Flushing the toilet was difficult and should be fixed. The bathroom door made a crackling sound. However these a mere details.
Beautiful place, nice atmosphere, kind helpful staff. We loved the house, the garden and being immersed in nature. The food is good and the overall experience was great. If returning to Mindo we would love to stay here again.

MoroccoI’m 5’11” and could not stand upright in half of the bedroom or in the bathroom. this would have been tolerable for a single night, but we booked a three night stay and couldn’t really relax in the bedroom unless lying down. Also, this is a per-friendly property which meant we had a barking dog in the room adjacent to us for the first night.
pretty gardens and close proximity to town. when our hot water stopped working after the first day, staff kindly offered for us to use another shower.

United Statesthe only thing was that the shower had very little hot water and very little water in general. and it is difficult when the style of the shower head is on the ceiling and pointing away from you. a handheld would be much better.
beautiful garden, very tranquil, I loved the style of the house too. it felt like home. the location was so perfect- around the corner from the edge of town so it was quiet, yet close so we could walk everywhere. breakfast was great!

EcuadorThe only thing that didn’t make the property perfect was the lack of hot water in the shower. Other than that, everything great!
The house is beautiful, clean and located very close to the town. Andrés was super nice and always attentive to our needs and questions. The view from the balcony was insane! We also spent a beautiful evening playing music in the garden social area, it was awesome!

EcuadorOur room faced the street so it was very noisy with lots of light coming in at night, try to get a room that faces the garden. It says pet-friendly on the website, however, they only allow one pet per room (even though they did make an exception for us due to the misunderstanding).
Close to the center of town. Has a lovely garden with beautiful views of the mountains. Comfortable beds and warm shower.

United StatesThe walls are paper thin - can hear every word that anyone says in the other rooms. There were no windows that open - the door to the patio opens but at night we didn't want bugs so we closed it. As a result the room was very stuff and hot - even with the fan on. The owner is a bit strange with his rules.
Great location. Very clean. Not much else to say.

United KingdomThe room my young daughter and I had reserved through Booking had been taken by other (loud) guests who were drinking on the balcony and pretended not to hear us knocking to inform there had been a mistake. We were offered a smaller darker room. A massive disservice to this app: photos deceiveing, staff rude and unresponsive. I was not surprised to see many vacant rooms. We left.

South AfricaWhile we enjoyed stay, and the place is so beautiful we sadly wouldn’t stay there again because of the following. The showers are terrible, it was hard to have them stay warm and they never got hot. So after hiking all day in the rain it’s not enjoyable to get a almost warm shower. You also don’t get access drinking water or at least it’s limited, so you have to buy your own.
The house itself is very beautiful and in a great location, it’s only 3 minutes walk to town but also you feel like you are in nature. The garden is beautiful and you have a hummingbirds flying around your balcony. The staff are very kind and helpful. The internet was good.
