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 KingdomThe location is difficult when you are not used to the altitude or hills - 10 minutes hard slog to the centre. Nothing apart from small shops in the immediate vacinity. The kitchen could do with a microwave and some matches. The TV might be more modern. The shower took a little getting used to! But for the price, I couldn't complain because everything else was great!
The room was excellent, very comfortable for the price. Marco was a great host, very friendly and often invited me to join him and his friends to play sports or party. A good birder too! Breakfast was included and was simple but nutritious - fruit (sometimes with local fruit). omlette, and toast with white cheese and avocado. Lovely coffee with added special ingredient! Wif fi was good usually.

CanadaIt was on a hill, so going out and coming back was a trek for me but I aint fit, I think it will be fine for most. Tv was small and outdated and no cable only dvds. This aint a problem for most as you are there to explore the city and country but I do like to check out different channels to see what the local people are watching. Silly I know but thats how I travel.
I chose this place as it was between La Mariscal and Historic Center. Walking distance during the day and a $2 taxi ride back at night. The place itself seemed safe as I was walking around at night. Marco was helpful and a chill dude. He provided me with all info I needed. Breakfast was also great and Marco did accommodate for me when I have an early start in the day. Kitchen is fully equipped. Rooms are decent and spacious.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Its almost like a Homestay where you and other guests share one floor of the building. Marco is a nice host. Gives good advice about the area. Really comfy bed. Shared kitchen with other guests and a little shop downstairs where you can buy things to cook for dinner. Hot shower. Can walk to old town. Good breakfast as well - fruit, omelette and pastry with coffee.

Marco is the best host in Quito, very friendly and helpful, very good breakfast. Room was clean, bed very comfortable. There is a big common living room on the floor and kitchen you can use. Close to historical center and amazing Itichimbia park. Totally recommended.

United KingdomOne of the lights in the kitchen didn't work so it was a little dark in there in the evenings when cooking dinner. The tap in the sink in our bathroom leaked a little. And I felt the bedroom was missing a bedside lamp.
Very homely apartment with four guestrooms and a good-sized shared kitchen and large lounge. The decor is very dated but that adds to the charm. Marco was useful in providing tips on travel plans and things to do in Quito. The breakfast was tasty and filling – fruit salad, eggs cooked to your liking, bread/pastry, and tea/coffee. There's not a laundry service at the guesthouse, but there's a good and affordable laundrette just around the corner. Although a bit of a walk from the historic centre, it's well-located for connections with buses, making it cheap and easy to get to.

The bedroom is spacious and clean, and the common area has a kitchen, a living room and all of the equipment to be confortable. The location is both isolated and close to amenities, restaurants and the city center. Awesome place!

Marco the host is extremely kind, he collected me from the airport and changed the times of breakfast nearly daily to suit me. He was always available to help with all my questions. The room was a good size and clean and comfortable. I had the use of a balcony in the lounge and the views are amazing. Having the kitchen was great too it meant I didn’t have to eat out every night. There’s a great little shop downstairs as well.The Wi-Fi was excellent.

GermanyJust to write something, in my personal opinion there was missing a small light to read in bed in the room
It was a very familiar feeling there. Our stay was very comfortable. Marco picked us up at the airport in the middle of the night. He is very friendly and has good advices. The place has a balcony with a great view. You have also a kitchen to cook or restaurants nearby. The historical center and many bus stations are also nearby. I can highly recommend the place if you stay in Quito.
