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 StatesThe receptionist, Carlos, was phenomenal! Friendly, smiling, laughing. A real joy to be around! He helped to organize my tours which were same or less price than agencies. He would let me know when taxis arrived, and make sure I had water, sunscreen , hat, etc. and help me into tall taxi bus! He is super kind, caring and professional. I had allergies or cold and he gave me a packet of Syngrapal - similar to tylenol cold/ cough. He went over and beyond. I speak very little Spanish but enough for us to communicate and use translator - which helped me learn more. The hotel is very modern, comfortable and garden is relaxing. I was solo. The island is super safe and everyone knows everyone. ( and they will all know you in a couple days!) Walk to beach and restaurants was 3-5 min . The A/C is great, has hot water but I didn’t need it, hangers, comfy bed and pillows, Front Gate, Garden area w tables chairs for meals, filtered water in lobby avail 24 hrs, etc

GermanyNothing the hotel can do anything for, but there is a street dog barking a lot at night. That can happen everywhere.
Our best hotel in the Galapagos Islands and during our South America trip. Everything is renovated, new and modern. The rooms are attractive, very clean and the daily room service is excellent. Finally a hotel that thinks practically when furnishing the rooms. There is enough storage space and shelves as well as possibilities to hang things up and dry them. The shower has perfectly hot water with high water pressure. The owner and all the staff is very friendly and helpful 24/7, you feel welcome all the time. The location of the hotel is very good, a few minutes to the beach, great restaurants and bakeries within a minute's walk.

I sometimes didn't want to go out because the room was so comfortable with a nice AC! Comparing to what we paid in other islands, this place was definitely worth every penny.

United StatesThe hotel is in a good location - walking distance to everything. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and there was daily room service. The room was big and there was a private patio with a sofa looking onto a courtyard. A big clothes drying rack was provided which was very helpful. Communication with the host before the stay was very good. The WiFi was good. The shower was hot. There was AC in the room. There was a hose to wash off beach sand before going in the rooms which was a nice option. There was a common fridge and electric kettle to use and filtered water. Segundo the host was so friendly and accommodating. We had an afternoon ferry and he offered for us to keep the room until we had to leave for the ferry which was very helpful. Definitely recommend this property.

New ZealandNothing really.
Very new property, with big rooms, very comfy beds and AC (a must depending on the time of the year!). Away from the beach & centre, but only a 15 mins stroll to either and great value for money. Does not do breakfast but there's plenty of places close by, including a bakery right across the road with super extensive opening hours. All activities in Isabela have exactly the same price no matter who you contract them with (they seemed to have arranged it like this purposefully), so arranging them through the hotel is quite convenient.

Asked for your recommendations, and signed up for a Sierra Negra tour. It ended up being on a bus of 20 or so, with uninterested guides. Better off making your bookings elsewhere.
