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.).

GermanyNada! Everything was perfect.
Vistamar is a special place with incredible views and such a homely, peaceful and cozy vibe! I could have happily stayed here for several weeks instead of just 6 days, and am already thinking of returning as soon as possible! The room was large and had a lot of storage space, and the bed was super comfy. I loved the shared kitchen/garden/chill out space downstairs, as well as the spacious rooftop deck that's used for yoga classes in the mornings. The beach and some very cool bars, cafes and restaurants are only a few minutes walk away. The optional meals at Vistamar (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are a nice touch, and are fresh, local and healthy!

United StatesIt’s a bit of a walk to the beach but the view of it is there and wave sounds do reach both Vistamar and Mango house properties
A beautifully designed space with an exceptional team leading and taking care of it. I couldn’t have imagined such an authentic and local experience at any other place in this gem of a place called Ayampe. Very thankful to have stayed at Mango House and to have had access to Yoga classes [with one of the best views in all of Ayampe] and common spaces at Vistamar, located a few minutes walk down the road. I stayed at The Loft and most enjoyed the views and private deck. It’s a smaller space than other rooms but cozy and equipped with all one could need.

United KingdomNothing
I can't speak too highly of this accommodation which we found to be absolutely superb. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner Matteo who was extremely helpful and informative throughout our stay. The chef was on a fortnights holiday but the owner arranged for someone to provide breakfast during our stay and it was easily the best breakfast we had in our five weeks in Ecuador. The accommodation had a separate sitting room with nice sofas and our bed and shower were both excellent. A large outdoor kitchen and dining space exists with all facilities needed to cook meals. The owner provides a large fridge which is fully stocked with beer and guests are able to take what they want during the stay and pay when leaving. The views from the top deck of the accommodation over the river estuary and beach are breathtaking.

NetherlandsLeaving this place was the worst!
Vistamar Guest House is just one big surprise. The staff, the accommodation, the cook, and after weeks of bad food in Equador had the best breakfasts and dinners here accompanied with the lovely other guests and owners. Plus they provide so many activities. Best place in Equador!
